(2) Neither the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the issuance and sale of the Securities nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor compliance by the Company with any of the provisions hereof or thereof (including the exercise of the Warrants and the rights of the Shares to convert into shares of Common Stock), will (i) require notice, consent or approval pursuant to, violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a right of termination or acceleration of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (A) the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws, charter, bylaws or other governing instrument of any Company Subsidiary or (B) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or by which it may be bound, or to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary may be subject, or (ii) violate any law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, permit, franchise or any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets, except in the case of clauses (i)(B) and (ii) for such violations, conflicts and breaches as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(3) Other than (i) the securities or blue sky laws of the various states of the United States, (ii) the filing of one or more Forms 8-K, and (iii) the notice and/or application(s) to each applicable Trading Market for the issuance and sale of the Securities, no notice to, registration, declaration or filing with, exemption or review by, or authorization, order, consent or approval of any Governmental Entity or stock exchange, nor expiration or termination of any statutory waiting period, is necessary for the execution or delivery by the Company of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, except, in the case of any such matters arising in respect of a non-United States Governmental Entity or Law, as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(4) The Securities are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the applicable Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens imposed by the Company other than restrictions on transfer provided for in the Transaction Documents.

(6) All registrations, qualifications, permits and approvals, if any, required to be obtained prior to the Closing under applicable state securities laws have been obtained for the lawful execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the offer and sale of the Securities.
(7) No approval on the part of the stockholders of the Company is required in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company of the Certificate of Designation or this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions to be performed by the Company contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) Sale of Securities. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations in Section 2.2 and their Accredited Investor Questionnaires, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E, the offer and sale of the Securities is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Neither the Company nor any Person acting on its behalf has conducted any general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale of any of the Securities. Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries nor any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any Company security or solicited any offers to buy any Company security, under circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by the Company on Section 4(a)(2) for the exemption from registration for the transactions contemplated hereby or would require registration of the Securities under the Securities Act.
(e) Status of Securities. The Shares and the Warrants to be issued pursuant to this Agreement and the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Shares and the exercise of the Warrants, as applicable, have been or will be, duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company. When issued and sold against receipt of the consideration therefor as provided in this Agreement or the Certificate of Designation, the Securities will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, will not be subject to preemptive or similar rights of any other shareholder of the Company, and will effectively vest in the Purchasers good title to all such securities, free and clear of all Liens, except restrictions imposed by the Securities Act and any applicable state, foreign or other securities Laws. Upon any conversion of any Shares into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation, such shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will not be subject to preemptive or similar rights of any other shareholder of the Company, and will effectively vest in the Purchasers good title to all such securities, free and clear of all Liens, except restrictions imposed by the Securities Act and any applicable state, foreign or other securities Laws. The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon any conversion of the Shares have been duly reserved for such issuance. From and after the issuance of the Shares (or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, once issued) to each Purchaser, each Purchaser shall be entitled to vote such securities, whether at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders or by written consent, on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. The Company represents that no Law, order, judgment, rule or regulation, and no provision of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company prohibits the Shares (or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, once issued) from being counted toward any such vote when held of record by the applicable Purchaser, and that any vote cast by such Purchaser as record holder of such securities will be valid for all purposes under applicable Law.
(f) SEC Documents; Financial Statements.
(1) The Company has filed on a timely basis, all required reports, proxy statements, forms, and other documents with the SEC since January 1, 2025 (collectively, the “SEC Documents”). Each of the SEC Documents, as of its filing date complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such SEC Documents, and, except to the extent that information contained in any SEC Document has been revised or superseded by a later filed SEC Document filed and publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement, none of the SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company has never been an issuer subject to Rule 144(i) of the Securities Act.
(2) The Company (i) has implemented and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are reasonably designed to ensure that material information (both financial and non-financial) relating to the Company, including its consolidated Subsidiaries, is made known to the individuals responsible for the preparation of the Company’s filings with the SEC and (ii) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date of this Agreement, to the Company’s outside auditors and the Board of Director’s audit committee (A) any material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
(3) There is no transaction, arrangement or other relationship between the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and an unconsolidated or other off-balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its SEC Documents and is not so disclosed.
(4) The financial statements of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries included in the SEC Documents (i) complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, in each case as of the date such SEC Document was filed, and (ii) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly statements, to the absence of footnote disclosures and normal year-end audit adjustments).
(g) Registration Statement Eligibility. The Company is eligible to register the resale of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares for resale by the Purchasers on Form S-3 promulgated under the Securities Act.
(h) Brokers and Finders. Except for Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC pursuant to that certain engagement letter dated September 26, 2025, the fees and expenses of which will be paid by the Company, neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents has employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any financial advisory fees, brokerage fees, commissions or finder’s fees, and no broker or finder has acted directly or indirectly for the Company in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(i) Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened (including “cease and desist” letters or invitations to take patent license) against, nor any outstanding judgment, order, writ or decree against, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets, operations or business before or by any Governmental Entity, which individually or in the aggregate has had, or, would reasonably be expected to have (including for this purpose, assuming an adverse determination of any such matter), a Company Material Adverse Effect. Except as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any judgment, order or decree of any Governmental Entity.
(j) Indebtedness. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is, immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, in default in the payment of any material indebtedness or in default under any agreement relating to its material indebtedness.
(k) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which, to the Company’s knowledge, is reasonably likely to, have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received as of the date of this Agreement any notification that the SEC is contemplating terminating such registration. The Company has not, in the twelve (12) months preceding the date hereof, received notice from Nasdaq that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of Nasdaq. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.
(l) Taxes. The Company and each Company Subsidiary has filed all tax returns that are required to be filed or has requested extensions thereof and has paid all taxes required to be paid by it and any other assessment, fine or penalty levied against it, to the extent that any of the foregoing is due and payable, except (i) for any such assessment, fine or penalty that is currently being contested in good faith or (ii) where such failure to file or pay would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(m) Labor Relations. No labor problem or dispute with the employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary exists or is threatened or, to the knowledge of the Company, imminent, which would reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Regulatory Permits. The Company and the Company Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their businesses as described in the SEC Documents, except where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.
(o) Intellectual Property. The Company and the Company Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights necessary or required for use in connection with their businesses as described in the SEC Documents and which the failure to so have would have a Company Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). None of, and neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual Property Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is reasonably expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest consolidated financial statements included within the SEC Documents, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as would not have or reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights.
(p) FDA.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.
