Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated October 9, 2019 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”)  between the Company and Antara Capital Master Fund LP (“Antara”), on October 9, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), the Company sold to Antara 3,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) at a price of $5.25 per share for a total of $19,950,000. Antara has agreed not to dispose of the Shares for a period of 90 days from the Closing Date. The net proceeds from the transaction will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. In connection with the private placement, William Blair & Company, L.L.C. (“Blair”) acted as exclusive placement agent for the Company and received a cash placement fee of $1,197,000.

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company and Antara entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated October 9, 2019 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company has agreed, at its expense, to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") covering the resale of the Shares by Antara (the "Registration Statement"). The Company will be required to pay certain negotiated cash payments to Antara in the event that the Registration Statement is not filed within 30 days of the Closing Date or if the Registration Statement is not declared effective within three months of the Closing Date, subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

On October 9, 2019, the Company also entered into a Debt Commitment Letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”) with Antara, pursuant to which Antara has committed to extend to the Company a $30 million senior secured term loan facility (“Term Facility”). The Term Facility is subject to various closing conditions, including the execution and delivery of definitive loan documentation by the Company and Antara on or before October 31, 2019. Pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter, the Company will draw $15 million of the Term Facility concurrently with the execution of the definitive loan documentation, and subject to the terms of the definitive loan documentation, will draw the remaining $15 million during the period commencing on the nine-month anniversary and terminating on the eighteen-month anniversary of the execution of the definitive loan documentation. The outstanding amount of the draws under the Term Facility will bear interest at 9.75% per annum, payable monthly in arrears. Upon the execution of the Debt Commitment Letter, the Company paid to Antara a non-refundable commitment fee of $1,200,000. Blair acted as exclusive placement agent for the Company and received a cash placement fee of $750,000.

Section 4.1          Existence.  The Investor is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization, with all requisite power and authority to own, lease, use and operate its properties and to conduct its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to have such power or authority would not prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
 
Section 4.2        Authorization, Enforceability.  The Investor has all necessary corporate, limited liability company or partnership power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, and the execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Investor. The Operative Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Investor in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company) this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Investor; and the Registration Rights Agreement is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, fair dealing and good faith.
 
18

Section 4.3        No Conflict.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by the Investor and the consummation by the Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (a) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement to which the Investor is a party or by which the Investor is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Investor is subject, (b) conflict with or result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Investor, or (c) violate any statute, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Investor or the property or assets of the Investor, except in the cases of clauses (a) and (c), for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults as would not prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents.
 
Section 4.4        Certain Fees.  No fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Investor to brokers, finders, or investment bankers with respect to the purchase of any of the Shares or the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.  The Investor agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any and all claims, demands, or liabilities for broker’s, finder’s, placement, or other similar fees or commissions incurred by the Investor in connection with the purchase of the Shares or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

19

Section 4.6         Restricted Securities.  The Investor understands that the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities Laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such Laws and applicable regulations such securities may not be resold absent registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom.  In this connection, the Investor represents that it is knowledgeable with respect to Rule 144 of the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act.

Section 4.11        Company Information. The Investor acknowledges that it had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company directly and it conducted and completed its own independent due diligence with respect to the purchase of the Shares.  Based on the information as the Investor has deemed appropriate, it has independently made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and purchase the Shares.  Except for the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company expressly set forth in the Agreement, the Investor is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice you deem appropriate) with respect to the purchase of the Shares.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION
 
Section 6.1         Indemnification by the Company.  The Company agrees to indemnify the Investor and its Representatives (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company contained herein, provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of the representations or warranties is asserted prior to the expiration of such representations or warranties (to the extent such representations or warranties are subject to expiration).  No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover special, consequential (including lost profits) or punitive damages, provided that any losses recovered by a third party against Indemnified Parties as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company contained herein shall be included in such Indemnified Party’s losses, regardless of the form of such third party’s losses and whether components of such awards relate to special, consequential or punitive damages.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, consequential damages shall not be deemed to include diminution in value of the Shares, which is specifically included in damages covered by Indemnified Parties’ indemnification above. Solely for purposes of this Article VI, in determining whether there has been a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.10 or Section 3.23, the qualification “except as disclosed in the Draft Filings and Company SEC Documents” or words of similar import contained in such representations or warranties shall be disregarded and without effect (as if such qualification were deleted from such representation or warranty).

