Stated Interest on this Note will (i) accrue on the Principal Amount of this Note; (ii) accrue from, and including, the most recent date to which Stated Interest has been paid or duly provided for (or, if no Stated Interest has theretofore been paid or duly provided for, the Issue Date) to, but excluding, the date of payment of such Stated Interest; (iii) be paid to Holder in cash on each Amortization Date or Interest Payment Date in accordance with Section 5(A) or in shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section

(4)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Collateral Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Holders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

23

discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4(C)(iii).

(5)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBOR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Collateral Agent and the Company may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark setting at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Collateral Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

With respect to any Interest Payment Date for which the Company has elected to make a payment of Stated Interest (or any applicable portion thereof) in shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Section 5(B), the Company shall issue to the Holder on each such Interest Payment Date a number of validly issued, fully paid and Freely Tradable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient (rounded up to the closest whole number) obtained by dividing such payment of Stated Interest (or any applicable portion thereof) by the Market Stock Payment Price as of such Interest Payment Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will not have the right to, and will not, make any payment of Stated Interest (or any applicable portion thereof) in shares of Common Stock if the Equity Conditions are not satisfied for each VWAP Trading Day occurring between the date of delivery

24

of the Stated Interest Stock Payment Notice and the applicable Interest Payment Date (and the Company shall certify in writing to the Holder on the applicable Interest Payment Date that the Equity Conditions have continued to have been satisfied during such period), and such payment of Stated Interest (or any applicable portion thereof) shall instead be paid in cash on such Interest Payment Date in accordance with Section 5(A), unless such failure of the Equity Conditions to be so satisfied is waived in writing by the Holder, which waiver may be granted in whole or in part or withheld by the Holder in its sole discretion.

Failure to timely deliver such written notice to the Holder shall be deemed an election by the Company to pay the Amortization Payment with respect to such Amortization Date in shares of Common Stock. With respect to any Amortization Date for which the Company shall make an Amortization Payment (or any applicable portion thereof) in shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Section 5(C)(i)(1), (i) the Holder shall allocate all or any portion of any applicable Amortization Payment to any Scheduled Trading Day (any such date, an “Amortization Stock Payment Date”) during the period beginning on, and including, the applicable Amortization Date and ending on, and including, the Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the subsequent Amortization Date (the “Amortization Stock Payment Period”); and (ii) the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of validly issued, fully paid and Freely Tradable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient (rounded up to the closest whole number) obtained by dividing such Amortization Payment (or any applicable portion thereof) by the Market Stock Payment Price as of such Amortization Stock Payment Date. Any portion of the Amortization Payment not paid in shares of Common Stock because the Holder did not allocate such Amortization Payment (or applicable portion thereof) to a Scheduled Trading Day during the applicable Amortization Stock Payment Period shall remain outstanding. The Holder must provide notice to the Company of its election of any Amortization Stock Payment Date and the applicable portion of the Amortization Payment it is electing to receive on each such Amortization Stock Payment Date no later than 4:30 p.m. New York Time on such Amortization Stock Payment Date.

8 NTD: To be the first day of the twelfth (12th) month after the Issue Date.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will not have the right to, and will not, make any Amortization Payment (or any applicable portion thereof) in shares of Common Stock if the Initial Equity Conditions are not satisfied for each VWAP Trading Day occurring between the Amortization Date and the applicable Amortization Stock Payment Delivery Date (as defined below) (and the Company shall certify in writing to the Holder on the applicable Amortization Stock Payment Delivery Date that the Initial Equity Conditions have continued to have been satisfied during such period), and such Amortization Payment (or any applicable portion thereof) shall instead remain outstanding,unless such failure of the Initial Equity Conditions to be so satisfied is waived in writing by the Holder, which waiver may be granted in whole or in part or withheld by the Holder in its sole discretion. The Company shall not pay any portion of any Amortization Payment in shares of Common Stock on any day that the Holder has not allocated or deemed to have allocated as an Amortization Stock Payment Date.

The Holder must provide notice to the Company of its election of any Amortization Stock Payment Date and the applicable portion of the Amortization Payment it is electing to receive on each such Amortization Stock Payment Date no later than 4:30 p.m. New York Time on such Amortization Stock Payment Date; provided, that the Company will not have the right to, and will not, unless consented to in writing (of which email notice shall be sufficient) by the Holder on the last Trading Day of the Amortization Stock Payment Period, make any payment of the Amortization Payment (or any applicable portion thereof) in shares of Common Stock which, on the last Trading Day of the Amortization Stock Payment Period, after

(2)cash in an amount equal to the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest on this Note to, but excluding, the Conversion Settlement Date for such conversion or, at the election of the Company, a number of validly issued, fully paid and Freely Tradable shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Consideration Interest Shares”) equal to the quotient (rounded up to the closest whole number) obtained by dividing the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest on this Note to, but excluding, the Conversion Settlement Date by the Conversion Price.

(ii) Company’s Election to Convert Accrued Interest into Common Stock. At least ten (10) Trading Days prior to a Conversion Date, the Company, if it desires to elect to convert accrued and unpaid interest on this Note into Conversion Consideration Interest Shares pursuant to Section 7(D)(i)(2), shall deliver to the Holder a written notice of such election and certifying that the Equity Conditions are satisfied as of such date (a “Conversion Consideration

29

Interest Shares Notice”) (and such election shall be irrevocable with respect to such interest and all subsequent conversions until the Company provides to the Holder at least ten (10) Trading Days written notice of its intent to terminate such election). Failure to timely deliver such written notice to the Holder shall be deemed an election by the Company to pay such accrued and unpaid interest in cash. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will not have the right to, and will not, make any conversion of accrued interest into Conversion Consideration Interest Shares if the Equity Conditions are not satisfied for each VWAP Trading Day occurring between the day of the delivery of the Conversion Consideration Interest Shares Notice and the applicable Conversion Settlement Date (and the Company shall certify in writing to the Holder on the applicable Conversion Settlement Date that the conditions set forth in this Section 7(D)(ii) are satisfied as of such Conversion Settlement Date), and such conversion of accrued interest shall instead be paid in cash in accordance with Section 7(D)(i)(2), unless such failure of the foregoing conditions to be so satisfied is waived in writing by the Holder, which waiver may be granted or withheld by the Holder in its sole discretion.

(iii)Fractional Shares. The total number of shares of Common Stock due in respect of any conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 7 will be determined on the basis of the total Principal Amount of this Note to be converted with the same Conversion Date; provided, however, that if such number of shares of Common Stock is not a whole number, then such number will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

(iv)Delivery of the Conversion Consideration. The Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, the Conversion Consideration due upon the conversion of this Note to the Holder on or before the second (2nd) Business Day (or, if earlier, the standard settlement period for the primary Eligible Exchange on which the Common Stock is traded) immediately after the Conversion Date for such conversion (the “Conversion Settlement Date”).

