The Company has furnished to the Holder true, correct and complete copies of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and as in effect on the date hereof (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and the Company’s by-laws, as amended and as in effect on the date hereof (the “Bylaws”), and the terms of all Convertible Securities and the material rights of the holders thereof in respect thereto.

 

(o) Litigation. There is no action, suit, arbitration, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by the Principal Market, any court, public board, other Governmental Entity, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock or any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ officers or directors, whether of a civil or criminal nature or otherwise, in their capacities as such, that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries has willfully violated 18 U.S.C. §1519 or engaged in spoliation in reasonable anticipation of litigation. Without limitation of the foregoing, there has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any current or former director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The SEC has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act. Other than claims that have historically been brought against companies such as the Company following consummation of a business combination with a blank check company, including but not limited to claims relating to breaches of fiduciary duty by directors of such a company or faulty valuations, after reasonable inquiry of its employees, the Company is not aware of any fact which might result in or form the basis for any such action, suit, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Entity.

(p) Internal Accounting and Disclosure Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintains internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the 1934 Act) that, except as set forth in the SEC Documents, is effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any difference. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the 1934 Act) that, except as set forth in the SEC Documents, are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice or correspondence from any accountant, Governmental Entity or other Person relating to any potential material weakness or significant deficiency in any part of the internal controls over financial reporting of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except as set forth in the SEC Documents.

The Company further understands and acknowledges that following the public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Documents pursuant to the Initial 8-K Filing and each Additional 8-K Filing (each as defined below, as applicable) the Holder may engage in hedging and/or trading activities (including, without limitation, the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock) at various times during the period that the New Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value and/or number of the Conversion Shares deliverable with respect to the Exchanged Preferred Shares are being determined and such hedging and/or trading activities (including, without limitation, the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock), if any, can reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interest in the Company both at and after the time the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the best of the Company’s knowledge (after reasonable inquiry of its officers and directors), any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or other representatives of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other business entity or enterprise with which the Company or any Subsidiary is or has been affiliated or associated, has, directly or indirectly, made or authorized any payment, contribution or gift of money, property, or services, whether or not in contravention of applicable law, (i) as a kickback or bribe to any Person or (ii) to any political organization, or the holder of or any aspirant to any elective or appointive public office except for personal political contributions not involving the direct or indirect use of funds of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(u) Money Laundering. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with, and have not previously violated, the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and all other applicable U.S. and non-U.S. anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the laws, regulations and Executive Orders and sanctions programs administered by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control, including, but not limited, to (i) Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001 entitled, “Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism” (66 Fed.

(x) Disclosure. The Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided the Holder or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute material, non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than the existence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Exchange Documents. The Company understands and confirms that the Holder will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure provided to the Holder regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All of the written information furnished after the date hereof by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the Holder pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement and the other Exchange Documents, taken as a whole, will be true and correct in all material respects as of the date on which such information is so provided and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each press release issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the twelve (12) months preceding the date of this Agreement did not at the time of release contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred or information exists with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their business, properties, liabilities, prospects, operations (including results thereof) or conditions (financial or otherwise), which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure at or before the date hereof or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly disclosed. All financial projections and forecasts that have been prepared by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and made available to the Holder have been prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions and represented, at the time each such financial projection or forecast was delivered to the Holder, the Company’s best estimate of future financial performance (it being recognized that such financial projections or forecasts are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by any such financial projections or forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Holder does not make and has not made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 5.

(a) Organization and Authority. The Holder has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Holder and the consummation by Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby has been duly authorized by Holder’s board of directors or other governing body. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Holder and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Holder, enforceable against Holder in accordance with its terms.

 

(b) Ownership of Exchanging Securities. As of the Initial Closing Date, the Holder owns the Initial Exchanging Securities, and as of the applicable Additional Closing, the Holder owns the applicable Additional Exchanging Securities (in each case, subject to any reductions in connection with any conversion thereof prior to such Closing Date) free and clear of any Liens (other than the obligations pursuant to this Agreement, the Exchange Documents and applicable securities laws).

 

(c) Reliance on Exemptions. The Holder understands that the New Securities are being offered and exchanged in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Holder’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Holder set forth herein and in the Exchange Documents in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Holder to acquire the New Securities.

 

(d) Validity; Enforcement. This Agreement and the Exchange Documents to which the Holder is a party have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Holder and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Holder enforceable against the Holder in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

 

 
16

 

 

(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Holder of this Agreement and the Exchange Documents to which the Holder is a party, and the consummation by the Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Exchanged Preferred Shares and the reservation for issuance and issuance of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Exchanged Preferred Shares) will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Holder or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Holder is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to the Holder, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Holder to perform its obligations hereunder.

