Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.

5.10 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.

5.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

5.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

5.14 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.

5.16 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

5.17 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and Common Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement.

⁽¹⁾based upon 5,996,639 Shares Outstanding as of July 31, 2017. ⁽²⁾ includes Common Shares beneficially owned by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.

On June 30, 2017, the Company issued 173,317 shares to FBC S.A.R.L. for payment of interest expense under the $24.5 million convertible note with FBC.

On July 11, 2017, the Company entered into amended and restated warrants with certain holders (the “Holders”) of warrants previously issued in March 2016 (the “Amended March 2016 Warrant”) and between December 2016 and March 2017 (the “Amended March 2017 Warrants” and together with the Amended March 2016 Warrant, the “Amended and Restated Warrants”). Pursuant to their terms, the Amended and Restated Warrants supersede and replace the previously issued warrants. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Warrants, the Company may, at its sole discretion, opt to exchange no fewer than all of the Amended and Restated Warrants for 1,617,917 common shares, as adjusted for the Company’s share consolidation effective July 11, 2017 (the “Warrant Exchange”). Between July 19, 2017 and July 26, 2017, the company issued a total of 1,617,917 shares under the Warrant Exchange.

Board Nomination Right Agreement dated July 15, 2013, between Eric L. Kelly and the Company.

Voting Agreements, each dated July 15, 2013, between Mr. Kelly and certain shareholders of the Company.

There are 12 warrants outstanding for an aggregate of 867,272 Common Shares issued in March 2017 (the “March 2017 Warrants”). If at any time while the March 2017 Warrants are outstanding, the Company sells or grants options to purchase, reprices or otherwise issues any Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares at a price less than $7.50, then the exercise price for the March 2017 Warrants will be reduced to such price, provided that the exercise price will not be lower than $0.10, and the number of Common Shares issuable under the March 2017 Warrants will be increased such that, after taking into account the decrease in the exercise price, the aggregate exercise price under the Warrants will remain the same. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain fundamental transactions, including certain mergers, sales of substantially all of our assets or those of our significant subsidiaries, and other significant corporate events, the March 2017 Warrant holders will have certain rights, including for the exchange of the March 2017 Warrants for warrants to purchase Common Shares of the successor entity and the right to have the Company purchase the warrants for their Black Scholes Value.

There is one warrant outstanding for 60,000 shares issued on December 4, 2015 at a strike price of $62.50, which has price protection in the event of a “Variable Rate Transaction.” On May 28, 2016, the exercise price was adjusted to $27.00. The Securities Purchase Agreement to which the warrant relates defines a “Variable Rate Transaction” [as] a transaction in which the Company or any Subsidiary (i) issues or sells any Convertible Securities either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the Common Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such Common Share Equivalents, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such Common Share Equivalents or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Shares, other than pursuant to a customary anti-dilution provision or (ii) enters into any agreement (including, without limitation, an equity line of credit or an “at-the-market” offering) whereby the Company or any Subsidiary may sell securities at a future determined price (other than standard and customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights).”

The predecessor entity to the Company was, at the time it became a public company, a capital pool company (CPC) regulated by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”). The Company ceased to be a CPC on December 21, 2012 by completing a reverse takeover transaction with Sphere 3D Inc., constituting its “qualifying transaction” pursuant to the policies of the TSXV and has never been again a CPC, and thereby ceased to be a “Shell Company” at the same time as it ceased to be a CPC.

On July 11, 2017, the Company entered into amended and restated warrants with certain holders (the “Holders”) of warrants previously issued in March 2016 (the “Amended March 2016 Warrant”) and between December 2016 and March 2017 (the “Amended March 2017 Warrants” and together with the Amended March 2016 Warrant, the “Amended and Restated Warrants”). Pursuant to their terms, the Amended and Restated Warrants supersede and replace the previously issued warrants. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Warrants, the Company may, at its sole discretion, opt to exchange no fewer than all of the Amended and Restated Warrants for 1,617,917 common shares, as adjusted for the Company’s share consolidation effective July 11, 2017. Between July 14, 2017 and July 20, 2017, the Company notified the Holders of its intent to exchange all of the Amended and Restated Warrants, which exchange shall automatically occur on the third business day after such notice is duly given.

The obligations under the Debenture with FBC Holdings are secured by substantially all assets of the Company.

The obligations under the Opus Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all assets of the Company.

“Piggyback” registration rights contained in Warrant numbers 1 through 11 for the purchase of up to 818,182 Common Shares at an exercise price of $7.50 per share.

The Company is currently evaluating whether it will continue to qualify as a Foreign Private Issuer based on its share holdings as of June 30, 2017. In the event that the Company will no longer continue to qualify as a Foreign Private Issuer, the Company will be required to comply all applicable rules and regulations beginning January 1, 2018.