(v)Company Failure to Timely Deliver Stock Payments. If (x) the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date to deliver shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 5(B), Section 5(C), Section 5(E), or Section 7(C) (such shares to which Holder is entitled referred to as the “Undelivered Shares”); and (y) the Holder (whether directly or indirectly, including by any broker acting on the Holder’s behalf or acting with respect to such Undelivered Shares) purchases any shares of Common Stock (whether in the open market or otherwise) to cover any such Undelivered Shares (whether to satisfy any settlement obligations with respect thereto of the Holder or otherwise), then, without limiting the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedy available to it (whether hereunder, under applicable law or otherwise), the Holder will have the right, exercisable by notice to the Company, to cause the Company to either:

(1)pay, on or before the second (2nd) Business Day after the date such notice is delivered, cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price (including any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket costs) incurred to purchase such shares (such aggregate purchase price, the “Covering Price”); or

(2)promptly deliver, to the Holder, such Undelivered Shares in accordance with this Note, together with cash in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Covering Price over the product of (x) the number of such Undelivered Shares; and (y) the Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock on the applicable Stock Payment Determination Date relating to such conversion.

To exercise such right, the Holder must deliver notice of such exercise to the Company, specifying whether the Holder has elected clause (1) or (2) above to

30

apply. If the Holder has elected clause (1) to apply, then the Company’s obligation to deliver the Undelivered Shares in accordance with this Note will be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged to the extent the Company has paid the Covering Price in accordance with clause (1). Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof. In addition to the foregoing, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver Common Stock to the Holder by the applicable Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of shares Undelivered Shares (based on the Event of Default Stock Payment Price on the applicable Event of Default Stock Payment Delivery Date), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until the cash amount set forth in Section 7(D)(v)(1) is paid to the Holder or the shares of Common Stock are delivered to the Holder pursuant to Section 7(D)(v)(2).

(iv) Effect of Conversion. If this Note is converted in full, then, from and after the date the Conversion Consideration therefor is issued or delivered in settlement of such conversion, this Note will cease to be outstanding and all interest will cease to accrue on this Note.

(E)Common Stock Issued upon Conversion.

(i)Status of Conversion Shares; Listing. Each share of Common Stock delivered pursuant to this Notewill be a newly issued or treasury share and will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any Lien or adverse claim (except to the extent of any Lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of the Holder or the Person to whom such share will be delivered). If the Common Stock is then listed on any securities exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system, then the Company will cause each share of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Note, when delivered, to be admitted for listing on such exchange or quotation on such system. Any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Notewill be issued in the form of book-entries at the facilities of DTC, identified therein by an “unrestricted” CUSIP number.

(ii) Transferability of Conversion Shares. Any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note will be issued in the form of book-entries at the facilities of DTC, identified therein by an “unrestricted” CUSIP number.

(F) Forced Conversion.

(i)Generally. Subject to the limitations on conversion contained in Section 7(J), the Company may elect to convert all of the then outstanding Principal Amount of this Note or any portion thereof, beginning on the Trading Day after the one hundred eightieth (180th) day following the Issue Date, if the Market Price of the Company’s Common Stock has been no less than one hundred forty percent (140%) of the Conversion Price on the Issue Date (subject to any subsequent stock splits or reverse stock splits) for the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of such conversion (the date of such conversion being the “Forced Conversion Date”); provided, that the Company must provide written notice to the Holder of such election (of which email notice shall be sufficient) (such notice, the “Forced Conversion Notice”) at

31

least ten (10) days prior to such Forced Conversion Date electing to convert the entire Principal Amount of this Note (or applicable portion thereof) into Conversion Consideration; provided, further,that the Company must have, on or prior to 9:00 am, New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such Forced Conversion Notice, publicly disclosed any material, non-public information regarding the Company (including the fact that the Company is forcing conversion of the Note) on a Form 8-K; provided, however, that no Forced Conversion will be effected if (x) any Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder that has not been waived by the Required Holders or (y) any event or circumstance has occurred and is continuing which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could constitute an Event of Default and has not been waived by the Required Holders. A Forced Conversion made pursuant to this Section 7(F) shall be no greater than the portion of the Principal Amount which, if converted into Common Stock at the Conversion Price, results in a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate volume (as reported on Bloomberg) traded in the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (or of the principal, in terms of volume, Eligible Exchange on which the Common Stock is listed for trading) during market trading hours (the “Share Trading Volume”) during the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding such Forced Conversion Date less (y) the cumulative number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock converted by the Holder pursuant to Section 7 during the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding such Forced Conversion Date. In the event there are additional notes outstanding issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company may not make a Forced Conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 7(F) while any such additional notes are outstanding that have an earlier issue date than this Note.

(ii)Effect of Forced Conversion. A Forced Conversion will have the same effect as a conversion of the entire Principal Amount of this Note (or applicable portion thereof) effected at the Holder’s election pursuant to Section 7(A)(i) with a Conversion Date occurring on the Forced Conversion Date (for the avoidance of doubt, without the need for the Holder to deliver a conversion notice); provided, however, that the Company will not be obligated to deliver the Conversion Consideration until the Holder has complied, if applicable, with its obligations under Section 7(C)(iii).

(iii)Equity Conditions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will not have the right to, and will not, make any Forced Conversion pursuant to this Section 7(F) if the Company Redemption Equity Conditions are not satisfied as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the Forced Conversion Date (and the Company shall certify in writing to the Holder on the Forced Conversion Date that the Company Redemption Equity Conditions have been satisfied as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the Forced Conversion Date),unless such failure of the Company Redemption Equity Conditions to be so satisfied is waived in writing by the Holder, which waiver may be granted or withheld by the Holder in its sole discretion.

(G) Adjustments to the Conversion Rate.

(i)Events Requiring an Adjustment to the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate will be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(1)Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 7(I) will apply), then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

32

where:

CR0    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately before the Open of Business on the effective date of such stock split or stock combination, as applicable;

CR1    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or the Open of Business on such effective date, as applicable;

OS0    =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination; and

OS1    =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination.

If any dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination of the type described in this Section 7(G)(i)(1) is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Rate will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination not been declared or announced.

(2)Rights, Options and Warrants. If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which the provisions set forth in Section 7(G)(vi) will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the record date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

33

CR0    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR1    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

OS    =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

X    =    the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

Y    =    a number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants by (y) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced.

To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, option or warrants. To the extent such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution of such rights, options or warrants not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 7(G)(i)(2), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date the distribution of such rights, options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.

(3)Spin-Offs and Other Distributed Property.