(b) In connection with any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of the Shares, Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, by a Purchaser pursuant to Rule 144, pursuant to any other exemption under the Securities Act or pursuant to sale under an effective registration statement such that such Purchaser acquires freely tradable shares and upon compliance by such Purchaser with the requirements of this Section 4.1, if requested by such Purchaser (or any Permitted Transferee), the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent for the Common Stock to timely remove any restrictive legends related to the book entry account holding such Shares, Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, and make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry Shares, Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, provided that the Company has received customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company in connection therewith.

4.3 Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.3, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, investment advisers and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners, investment advisers or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (i) any breach of any of the representations and warranties (to the extent such representation or warranty is still in effect pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.5) made by the Company in this Agreement or (ii) any Action instituted against a Purchaser in any capacity, or any Purchaser Party, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser seeking indemnification, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such Action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents, or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser of state or federal securities Laws or any conduct by such Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). Promptly after receipt by any such Person (the “Indemnified Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances that would or may give rise to a claim or the commencement of any Proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 4.3, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses relating to such Proceeding or investigation; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such Proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such Proceeding; or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. In the event of the circumstances described in the foregoing clause (iii), if the Indemnified Person notifies the Company in writing that such Indemnified Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, then the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Indemnified Person. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its prior written consent, to the extent fees or costs incurred pursuant to this Section 4.3 are attributable to the Indemnified Person’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by any Purchaser in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished to the Company by the Indemnified Person. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person (by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is a party, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such Proceeding, (ii) imposes no liability or obligation on the Indemnified Person and (iii) does not include any admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing or malfeasance by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person.
4.4 Investment Company. The Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities, will not be required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
4.5 Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” (or similar term) under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti‑takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser would be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement by virtue of receiving the Shares or the Warrants, or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof, respectively.
4.6 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. By 9:01 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately following the date of this Agreement (or such earlier time as may be required by applicable Law), the Company shall issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall file a Current Report on Form 8‑K (with the Transaction Documents filed as exhibits thereto) within the time required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of such press release, the Company represents that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non‑public information delivered to each Purchaser by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser in any filing, announcement or release, without such Purchaser’s prior written consent, except as required by Law or the rules of Nasdaq (in which case the Company shall provide advance notice to such Purchaser).
4.7 Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to this Agreement.
4.8 Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all of the Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. For so long as the Company maintains a listing or quotation of the Common Stock on a Trading Market, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
4.9 Subsequent Equity Sales. From the date hereof until thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or (ii) file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, in each case other than as contemplated pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, or the filing of any prospectus supplement or amendment (but not the issuance of any shares of Common Stock thereunder during the said thirty (30) days restrictive period), or filing of a registration statement on Form S-8 in connection with any employee compensation plan.
4.10 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.

5.2 Amendment; Waiver. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective with respect to any party unless made in writing and signed by an officer of a duly authorized representative of the Company and the Purchasers. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The conditions to each party’s obligation to consummate the Closing are for the sole benefit of such party and may be waived by such party in whole or in part to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

5.3 Counterparts; Electronic Transmission. This Agreement, and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of an electronic transmission, including by a facsimile machine or via email, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or any state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of electronic transmission by a facsimile machine or via email to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through such electronic transmission as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which will be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement binding on each party hereto.

EXHIBIT A
Form of Certificate of Designation
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
OF THE POWERS, PREFERENCES AND
RELATIVE, PARTICIPATING, OPTIONAL AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS
OF SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
OF EKSO BIONICS HOLDINGS, INC.
Ekso Bionic Holdings, Inc. (the “Corporation”), pursuant to the provisions of Sections 78.195 and 78.1955 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada, does hereby make this Certificate of Designation of the Powers, Preferences and Relative, Participating, Optional and Other Restrictions (this “Certificate of Designation”), does hereby state and certify that pursuant to the authority expressly vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) by the provisions of Third Article of the Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Articles”), the Board duly adopted resolutions authorizing the issuance of 5,852 shares of convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and fixing the designation and preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions, of a series of convertible preferred stock to be designated “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock,” as further described below. This Certificate of Designation shall be in full force and effect as of the date hereof.
Section 1.1 Designation. As of the effective date of this Certificate of Designation, there is hereby created out of the authorized preferred stock of the Corporation a series of preferred stock designated as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Preferred Stock”), par value $0.001 per share. The following rights, powers and privileges, and restrictions, qualifications and limitations, shall apply to the Preferred Stock and the holders of the Preferred Stock (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”).
(a) Rank. The Preferred Stock, if entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation (a “Liquidation”), ranks, with respect to the payment of any such dividends and rights upon a Liquidation: (i) prior or senior to all classes or series of common stock of the Corporation, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”); (ii) on parity with other classes or series of our equity securities issued in the future if, pursuant to the specific terms of such class or series of equity securities, the holders of such class or series of equity securities are entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon a Liquidation in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other; (iii) junior to any class or series of our equity securities if, pursuant to the specific terms of such class or series, the holders of such class or series are entitled to the receipt of dividends or amounts distributable upon a Liquidation in preference or priority to the Holders; and (iv) junior to all of the Corporation’s existing and future debt.
(b) Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales.
(i) Payments to Holders of Preferred Stock. Upon Liquidation, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock or any other class or series of capital stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock, by reason of their ownership thereof, and after payment or provision for the Corporation’s debts and other liabilities, the Holders of shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the funds and assets available for distribution to the stockholders of the Corporation, an amount per share equal to the Stated Value (as defined below) thereof, and excluding interest on any such payment. If upon a Liquidation, the funds and assets available for distribution to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay the Holders of shares of Preferred Stock the full amount to which they are entitled under this Section 1.1(b)(i), the Holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the funds and assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts that would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares of Preferred Stock held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full. The “Stated Value” shall mean One Thousand United States Dollars and No Cents ($1,000.00), subject to an equitable adjustment for stock splits, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions.
(ii) Payments to Holders of Common Stock. In the event of a Liquidation, after the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the Holders of shares of Preferred Stock as provided in Section 1.1(b)(i) and to the holders of shares of any other class or series of capital stock ranking senior to or on parity with the Preferred Stock, the remaining funds and assets available for distribution to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such holder. Upon a Liquidation, whether voluntary or involuntary, until payment in full is made to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock of the liquidation distribution to which they are entitled, (A) no dividend or other distribution shall be made to the holders of Common Stock or any other class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the shares of Preferred Stock and (B) no purchase, redemption or other acquisition for any consideration by the Corporation shall be made in respect of the Common Stock or any other class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the shares of Preferred Stock.
(iii) Exceptions. The consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, trust or other entity, the consolidation or merger of any other corporation, trust or entity with or into the Corporation, the sale or transfer of any or all of the Corporation’s assets or business or a statutory share exchange will not be deemed to constitute a Liquidation for purposes of this Section 1.1(b).
Section 1.2 Voting Rights.