Section 6.2       Indemnification Procedure.  Promptly after any Indemnified Party has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third Person, which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.  Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such claim to the extent then known.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith.  If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof.  Such cooperation shall include furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control.  Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party.  After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (a) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (b) if (i) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from liability of, and does not include any admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party.

(a)        Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company, the Investor, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 7.6          Removal of Legend.
 
(a)         The Company, at its sole cost, shall remove the legend described in Section 4.7 (or instruct its transfer agent to so remove such legend) from the Shares issued and sold to the Investor pursuant to this Agreement if (A) such Shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (B) such Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company), or (C) such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as to such securities and without volume or manner of sale restrictions.
 
25

(b)         In connection with a sale of the Shares by an Investor in reliance on Rule 144, the applicable Investor or its broker shall deliver to the transfer agent and the Company a broker customary representation letter providing to the transfer agent and the Company any information necessary to determine that the sale of the Shares is made in compliance with Rule 144, including, as may be appropriate, a certification that the Investor is not an Affiliate of the Company and regarding the length of time the Shares have been held.  Upon receipt of such representation letter, the Company shall promptly direct its transfer agent to remove the legend referred to in Section 4.7 from the Shares, and the Company shall bear all costs associated therewith.  After the Investor or its permitted assigns have held the Shares for such time as non-Affiliates are permitted to sell without volume limitations under Rule 144, if the Shares still bear the restrictive legend referred to in Section 4.7, the Company agrees, upon request of the Investor or permitted assignee, to take all steps necessary to promptly effect the removal of the legend described in Section 4.7 from the Shares, and the Company shall bear all costs associated therewith, regardless of whether the request is made in connection with a sale or otherwise, so long as the Investor or its permitted assigns provide to the Company any information the Company deems reasonably necessary to determine that the legend is no longer required under the Securities Act or applicable state laws, including, without limitation, a certification that the holder is not an Affiliate of the Company (and a covenant to inform the Company if it should thereafter become an Affiliate and to consent to the notation of an appropriate restrictive legend) and regarding the length of time the Shares have been held.
 
(c)        Promptly upon the removal of the legend described in Section 4.7 in accordance with this Section 7.6, but in no event later than five (5) business days after such removal, the Company will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to deliver, on behalf of the Investor, the Shares to a securities account designated by the Investor held by the Depository Trust Company.
 
Section 7.7          Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the other Operative Documents and the other agreements and documents referred to herein are intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein.  There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein or the other Operative Documents with respect to the rights granted by the Company or any of its Affiliates or the Investor or any of its Affiliates set forth herein or therein.  This Agreement, the other Operative Documents and the other agreements and documents referred to herein or therein supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter, provided, however, that all of the terms and conditions of the non-disclosure agreement, dated September 30, 2019, between Antara Capital, L.P. and the Company shall remain in full force and effect until September 30, 2020.