(a)Distributions Other than Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock of the Company or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:

(v)    dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(1) or Section 7(G)(i)(2);

34

(w)    dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(4);

(x)    rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, except to the extent provided in Section 7(G)(vi);

(y)    Spin-Offs for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(3)(b); and

(z)    a distribution solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 7(I) will apply,

then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

CR0    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR1    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

SP    =    the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and

FMV    =    the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith), as of such Ex-Dividend Date, of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants distributed per share of Common Stock pursuant to such distribution;

provided, however, that if FMV is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, the Holder will receive, for each $1,000 Principal Amount of this Note held by this Holder on the record date for such distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.

35

To the extent such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(b)Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes or dividends shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to an Affiliate, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 7(I) will apply), and such Capital Stock or equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

CR0    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off;

CR1    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

FMV    =    the product of (x) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share or unit of the Capital Stock or equity interests distributed in such Spin-Off over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Spin-Off Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, such Ex-Dividend Date (such average to be determined as if references to Common Stock in the definitions of Last Reported Sale Price, Trading Day and Market Disruption Event were instead references to such Capital Stock or equity interests); and (y) the number of shares or units of such Capital Stock or equity interests distributed per share of Common Stock in such Spin-Off; and

SP    =    the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for each Trading Day in the Spin-Off Valuation Period.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 7(G)(i)(3)(b) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off, with retroactive effect. If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Company will, if

36

necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period.

To the extent any dividend or distribution of the type set forth in this Section 7(G)(i)(3)(b) is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(4) Cash Dividends or Distributions. If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

CR0    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

CR1    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

SP    =    the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and

D    =    the cash amount distributed per share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution;

provided, however, that if D is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, the Holder will receive, for each $1,000 Principal Amount of this Note held by the Holder on the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.

To the extent such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(5) Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act), and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors in good faith) of the cash and other consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per share of

37

Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

CR0    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires;

CR1    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Expiration Time;

AC    =    the aggregate value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors in good faith) of all cash and other consideration paid for shares of Common Stock purchased or exchanged in such tender or exchange offer;

OS0    =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Expiration Time (including all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

OS1    =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (excluding all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

SP    =    the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date;

provided, however, that the Conversion Rate will in no event be adjusted down pursuant to this Section 7(G)(i)(5), except to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph. The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 7(G)(i)(5) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Expiration Time, with retroactive effect. If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date occurs on the Expiration Date or during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period.

To the extent such tender or exchange offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of the Company being precluded from consummating such tender or exchange offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of

38

shares of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer are rescinded, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such tender or exchange offer.

(6) Degressive Issuances. Subject to Section 7(G)(ii), if, on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries grants issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell), or in accordance with this Section 7(G)(i)(6) is deemed to have granted, issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company) for a consideration per share (the “Effective Price”) less than a price equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such granting, issuance or sale or deemed granting issuance or sale (such Conversion Price then in effect is referred to herein as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Degressive Issuance”), then, effective as of the Close of Business on such date, the Conversion Rate will be increased to an amount equal to (x) one thousand dollars ($1,000) divided by (y) the Weighted Average Issuance Price. For these purposes, the “Weighted Average Issuance Price” will be equal to:

where:

CP        =    the Conversion Price in effect immediately before giving effect to the adjustment required by this Section 7(G)(i)(6);

OS        =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Degressive Issuance;

EP        =    the Effective Price per share of Common Stock in such Degressive Issuance; and

X           =    the sum, without duplication, of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock issued or sold in such Degressive Issuance; and (y) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Convertible Securities issued or sold in such Degressive Issuance.

For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Conversion Rate and the Effective Price under this Section 7(G)(i)(6)), the following shall be applicable:

(a) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants, issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell) any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been

39

issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 7(G)(i)(6)(a), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting, issuance or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option for which one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting, issuance or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or otherwise pursuant to the terms of or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(b) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to issue or sell) any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale (or the time of execution of such agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 7(G)(i)(6)(b), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale (or pursuant to the agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Convertible Security for which one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale (or the agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion,

40

exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, and if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which an adjustment of the Conversion Rate has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 7(G)(i)(6), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale. For purposes of this Section 7(G)(i)(6), any re-pricing or amendment of any Convertible Securities (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Convertible Securities existing as of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement) will be deemed to be the issuance of additional Convertible Securities, without affecting any prior adjustments theretofore made to the Conversion Rate.

(c)Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time (other than proportional changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to in Section 7(G)(i)(6)(a)), the Conversion Rate in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Conversion Rate which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 7(G)(i)(6)(c), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(G)(i)(6)(c) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Rate then in effect.

(d)Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (as determined by the Holder, the “Primary Security”, and such Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right, the “Secondary Securities” and together with the Primary Security, each a “Unit”), together comprising one integrated transaction, the aggregate consideration per share of Common Stock with respect to such Primary Security shall be deemed to be the lower of (x) the purchase price of such Unit, (y) if such Primary Security is an Option and/or Convertible Security, the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Primary Security in accordance with Section 7(G)(i)(6)(a) or Section 7(G)(i)(6)(b) above and (z) the lowest Daily VWAP of the shares of Common Stock on any Trading Day during the four (4) Trading Day period (the “Adjustment Period”) immediately following the public announcement of such Degressive Issuance (for the avoidance of doubt, if such public announcement is released prior to the opening of the Nasdaq Capital

Market (or of any principal, in terms of volume, Eligible Exchange on which the Common Stock is listed for trading) on a Trading Day, such Trading Day shall be the first Trading Day in such four (4) Trading Day period and if this Note is converted, on any given Conversion Date during any such Adjustment Period, solely with respect to such portion of this Note converted on such applicable Conversion Date, such applicable Adjustment Period shall be deemed to have ended on, and included, the Trading Day immediately prior to such Conversion Date). If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 7(G)(i)(6) solely as a result of an Exempt Issuance; (2) in no event will the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 7(G)(i)(6); and (3) the Company will not effect any Degressive Issuance that would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 7(G)(i)(6) that requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to the listing standards of the Company’s primary Eligible Exchange (measured in terms of trading volume for its Common Stock) on which the Common Stock is traded, unless the Company has obtained such stockholder approval before such Degressive Issuance.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Conversion Rate (as adjusted by this Section 7(G)(i)(6))shall be less than the Conversion Rate (as adjusted by Section 7(G)(ii)), the Conversion Rate (as adjusted by Section 7(G)(ii)) shall be deemed to apply.

(ii)Adjustments to the Conversion Rate in Connection with Certain Equity Issuances.