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise required by law, the Preferred Stock shall have no separate voting rights.
(b) Holders shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock on an as converted to Common Stock basis (determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price (as defined below)), assuming the shares of Preferred Stock were converted with a Conversion Date occurring on such record or other relevant date; and the Holders will be entitled to notice of all stockholder meetings or proposed actions by written consent in accordance with the Articles, the Bylaws of the Corporation, and the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada as if the Holders were holders of Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, the voting rights set forth in this Section 1.2(b) will not be limited or eliminated by the provisions in Section 1.5(d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.2, in no event shall the shares of Preferred Stock held by any Holder (together with such Holder’s Attribution Parties (as defined below)) be entitled to have, on an as-converted basis and in aggregate, together with votes attributable to any other voting securities beneficially owned by such Holder and such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Attribution Parties, a number of votes representing more than 19.99% of the then-combined voting power of all of the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding as of the time of such vote (the “Voting Cap”), provided, however, that if the Corporation’s stockholders and such Holder approve the voting of the Preferred Stock above the Voting Cap, the Voting Cap will cease to apply with respect to such Holder (and such Holder’s Attribution Parties). In the event that all shares of Preferred Stock held by any Holder and such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Attribution Parties are not entitled to vote due to the Voting Cap, the number of votes that such Holder and such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Attribution Parties are entitled to in terms of their respective shares of Preferred Stock shall be reduced on a pro rata basis such that the aggregate number of votes of the shares of Preferred Stock, after taking into account the votes attributable to all voting securities of the Corporation then held by such Holder and such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Attribution Parties prior to the applicable date of determination, is equal to the Voting Cap.
(c) In any event, and notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, as long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, (i) alter, waive or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate of Designation, (ii) authorize or create or issue any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation senior to, or otherwise pari passu with, the Preferred Stock, (iii) increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock, or (iv) amend its articles of incorporation or bylaws or file any articles of amendment, certificate of designation, preferences, limitations and relative rights of any series of preferred stock in any manner that adversely affects any rights given to this Preferred Stock regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to its articles of incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise.
Section 1.3 Dividends. From and after the issuance date of such Preferred Stock, the Holders on the record date fixed for holders of Common Stock for dividends or distributions (or, in the event no such date is fixed prior to the first Preferential Dividend Record Date occurring following such dividends or distributions, on such Preferential Dividend Record Date) shall be entitled to receive, concurrently with any dividends or distributions, such dividends or distributions paid to the holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if such Holders had converted the Preferred Stock into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion) and had held such shares of Common Stock on such record date. The Preferred Stock shall not otherwise be entitled to any dividends or distributions.
Section 1.4 Conversion.
(a) Conversions at Option of Holder. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof at the option of the Holder thereof, into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Preferred Stock, by the Conversion Price (as defined below). Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”), and, only if the full or remaining number of shares of Preferred Stock represented by the certificate are being converted, but without delaying the Corporation’s requirement to deliver shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.5(c), by surrendering such certificate or certificates as soon as practicable on or following the delivery of the applicable Notice of Conversion (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such Preferred Stock certificates in the case of its loss, theft, destruction or mutilation in compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.7(c)). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers by electronic mail such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. Shares of Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.
(b) Conversion Price.
(i) The conversion price for the Preferred Stock shall equal $8.22, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”).
(c) Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock designated in the applicable Notice of Conversion (the “Conversion Shares”) being acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on Nasdaq Capital Market or other national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed (as applicable, the “Principal Market”) with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Conversion.
(ii) Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the applicable Share Delivery Date, such Holder shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to such Holder the shares of Preferred Stock delivered to the Corporation and such Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Notice of Conversion. In the event of such rescission, the Corporation shall be obligated to pay accrued liquidated damages but there shall be no obligation to pay liquidated damages following such rescission with respect to the prior default by the Corporation for the rescinded Notice of Conversion. In addition, if, on or after the applicable Share Delivery Date, such Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that such Holder anticipated receiving from the Corporation, then the Corporation shall, within two (2) Trading Days after such Holder’s request and in such Holder’s discretion, either (x) pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to such Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver such certificate or credit such Holder’s balance account with Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) for the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of the applicable shares of Preferred Stock shall terminate, or (y) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to such Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for such shares of Common Stock and pay cash to such 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 Common Stock, times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed.
(iii) Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim or recoupment; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Corporation of any such action that the Corporation may have against such Holder. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of its Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Preferred Stock of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained, and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 150% of the Stated Value of Preferred Stock which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment in its favor. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. If the Corporation fails to deliver to a Holder such Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 1.5(c)(i) on the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Corporation shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Stated Value of the Preferred Stock being converted, $10 per month (and increasing to $20 per month on the second month, but not to exceed, in aggregate, $100 per share) for each month after the Share Delivery Date until such Conversion Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other section hereof or under applicable law. As used herein, “Person” means an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind.
(iv) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. From and after the Subscription Date until the date no shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for issuances pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designation, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders of the Preferred Stock, not less than 100% of such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect (without regard to any limitation on conversions) (the “Required Reserved Amount”). The Corporation shall, so long as any of the Preferred Stock remains outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuing shares of Common Stock with respect of the Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designation, no less than a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Required Reserved Amount. If at any time while any of the Preferred Stock remains outstanding the Corporation does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserved Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Corporation shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Corporation’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Corporation to reserve the Required Reserved Amount for the Preferred Stock then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Corporation shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Corporation shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its Board to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Corporation is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the Corporation may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) an Information Statement on Schedule 14C. The Corporation covenants that all Conversion Shares shall, when issued, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
(v) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which the Holders would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Corporation shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but consistent with the provisions of this subsection with respect to fractional Conversion Shares, nothing shall prevent any Holder from converting fractional shares of Preferred Stock.
(vi) Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid. The Corporation shall pay all transfer agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion.
(d) Conversion Limitations.
(i) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Preferred Stock, and each Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of such Holder’s Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s affiliates (such Persons, collectively, the “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Stated Value of Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Preferred Stock) beneficially owned by such Holder and each of its Attribution Parties. For purposes of this Section 1.5(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”). To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 1.5(d)(i) applies, the determination of whether the Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Attribution Parties) and of how many shares of Preferred Stock are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the shares of Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Attribution Parties) and how many shares of the Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Corporation shall be entitled to rely on such representation. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Section 1.5(d)(i), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation, Vstock Transfer, LLC (the “Transfer Agent”) setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Corporation shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including the Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be, with respect to each Holder, 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding and/or the then combined voting power of all of the voting securities of the Corporation immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock held by such Holder.
