2. Registration.

 

(a) Mandatory
Registration. The Company shall prepare and, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Filing Deadline, file with the
SEC an initial Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities, provided that such initial
Registration Statement shall register for resale at least the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Registration Amount
as of the date such Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC; provided further that if Form S-3 is unavailable for such
a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is required by Section 2(c). Such initial Registration Statement, and each other
Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the
Required Holders) the “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” sections in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such initial Registration Statement,
and each other Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, declared effective by the SEC as soon
as practicable, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement.

 

(b) Legal
Counsel. Subject to Section 5 hereof, Jolie Kahn, Esq., counsel solely to the lead investor (“Legal Counsel”)
shall review and oversee any registration, solely on behalf of the lead investor, pursuant to this Section 2.

 

    3

    

    

 

(c) Ineligibility
to Use Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder,
the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or another appropriate form reasonably acceptable
to the Required Holders and (ii) undertake to register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form
is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of all Registration Statements then in effect until such time
as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC and
the prospectus contained therein is available for use.

 

(d) Sufficient
Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under any Registration Statement 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 2(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 (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) 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) 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 the Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as the case may be) to be filed with the SEC). The
Company shall use its 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 the SEC, but in no event later than
the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement. 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 shares of Common Stock 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 exercise of the Series D Warrants.

 

    4

    

    

 

(e) 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 (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 2(f))
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”) (it being understood that if the Company files a Registration Statement
without affording each Investor and Legal Counsel the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(c) hereof,
the Company shall be deemed to not have satisfied this clause (i)(A) and such event shall be deemed to be 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 the 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) in accordance
with Section 3(b) (whether or not such a prospectus is technically required by such rule), 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) other than during an Allowable Grace
Period, on any day after the Effective Date of a Registration Statement sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be included
on such Registration Statement (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 2(f)) 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 (or a failure to
timely list) the shares of Common Stock on the Principal Market (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or any other limitations
imposed by the Principal Market, or a failure to register a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock 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 for the damages to any holder by reason
of any such delay in, or reduction of, its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall not be exclusive
of any other remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance), the Company shall pay to each
holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to one percent (1%) of such Investor’s
original Effective Purchase Price (1) on 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); provided that in no event shall the aggregate of such amounts payable by the Company to
any Investor hereunder exceed ten percent (10%) of such Investor’s aggregate Effective Purchase Price. The payments to which a holder
of Registrable Securities shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2(e) 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 thirty (30) day anniversary of such event or failure, then such Registration Delay Payment shall
be made on the third (3rd) Business Day after such 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%)
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 shares of Common Stock on the Principal 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).

 

    5

    

    

 

(f) Offering.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the payment of the Registration Delay Payments pursuant
to Section 2(e), in the event the staff of the SEC (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. Any reduction pursuant to this
paragraph will first reduce all Registrable Securities other than those issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.  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
twenty (20) 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 (it being understood that the special demand right under this sentence may be exercised
by an Investor multiple times and with respect to limited amounts of Registrable Securities in order to permit the resale thereof by such
Investor as contemplated above).

 

    6

    

    

 

(g) Piggyback
Registrations. Without limiting any obligation of the Company hereunder or under the Securities Purchase Agreement, if there is not
an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities or the prospectus contained therein is not available for
use and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement or offering statement relating to an offering
for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each
as promulgated under the 1933 Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any
acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee
benefit plans) (a “Piggyback Registration”), then the Company shall deliver to each Investor a written notice of such
determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Investor shall so request
in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement or offering statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities
such Investor requests to be registered; provided, however, (i) the Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of
a registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 2(g) at any time in its sole discretion and (ii) the Company shall not be required
to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2(g) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction
(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 that are the subject of a then-effective Registration Statement. If a Piggyback Registration 
is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter advises the Company and the holders
of Registrable Securities (if any holders of Registrable Securities have elected to include Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration)
in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration ,
including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds
the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be
included in any such registration  would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock to be sold in such offering,
the Company shall include in such registration or takedown (i) first, the shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to
sell; (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by holders of Registrable Securities, allocated pro rata
among all such holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder or in such manner as they may otherwise
agree; and (iii) third, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by holders of Common Stock other than holders of Registrable
Securities, allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree. If a Piggyback Registration  is initiated as an underwritten
offering on behalf of a holder of Common Stock other than Registrable Securities, and the managing underwriter advises the Company in
writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration ,
including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds
the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be
included in any such registration  would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock to be sold in such offering,
the Company shall include in such registration  (i) first, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by the
holder(s) requesting such registration or takedown and by the holders of Registrable Securities, allocated pro rata among all
such holders on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock other than the Registrable Securities (on a fully diluted, as converted
basis) and the number of Registrable Securities, as applicable, owned by all such holders or in such manner as they may otherwise agree;
and (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by other holders of Common Stock, allocated among such holders
in such manner as they may agree.