(1)Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. If at any time on or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days following the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company grants issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell), or in accordance with this Section 7(G)(ii) is deemed to have granted, issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company) (the

42

foregoing a “PotentiallyDilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Potentially Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Rate will be changed to an amount equal to (x) $1,000 divided by (y) the arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs of such Common Stock for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately following the date of public disclosure (which for the avoidance of doubt shall include within such five (5) Trading Days the date of any such public disclosure thereof if such public disclosure occurs prior to the opening of market trading hours for any Eligible Exchange) of any granting, issuance or sale or deemed granting issuance or sale; provided, that if such amount is less than the Conversion Rate prior to such adjustment, the Conversion Rate shall not be changed. For all purposes of the foregoing, the following shall be applicable:

(a)Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants, issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell) any Options then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or otherwise pursuant to the terms of or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(b)Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to issue or sell) any Convertible Securities, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale (or the time of execution of such agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof.

(2)Other Events. In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7(G)(ii) but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Rate so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(G)(ii)(2) will decrease the Conversion Rate as otherwise determined pursuant to this Note; provided, further that if the Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then the Company’s Board of Directors and the Holder shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company.

(3)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Conversion Rate (as adjusted by this Section 7(G)(ii))shall be less than the Conversion Rate (as adjusted by Section 7(G)(i)(6)), the Conversion Rate (as adjusted by Section 7(G)(i)(6)) shall be deemed to apply.

43

(iii)No Adjustments in Certain Cases.

(1)Where the Holder Participates in the Transaction or Event Without Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7(G)(i), the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of a transaction or other event otherwise requiring an adjustment pursuant to Section 7(G)(i) (other than a stock split or combination of the type set forth in Section 7(G)(i)(1) or a tender or exchange offer of the type set forth in Section 7(G)(i)(5)) if the Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and solely by virtue of being the Holder of this Note, in such transaction or event without having to convert this Note and as if the Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on the related record date; and (ii) the aggregate Principal Amount (expressed in thousands) of this Note held by this Holder on such date.

(2)Certain Events. The Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate except as provided in Section 7(G) and Section 7(I). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of:

(a)except as otherwise provided in Section 7(G), the sale of shares of Common Stock for a purchase price that is less than the market price per share of Common Stock or less than the Conversion Price;

(b)the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any such plan;

(c)the issuance of any shares of Common Stock, restricted stock or options or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of, or assumed by, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(d)the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or convertible or exchangeable security of the Company outstanding as of the Issue Date (other than an adjustment pursuant to Section 7(G)(vi) in connection with the separation of rights under the Company’s stockholder rights plan existing, if any, as of the Issue Date);

(e)repurchases of Common Stock, including structured or derivative transactions, that are not pursuant to a tender offer as contemplated by Section 7(G)(i)(5);

(f)solely a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

(g)accrued and unpaid interest on this Note.

(iv) Adjustments Not Yet Effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, if:

(1)this Note is to be converted;

44

(2)the record date, effective date or Expiration Time for any event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(G)(i) has occurred on or before the Conversion Date for such conversion, but an adjustment to the Conversion Rate for such event has not yet become effective as of such Conversion Date;

(3)the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Common Stock; and

(4)such shares are not entitled to participate in such event (because they were not held on the related record date or otherwise),

then, solely for purposes of such conversion, the Company will, without duplication, give effect to such adjustment on such Conversion Date. In such case, if the date on which the Company is otherwise required to deliver the consideration due upon such conversion is before the first date on which the amount of such adjustment can be determined, then the Company will delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after such first date.

(v) Conversion Rate Adjustments where the Converting Holder Participates in the Relevant Transaction or Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, if:

(1)a Conversion Rate adjustment for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date pursuant to Section 7(G)(i);

(2)a Note is to be converted;

(3)the Conversion Date for such conversion occurs on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related record date;

(4)the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Common Stock based on a Conversion Rate that is adjusted for such dividend or distribution; and

(5)such shares would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution (including pursuant to Section 7(C)(ii)),

then (x) such Conversion Rate adjustment will not be given effect for such conversion; (y) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion based on such unadjusted Conversion Rate will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution; and (z) there will be added, to the Conversion Consideration otherwise due upon such conversion, the same kind and amount of consideration that would have been delivered in such dividend or distribution with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares been entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.

(vi) Stockholder Rights Plans. If any shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of any Note and, at the time of such conversion, the Company has in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder of such Note will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the Conversion Consideration otherwise payable under this Note upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such stockholder rights plan, unless such rights have separated from the Common Stock at such time, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(3)(a) on account of such separation as if, at the time of such separation, the Company had made a distribution of the type referred to in such Section to all holders of the Common Stock, subject to readjustment in accordance with such Section if such rights expire, terminate or are redeemed.

45

(vii) Limitation on Effecting Transactions Resulting in Certain Adjustments. The Company will not engage in or be a party to any transaction or event that would require the Conversion Rate to be adjusted pursuant to Section 7(G)(i) or Section 7(I) to an amount that would result in the Conversion Price per share of Common Stock being less than the par value per share of Common Stock.

(viii) Equitable Adjustments to Prices. Whenever any provision of this Note requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate an adjustment to the Conversion Rate), the Company will make proportionate adjustments, if any, to such calculations to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(G)(i) that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period.

(ix) Calculation of Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 7(G), the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time will (i) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock; and (ii) exclude shares of Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury (unless the Company pays any dividend or makes any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in its treasury).

(x) Calculations. All calculations with respect to the Conversion Rate and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward).

(xi) Notice of Conversion Rate Adjustments. Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(G)(i), the Company will promptly send notice to the Holder containing (i) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (iii) the effective time of such adjustment.

(H) Voluntary Adjustments.

(i)Generally. To the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules, the Company, from time to time, may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate by any amount if (i) the Board of Directors determines in good faith that such increase is either (x) in the best interest of the Company; or (y) advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax imposed on holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock as a result of any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) of Common Stock or any similar event and (ii) such increase is irrevocable. The Company and the Holder agree that any such voluntary adjustment to the Conversion Rate and any conversion of any portion of the Note based upon any such voluntary adjustment shall not constitute material non-public information with respect to the Company.

(ii) Notice of Voluntary Increases. If the Board of Directors determines to increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(H)(i), then, no later than the first Business Day following such determination, the Company will send notice to the Holder of such increase, the amount thereof and the period during which such increase will be in effect.

(I) Effect of Certain Recapitalizations, Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers and Sales.

(i)Generally. If there occurs:

46

(1) recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value and (z) stock splits and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities);

(2) consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Company;

(3) sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person; or

     (4) other similar event,

and, in each case, as a result of such occurrence, the Common Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities or other property (including cash or any combination of the foregoing) (such an event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such other securities or other property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Stock Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue fractional shares of securities or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, at the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, (x) the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of any Note will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this Section 7 (or in any related definitions) were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; (y) for purposes of Section 7(A), each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in such Section (or in any related definitions) will instead be deemed to be a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; and (z) for purposes of the definition of “Fundamental Change,” the term “Common Stock” and “common equity” will be deemed to mean the common equity, if any, forming part of such Reference Property. For these purposes, (I) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that consists of a class of common equity securities will be determined by reference to the definition of “Daily VWAP,” substituting, if applicable, the Bloomberg page for such class of securities in such definition; and (II) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of common equity securities, and the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities, will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).