 

(f) Transfer or Resale. The Holder understands that: (i) the New Securities have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, are and will be offered and sold in reliance upon federal and state exemptions for transactions not involving any public offering and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) the Holder shall have delivered to the Company (if requested by the Company) an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such New Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) the Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such New Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144; (ii) any sale of the New Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144, and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the New Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder; and (iii) except as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), if any, neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the New Securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the New Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the New Securities, subject to the requirements of applicable laws, and such pledge of New Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the New Securities hereunder, and the Holder effecting a pledge of New Securities shall not be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Exchange Document, including, without limitation, this Section 5(f).

 

(g) No Consideration Paid. No commission or other remuneration has been paid by the Holder for soliciting the exchange of the Exchanging Securities for the Exchanged Preferred Shares as contemplated hereby.

Neither the Company, its Subsidiaries nor the Holder shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the consent of the other party; provided, however, the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of the Holder, to make a press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the Initial 8-K Filing and contemporaneously therewith or (ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case of clause (i) the Holder shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release). Without the prior written consent of the Holder (which may be granted or withheld in the Holder’s sole discretion), except as required by applicable law, the Company shall not (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and affiliates to not) disclose the name of the Holder in any filing, announcement, release or otherwise.

 

(b) Additional Closings. The Company shall, on the first (1st) Business Day after the parties mutually agree on an Additional Closing Memo, file a Current Report on Form 8‑K (each, an “Additional 8-K Filing”, and together with the Initial 8-K Filing, the “8-K Filings”), reasonably acceptable to the Holder, disclosing the terms of the Additional Closing Memo. From and after the filing of the Additional 8-K Filing, solely to the extent such Additional Closing Memo constitutes material non-public information, the Company shall have disclosed all material, non-public information (if any) provided to the Holder by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Documents. In addition, effective upon the filing of the Additional 8-K Filing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and the Holder or any of its affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate.

7. No Integration. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, any of their affiliates, or any Person acting on their behalf shall, directly or indirectly, make any offers or sales of any security (as defined in the Securities Act) or solicit any offers to buy any security or take any other actions, under circumstances that would require registration of the New Securities under the Securities Act or cause this offering of the New Securities to be integrated with such offering or any prior offerings by the Company under the Securities Act.

 

8. Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing or designation for quotation (as applicable) of all of the Conversion Shares upon the Principal Market (subject to official notice of issuance). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Common Stock’s authorization for quotation on the Principal Market. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action which would be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on the Principal Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 8.

 

9. Fees. The Company shall (x) reimburse Holder on demand, for all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with preparing and delivering this Agreement and any substantially similar agreement with any Other Holder (including, without limitation, all legal fees and disbursements in connection therewith, and due diligence in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby) (i) at the Initial Closing, in the aggregate, for this Agreement and any such substantially similar agreement, a non-accountable amount of $2,500 and (ii) at each Additional Closing, in the aggregate, for this Agreement and any such substantially similar agreement, a non-accountable amount of $2,500 (the “Legal Fee Amount”) and (y) the Holder, on demand, for all other costs and expenses incurred by it or its affiliates in connection with the structuring, documentation, negotiation and closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Documents and any prior amendments and agreements with the Company not reimbursed prior to the date hereof (the “Remaining Expenses”). The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, transfer agent fees, DTC (as defined below) fees or broker’s commissions (other than for Persons engaged by the Holder) relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated.

12. No Commissions. Neither the Company nor the Holder has paid or given, or will pay or give, to any person, any commission, fee or other remuneration, directly or indirectly, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

13. Termination. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Effective Date has not occurred and the Company does not deliver the Exchanged Preferred Shares to the Holder, in accordance with Section 1 hereof, then, at the election of the Holder delivered in writing to the Company at any time after January 31, 2026, this Agreement shall be terminated and be null and void ab initio and the Exchanging Securities shall not be cancelled hereunder and shall remain outstanding as if this Agreement never existed.

 

14. Conversion Procedures. The form of Conversion Notice (as defined in the New Certificate of Designations) included in the Exchanged Preferred Shares sets forth the totality of the procedures required of the Holder in order to convert the Exchanged Preferred Shares. No legal opinion or other information or instructions shall be required of the Holder to convert the Exchanged Preferred Shares. The Company shall honor conversions of the Exchanged Preferred Shares and shall deliver the Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Exchanged Preferred Shares. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Conversion Notice shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Conversion Notice form be required in order to convert the Exchanged Preferred Shares.