(ii) No Strict Construction. The provisions of this Section 1.5 shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms hereof to correct such provisions (or any portions thereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended limitations contained in Sections 1.5(d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitations, and shall be interpreted in a way to as to be consistent with the rules and regulations of the Principal Market. The limitations contained in Sections 1.5(d) shall apply to a successor ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of Preferred Stock.
Section 1.5 Certain Adjustments.
(a) Certain Adjustments to Conversion Price.
(i) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Corporation or the subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock (such securities, the “Common Stock Equivalents”), (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, the Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 1.6(b)(i) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. If the Corporation, at any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding, authorizes and issues an additional class of common, with dividend and voting rights at a ratio different than the existing class of Common Stock (the “New Common Stock”), then the Preferred Stock will automatically become convertible, at the election of such Holder, into shares of the New Common Stock at an adjusted Conversion Price proportional to the then-current Conversion Price multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of votes per share of the class of New Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the number of votes per share of the existing class of Common Stock.
(ii) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above, if at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any common stock equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then, the holder of Preferred Stock thereof will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the holder of Preferred Stock could have acquired if the holder Preferred Stock had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of such holder’s Preferred Stock (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Stock and assuming the Preferred Stock are convertible as of the applicable date of determination) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such purchase and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for such Holder, so long as such Holder promptly elects to exercise such Purchase Right when notified of the applicable transaction and provides payment for the exercise of such Purchase Rights in advance (which payment shall be held in abeyance for such Holder).
(iii) Redemption Right.
(A) Upon a Trading Failure (as defined below), the Corporation shall within two (2) Business Days deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail (a “Trading Failure Notice”) to the Holders. At any time within five (5) Trading Days of the Holder’s receipt of a Trading Failure Notice (or at such time by which the Corporation would be required to deliver a Trading Failure Notice), such Holder may require the Corporation to redeem (a “Redemption”) all or any portion of such Holder’s Preferred Stock by delivering written notice thereof (“Redemption Notice”) to the Corporation, which Redemption Notice shall indicate the Preferred Stock such Holder is electing to require the Corporation to redeem.
(B) At any time on or after January 22, 2027, either (i) the Corporation may redeem or (ii) any Holder may require the Corporation to redeem, all or any portion of such Holder’s Preferred Stock (the “Time-Based Redemption Right”) by delivering a Redemption Notice to the other party, which Redemption Notice shall indicate the Preferred Stock the Corporation or the Holder is electing to redeem.
(C) Any Preferred Stock subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 1.6(b)(iii) shall be redeemed by the Corporation on the applicable Redemption Date (as defined below) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds at a price equal to the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below).
(D) Other than as specifically permitted by this Certificate of Designation, the Corporation may not prepay or redeem any portion of the outstanding Preferred Stock of a Holder without such Holder’s prior written consent. Upon receipt of the full Redemption Price in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds by the Holders of then outstanding shares Preferred Stock, all such shares of Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding. If a Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, and if on the applicable Redemption Date, the applicable Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor to such Holders in a timely manner, then all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the applicable Holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest.
(E) As used herein:
(1) “Business Day” means any day except any Saturday, any Sunday, any day which is a federal legal holiday in the United States or any day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close; provided, however, for clarification, commercial banks shall not be deemed to be authorized or required by law to remain closed due to “stay at home”, “shelter-in-place”, “non-essential employee” or any other similar orders or restrictions or the closure of any physical branch locations at the direction of any governmental authority so long as the electronic funds transfer systems (including for wire transfers) of commercial banks in The City of New York generally are open for use by customers on such day.

2. Registration.
(a) Registration Statement.
(i) No later than June 1, 2026 (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC one Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities which, for the avoidance of doubt, may also register the sale or issuance of primary securities. Subject to any SEC comments, such Registration Statement shall include the plan of distribution, substantially in the form and substance, set forth in Part III of the Purchasers’ Selling Stockholder Questionnaire, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C; provided, however, that no Purchaser shall be named as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without such Purchaser’s prior written consent. Such Registration Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided in accordance with Section 3(c) to each Purchaser prior to its filing or other submission.
(ii) The Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(a)(i) shall be on Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of the Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on such other form as is available to the Company and (ii) so long as the Registrable Securities remain outstanding, promptly following the date (the “Qualification Date”) upon which the Company becomes eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities for resale, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the Qualification Date (the “Qualification Deadline”), file a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities (or a post-effective amendment on Form S-3 to a registration statement on Form S-1) (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable thereafter; provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.
(b) Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses associated with each Registration Statement, including filing and printing fees, the Company’s counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws and listing fees, but excluding discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold. The Company shall not be responsible for legal fees incurred by the Purchasers of the Registrable Securities in connection with the performance of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents.
(c) Effectiveness.
(i) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof, but in any case on or prior to the 30th calendar day following the Filing Deadline (or the 60th calendar day if the SEC reviews such Registration Statement) (the “Effectiveness Deadline”). By 5:30 p.m. (Eastern time) on the second Business Day following the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall file with the SEC, in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act, the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Company shall notify each Purchaser by e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours, after the Registration Statement is declared effective and shall simultaneously provide each Purchaser with access to a copy of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby to the extent a copy of such Prospectus has not been publicly filed with the SEC.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Company shall not be required to request effectiveness of such Registration Statement, for a period of up to sixty (60) days, if (A) the Company determines 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) the Company determines such registration would render the Company unable to comply with applicable securities laws, (C) the Company determines 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; and (ii) the Company may, upon written notice to any holder of Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement, suspend the use of the Registration Statement, including any Prospectus that forms a part of the Registration Statement, if the Company (X) 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, (Y) the Company determines it must amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the related Prospectus so that such Registration Statement or Prospectus shall 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 or (Z) the Company has experienced or is experiencing some other material non-public event, including a pending transaction involving the Company, the disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith judgment of the Company, would adversely affect the Company; provided, however, in no event shall holders of Registrable Securities be suspended from selling Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement for a period that exceeds 60 consecutive Trading Days or 120 total Trading Days in any 365-day period (any such suspension contemplated by this Section 2(c)(ii), an “Allowed Delay”) provided, that the Company shall promptly (1) notify each Purchaser in writing of the commencement of an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent of a Purchaser) disclose to such Purchaser any material nonpublic information giving rise to an Allowed Delay (it being understood that the notice of suspension may constitute material nonpublic information), (2) advise the Purchasers in writing to cease all sales under such Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (3) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable. Upon disclosure of such information or the termination of the condition described above, the Company shall provide prompt notice to 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 hereby.
(d) Effect of Failure to File and Obtain Effectiveness of Registration Statement.