 

    7

    

    

 

(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 shares
of Common Stock 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 (other than a Piggyback Registration pursuant to Section 2(g)) without the prior written consent
of the Required Holders. Until the Applicable Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), without the prior written consent
of the Required Holders, the Company shall not enter into any agreement providing any registration rights to any of its security holders,
except as otherwise permitted under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

3. Related
Obligations.

 

The Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition
thereof, and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

 

(a) The
Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to all the Registrable Securities (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 (but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline). Subject to Allowable Grace Periods,
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 November 5, 2026 (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 (including, without limitation,
all amendments and supplements thereto) and the prospectus (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) used
in connection with such 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
two (2) Business Days after the later of the date that (i) the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will
be made by the Staff or that the Staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement (as the case may be) and (ii) the
consent of Legal Counsel is obtained pursuant to Section 3(c) (which consent shall be immediately sought), 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. The Company shall respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of a Registration Statement as soon as practicable,
but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that an amendment is required in
order for a Registration Statement to be declared effective.

 

    8

    

    

 

(b) Subject
to Section 3(r) of this Agreement, 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 1933 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 1933 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; provided, however,
by 8:30 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately following each Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance
with Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to the applicable 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 3(b))
by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 8-K, Form 10-Q or Form 10-K or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “1934 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 the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend
or supplement such Registration Statement.

 

(c) The
Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel and legal counsel for each other Investor to review and comment upon (i) each Registration Statement
at least five (5) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to each 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 a form to which Legal Counsel or any legal counsel for
any other Investor reasonably objects. The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or to any prospectus contained therein without the prior consent of Legal Counsel, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall promptly furnish to Legal Counsel and legal counsel for each other Investor,
without charge, (i) copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the Staff to the Company or its representatives relating to each Registration
Statement, provided that such correspondence shall not contain any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), (ii) after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one (1) copy
of each Registration Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements and
schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, and all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness
of each Registration Statement, one (1) copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements
thereto. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel and legal counsel for each other Investor in performing the Company’s
obligations pursuant to this Section 3.

 

(d) The
Company shall promptly furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge,
(i) after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one (1) copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s)
thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested
by an Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of each Registration Statement, ten (10)
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 (iii) 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.

 

(e) 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 a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky”
laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (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 Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be 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(e), (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 Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor and 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.

(f) The
Company shall notify Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor and 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, may include an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in 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, subject
to Section 3(r), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement and such prospectus contained therein
to correct such untrue statement or omission and deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel, legal counsel
for each other Investor and each Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor or such
Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor and each
Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, when a Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel,
legal counsel for each other Investor and each Investor by e-mail on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), and when
the Company receives written notice from the SEC that a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment will be reviewed by the
SEC, (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information,
(iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate;
and (iv) of the receipt of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for any additional information
relating to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any related prospectus. The Company shall respond as
promptly as practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto (it
being understood and agreed that the Company’s response to any such comments shall be delivered to the SEC no later than fifteen (15)
Business Days after the receipt thereof).

 

(g) The
Company shall (i) use its 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 at the earliest possible moment and (ii) notify Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each
other Investor and 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.

 

(h) 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.

 

    10

    

    

 

(i) 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
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 reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector,
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 (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 1933 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 (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement). 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.

 

(j) 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 or is otherwise required to be disclosed in such
Registration Statement pursuant to the 1933 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,
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.

 

(k) Without
limiting any obligation of the Company under the Securities Purchase 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, (ii) secure designation and quotation of all of the Registrable Securities covered
by each Registration Statement on an Eligible Market (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), or (iii) if, despite the Company’s
reasonable best efforts to satisfy the preceding clauses (i) or (ii) the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clauses
(i) or (ii), without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for at least two market makers
to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) as such with respect to such Registrable Securities.
In addition, the Company shall cooperate with 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. The Company shall
pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 3(k).

 

    11

    

    

 

(l) 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 (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered
pursuant to a 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.

 

(m) If
requested by an Investor, the Company shall as soon as practicable after receipt of notice from such Investor and subject to Section 3(r)
hereof, (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests to
be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect
to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering
of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii)
supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement or prospectus contained therein if reasonably requested by an Investor holding
any Registrable Securities.

 

(n) The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement 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.

 

(o) 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 1933 Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following
the applicable Effective Date of each Registration Statement.

 

(p) 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.