If the Reference Property consists of more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, then the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per share of Common Stock, by the holders of Common Stock. The Company will notify the Holder of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

At or before the effective date of such Common Stock Change Event, the Company and the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) of such Common Stock Change Event (the “Successor Person”) will execute and deliver such instruments or agreements that (x) provides for subsequent conversions of this Note in the manner set forth in this Section 7(I); (y) provides for subsequent adjustments to the Conversion Rate

47

pursuant to Section 7(G) and Section 7(H) in a manner consistent with this Section 7(I); and (z) contains such other provisions as the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holder and to give effect to the provisions of this Section 7(I). If the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets of a Person other than the Successor Person, then such other Person will also execute such instruments or agreements and such instruments or agreements will contain such additional provisions the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holder.

(ii)Notice of Common Stock Change Events. As soon as practicable after learning the anticipated or actual effective date of any Common Stock Change Event, the Company will provide written notice to the Holder of such Common Stock Change Event, including a brief description of such Common Stock Change Event, its anticipated effective date and a brief description of the anticipated change in the conversion right of this Note.

(iii)Compliance Covenant. The Company will not become a party to any Common Stock Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 7(I).

(J) Limitations on Conversions.

(i)Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of this Note, or otherwise issue shares pursuant to this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note and any such conversion or issuance shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or issuance, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in the aggregate in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or issuance. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of, or otherwise pursuant to, this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 7(J)(i). For purposes of this Section 7(J)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Note, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire in connection with this Note without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives a notice from the Holder related to the conversion of this Note or any issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection with this Note at a time when the actual number of

48

outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such conversion or issuance of shares of Common Stock would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 7(J)(i), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion of, or otherwise pursuant to, this Note results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder's and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any Other Holder of Notes that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to convert this Note or receive shares pursuant to this Note pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 7(J)(i) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 7(J)(i) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

(ii)Stock Exchange Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, until the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained, in no event will the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or otherwise pursuant to this Note, together with all other shares, if any theretofore issued upon conversion or otherwise pursuant to this Note, including (for the avoidance of doubt) any portion constituting a payment of Stated Interest or an Amortization Payment, exceed the limit contemplated by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (or such similar rule of the principal, in terms of volume, Eligible Exchange on which the Common Stock is listed for trading), which for the avoidance of doubt, is equal to [insert # representing one share less than 20% of the outstanding shares] shares in the aggregate (based on [l] shares outstanding as of [l], 202[l]). If any one or more shares of Common Stock are not delivered as a result of the operation of the preceding sentence (such shares, the “Withheld Shares”), then (1) on the date such shares of Common Stock are issuable hereunder (after giving effect to any

49

limitations imposed under Section 7(J)(i)), the Company will pay to the Holder, in addition to the Conversion Consideration otherwise due upon such conversion or shares otherwise due to the Holder hereunder, cash in an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of such Withheld Shares; and (y) the Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock on the applicable Stock Payment Determination Date; and (2) to the extent the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in settlement of a sale by the Holder of such Withheld Shares, the Company will reimburse the Holder for (x) any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection with such purchases and (y) the excess, if any, of (A) the aggregate purchase price of such purchases over (B) the product of (I) the number of such Withheld Shares purchased by the Holder; and (II) the Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock on the applicable Stock Payment Determination Date.

Section 8.Redemption of this Note.

(A)Company Redemption Election.

(i)Redemption Option 1. The Company may redeem all of the then outstanding Principal Amount of this Note or any portion thereof (a “Company Redemption”), beginning on the one hundred eightieth (180th) day following the Issue Date, on a date to be determined by the Company (any such date a “Company Redemption Option 1 Date”), for a cash redemption price equal to the Company Redemption Option 1 Price; provided, that such redemption pursuant to this Section 8(A)(i) may only be elected if the Market Price of the Company’s Common Stock has been no less than one hundred forty percent (140%) of the Conversion Price on the Issue Date (subject to any subsequent stock splits or reverse stock splits) for the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the Company Redemption Option 1 Date (the “Market Price Redemption Conditions”); provided further, that the Company must provide notice of a Company Redemption Option 1 Date (“Redemption Option 1 Notice”) at least ten (10) days prior to such Company Redemption Option 1 Date and the Company must have, on or prior to 9:00 am, New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding such notice delivery date, publicly disclosed any material, non-public information regarding the Company (including the fact that the Company is redeeming the Note) on a Form 8-K or otherwise; provided, however, that this Section 8(A)(i) will cease to have any force and effect if (i) any Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder that has not been waived by the Required Holders or (ii) any event or circumstance has occurred and is continuing which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could constitute an Event of Default and has not been waived by the Required Holders. A Company Redemption made pursuant to this Section 8(A)(i) shall be no greater than the portion of the Principal Amount which, if converted into Common Stock at the Conversion Price, results in a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (1) twenty percent (20%) of the Share Trading Volume during the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding such Company Redemption Option 1 Date less (2) the cumulative number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock converted by the Holder pursuant to Section 7 during the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding such Company Redemption Option 1 Date.In the event there are additional notes outstanding issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company may not make a Company Redemption for this Note pursuant to this Section 8(A)(i) while any such additional notes are outstanding that have an earlier issue date than this Note.

(ii)Redemption Option 2. At any time following the Issue Date, the Company may conduct a Company Redemption on a date to be determined by the Company (any such date a “Company Redemption Option 2 Date”), for a cash redemption price equal to the Company Redemption Option 2 Price; provided, that the

50

Company must provide notice (“Redemption Option 2 Notice”) thereof at least ten (10) days prior to such Company Redemption Option 2 Date and the Company must have, on or prior to 9:00 am, New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding such notice delivery date, publicly disclosed any material, non-public information regarding the Company (including the fact that the Company is redeeming the Note) on a Form 8-K or otherwise; provided, however, that this Section 8(A)(ii) will cease to have any force and effect if (i) any Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder that has not been waived by the Required Holders or (ii) any event or circumstance has occurred and is continuing which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could constitute an Event of Default and has not been waived by the Required Holders.

(iii)Effect of Company Redemption. If this Note is to be redeemed in full pursuant to this Section 8(A), then, from and after the date the related Company Redemption Option 1 Price or Company Redemption Option 2 Price, as applicable, is paid in full, this Note will cease to be outstanding.