(i) If a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline, the Company will make pro rata payments to each Purchaser then holding Registrable Securities, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty (the “Registration Liquidated Damages”), in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate amount invested by such Purchaser for the initial day of failure to file such Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline and for each subsequent 30-day period (pro rata for any portion thereof) thereafter during which no such Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such payments shall be made to each Purchaser then holding Registrable Securities in cash no later than thirty (30) Business Days after the end of the date of the initial failure to file such Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline and each subsequent 30-day period (pro rata for any portion thereof) thereafter until such Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities. Interest shall accrue at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month on any such liquidated damages payments that shall not be paid by the applicable payment date until such amount is paid in full.
(ii) If (A) a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the SEC prior to the earlier of (1) five (5) Business Days after the SEC informs the Company that no review of such Registration Statement will be made or that the SEC has no further comments on such Registration Statement or (2) the Effectiveness Deadline or (B) after a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC or otherwise becomes effective, sales cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of a stop order or the Company’s failure to update such Registration Statement), but excluding any Allowed Delay or the inability of any Purchaser to sell the Registrable Securities covered thereby due to market conditions (each of (A) and (B), a “Maintenance Failure”), then the Company will make pro rata payments to each Purchaser then holding Registrable Securities, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty (the “Maintenance Liquidated Damages” and together with the Registration Liquidated Damages, the “Liquidated Damages”), in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate amount invested by such Purchaser for the Registrable Securities then held by such Purchaser for the initial day of a Maintenance Failure and for each 30-day period (pro rata for any portion thereof) thereafter until the Maintenance Failure is cured. The Maintenance Liquidated Damages shall be paid monthly within thirty (30) Business Days of the date of such Maintenance Failure and the end of each subsequent 30-day period (pro rata for any portion thereof) thereafter until the Maintenance Failure is cured. Such payments shall be made to each Purchaser then holding Registrable Securities in cash. Interest shall accrue at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month on any such liquidated damages payments that shall not be paid by the applicable payment date until such amount is paid in full.
(iii) The parties agree that (A) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Purchase Agreement, no Liquidated Damages shall be payable with respect to any period after the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (as defined below) (it being understood that this sentence shall not relieve the Company of any Liquidated Damages accruing prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period), and in no event shall the aggregate amount of Liquidated Damages payable to a Purchaser exceed, in the aggregate, two percent (2%) of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (B) in no event shall the Company be liable in any thirty (30) day period for Liquidated Damages under this Agreement in excess of one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and each Purchaser agree that the Company will not be liable for any Liquidated Damages under this Section 2(d) with respect to any Registrable Securities held by the Purchasers consisting of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants or the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock prior to the issuance thereof. The Liquidated Damages described in this Section 2(d) shall constitute the Purchasers’ exclusive monetary remedy for any failure to meet the Filing Deadline and for any Maintenance Failure, but shall not affect the right of the Purchasers to seek injunctive relief.
(e) Rule 415; Cutback. If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act (provided, however, the Company shall be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09) or requires any Purchaser to be named as an “underwriter,” the Company shall (i) promptly notify each holder of Registrable Securities thereof and (ii) make commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that such Purchaser is not an “underwriter.” No such written submission with respect to this matter shall be made to the SEC to which the Purchasers’ counsel reasonably objects. In the event that, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 2(e), the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from such Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Company shall not name any Purchaser as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Purchaser. Any cut-back imposed on any Purchasers pursuant to this Section 2(e) shall be allocated among the Purchasers on a pro rata basis and shall be applied first to any of the Registrable Securities of each Purchaser as such Purchaser shall designate, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require or provide or such Purchaser otherwise agrees. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Purchaser shall provide the Company with prompt written notice of its sale of substantially all of the Registrable Securities under such Registration Statement such that the Company will be able to file one or more additional Registration Statements covering the Cut Back Shares. From and after the date as the Company is able to effect the registration of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions applicable to such Cut Back Shares (such date, the “Restriction Termination Date”), all of the provisions of this Section 2 (including the Company’s obligations with respect to the filing of a Registration Statement and its obligations to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective within the time periods set forth herein) shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares; provided, however, that (i) the Filing Deadline for such Registration Statement including such Cut Back Shares shall be fifteen (15) Business Days after such Restriction Termination Date, and (ii) the date by which the Company is required to obtain effectiveness with respect to such Cut Back Shares shall be the 30th calendar day immediately after the Restriction Termination Date (or the 60th calendar day if the SEC reviews such Registration Statement).
(f) Other Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in the Purchase Agreement, with respect to any Purchaser (as to such Purchaser only) the Filing Deadline and the Effectiveness Deadline for the Registration Statement shall be extended and any failure to obtain or maintain effectiveness shall be automatically waived by no action of the Purchaser, in each case, without default by the Company to such Purchaser hereunder in the event that the Company’s failure to make such filing or obtain or maintain such effectiveness results from the failure of such Purchaser to timely provide the Company with information requested by the Company and necessary to complete the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act (in which case any such deadline would be extended with respect to all Registrable Securities until such time as the Purchaser provides such requested information), it being understood that the failure of such Purchaser to timely provide such information to the Company shall not affect the rights of other Purchasers, if any, herein.
3. Company Obligations. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain continuously effective until such time as there are no longer Registrable Securities held by the Purchaser (the “Effectiveness Period”) and advise the Purchasers promptly in writing when the Effectiveness Period has expired;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby;
(c) provide via email to each Purchaser who has supplied the Company with email addresses each Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto not less than three (3) Trading Days prior to their filing with the SEC and reflect in each such document when so filed with the SEC such comments regarding such Purchaser and the plan of distribution as such Purchaser may reasonably and promptly propose no later than two (2) Trading Days after such Purchaser has been so furnished with copies of such documents as aforesaid;
(d) furnish to each Purchaser whose Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, if requested by such Purchaser, one (1) copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to the Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a Prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as each Purchaser may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Purchaser (it being understood and agreed that such documents, or access thereto, may be provided electronically);
(e) use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment;

(h) promptly notify the Purchasers, at any time prior to the end of the Effectiveness Period, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing (provided that such notice shall not, without the prior written consent of the receiving Purchaser, disclose any material non-public information regarding the Company, with Purchasers acknowledging that the notice itself may constitute material non-public information), and as promptly as reasonably practicable, prepare, file with the SEC and furnish to such holder a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that such Prospectus shall 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 not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;
(i) otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof, with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly inform the Purchasers in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Purchasers are required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder; and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than the Availability Date (as defined below), an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve (12) months, beginning after the effective date of each Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, including Rule 158 promulgated thereunder (for the purpose of this subsection 3(i), “Availability Date” means the 45th day following the end of the fourth fiscal quarter that includes the effective date of such Registration Statement, except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter is the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the 90th day after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter);
(j) if requested by a Purchaser, (i) as soon as reasonably practicable, incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as such Purchaser reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) as soon as reasonably practicable, supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by a Purchaser holding any Registrable Securities; and
(k) with a view to making available to the Purchasers the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit each Purchaser to sell shares of Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) make and keep adequate current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) six months after such date as all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction by the holders thereof pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as there are no longer Registrable Securities; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and (iii) furnish electronically to the Purchasers upon request, as long as such Purchaser owns any Registrable Securities, (A) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, (B) unless otherwise available via the SEC’s ▇▇▇▇▇ filing system, a copy of or electronic access to the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail such Purchaser of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration.