 

(q) Within
one (1) Business Day after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company
shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies
to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such Registration Statement
has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

(r) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the last sentence of this Section 3(r)), at any time after the Effective Date of
a particular Registration Statement, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the board of directors of the Company,
in the best interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a “Grace Period”),
provided that the Company shall promptly notify the Investors in writing of the (i) existence of material, non-public information giving
rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each such notice the Company shall not disclose the content of such material, non-public information
to any of the Investors) and the date on which such Grace Period will begin and (ii) date on which such Grace Period ends, provided
further that (I) no Grace Period shall exceed twenty (20) consecutive days and during any three hundred sixty five (365) day period all
such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of sixty (60) days, (II) the first day of any Grace Period must be at least five (5)
Trading Days after the last day of any prior Grace Period and (III) no Grace Period may exist during the sixty (60) Trading Day period
immediately following the Effective Date of such Registration Statement (provided that such sixty (60) Trading Day period shall be extended
by the number of Trading Days during such period and any extension thereof contemplated by this proviso during which such Registration
Statement is not effective or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use) (each, an “Allowable Grace Period”).
For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, such Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Investors receive
the notice referred to in clause (i) above and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors receive the notice referred
to in clause (ii) above and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 3(g) hereof shall not be applicable during
the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of each Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence
of Section 3(f) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no longer applicable.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3(r), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended
shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection
with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which such Investor has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy
of the prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent applicable, prior to such Investor’s receipt
of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

 

(s) The
Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by each Investors of its Registrable
Securities pursuant to each Registration Statement.

 

    12

    

    

 

(t) Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify any Investor as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with
the SEC, the Principal Market or any Eligible Market (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and any Buyer being deemed an underwriter
by the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined
in the Securities Purchase Agreement); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from including the disclosure
found in the “Plan of Distribution” section attached hereto as Exhibit B in the Registration Statement.

 

(u) Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after
the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights
granted to the Buyers in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

 

4. Obligations
of the Investors.

 

(a) At
least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of each Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each
Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from each such Investor with respect to such Registration Statement. It shall
be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the
Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the
Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably
required to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents
in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

 

(b) 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 each Registration Statement hereunder, 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.

 

(c) 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(g)
or the first sentence of 3(f), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration
Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(c), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares
of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any
sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which such Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s
receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of
Section 3(f) and for which such Investor has not yet settled.

 

    13

    

    

 

5. Expenses
of Registration.

 

All reasonable expenses, other
than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2
and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, FINRA filing fees
(if any) and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the Company. The Company shall reimburse Legal Counsel
for its fees and disbursements in connection with registration, filing or qualification pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement
which amount shall be limited to $10,000 for each such registration, filing or qualification.

 

6. Indemnification.

 

(a) To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor and each of
its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally
equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) and each Person, if any, who
controls such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act and each of the directors, officers, shareholders, members,
partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding
such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”),
against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including,
without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense and investigation), amounts paid in settlement
or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action,
claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative
or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Person is or may be a party
thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings,
whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification
of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered
(“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus
(as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged
omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in 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 1933 Act, the 1934 Act,
any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or
sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing
clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse
the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable 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 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out
of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such
Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement or
any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d);
and (ii) 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 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 any of the Registrable Securities
by any of the Investors pursuant to Section 9.

 

    14

    

    

 

(b) In
connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify,
hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors,
each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them
may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based
upon any Violation, in each case, to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and,
subject to Section 6(c) and the below provisos in this Section 6(b), such Investor will reimburse an Indemnified Party any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided,
however, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7
shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided further that such Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b)
for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the applicable
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 such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities
by any of the Investors pursuant to Section 9.

 

(c) Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6 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 indemnifying party under
this Section 6, deliver to the 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, except to the extent that the indemnifying party
is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

(d) The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

 

(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 the indemnifying party may be subject to
pursuant to the law.

 

    15

    

    

 

7. Contribution.

 

To the extent any indemnification
by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect
to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however:
(i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards
set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, (ii) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution
from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution
by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the applicable
sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, 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(b), by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

 

8. Reports
Under the 1934 Act.

 

With a view to making available
to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144, 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 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as
the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood and agreed that nothing herein shall limit any obligations of the
Company under the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions
of Rule 144; and

 

(c) furnish
to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company,
if true, that it has complied with the reporting, submission and posting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (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 with
the SEC if such reports are not publicly available via EDGAR, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to
permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

 

9. Assignment
of Registration Rights.

 