(iv)Equity Conditions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will not have the right to, and will not, make any Company Redemption pursuant to this Section 8(A) if the Company Redemption Equity Conditions are not satisfied for each VWAP Trading Day during the twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on, and including the Trading Day immediately prior to the Company Redemption Date (such period, the “Company Redemption Equity Conditions Period”) (and the Company shall certify in writing to the Holder (i) on the date of the Redemption Notice, within such notice, that the Company Redemption Equity Conditions have continued to have been satisfied during such portion of the Company Redemption Equity Conditions Period leading up to and including the date of the Redemption Notice and (ii) on the Company Redemption Date that the Company Redemption Equity Conditions have continued to have been satisfied for the remainder of the Company Redemption Equity Conditions Period),unless such failure of the Company Redemption Equity Conditions to be so satisfied is waived in writing by the Holder, which waiver may be granted or withheld by the Holder in its sole discretion.

(B)Holder Redemption Election.

(i)Clinical Development Cessation Redemption Election. If (1) the Company ceases clinical development of the SBS Asset (the “Clinical Development Cessation”) and (2) for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days, the Company’s Total Market Capitalization is less than one hundred million dollars ($100 million) (the “Clinical Development Cessation Trigger”), then (A) the Company shall, on the Trading Day on which the Clinical Development Cessation Trigger occurs, deliver to the Holder written notice thereof (a “Clinical Development Cessation Trigger Notice”) and (B) the Holder may at any time after the Clinical Development Cessation Trigger, elect to require the Company to redeem the outstanding Principal Amount at the Clinical Development Cessation Redemption Price(the “Clinical Development Cessation Redemption Amount”) by delivering to the Company written notice of such redemption (a “Clinical Development CessationOptional Redemption Notice”). On or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of delivery of any Clinical Development Cessation Optional Redemption Notice (the “Clinical Development Cessation Optional Redemption Date”), the Company shall pay the Holder in cash the Clinical Development Cessation Redemption Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company ceases clinical development of the SBS Asset at any time, the Company shall, on the Trading Day on which the Clinical Development Cessation occurs, deliver to the Holder written notice thereof (a “Clinical Development Cessation Notice”).

51

(ii)Registration Statement Redemption Election. If (1) a Resale Registration Statement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) has not been declared effective by the Commission following its review thereof on or before the date that is six (6) months after the Issue Date or (2) at any time following the filing of such Resale Registration Statement, such Resale Registration Statement is withdrawn (each, a “Registration Statement Redemption Trigger”), then (A) the Company shall, on the Trading Day on which such Registration Statement Redemption Trigger occurs, deliver to the Holder written notice thereof (a “Registration Statement Redemption Notice”) and (B) the Holder may at any time after the Registration Statement Redemption Trigger, elect to require the Company to redeem the outstanding Principal Amount at the Registration Statement Redemption Price(the “Registration Statement Redemption Amount”) by delivering to the Company written notice of such redemption. On or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of delivery of any Registration Statement Redemption Notice, the Company shall pay the Holder in cash the Registration Statement Redemption Amount.

Section 9.Affirmative and Negative Covenants.

(A)Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. To the extent that it may lawfully do so, the Company (A) agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law (wherever or whenever enacted or in force) that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note; and (B) expressly waives all benefits or advantages of any such law and agrees that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Holder by this Note, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

(B)Corporate Existence. Subject to Section 10, the Company will cause to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

(i)its corporate existence and the corporate existence of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the organizational documents of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable; and

(ii)the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries;

provided, however, that the Company need not preserve or keep in full force and effect any such rights (charter and statutory), license or franchise or existence of any of its Subsidiaries if the Board of Directors determines in good faith that (x) the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and (y) the loss thereof is not, individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse to the Holder.

(C) Ranking. All payments due under this Note (i) shall rank pari passu with all Other Notes and (ii) shall rank senior to all other indebtedness of the Company (other than the indebtedness described in clause (i)) and any Subordinated Indebtedness.

(D) Indebtedness; Amendments to Indebtedness. The Company shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to: (a) create, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable with respect to any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness; (b) prepay any Indebtedness except for (i) by the conversion of Indebtedness into equity securities (other than Disqualified Stock) and the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares in connection with such conversion, and (ii) a refinancing of the entire amount of such Indebtedness which does not impose materially more burdensome terms upon the Company or its Subsidiaries than exist in such Indebtedness prior to

52

such refinancing, and which shall not have a maturity date, amortization payment, sinking fund, put right, mandatory redemption or other repurchase obligation at the option of the lender or holder of such indebtedness, or be prepayable at the option of the Company, in any case earlier than one hundred eighty-one (181) days following the Maturity Date; or (c) amend or modify any documents or notes evidencing any Indebtedness in any manner which shortens the maturity date or any amortization, redemption or interest payment date thereof or otherwise imposes materially more burdensome terms upon the Company or its Subsidiaries than exist in such Indebtedness prior to such amendment or modification without the prior written consent of Holder. The Company shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to incur any Indebtedness that would cause a breach or Default under the Notes or prohibit or restrict the performance of any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations under the Notes, including without limitation, the payment of interest and principal thereon.

(E) Liens. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

(F) Investments. The Company shall not directly or indirectly acquire or own, or make any Investment in or to any Person, or permit any of its Subsidiaries so to do, other than Permitted Investments; provided that the Company may not make any Investment (including a Permitted Investment) or permit any of its Subsidiaries to make any Investment (including a Permitted Investment) if (i) any Event of Default has occurred hereunder or (ii) any event or circumstance has occurred and is continuing which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could constitute an Event of Default with respect to Section 11(A)(ii), Section 11(A)(iv), Section 11(A)(vi), Section 11(A)(x), Section 11(A)(xii), Section 11(A)(xv) or Section 11(A)(xvi).

(G) Distributions. The Company shall not, and shall not allow any Subsidiary to, (a) repurchase or redeem any class of stock or other Equity Interest other than pursuant to employee, director or consultant repurchase plans or other similar agreements provided under plans approved by the Board of Directors; provided, however, in each case the repurchase or redemption price does not exceed the original consideration paid for such stock or Equity Interest, or (b) declare or pay any cash dividend or make a cash distribution on any class of stock or other Equity Interest, except that a Subsidiary of the Company may pay dividends or make distributions to the Company or a parent company that is a direct or indirect Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company, or (c) lend money to any employees, officers or directors (except as permitted under clause (F) of the definition of Permitted Investment), or guarantee the payment of any such loans granted by a third party in excess of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate or (d) waive, release or forgive any Indebtedness owed by any employees, officers or directors in excess of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. If there are dividends or distributions made by the Company or any Subsidiary, within one (1) Business Day following the date on which the Company files an Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Commission, the Company will provide the Holder with a written notice setting forth the aggregate amount of dividends or distributions made by the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to this Section 9(G) for the period covered by such Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not, and shall not allow any Subsidiary to, declare or pay any cash dividend or make a cash distribution on any class of stock or other Equity Interest if (A) any Event of Default has occurred hereunder and has not been waived by the Required Holders or (B) any event or circumstance has occurred and is continuing which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could constitute an Event of Default with respect to Section 11(A)(ii), Section 11(A)(iv), Section 11(A)(vi), Section 11(A)(x), Section 11(A)(xii), Section 11(A)(xv) or Section 11(A)(xvi).