4. Due Diligence Review; Information. If a Purchaser is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an “underwriter,” the Company shall, upon reasonable prior notice, make available, during normal business hours, for inspection and review by the Purchaser, advisors to and representatives of the Purchaser (who may or may not be affiliated with the Purchaser and who are reasonably acceptable to the Company) (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and all other corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”) as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of such review, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees, within a reasonable time period, to supply all such information reasonably requested by the Inspectors (including, without limitation, in response to all questions and other inquiries reasonably made or submitted by any of them), prior to and from time to time after the filing and effectiveness of the Registration Statement for the sole purpose of enabling such Purchaser and its accountants and attorneys to conduct such initial and ongoing due diligence solely for the purpose of establishing a due diligence defense to underwriter liability under the Securities Act; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to such Purchaser) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the Securities Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement. Each Purchaser agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, except in the case such Records are sought in the course of an ordinary examination or inspection of the business or operations of such Purchaser or its Affiliates by such governmental body of competent jurisdiction, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and any Purchaser) shall be deemed to limit the Purchasers’ ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information to any Purchaser, or to advisors to or representatives of such Purchaser, unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and provides the Purchaser, such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review and the Purchaser, if wishing to obtain such information, enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect thereto.
5. Obligations of the Purchasers.
(a) Each Purchaser shall execute and deliver a Selling Stockholder Questionnaire prior to the Closing Date. Each Purchaser shall additionally furnish in writing to the Company such other information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Purchaser of the additional information the Company reasonably requires from such Purchaser if such Purchaser elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement (the “Registration Information Notice”). A Purchaser shall provide such information to the Company no later than two (2) Business Days following receipt of a Registration Information Notice if such Purchaser elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. It is agreed and understood that it shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of any Purchaser that (i) such Purchaser furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities, and (ii) such Purchaser execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request, including, without limitation, a waiver of its registration rights hereunder to the extent a Purchaser elects not to have any of its Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.
(b) Each Purchaser, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Purchaser has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement.
(c) Each Purchaser agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of either (i) the commencement of an Allowed Delay pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii) or (ii) the happening of an event pursuant to Section 3(h) hereof, such Purchaser will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until such Purchaser is advised by the Company that such dispositions may again be made.
(d) Each Purchaser covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
6. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and its officers, directors, members, managers, partners, trustees and employees, successors and assigns, and each other Person, if any, who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, trustees and employees of each such controlling Person, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorney fees), joint or several, to which they may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, (ii) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration, and will reimburse such Purchaser, and each such officer, director, member, employee and each such controlling person for any legal or other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished to the Company by an indemnified person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, (ii) the use by a Purchaser of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Purchaser in writing that such Prospectus is outdated or defective or (iii) a Purchaser’s failure to send or give a copy of the Prospectus or supplement (as then amended or supplemented), if required (and not exempted) to the Persons asserting an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities.
(b) Indemnification by the Purchasers. Each Purchaser agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information regarding such Purchaser and furnished in writing by such Purchaser to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of a Purchaser be greater than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Purchaser in connection with a claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Purchaser upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person, or (C) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that 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 of such claim or litigation.
(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by the Company and the Required Purchasers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment to the definition of “Filing Deadline,” Section 2(d) or Section 6 will only apply with respect to a Purchaser if such Purchaser has consented in writing to such amendment. The Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company shall have obtained the written consent to such amendment, action or omission to act, of the Required Purchasers.
(b) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made as set forth in Section 5.5 of the Purchase Agreement.
(c) Assignments and Transfers by Purchasers. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Purchaser and its successors and permitted assigns. A Purchaser may not transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more persons its rights or delegate its obligations hereunder in connection with the transfer of Registrable Securities by such Purchaser to any person other than a Permitted Transferee, provided that (i) such Purchaser agrees in writing with the Permitted Transferee to assign such rights and delegate such obligations and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (A) the name and address of such Permitted Transferee and (B) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the Permitted Transferee is restricted under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the Permitted Transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein as a Purchaser hereunder; and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Purchase Agreement.
(d) Assignments and Transfers by the Company. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Company (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers, provided, however, that in the event that the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar business combination transaction in which the Common Stock is converted into the equity securities of another Person, from and after the effective time of such transaction, such Person shall, by virtue of such transaction, be deemed to have assumed the obligations of the Company hereunder, the term “Company” shall be deemed to refer to such Person and the term “Registrable Securities” shall be deemed to include the securities received by a Purchaser in connection with such transaction unless such securities are otherwise freely tradable by such Purchaser after giving effect to such transaction.
(e) Benefits of the Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties hereto. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
(f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. ESIGN Act of 2000 or the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act, e.g., ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
(g) Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.
(h) Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof but shall be interpreted as if it were written so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which renders any provisions hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
(i) Further Assurances. The parties shall execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents and take all such other actions as may reasonably be required to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and to evidence the fulfillment of the agreements herein contained.
(j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is 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. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
(k) Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement (including all matters concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation hereof) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in each case sitting in New York County, for the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Service of process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to the laying of venue in such court. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. To the extent that the Company has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise) from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, the Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such immunity in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND REPRESENTS THAT COUNSEL HAS BEEN CONSULTED SPECIFICALLY AS TO THIS WAIVER.
(l) Interpretation. Wherever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular shall include the plural and vice versa, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders and vice versa, and references to any agreement, document or instrument shall be deemed to refer to such agreement, document or instrument as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time. All article, section, paragraph or clause references not attributed to a particular document shall be references to such parts of this Agreement, and all exhibit, annex, letter and schedule references not attributed to a particular document shall be references to such exhibits, annexes, letters and schedules to this Agreement. In addition, the word “or” is not exclusive; the words “including,” “includes,” “included” and “include” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation;” and the terms “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section, paragraph or subdivision.
(m) Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. To the extent the registration rights set forth in this Agreement are assigned by a Purchaser with respect to any of the Registrable Securities such that such Permitted Transferee becomes a Purchaser hereunder and assumes all the rights and obligations under this Agreement, the obligations of each Purchaser hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser hereunder, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Purchasers are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among Purchasers.