All or any portion of the
rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by each Investor to any transferee or assignee (as the case may be) of all
or any portion of such Investor’s Registrable Securities or Series D Warrants if: (i) such Investor agrees in writing with such
transferee or assignee (as the case may be) to assign all or any portion of such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to
the Company within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment (as the case may be); (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable
time after such transfer or assignment (as the case may be), furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee
or assignee (as the case may be), and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned
(as the case may be); (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment (as the case may be) the further disposition of such
securities by such transferee or assignee (as the case may be) is restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws if
so required; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence such transferee
or assignee (as the case may be) agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; (v) such transfer
or assignment (as the case may be) shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement
and the Series D Warrants (as the case may be); and (vi) such transfer or assignment (as the case may be) shall have been conducted in
accordance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

 

10. 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 the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders; provided that any such amendment or waiver that complies with the
foregoing, but that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Investor relative to the comparable
rights and obligations of the other Investors shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Investor. Any amendment
or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company, provided that no such amendment
shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of Registrable Securities or (2) imposes any obligation
or liability on any Investor without such Investor’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Investor’s
sole discretion). No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement
unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

    17

    

    

 

(c) Failure
of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy,
shall not operate as a waiver thereof. The Company and each Investor acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the
event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.
It is accordingly agreed that each party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions
of this Agreement by any other party hereto and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (without the necessity of showing
economic loss and without any bond or other security being required), this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party may
be entitled by law or equity.

 

(d) All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws
of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New
York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each
party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough
of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed
herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue
of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under
this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES
ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH
OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

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

 

    18

    

    

 

(f) This
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein
and therein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto solely with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein.
This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced
herein and therein supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto solely with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed
to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Investor has entered into with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date
hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Investor in the Company, (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any
obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any rights of or benefits to any Investor or any other Person in any agreement
entered into prior to the date hereof between or among the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Investor and all such agreements
shall continue in full force and effect or (iii) limit any obligations of the Company under any of the other Transaction Documents.

 

(g) Subject
to compliance with Section 9 (if applicable), this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the permitted successors
and assigns of each of the parties hereto. This Agreement is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any
Person, other than the parties hereto, their respective permitted successors and assigns and the Persons referred to in Sections 6
and 7 hereof.

 

(h) The
headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. Unless the
context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural
forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed
broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof”
and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

 

(i) This
Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall be
considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the
other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an email which contains a portable document
format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing
(or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

 

(j) Each
party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such
other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

    19

    

    

 

(k) 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10, terms used in
this Agreement but defined in the other Transaction Documents shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the Closing Date in such
other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by each Investor.

 

(l) All
consents and other determinations required to be made by the Investors pursuant to this Agreement shall be made, unless otherwise specified
in this Agreement, by the Required Holders, determined as if all of the outstanding Series D Warrants then held by the Investors have
been exercised for Registrable Securities without regard to any limitations on exercise of the Series D Warrants then held by Investors.

 

(m) This
Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the
benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

 

(n) The
obligations of each Investor under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents 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
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by
any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors
do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that
the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors are not acting in concert or as a group,
and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
any of the other the Transaction Documents. 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 any 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. The use of a single agreement with respect
to the obligations of the Company contained herein was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Investor,
and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor. It is expressly
understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and
an Investor, solely, and not between the Company and the Investors collectively and not between and among Investors.

Re: American
Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

[We are][I am] counsel to American
Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection
with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) entered into by and among the
Company and the buyers named therein (collectively, the “Holders”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holders
Series D Warrants (the “Warrants”) exercisable into the Company’s shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per
share (the “Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration
Rights Agreement with the Holders (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among
other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). In connection
with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ____________ ___, 20__, the Company filed a Registration
Statement on Form [S-1][S-3] (File No. 333-_____________) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names each of the Holders as a selling
stockholder thereunder.

 

In connection with the foregoing,
[we][I] advise you that [a member of the SEC’s staff has advised [us][me] by telephone that [the SEC has entered an order declaring
the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS]] [an order declaring
the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS]] has been posted
on the web site of the SEC at www.sec.gov] and [we][I] have no knowledge, after a review of information posted on the website of the SEC
at http://www.sec.gov/litigation/stoporders.shtml, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings
for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933
Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

This letter shall serve as our
standing opinion to you that the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants are freely transferable by the Holders pursuant to the
Registration Statement. You need not require further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance or reissuance of such shares
of Common Stock to the Holders as contemplated by the Company’s Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions dated _________ __, 20__.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The shares of common stock
being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders upon exercise of the warrants. For additional
information regarding the issuance of the warrants, see “Private Placement of Warrants” above. We are registering the shares
of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership
of the warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship
with us within the past three years.

 

The table below lists the
selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder) of the shares of common stock held by each of the selling stockholders.
The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders, based on their respective
ownership of shares of common stock and warrants, as of ________, 20__, assuming exercise of the warrants held by each such selling stockholder
on that date but taking account of any limitations on exercise set forth therein.