 

15. Reservation of Shares. So long as any portion of the Exchanged Preferred Shares remains outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than 100% of the sum of the maximum number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Exchanged Preferred Shares then outstanding (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the Exchanged Preferred Shares are convertible at the Floor Price or Adjusted Floor Price (as defined the New Certificate of Designations), as applicable, then in effect, (y) dividends on the Exchanged Preferred Shares shall accrue through December 31, 2026 and will be converted in shares of Common Stock at a dividend conversion price equal to the Floor Price or Adjusted Floor Price (as defined the New Certificate of Designations), as applicable, then in effect, and (z) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Exchanged Preferred Shares set forth in the New Certificate of Designations) (collectively, the “Required Reserve Amount”). If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance by the Company is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount, the Company shall promptly take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Exchanged Preferred Shares then outstanding.

 

 
20

 

 

16. Pledge of New Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the New Securities may be pledged by the Holder in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the New Securities, subject to the requirements of applicable laws. The pledge of New Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the New Securities hereunder, and the Holder effecting a pledge of New Securities shall not be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Exchange Document, including, without limitation, Section 5(f) hereof; provided, that the Holder and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of New Securities to such pledgee. The Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the New Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the New Securities to such pledgee by the Holder.

 

17. Stockholder Approval. The Company shall either (x) if the Company shall have obtained the prior written consent of the requisite stockholders (the “Stockholder Consent”) to obtain the Stockholder Approval (as defined below), inform the stockholders of the Company of the receipt of the Stockholder Consent by preparing and filing with the SEC, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, but prior to the forty-fifth (45th) calendar day after the date hereof (or, if such filing is delayed by a court or regulatory agency, in no event later than ninety (90) calendar days after the date hereof), an information statement with respect thereto or (y) provide each stockholder entitled to vote at a special meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholder Meeting”), which shall be promptly called and held not later than March 31, 2026 (the “Stockholder Meeting Deadline”), a proxy statement, in each case, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Holder and Holder Counsel, at the expense of the Company, with the Company obligated to reimburse the expenses incurred in connection therewith in an amount not exceed $2,500 (provided, that a form of the proxy statement, including any immaterial changes thereto, shall be deemed acceptable to the Holder and Holder Counsel if the Holder and Holder Counsel do not object in writing within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof). The proxy statement, if any, shall solicit each of the Company’s stockholder’s affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting for approval of resolutions (“Stockholder Resolutions”) providing for the issuance of all of the New Securities (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in the New Certificate of Designations) in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market (such affirmative approval being referred to herein as the “Stockholder Approval”, and the date such Stockholder Approval is obtained, the “Stockholder Approval Date”), and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such resolutions and to cause the Board of Directors of the Company to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such resolutions. The Company shall be obligated to seek to obtain the Stockholder Approval by the Stockholder Meeting Deadline. If, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts the Stockholder Approval is not obtained on or prior to the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, the Company shall cause an additional Stockholder Meeting to be held on or prior to May 31, 2026. If, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts the Stockholder Approval is not obtained after such subsequent stockholder meetings, the Company shall cause an additional Stockholder Meeting to be held semi-annually thereafter until such Stockholder Approval is obtained.

 

 
21

 

 

18. Holding Period. For the purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (collectively, or such other similar statue, the “Resale Exceptions”), the Company acknowledges that the holding period of the Exchanged Preferred Shares (and upon conversion of the Exchanged Preferred Shares, the Conversion Shares) may be tacked onto the holding period of the applicable Exchanging Securities, and the Company agrees not to take a position contrary to this Section 18. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the Holder’s representations and warranties contained in Section 5 of this Agreement, Exchanged Preferred Shares (and upon conversion of the Exchanged Preferred Shares, the Conversion Shares) shall not be required to bear any restrictive legend and shall be freely transferable by the Holder pursuant to and in accordance with the Resale Exceptions; provided, that at least one year has elapsed since the Existing Securities were acquired from the Company or an affiliate of the Company as determined in accordance with Rule 144 and the preceding sentence; and provided, further, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Holder shall not be an affiliate of the Company and shall not have been an affiliate during the 90 days preceding the date of any transfer.

 

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

 

20. Register; Transfer Agent Instructions; Legend.

 

(a) Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holder), a register for the Exchanged Preferred Shares in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Exchanged Preferred Shares has been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Exchanged Preferred Shares held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of the Holder or its legal representatives.