PART III – PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling securityholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees or other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions under this prospectus. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The selling securityholders may use one or more of the following methods when disposing of the shares or interests therein:
|
● |
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
|
● |
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
● |
through brokers, dealers or underwriters that may act solely as agents; |
|
● |
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
● |
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
|
● |
privately negotiated transactions; |
|
● |
short sales and settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part; |
|
● |
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
|
● |
broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
|
● |
a combination of any such methods of disposition; and |
|
● |
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling securityholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 or Rule 904 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, if available, or Section 4(a)(1) under the Securities Act, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling securityholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling securityholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling securityholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The selling securityholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under a supplement or amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling securityholders under this prospectus.
Upon being notified in writing by a selling securityholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling securityholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon being notified in writing by a selling securityholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, we will file a supplement to this prospectus if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.
The selling securityholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of the shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock, the selling securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling securityholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling securityholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales (it being understood that the selling securityholders shall not be deemed to be underwriters solely as a result of their participation in this offering). In such event, any profits realized by such selling securityholders or compensation received by such broker-dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The maximum commission or discount to be received by any member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) or independent broker-dealer will not be greater than 8% of the initial gross proceeds from the sale of any security being sold.
We have advised the selling securityholders that they are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, during such time as they may be engaged in a distribution of the shares. The foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock.
The aggregate proceeds to the selling securityholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling securityholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling securityholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or otherwise.
We have agreed with the selling securityholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (a) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement and (b) such time as none of the shares covered by this prospectus constitute “registrable securities”, as such term is defined in the registration rights agreement by and among us and the selling securityholders.

FOOTNOTES
|
1. |
Beneficial Ownership. You are the beneficial owner of a security, as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), if you, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise have or share: (1) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, such security, and/or (2) investment power, which includes the power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, such security. You are also the beneficial owner of a security if you, directly or indirectly, create or use a trust, proxy, power of attorney, pooling arrangement or any other contract, arrangement or device with the purpose or effect of divesting yourself of beneficial ownership of a security or preventing the vesting of such beneficial ownership. |
You are deemed to be the beneficial owner of a security if you have the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security at any time within 60 days including, but not limited to, any right to acquire such security (a) through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (b) through the conversion of a security, or (c) pursuant to the automatic termination of, or the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account, or similar arrangement.
Ordinarily, shares held in the name of your spouse or minor child should be considered as beneficially owned by you absent special circumstances to indicate that you do not have, as a practical matter, voting power or investment power over such shares. Similarly, absent countervailing facts, securities held in the name of relatives who share your home are to be reported as being beneficially owned by you. In addition, securities held for your benefit in the name of others, such as nominees, trustees and other fiduciaries, securities held by a partnership of which you are a partner, and securities held by a corporation controlled by you should be regarded as beneficially owned by you.
This definition of beneficial ownership is very broad; therefore, even though you may not actually have or share voting or investment power with respect to securities owned by persons in your family or living in your home, you should include such shares in your beneficial ownership disclosure and may then disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities.
|
2. |
Associate. The term “associate”, as defined in Rule 14a-1 under the Exchange Act, means (a) any corporation or organization (other than the Company or any of its majority owned subsidiaries) of which you are an officer or partner or are, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of equity securities, (b) any trust or other estate in which you have a substantial beneficial interest or as to which you serve as trustee or in a similar capacity, and (c) your spouse, or any relative of yours or relative of your spouse living in your home or who is a director or officer of the Company or of any subsidiary. The term “relative of yours” as used in this Questionnaire refers to any relative or spouse of yours, or any relative of such spouse, who has the same home as you or who is a director or officer of any subsidiary of the Company. |

Please note that indirect as well as direct material interests in transactions are to be disclosed. Transactions in which you would have a direct interest would include your purchasing or leasing anything (stock in a business acquired by the Company, office space, plants, Company apartments, computers, raw materials, finished goods, etc.) from or selling or leasing anything to, or borrowing or lending cash or other property from or to, the Company, or any subsidiary. |
Exhibit I
Securities Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations Section 239.10: “An issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of common stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling shareholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement becomes effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.”

PART III – PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling securityholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees or other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions under this prospectus. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The selling securityholders may use one or more of the following methods when disposing of the shares or interests therein:
|
● |
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
|
● |
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
● |
through brokers, dealers or underwriters that may act solely as agents; |
|
● |
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
● |
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
|
● |
privately negotiated transactions; |
|
● |
short sales and settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part; |
|
● |
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
|
● |
broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
|
● |
a combination of any such methods of disposition; and |
|
● |
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling securityholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 or Rule 904 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, if available, or Section 4(a)(1) under the Securities Act, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling securityholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling securityholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling securityholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The selling securityholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under a supplement or amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling securityholders under this prospectus.
Upon being notified in writing by a selling securityholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling securityholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon being notified in writing by a selling securityholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, we will file a supplement to this prospectus if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.
The selling securityholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of the shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock, the selling securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling securityholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling securityholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales (it being understood that the selling securityholders shall not be deemed to be underwriters solely as a result of their participation in this offering). In such event, any profits realized by such selling securityholders or compensation received by such broker-dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The maximum commission or discount to be received by any member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) or independent broker-dealer will not be greater than 8% of the initial gross proceeds from the sale of any security being sold.
We have advised the selling securityholders that they are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, during such time as they may be engaged in a distribution of the shares. The foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock.
The aggregate proceeds to the selling securityholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling securityholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling securityholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or otherwise.
We have agreed with the selling securityholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (a) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement and (b) such time as none of the shares covered by this prospectus constitute “registrable securities”, as such term is defined in the registration rights agreement by and among us and the selling securityholders.

FOOTNOTES
|
1. |
Beneficial Ownership. You are the beneficial owner of a security, as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), if you, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise have or share: (1) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, such security, and/or (2) investment power, which includes the power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, such security. You are also the beneficial owner of a security if you, directly or indirectly, create or use a trust, proxy, power of attorney, pooling arrangement or any other contract, arrangement or device with the purpose or effect of divesting yourself of beneficial ownership of a security or preventing the vesting of such beneficial ownership. |
You are deemed to be the beneficial owner of a security if you have the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security at any time within 60 days including, but not limited to, any right to acquire such security (a) through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (b) through the conversion of a security, or (c) pursuant to the automatic termination of, or the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account, or similar arrangement.