(H) Transfers. The Company shall not, and shall not allow any Subsidiary to, voluntarily or involuntarily transfer, sell, lease, license, lend or in any other manner convey any equitable, beneficial

53

or legal interest in any material portion of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole), except for Permitted Transfers and Permitted Investments.

(I) Taxes. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall pay when due all taxes, fees or other charges of any nature whatsoever (together with any related interest or penalties) now or hereafter imposed or assessed against the Company and its Subsidiaries or their respective assets or upon their ownership, possession, use, operation or disposition thereof or upon their rents, receipts or earnings arising therefrom. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall file on or before the due date therefor all personal property tax returns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries may contest, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, taxes for which they maintain adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP.

(J) Minimum Liquidity.

(i)Except as otherwise provided in Section 9(J)(ii), the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have at all times liquidity calculated as unrestricted, unencumbered Cash and Cash Equivalents in one or more deposit accounts (the “Control Accounts”) located in the United States and subject to a Control Agreement (as defined in the Security Agreements) entered into in favor of the Collateral Agent in a minimum amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the sum of (i) the outstanding Principal Amount and (ii) the principal amount of any other outstanding notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Total Outstanding Notes Principal Amount”); provided, that such Control Agreements shall be “holder directed” Control Agreements that do not provide the Company or its Subsidiaries access to the amounts in any such Controlled Accounts and only permit funds to be released from such Controlled Accounts upon the direction of the Collateral Agent (the “Minimum Liquidity Requirement”).

(ii)Upon fulfillment of the Subsequent Financing Requirement, for as long as the Company’s Total Market Capitalization is in a minimum amount equal to one hundred fifty million dollars ($150 million), the Minimum Liquidity Requirement shall be reduced to a minimum amount equal to the greater of (i) (x) the Total Outstanding Notes Principal Amount less (y) seven and a half percent (7.5%) of the Company’s Total Market Capitalization and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the Total Outstanding Notes Principal Amount.

(iii)On or prior to the first (1st) calendar day of each month, the Company shall provide to the Holder a certification, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, executed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, certifying whether or not the Company has satisfied the requirements of Section 9(J)(i) (or Section 9(J)(ii), as applicable) and Section 9(G) during the immediately preceding calendar month. If the Company determines in its sole discretion that such information constitutes material non-public information, then the Company will so indicate in the certification provided pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Company will concurrently disclose such material non-public information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise.

(iv)Upon receipt of a written certification executed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company demonstrating to the Holder’s reasonable satisfaction that the amount of the unrestricted, unencumbered Cash and Cash Equivalents then on deposit and subject to the Control Accounts exceeds the then applicable Minimum Liquidity Requirement, the Collateral Agent shall direct the release of such excess funds from the Control Accounts within two business days; provided, however, that this Section 9(J)(iv) will cease to have any force and effect if (i) any Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder that has not been waived by the Required Holders or (ii)

54

any event or circumstance has occurred and is continuing which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could constitute an Event of Default and has not been waived by the Required Holders.

(K) Change in Nature of Business. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, engage in any material line of business substantially different from those lines of business conducted by or publicly contemplated to be conducted by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries on the Issue Date or any business substantially related or incidental thereto. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, modify its or their corporate structure or purpose.

(L) Maintenance of Properties, Etc. The Company shall maintain and preserve, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain and preserve, all of its properties which are necessary or useful (as determined by the Company in good faith) to the conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and comply at all times in all material respects with the provisions of all leases to which it is a party as lessee or under which it occupies property, so as to prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder.

(M) Maintenance of Intellectual Property. The Company will take, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to take, all actions necessary or advisable to maintain and preserve all of the Intellectual Property Rights (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) of the Company or such Subsidiary that are necessary or material (as determined by the Company in good faith) to the conduct of its business in full force and effect.

(N) Maintenance of Insurance. The Company shall maintain, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, insurance with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations (including, without limitation, comprehensive general liability, hazard, rent and business interruption insurance) with respect to its properties (including all real properties leased or owned by it) and business, in such amounts and covering such risks as is required by any governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto or as is carried generally in accordance with sound business practice by companies in similar businesses similarly situated.

(O) Transactions with Affiliates. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, shall enter into, renew, extend or be a party to, any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease, transfer or exchange of property or assets of any kind or the rendering of services of any kind) with any affiliate (other than the Company or any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries), except transactions for fair consideration and on terms no less favorable to it than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an affiliate thereof.

(P) Restricted Issuances. The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, (i) issue any Notes (other than as contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Notes) or (ii) issue any other securities or incur any Indebtedness, in each case, that would cause a breach or Default under the Notes or that by its terms would prohibit or restrict the performance of any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations under the Notes, including without limitation, the payment of interest and principal thereon.

(Q) Share Reserve. So long as this Note remains outstanding, the Company shall at all times have no less than a number of shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock reserved for any issuance equal to the greater of (i) one hundred percent (100%) of a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the then outstanding Total Outstanding Notes Principal Amount plus an amount equal to all interest accruable on such then outstanding Total Outstanding Notes Principal Amount through the Maturity Date, and the denominator of which shall be the Market Stock Payment Price and (ii) two

55

hundred percent (200%) of a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the then outstanding Total Outstanding Notes Principal Amount plus an amount equal to all interest accruable on such then outstanding Total Outstanding Notes Principal Amount through the Maturity Date, and the denominator of which shall be the Conversion Price of the Initial Purchased Notes (the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 9(Q) be reduced other than in connection with any stock combination, reverse stock split or other similar transaction. If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain stockholder approval (if required) of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the management shares of the Company in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount.