The provisions of this Agreement shall apply to the full extent set forth herein with respect to any and all equity interests of the Company or any successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for or in substitution of, the Shares, and shall be appropriately adjusted for combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like occurring after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
Section 2.01        Mandatory Registration.  No later than November 8, 2020 (such date, the “Mandatory Shelf Filing Date”), the Company shall prepare and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement with the Commission on Form S-3 under the Securities Act providing for registration and resale, on a continuous or delayed basis and from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, of all of the Registrable Securities then outstanding; provided, however, that if the Company is not eligible to file and use a Form S-3 to register resales by the Holders by the Mandatory Shelf Filing Date, it shall prepare and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file such form of registration statement as is then available to permit resales by the Holders on a continuous or delayed basis (including a Form S‑1); provided, further, that if the Company has filed the registration statement on a form other than Form S-3 and subsequently becomes eligible to use Form S-3 or any equivalent or successor form or forms, the Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to (i) file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement converting such registration statement to a registration statement on Form S-3 or any equivalent or successor form or forms or (ii) withdraw such registration statement and file a registration statement on Form S-3 or any equivalent or successor form or forms, (the registration statement on such form, as amended or supplemented, the “Registration Statement”).  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after the Mandatory Shelf Filing Date.  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (A) the date when all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold, and (B) the date on which all of the Shares cease to be Registrable Securities hereunder (such period, the “Effectiveness Period”).  The Registration Statement when effective (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement is made).  The Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a trading day.

Section 2.02          Failure to File or Become Effective; Liquidated Damages.
 
(a)         If (i) the Company has not filed the Registration Statement with the Commission on or prior to the Mandatory Shelf Filing Date, or (ii) a Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Deadline, or (iii) after the effective date of the Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than ten (10) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of fifteen (15) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii), the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (iii), the date on which such ten (10) or fifteen (15) calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, each Holder shall be entitled to a payment, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier (the “Liquidated Damages”). In no event will the aggregate Liquidated Damages payable to a Holder pursuant to this Agreement exceed (i) if the Company has not breached Section 2.08, 5% and (ii) if otherwise, 10%, in each case, of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier of such Holder. If the Company fails to timely pay any partial Liquidated Damages pursuant to this this Section 2.02, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 10% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the applicable Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.

(b)          The Liquidated Damages shall be paid to each Holder in cash within ten (10) Business Days following the last day of 30-day period that the Holders are entitled to such Liquidated Damages.  Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall constitute the Holders’ exclusive remedy for such events.  Any Liquidated Damages due under this Section 2.02 shall be paid to the Holders in immediately available funds.  The obligation to pay the Liquidated Damages to a Holder pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall cease at such time as the Registrable Securities become eligible for resale by such Holder under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without regard to any volume or manner of sale restrictions.
 
Section 2.03          Blackout and Delay Rights.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:
 
(a)          the Company shall not be required to (i) file a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or, (ii) if a Registration Statement has been filed but not declared effective by the Commission, request effectiveness of such Registration Statement, for a period of up to 60 days, if the Company in its sole discretion determines (A) in good faith that a postponement is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders generally due to a pending transaction involving the Company (including a pending securities offering by the Company, or any proposed financing, acquisition, merger, tender offer, business combination, corporate reorganization, consolidation or other significant transaction involving the Company), (B) such registration would render the Company unable to comply with applicable securities laws, (C) such registration would require disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, or (D) audited financial statements as of a date other than the fiscal year end of the Company would be required to be prepared; provided, however, that in no event shall any such period exceed an aggregate of 90 days in any 365-day period; and

4

(b)          the Company may, upon prior written notice to any Selling Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement (which notice shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made, as applicable), suspend such Selling Holder’s use of any prospectus which is a part of the Registration Statement or other registration statement (in which event the Selling Holder shall discontinue sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement but may settle any previously made sales of Registrable Securities) if (i) the Company determines that it would be required to make disclosure of material information in the Registration Statement that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, (ii) the Company has experienced some other material non-public event the disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith judgment of the Company, would adversely affect the Company or (iii) the Company determines that it is required to amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related prospectus so that such Registration Statement or prospectus does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, however, that in no event shall (i) the Selling Holders be suspended from selling Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or other registration statement for a period that exceeds an aggregate of 90 days in any 180-day period and (ii) any such notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries.  Upon disclosure of such information or the termination of the condition described above, the Company shall provide prompt notice to the Selling Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement, and shall promptly terminate any suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall take such other reasonable actions to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated in this Agreement.
 