 

The third column lists the
shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders and does not take in account any limitations on exercise
of the warrants set forth therein.

 

In accordance with the terms
of a registration rights agreement with the holders of the warrants, this prospectus generally covers the resale of 200% of the maximum
number of shares of common stock issued or issuable pursuant to the Warrants. Because the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted,
the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The
fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Under the terms of the warrants,
a selling stockholder may not exercise the warrants to the extent (but only to the extent) such selling stockholder or any of its affiliates
would beneficially own a number of shares of our common stock which would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company. The number
of shares in the second column reflects these limitations. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this
offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering the shares
of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders of the warrants
from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders
of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.

 

The selling stockholders may
sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock held by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more
underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders
will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in
one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time
of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant
to one or more of the following methods:

 

		●	on
                                            any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed
                                            or quoted at the time of sale;

 

		●	in
                                            the over-the-counter market;

 

		●	in
                                            transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

 

		●	through
                                            the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange
                                            or otherwise;

 

		●	ordinary
                                            brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

		●	block
                                            trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares 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;

 

		●	short
                                            sales made after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC;

 

		●	broker-dealers
                                            may agree with a selling security holder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated
                                            price per share;

 

		●	a
                                            combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

		●	any
                                            other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

    B-2

     

    

 

The selling stockholders may
also sell shares of common stock under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than
under this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholders may transfer the shares of common stock by other means not described in this
prospectus. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers
or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from
the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may
sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess
of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling
stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common
stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver
shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short
sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

 

The selling stockholders may
pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the warrants or shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the
performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time
pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act
amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling
stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances
in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of
this prospectus.

 

To the extent required by
the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution
of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission
paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under
the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will
be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including
the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling
stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.

 

Under the securities laws
of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition,
in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state
or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

 

    B-3

     

    

 

There can be no assurance
that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of
which this prospectus forms a part.

 

The selling stockholders and
any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange
Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other
participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of
the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may
affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with
respect to the shares of common stock.

 

We will pay all expenses of
the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $[     ]
in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities
or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions,
if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act in accordance
with the registration rights agreements or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling
stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished
to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements
or we may be entitled to contribution.

 

Once sold under the registration
statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than
our affiliates.

The following summary of our 2.00% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) is based on and qualified by the Senior Indenture, dated as of March 15, 1997, between John Deere Capital Corporation (“Capital Corporation”) and the Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York, successor Trustee to The Chase Manhattan Bank), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a first supplemental senior indenture, dated as of April 21, 2011, a second supplemental senior indenture, dated as of April 17, 2014 and a third supplemental senior indenture, dated April 7, 2017 (such indenture, as so supplemented, the “Indenture”). This summary is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the actual Indenture. For a complete description of the terms and provisions of the Company’s notes, refer to the Indenture, which is filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Throughout this exhibit, references to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to John Deere Capital Corporation.
We issued $600,000,000 total principal amount of the 2031 Notes on June 17, 2021.  The 2031 Notes are a part of our Medium-Term Notes, Series H, Due from 9 Months to 30 Years from the Date of Issue issued under the Indenture and pursuant to a Prospectus, dated April 6, 2020 (the “Prospectus”), and Prospectus Supplement, dated April 6, 2020 (together, the “Prospectus Supplement”), and Pricing Supplement No. 11, dated June 14, 2021. The total initial public offering price of senior notes and subordinated notes that may be offered using the Prospectus Supplement was $25,000,000,000 or its equivalent in one or more foreign currencies, but this limit decreases by the sale of other securities that are described in the Prospectus including any sales of JDCC InterNotes Due Nine Months or More from Date of Issue.
The Indenture governs our obligations under the 2031 Notes. The terms of the 2031 Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”). The 2031 Notes are subject to all such terms.
The 2031 Notes are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “JDCC31.”
We have issued a significant amount of other debt securities under the Indenture that have neither been registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 nor listed on the NYSE. You should refer to our description of the amount of debt outstanding as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities, including 2031 Notes, that the Company may issue under the Indenture.
Defined terms used in this description but not in this summary have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
General
The 2031 Notes will mature on June 17, 2031 (the “Maturity Date”). The 2031 Notes are senior securities of the Company and rank equally with all unsecured senior debt. The 2031 Notes are direct and unsecured obligations of the Company.
The 2031 Notes are not subject to any sinking fund.
The 2031 Notes were issued in a form of one or more registered Global Securities in minimum denominations of $1,000 with increments of $1,000 thereafter.