 

 
22

 

 

(b) Transfer Agent Instructions. On or prior to the date hereof, the Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and, prior to obtaining any subsequent transfer agent, the Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to any subsequent transfer agent, in each case, in a form acceptable to the Holder (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), registered in the name of the Holder or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Holder to the Company upon the conversion of the Exchanged Preferred Shares. The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 20(b) will be given by the Company to its Transfer Agent with respect to the Conversion Shares, and that the Conversion Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Transfer Agent to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Exchange Documents, subject to applicable laws. If the Holder effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Conversion Shares, subject to applicable laws, the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Holder to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 20(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 20(b) that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue each legal opinion referred to in the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to the Transfer Agent as follows: (i) upon each conversion of the Exchanged Preferred Shares (unless such issuance is covered by a prior legal opinion previously delivered to the Transfer Agent), and (ii) on each date a registration statement with respect to the issuance or resale of any of the Conversion Shares is declared effective by the SEC. Any fees (with respect to the Transfer Agent, counsel to the Company or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinions or the removal of any legends on any of the Conversion Shares shall be borne by the Company.

 

(c) Legends. The Holder understands that the Exchanged Preferred Shares have been issued (or the Conversion Shares will be issued) pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, and except as set forth below, the New Securities shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form and any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

 

[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN][THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

(d) Removal of Legends. Certificates evidencing New Securities shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in Section 20(c) above or any other legend (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such New Securities is effective under the 1933 Act, provided that the Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such New Securities are to be sold in accordance with the prospectus included in the registration statement and the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, (ii) following any sale of such New Securities pursuant to the Resale Exceptions (assuming neither the transferor nor the transferee is an affiliate of the Company), (iii) if such New Securities are eligible to be sold, assigned or transferred under the Resale Exceptions, without volume or manner of sale limitations, provided that the Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such New Securities are eligible for sale, assignment or transfer under the Resale Exceptions, which shall not include an opinion of Holder’s counsel, (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer without registration under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (other than under the Resale Exceptions), provided that the Holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel to the Holder, in a reasonably acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the New Securities may be made without such registration and that future resales by the transferee may be made without such registration and without compliance with any further conditions, or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the SEC). If a legend is not required pursuant to the foregoing with respect to such New Securities, the Company shall no later than one (1) Trading Day (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated on the date the Holder delivers such legended certificate representing such New Securities to the Company) following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the transfer agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing such New Securities (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), together with any other deliveries from the Holder as may be required above in this Section 20(d), as directed by the Holder, either: (A) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”) and such New Securities are Conversion Shares, credit the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (B) if the Company’s transfer agent is not participating in FAST, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the Holder, a certificate representing such New Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee (the date by which such credit is so required to be made to the balance account of the Holder’s or the Holder’s nominee with DTC or such certificate is required to be delivered to the Holder pursuant to the foregoing is referred to herein as the “Required Delivery Date”, and the date such shares of Common Stock are actually delivered without restrictive legend to the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC, as applicable, the “Share Delivery Date”). The Company shall be responsible for any transfer agent fees or DTC fees with respect to any issuance of New Securities or the removal of any legends with respect to any New Securities in accordance herewith.

(e) Failure to Timely Deliver; Buy-In. If the Company fails, for any reason or for no reason, to issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder (or its designee) by the Required Delivery Date, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, a certificate for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled and register such Conversion Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for such number of Conversion Shares submitted for legend removal by the Holder pursuant to Section 20(d) above (a “Delivery Failure”), and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) shares of Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Delivery Failure (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within one (1) Trading Day after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so acquired (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so deliver such certificate or credit the Holder’s balance account shall terminate and such shares shall be cancelled, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates or credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC representing such number of shares of Common Stock that would have been so delivered if the Company timely complied with its obligations hereunder and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Conversion Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder by the Required Delivery Date multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price (as defined in the New Certificate of Designations) of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by the Holder to the Company of the applicable Conversion Shares and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii). Nothing 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 certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any given Delivery Failure, this Section 20(e) shall not apply to the applicable Holder the extent the Company has already paid such amounts in full to the Holder with respect to such Delivery Failure pursuant to the analogous sections of the New Certificate of Designations.

 

(f) FAST Compliance. While the Exchanged Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program.

 

21. Independent Nature of Holder’s Obligations and Rights. The obligations of the Holder under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Holder under any other substantially similar agreement with the Company, and the Holder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Holder under any other substantially similar agreement with the Company (each, an “Other Agreement”). Nothing contained herein or in any Other Agreement, and no action taken by the Holder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holder and Other Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holder and Other Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Other Agreement and the Company acknowledges that, to the best of its knowledge, the Holder and the Other Holders are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Other Agreement. The Company and the Holder confirm that the Holder has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. The Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