Section 2.04          Sale Procedures.  In connection with its obligations under this Article II, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
 
(a)         (i) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement, (ii) cause the related prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably possible to the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to a Registration Statement (provided that, the Company shall excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries), and (iv) comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such prospectus as so supplemented;

(b)         Indemnification by the Holders.  The Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2.01 above, that the Company shall have received an undertaking satisfactory to it from the prospective Holder of such securities, to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 2.07(a) above) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any statement or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information regarding such Holder furnished by such Holder in accordance with Section 2.07(a) above.  The maximum liability of each Holder for any such indemnification shall not exceed the amount of proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of his/its Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling Person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder.

(c)          Notices of Claims, etc.  Promptly after receipt by any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in Section 2.07(a) or (b) above, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”), give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under in Section 2.07(a) or (b) above, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.  In case any such action is brought against an Indemnified Party, unless in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Parties and Indemnifying Parties may exist in respect of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.  No Indemnified Party shall settle any claim for which indemnity maybe sought under this Agreement without the consent of the Indemnifying Party.
 
(d)         Other Indemnification.  Indemnification similar to that specified in in Section 2.07(a) or (b) above, and (c) above (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each seller of Registrable Securities with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any Federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority other than the Securities Act.
 
(e)         Indemnification Payments.  The indemnification required by this Section 2.07 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.
 
(f)          The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 2.07 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.
 
Section 2.08         Rule 144 Reporting.  With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:
 
(a)          make and keep adequate current public information regarding the Company available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act;
 
(b)          file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at all times from and after the date hereof;

(d)          so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish, unless otherwise available via EDGAR, to such Holder forthwith upon request a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

Section 2.10          Piggy-Back Registration.  If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within five (5) days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered.

Commitment Letter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have advised Antara Capital Master Fund LP on behalf of itself and certain of its affiliates and accounts managed or sub-advised by it or its affiliates (“Antara”), in its collective capacity as an initial lender under the Term Facility (in such capacity, “we”, “us” or the “Commitment Parties”) that USA Technologies, Inc. (the “Borrower” or “you”), intends to consummate an  equity sale pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith between the Borrower and Antara (the “SPA”) and retire it’s existing credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank (the “Transactions”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Term Sheet”; this commitment letter, the Term Sheet attached hereto as Exhibit A and the Summary of Additional Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B, collectively, the “Commitment Letter”).
 
1.
Commitments.
 
In connection with the Transactions, Antara is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Facility (the “Commitment”) subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein the aggregate amount of the Term Facility committed to be provided by Antara hereunder and the aggregate amount of the economics of Antara hereunder may not be reduced without the prior written consent of Antara.
 
2.
Titles and Roles.
 
It is agreed that Antara will act as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Term Facility.  Antara may in its discretion delegate the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent roles to one or more third parties.

3.
Information.
 
You hereby represent, warrant and covenant that (a) all information (other than the Projections) that has been or will be made available directly or indirectly to any Commitment Party by the Borrower or any of its representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Information”), when taken as a whole, is and, when provided, will be complete and correct in all material respects and does not and, when provided, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made, not misleading, and (b) all projections (“Projections”) that have been or will be made available to any Commitment Party by the Borrower or any of its representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable by the preparer thereof at the time such Projections are provided to any Commitment Party; it being understood that any such Projections are not to be viewed as facts, are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, that no assurance can be given that any particular Projections will be realized, that actual results may differ and that such differences may be material. You agree, if at any time you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect, to promptly supplement the Information and such Projections such that such representations and warranties are correct in all material respects. You further agree to supplement the Information and any Projections previously provided, or that will be provided, from time to time and agree to promptly notify each Commitment Party of any changes in circumstances that could be expected to call into question the continued reasonableness of any assumption underlying any Projections previously provided, or that will be provided, by or on behalf of The Borrower or any of its representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. You acknowledge and agree that, in issuing this Commitment Letter, each Commitment Party is using and relying on the accuracy of the Information and the Projections, and, in structuring, arranging or syndicating the Term Facility, the Commitment Parties may use and rely on the Information and the Projections and other offering and marketing materials or information memoranda, without independent verification thereof.  You shall, and shall cause each of your respective affiliates and your and your affiliates’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives, to provide to the Commitment Parties all information regarding the Transactions as any Commitment Party may reasonably request.