Interest and Interest Rates
Interest on the 2031 Notes accrues at a rate of 2.00% per year accrued from June 17, 2021 and is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 17 and December 17 (each an “Interest Payment Date), commencing on December 17, 2021 and ending on the Maturity Date. We pay interest to those persons who were holders of record of the 2031 Notes on the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a business day) next preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, as the case may be (each a “Regular Record Date”). Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
Interest on the 2031 Notes denominated in U.S. dollars will be paid by check mailed on an Interest Payment Date other than a Maturity Date to the persons entitled thereto to the addresses of such holders as they appear in the security register or, at our option, by wire transfer to a bank account maintained by the holder. The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2031 Notes, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, due on the Maturity Date will be paid in immediately available funds upon surrender of such 2031 Notes at the corporate trust office of the Trustee in The City of New York, or, at our option, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account with a bank designated at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date by the applicable registered holder, provided the particular bank has appropriate facilities to receive these payments and the particular 2031 Note is presented and surrendered at the office or agency maintained by us for this purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in time for the Trustee to make these payments in accordance with its normal procedures.
Payment
If the Maturity Date or any repayment date or an Interest Payment Date for the 2031 Notes is not any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York (a “Business Day”), the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2031 Notes will be paid on the next Business Day, and no interest will accrue from and after the Maturity Date or Interest Payment Date. Interest on the 2031 Notes will be paid to holders of record as of each Regular Record Date.
Book-entry and other indirect holders should consult their banks or brokers for information on how they will receive payments on their debt securities.
Book-Entry Debt Securities
The 2031 Notes are issued in book-entry form only. This means that the Company did not and will not issue actual 2031 Notes or certificates to each holder. Instead, it issued issue a global security representing the 2031 Notes with similar terms and the Global Security is held by or on behalf of the Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee. In order to own a beneficial interest in a 2031 Note, you must be an institution that has an account with DTC or have an account with an institution, such as a brokerage firm, that has an account with DTC.
Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on 2031 Notes represented by a global security will be made in same-day funds to DTC in accordance with arrangements then in effect between the Trustee and DTC.
Optional Redemption, Repayment and Repurchase
The 2031 Notes are not redeemable prior to the stated maturity, and holders do not have the option to elect repayment by the Company prior to the date of the stated maturity. The Company may at any time purchase 2031 Notes at any price in the open market or otherwise. The Company may hold, resell or surrender for cancellation any 2031 Notes that it purchases.
​

Events of Default
The term “Event of Default” in respect of the 2031 Notes means any of the following, among others:
		·
	We do not pay the principal of, or any premium, if any, on the 2031 Notes on its due date.

		·
	We do not pay interest on the 2031 Notes within 30 days of its due date.

		·
	We remain in breach of a covenant in respect of the 2031 Notes for 60 days after we receive a written notice of default stating we are in breach. The notice must be sent by either the Trustee or holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the 2031 Notes.

		·
	We file for bankruptcy or certain other events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur.

An Event of Default for a particular series of any of our debt securities does not necessarily constitute an Event of Default for any other series of debt securities issued under the same or any other indenture. The Trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any default, except in the payment of principal, premium or interest, if it considers the withholding of notice to be in the best interests of the holders (Section 601).
Remedies if an Event of Default Occurs.  If an Event of Default has occurred and has not been cured, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the 2031 Notes may declare the entire principal amount of all the debt securities of the 2031 Notes to be due and immediately payable. This is called a declaration of acceleration of maturity. A declaration of acceleration of maturity may be canceled by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the 2031 Notes. (Section 502)
Except in cases of default, where the Trustee has some special duties, the Trustee is not required to take any action under the applicable indenture at the request of any holders unless the holders offer the Trustee reasonable protection from expenses and liability (called an “indemnity”). (Section 602 and Section 315 of the TIA) If reasonable indemnity is provided, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding 2031 Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any lawsuit or other formal legal action seeking any remedy available to the Trustee. The Trustee may refuse to follow those directions in certain circumstances. (Section 512) No delay or omission in exercising any right or remedy will be treated as a waiver of that right, remedy or Event of Default. (Section 511)
Before you are allowed to bypass your Trustee and bring your own lawsuit or other formal legal action or take other steps to enforce your rights or protect your interests relating to the 2031 Notes, the following must occur:
		·
	You must give your Trustee written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

		·
	The holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all outstanding 2031 Notes must make a written request that the trustee take action because of the default and must offer reasonable indemnity to the Trustee against the cost and other liabilities of taking that action.

		·
	The Trustee must not have taken action for 60 days after receipt of the above notice and offer of indemnity.