(R) Independent Investigation. At the request of the Required Holders at any time the Required Holders have determined in good faith that (i) an Event of Default has occurred or (ii) any event or circumstance has occurred and is continuing which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could constitute an Event of Default but the Company has not timely agreed to such determination in writing, the Company shall hire an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Required Holders to investigate as to whether such Event of Default or event or circumstance has occurred (the “Independent Investigator”). If the Independent Investigator determines that such Event of Default or event or circumstance has occurred, the Independent Investigator shall notify the Company of such Event of Default or occurrence of such event or circumstance and the Company shall promptly deliver written notice to the Holder of such Event of Default if such Event of Default has occurred. In connection with such investigation, the Independent Investigator may, during normal business hours and upon signing a confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, inspect all contracts, books, records, personnel, offices and other facilities and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, to the extent available to the Company after the Company uses reasonable efforts to obtain them, the records of its accountants (including the accountants’ work papers) and any books of account, records, reports and other papers not contractually required of the Company to be confidential or secret, or subject to attorney-client or other evidentiary privilege, and the Independent Investigator may make such copies and inspections thereof as the Independent Investigator may reasonably request. The Company shall furnish the Independent Investigator with such financial and operating data and other information with respect to the business and properties of the Company as the Independent Investigator may reasonably request. The Company shall permit the Independent Investigator to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company with, and to make proposals and furnish advice with respect thereto to, any of the Company’s officers, directors, key employees and independent public accountants (and by this provision the Company authorizes said accountants to discuss with such Independent Investigator the finances and affairs of the Company and any Subsidiaries), all at such reasonable times, upon reasonable notice, and as often as may be reasonably requested.

(S) Subsequent Financing. On or before March 31, 2023, the Company shall raise at least twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) in gross proceeds from one or more Subsequent Financings.

(T) Upon delivery by the Company to the Holder (or receipt by the Company from the Holder) of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Note, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall on or prior to 9:00 am, New York City time on the Business Day immediately following such notice delivery date, publicly disclose such material, non-public information on a Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes

56

that a notice contains material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to the Holder explicitly in writing in such notice (or immediately upon receipt of notice from the Holder, as applicable), and in the absence of any such written indication in such notice (or notification from the Company immediately upon receipt of notice from the Holder), the Holder shall be entitled to presume that information contained in the notice does not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Nothing contained in this Section 9(T) shall limit any obligations of the Company, or any rights of the Holder, under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

(U) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Holder is not a fiduciary or agent of the Company, the Holder will not have any obligations hereunder except those obligations expressly set forth herein (and in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the Holder is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the Note and not as a fiduciary or agent of the Company. The Company agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Holder based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Holder in connection with the Note. The Company acknowledges that the Holder shall have no obligation to (a) maintain the confidentiality of any information provided by the Company or (b) refrain from trading any securities while in possession of such information in the absence of a written non-disclosure agreement signed by an officer of the Holder that explicitly provides for such confidentiality and trading restrictions. In the absence of such an executed, written non-disclosure agreement, the Company acknowledges that the Holder may freely trade in any securities issued by the Company, may possess and use any information provided by the Company in connection with such trading activity, and may disclose any such information to any third party.

(V) The Company shall cause this Note and any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Note to be eligible to be offered, sold or otherwise transferred by the Holder pursuant to Rule 144, without any requirements as to volume, manner of sale, availability of current public information (whether or not then satisfied) or notice under the Securities Act and without any requirement for registration under any state securities or “blue sky” law, on and after the date that is six (6) months following the Issue Date. If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall notify the Company and surrender this Note to the Company (or provide the Company an affidavit in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company that this Note was lost, stolen or destroyed), whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note, registered as the Holder may request.

(W) The Company shall pay when due any and all fees and expenses owed by it under all deposit accounts located in the United States and subject to a Control Agreement entered into in favor of the Collateral Agent.

Section 10.Successors.

The Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or (directly, or indirectly through one or more of its Subsidiaries) sell, lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person, other than the Holder or any of its Affiliates (a “Business Combination Event”), unless:

(A)the resulting, surviving or transferee Person either (x) is the Company or (y) if not the Company, is a corporation (the “Successor Corporation”) duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that expressly assumes (by executing and delivering to the Holder, at or before the effective time of such Business Combination Event, a supplement to this instrument) all of the Company’s obligations under this Note; and

57

(B)immediately after giving effect to such Business Combination Event, no Event of Default will have occurred that has not been waived and no Default will have occurred and be continuing which has not been waived.

At the effective time of any Business Combination Event, the Successor Corporation (if not the Company) will succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Note with the same effect as if such Successor Corporation had been named as the Company in this Note, and, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Company will be discharged from its obligations under this Note.

(xii)one or more final judgments, orders or awards (or any settlement of any litigation or other proceeding that, if breached, could result in a judgment, order or award) for the payment of at least two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the aggregate (excluding any amounts covered by insurance pursuant to which the insurer has been notified and has not denied coverage), is rendered against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and remains unsatisfied and (i) enforcement proceedings shall have been commenced by any creditor upon any such judgment, order, award or settlement or (ii) there shall be a period of ten (10) consecutive Trading Days after entry thereof during which (A) a stay of enforcement thereof is not in effect or (B) the same is not vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal;

(xv)any material damage to, or loss, theft or destruction of, any Collateral (provided that any damage, loss, theft or destruction of the Collateral that reduces the value of such Collateral by two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) or more shall be deemed to be material), whether or not insured, or any strike, lockout, labor dispute, embargo, condemnation, act of God or public enemy, or other casualty which causes, for more than fifteen (15) consecutive days, the cessation or substantial curtailment of revenue producing activities at any facility of the Company or any Subsidiary, if any such event or circumstance could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement). For clarity, an Event of Default under this Section 11(A)(xv) will not require any curtailment of revenue;

(3)orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; or

60

(4)grants any similar relief with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries under any foreign Bankruptcy Law,

(xix)the Company's stockholders approve any plan for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

(B) Acceleration.

(xx)Automatic Acceleration in Certain Circumstances. If an Event of Default set forth in Section 11(A)(xvii) or Section 11(A)(xviii) occurs with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company), then the then outstanding portion of the Principal Amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, this Note will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any Person.

(xxi)Optional Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default set forth in Section 11(A)(xvii) or Section 11(A)(xviii) with respect to the Company and not solely with respect to a Subsidiary of the Company) occurs and has not been waived by the Holder, then the Holder, by notice to the Company, may declare this Note (or any portion thereof) to become due and payable immediately for cash in an amount equal to the Event of Default Acceleration Amount.

Promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after an Event of Default, the Company will provide written notice of such Event of Default to the Holder (an “Event of Default Notice”), which Event of Default Notice shall include (i) a reasonable description of the applicable Event of Default, (ii) the date on which the Event of Default occurred and (iii) the date on which the Default underlying such Event of Default initially occurred, if different than the date on which the Event of Default occurred.

Section 12.Ranking.

All payments due under this Note shall rank (i) pari passu with all Other Notes, (ii) effectively senior to all unsecured indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the value of the Collateral securing the Notes for so long as the Collateral so secures the Notes in accordance with the terms hereof and (iii) senior to any Subordinated Indebtedness.

Section 13.Replacement Notes.

If the Holder of this Note claims that this Note has been mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver a replacement Note upon surrender to the Company of such mutilated Note, or upon delivery to the Company of evidence of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