4.
Conditions.
 
The commitments and agreements of the Commitment Parties and Antara are subject to there not having occurred, since June 30, 2019, and except as disclosed in the Company SEC Documents or the Draft Filings heretofore provided to Antara (as such terms are defined in the SPA), any event that has resulted in or could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change in or effect on the general affairs, management, financial position, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as determined by Antara in its good faith business judgment. The commitments and agreements of the Commitment Parties and Antara are also subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the section entitled “Closing Conditions” in Exhibit A, the conditions set forth in Exhibit B, and the negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive documentation on or before October 31, 2019 with respect to the Term Facility reflecting, among other things, the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Exhibits A and B, in a manner acceptable to Antara. In addition, the commitments and agreements of the Commitment Parties and Antara are conditioned upon and made subject to Antara not becoming aware after the date hereof of any new or inconsistent information or other matter not previously disclosed to Antara relating to the Borrower or the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter which Antara, in its reasonable judgment, deems material and adverse relative to the information or other matters disclosed to Antara prior to the date hereof.
 
You agree that, for purposes hereof, the date on which the Term Facility is funded and the Transactions are concurrently consummated shall be a date mutually agreed upon between you and us, but in any event shall not occur until the terms and conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter (including consummation of the transactions under the SPA) are satisfied (the “Closing Date”).

5.
Fees and Expenses.
 
As consideration for the commitments of each Commitment Party under this Commitment Letter, you agree to pay (or cause to be paid) (i) a Commitment Fee in the amount of $1.2 million concurrently with the execution of this agreement (or if this agreement is not executed on a business day, on the first business day thereafter), (ii) in the event that a third-party administrative agent and/or collateral agent is appointed, an agency fee in an aggregate amount up to $35,000 per year to such administrative agent and/or collateral agent on the date of the initial appointment of such third-party agent(s) and on each anniversary of the date of such initial appointment, and (iii) the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and Expenses (as defined in Section 6 below), all of which shall be payable (other than the agency fee) whether or not the SPA or Term Facility transactions close and regardless of the reason that either such a transaction does not close. You agree that, once paid, all of the foregoing fees and Expenses or any part thereof shall be fully earned and not be refundable under any circumstances, regardless of whether the transactions or borrowings contemplated hereby are consummated, and shall not be creditable against any other amount payable in connection herewith or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the legal fees payable by the Company in connection with the negotiation and documentation of the SPA and the Credit Facilities shall be capped at $400,000.00 (exclusive of reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs), with respect to which a partial payment of $150,000.00 shall, concurrently with the payment of the Commitment Fee, be paid on account by the Company to counsel to Antara and applied to the overall cap of $400,000.00.  In consideration of the foregoing cap, the parties will endeavor in good faith to complete the negotiation and documentation of the SPA and the Credit Facilities in an efficient manner.
 
6.

The foregoing provisions in this paragraph shall be superseded in each case, to the extent covered thereby, by the applicable provisions contained in the definitive loan documentation upon execution thereof and thereafter shall have no further force and effect.
 

 4
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, (a) no Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through internet, electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent that such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s affiliates or any of its or its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) and (b) none of the Commitment Parties, Antara, any Indemnified Person or you shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Transactions (including the Term Facility and the use of proceeds thereunder), or with respect to any activities related to the Term Facility, including the preparation of this Commitment Letter and any documentation with respect thereto; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall limit your indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent that such indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages are included in any claim by a third party unaffiliated with the applicable Indemnified Person with respect to which the applicable Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification as set forth in this Section 6.
 
You shall not, without the prior written consent of any Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (it being understood that the withholding of consent due to non-satisfaction of any of the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence shall be deemed reasonable), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.
 
7.