		·
	The holders of a majority in principal amount of the 2031 Notes must not have given the trustee a direction inconsistent with the above notice during that 60-day period. (Section 507)

However, you are entitled at any time to bring a lawsuit for the payment of money due on your 2031
​

Notes on or after the due date. (Section 508)
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the 2031 Notes may waive any past defaults other than
		·
	the payment of principal, any premium or interest or

		·
	in respect of a covenant that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each holder. (Section 513)

Book-entry and other indirect holders should consult their banks or brokers for information on how to give notice or direction to or make a request of the Trustee and how to declare or cancel an acceleration.
Each year, we will furnish to each trustee a written statement of certain of our officers certifying that to their knowledge we are in compliance with the applicable indenture and the debt securities, or else specifying any default. (Section 1005)
Merger or Consolidation
Under the terms of the Indenture, we are generally permitted to consolidate or merge with another entity. We are also permitted to sell all or substantially all of our assets to another entity. (Section 801) However, we may not take any of these actions unless all the following conditions are met:
		·
	Where we merge out of existence or sell our assets, the resulting entity must agree to be legally responsible for our obligations under the debt securities. (Section 801)

		·
	The merger or sale of assets must not cause a default on the debt securities and we must not already be in default (unless the merger or sale would cure the default). For purposes of this no-default test, a default would include an Event of Default that has occurred and has not been cured, as described under “Events of Default” above. A default for this purpose would also include any event that would be an Event of Default if the requirements for giving us a notice of default or our default having to exist for a specific period of time were disregarded. (Section 801)

		·
	Under the Indenture, no merger or sale of assets may be made if as a result any of our property or assets or any property or assets of one of our Subsidiaries would become subject to any mortgage, lien or other encumbrance unless either (i) the mortgage, lien or other encumbrance could be created pursuant to the limitation on liens covenant in the Indenture (see “Limitation on Liens” below) without equally and ratably securing the Indenture securities or (ii) the Indenture securities are secured equally and ratably with or prior to the debt secured by the mortgage, lien or other encumbrance. (Section 801 of the Indenture)

		·
	We must deliver certain certificates and documents to the Trustee. (Section 801)

		·
	We must satisfy any other requirements specified in the prospectus supplement or term sheet relating to the 2031 Notes.

Modification or Waiver
There are three types of changes we can make to the Indenture and the 2031 Notes issues thereunder.
Changes Requiring Your Approval.  First, there are changes that we cannot make to the 2031 Notes without your specific approval. (Section 902) Following is a list of those types of changes:
		·
	change the stated maturity of the principal of or interest on the 2031 Notes;

​

4

		·
	reduce any amounts due on the 2031 Notes;

		·
	reduce the amount of principal payable upon acceleration of the maturity of the 2031 Notes following a default;

		·
	adversely affect any right of repayment at the holder’s option;

		·
	change the place or currency of payment on the 2031 Notes;

		·
	impair your right to sue for payment;

		·
	reduce the percentage of holders of 2031 Notes whose consent is needed to modify or amend the Indenture;

		·
	reduce the percentage of holders of 2031 Notes whose consent is needed to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or to waive certain defaults;

		·
	modify any other aspect of the provisions of the Indenture dealing with supplemental indentures (Section 902), modification and waiver of past defaults (Section 513), changes to the quorum or voting requirements (Section 1504) or the waiver of certain covenants (Section 1007); and

		·
	change any obligation we have to pay additional amounts.

Changes Not Requiring Approval.  The second type of change does not require any vote by the holders of the 2031 Notes. This type is limited to clarifications and certain other changes that would not adversely affect holders of the 2031 Notes in any material respect. We also do not need any approval to make any change that affects only debt securities to be issued under the Indenture after the change takes effect.
Changes Requiring Majority Approval.  Any other change to the Indenture and the 2031 Notes would require the following approval:
		·
	If the change affects only the 2031 Notes, it must be approved by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the 2031 Notes.

		·
	If the change affects more than one series of debt securities issued under the Indenture, it must be approved by the holders of a majority in principal amount of all of the series affected by the change, with all affected series voting together as one class for this purpose.

In each case, the required approval must be given by written consent. The holders of a majority in principal amount of all of the series of debt securities issued under an indenture, voting together as one class for this purpose, may waive our compliance with some of our covenants in that indenture. However, we cannot obtain a waiver of a payment default or of any of the matters covered by the bullet points included above under “—Changes Requiring Your Approval.”
Further Details Concerning Voting.  Debt securities will not be considered outstanding, and therefore not eligible to vote, if we have deposited or set aside in trust money for their payment or redemption. Debt securities will also not be eligible to vote if they have been fully defeased as described below under “Defeasance—Full Defeasance”.
We will generally be entitled to set any date as a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of outstanding indenture securities that are entitled to vote or take other action under the indentures. If we set a record date for a vote or other action to be taken by holders of one or more series, that vote, or action may be taken only by persons who are holders of outstanding indenture securities of those series on the record date and must be taken within eleven months following the record date.
​

Defeasance
Covenant Defeasance.    Under current United States federal tax law, we can make the deposit described below and be released from some of the restrictive covenants in the Indenture. This is called “covenant defeasance.” In that event, you would lose the protection of those restrictive covenants but would gain the protection of having money and government securities set aside in trust to repay your debt securities.
		·
	If the debt securities of the particular series are denominated in U.S. dollars, such as the 2031 Notes, we must deposit in trust for the benefit of all holders of such debt securities a combination of money and United States government or United States government agency notes or bonds that will generate enough cash to make interest, principal and any other payments on the debt securities on their various due dates.

		·
	We must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel confirming that, under current United States federal income tax law, we may make the above deposit without causing you to be taxed on the debt securities any differently than if we did not make the deposit and just repaid the debt securities ourselves at maturity.

		·
	We must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel stating that the above deposit does not require registration by us under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and a legal opinion and officers’ certificate stating that all conditions precedent to covenant defeasance have been complied with.

If we accomplish covenant defeasance, you can still look to us for repayment of the debt securities if there were a shortfall in the trust deposit or the trustee is prevented from making payment. In fact, if one of the remaining Events of Default occurred (such as our bankruptcy) and the debt securities, including the 2031 Notes, became immediately due and payable, there might be a shortfall. Depending on the event causing the default, you may not be able to obtain payment of the shortfall.
Full Defeasance.  If there is a change in United States federal tax law, as described below, we can legally release ourselves from all payment and other obligations on the debt securities of a particular series (called “full defeasance”) if we put in place the following other arrangements for you to be repaid:
		·
	If the debt securities of the particular series are denominated in U.S. dollars, such as the 2031 Notes, we must deposit in trust for the benefit of all holders of such debt securities a combination of money  and United States government or United States government agency notes or bonds that will generate enough cash to make interest, principal and any other payments on the debt securities on their various due dates.

		·
	We must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion confirming that there has been a change in current United States federal tax law or an Internal Revenue Service ruling that allows us to make the above deposit without causing you to be taxed on the debt securities any differently than if we did not make the deposit and just repaid the debt securities ourselves at maturity. (Section 1404) Under current United States federal tax law, the deposit and our legal release from the debt securities would be treated as though we paid you your share of the cash and notes or bonds at the time the cash and notes or bonds were deposited in trust in exchange for your debt securities and you would recognize gain or loss on the debt securities at the time of the deposit.

		·
	We must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel stating that the above deposit does not require registration by us under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and a legal opinion and officers’ certificate stating that all conditions precedent to defeasance have been complied with.

​

6

If we ever did accomplish full defeasance, as described above, you would have to rely solely on the trust deposit for repayment of the debt securities, including the 2031 Notes. You could not look to us for repayment in the unlikely event of any shortfall. Conversely, the trust deposit would most likely be protected from claims of our lenders and other creditors if we ever became bankrupt or insolvent.
Resignation of Trustee
The Trustee may resign or be removed with respect to one or more series of Indenture securities provided that a successor trustee is appointed to act with respect to these series. (Section 608) In the event that two or more persons are acting as Trustee with respect to different series of securities under the Indenture, each of the trustees will be a trustee of a trust separate and apart from the trust administered by any other trustee. (Section 609)
Limitation on Liens
We covenant in the Indenture that neither we nor any of our Subsidiaries will pledge or subject to any lien any of our or their property or assets unless the securities under the Indenture are secured by this pledge or lien equally and ratably with other indebtedness thereby secured (the “lien covenant”). There are excluded from this covenant liens created to secure obligations for the purchase price of physical property, liens of a Subsidiary securing indebtedness owed to us, liens existing on property acquired upon exercise of rights arising out of defaults on receivables acquired in the ordinary course of business, sales of receivables accounted for as secured indebtedness in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, certain liens not related to the borrowing of money and other liens not securing borrowed money aggregating less than $500,000. (Section 1006) Pursuant to the first, second and third supplemental indentures, senior securities that are part of a series created on or after the date of such supplemental indentures, such as the 2031 Notes, will be subject to further exclusions from the lien covenant with respect to cash collateral related to hedging transactions, collateral posted for extensions of credit by a unit of a central banking system through a discount window or similar facility or arrangement, and liens provided in connection with borrowing from loan and subsidy programs operated by (or on behalf of) a national development bank, country, government, government agency, supranational entity or similar agency or entity.
The Trustee Under the Indenture
The Bank of New York Mellon is a bank with which we and Deere & Company maintain ordinary banking relationships and from which we and Deere & Company have obtained credit facilities and lines of credit. The Bank of New York Mellon also serves as trustee under other indentures under which we or Deere & Company are the obligor.