Ordinarily, shares held in the name of your spouse or minor child should be considered as beneficially owned by you absent special circumstances to indicate that you do not have, as a practical matter, voting power or investment power over such shares. Similarly, absent countervailing facts, securities held in the name of relatives who share your home are to be reported as being beneficially owned by you. In addition, securities held for your benefit in the name of others, such as nominees, trustees and other fiduciaries, securities held by a partnership of which you are a partner, and securities held by a corporation controlled by you should be regarded as beneficially owned by you.
This definition of beneficial ownership is very broad; therefore, even though you may not actually have or share voting or investment power with respect to securities owned by persons in your family or living in your home, you should include such shares in your beneficial ownership disclosure and may then disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities.
|
2. |
Associate. The term “associate”, as defined in Rule 14a-1 under the Exchange Act, means (a) any corporation or organization (other than the Company or any of its majority owned subsidiaries) of which you are an officer or partner or are, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of equity securities, (b) any trust or other estate in which you have a substantial beneficial interest or as to which you serve as trustee or in a similar capacity, and (c) your spouse, or any relative of yours or relative of your spouse living in your home or who is a director or officer of the Company or of any subsidiary. The term “relative of yours” as used in this Questionnaire refers to any relative or spouse of yours, or any relative of such spouse, who has the same home as you or who is a director or officer of any subsidiary of the Company. |
Please identify your associate referred to in your answer and indicate your relationship.
|
3. |
Immediate Family. The members of your “immediate family” are deemed to include the following: your spouse; your parents; your children; your siblings; your mother-in-law or father-in-law; your sons- and daughters-in-law; and your brothers- and sisters-in-law. |
|
4. |
Transactions. The term “transaction” is to be understood in its broadest sense, and includes the direct or indirect receipt of anything of value. Please note that indirect as well as direct material interests in transactions are to be disclosed. Transactions in which you would have a direct interest would include your purchasing or leasing anything (stock in a business acquired by the Company, office space, plants, Company apartments, computers, raw materials, finished goods, etc.) from or selling or leasing anything to, or borrowing or lending cash or other property from or to, the Company, or any subsidiary. |

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).
d) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company’s transfer agent is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder and the Holder has provided all reasonably requested documentation or (B) if the Warrant is exercised on a cashless basis, the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company, if applicable, and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period, in each case (i) or (ii), after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise by delivering written notice to the Company at any time prior to the delivery of such Warrant Shares (in which case any liquidated damages payable under Section 2(d)(i) shall no longer be payable).
iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent), and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including reasonable and customary brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
e) ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, (A) to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of 9.99%, or 19.99% on an aggregate basis with all of the other Purchasers (together with each such Purchaser’s respective Attribution Parties) in the Offering (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding and/or the then combined voting power of all of the Company’s voting securities immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”) and (B) if at the time of such exercise, such exercise would violate, or would result in a violation by the Company of, any Nasdaq Stock Market Rule (and any successor to the Nasdaq Stock Market and any other trading market on which the Common Stock is listed), including, without limitation, Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635(b) relating to a change of control; provided, that, with respect to clause (A) above, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains (x) stockholder approval for a change of control with respect to the Holder and such stockholder approval remains valid pursuant to the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules (and any successor to the Nasdaq Stock Market and any other trading market on which the Common Stock is listed) and such exercise otherwise satisfies the requirements of Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635 with respect to issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant or any other warrant held by the Holder or (y) a waiver of such Beneficial Ownership Limitation is received from Nasdaq and such waiver remains valid.
In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and its Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and its Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the applicable Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the Exercise Price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by any Attribution Party for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability.
To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Maximum Percentage, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no liability for exercises of the Warrant that are not in compliance with the Maximum Percentage. The Company shall have the sole right to enforce the provisions of Section 2(e). The provisions of this Section 2(e) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation or the application of the rules of Nasdaq. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to any successor holder and transferee of this Warrant and all the Warrant Shares issued or issuable upon exercise of all Warrants outstanding (together with their Affiliates and any of the other Attribution Parties), as applicable.
g) Additional Limitation on Exercise. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Warrant to the contrary, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, if the Holder or any Affiliates or Attribution Parties owns any shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) or any shares of the Company’s Common Stock into which such Preferred Stock has been converted or may be convertible from time to time.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends, Subdivision, Combinations and Consolidations. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (in whole or in part): (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock (or other class of Capital Stock of the Company then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (or such other class of Capital Stock) (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock (or such other class of Capital Stock) issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock (or other class of Capital Stock of the Company then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines or consolidates (including, without limitation, by reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock (or other class of Capital Stock of the Company then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) into a smaller number of shares, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price immediately before the applicable corporate action by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and thereafter the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or consolidation. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (in whole or in part) distributes rights on shares of its Common Stock (or other class of Capital Stock of the Company then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) in connection with a shareholder rights plan, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 3 and any such rights shall accompany the Warrant Shares issued pursuant to this Warrant if such shareholder rights plan remains in effect.
b) Reclassifications, Reorganizations, Consolidations, Mergers and Sales. In the event of (i) any capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) any reclassification or recapitalization of the stock of the Company (other than (x) a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or (y) as a result of a stock dividend, subdivision, combination or consolidation of shares as to which Section 3(a) shall apply), (iii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock or any other class of Capital Stock then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), (iv) any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (v) any similar transaction, this Warrant shall remain outstanding and, after such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (“Alternate Consideration”) of the Company or of the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or sale, or surviving such merger, if any, to which the holder of the number of Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant (at the time of such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2) would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction. In such event, the aggregate Exercise Price otherwise payable for the shares of Common Stock (or such other class of Capital Stock) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be allocated among the Alternative Consideration receivable as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, in proportion to the respective fair market values of such Alternate Consideration. If and to the extent that the holders of Common Stock (or such other class of Capital Stock) have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, then the consideration that the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise shall be specified by the Holder, which specification shall be made by the Holder by the later of (A) ten (10) Business Days after the Holder is provided with a final version of all material information concerning such choice as is provided to the holders of Common Stock (or such other class of Capital Stock), and (B) the last time at which the holders of Common Stock (or such other class of Capital Stock) are permitted to make their specifications known to the Company; provided, however, that if the Holder fails to make any specification within such time period, the Holder’s choice shall be deemed to be whatever choice is made by a plurality of all holders of Common Stock (or such other class of Capital Stock) that are not affiliated with the Company (or, in the case of a consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, any other party thereto) and affirmatively make an election (or of all such holders if none of them makes an election). From and after any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, all references to “Warrant Shares” herein shall be deemed to refer to the Alternate Consideration to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 3(b). The provisions of this clause shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizations, consolidations, mergers or sales.
c) Other Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) other than any dividend or distribution referred to in Section 3(a) or Section 3(b) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that such participation by the Holder in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then, at such time, the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such later time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage). To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant.
d) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock (or such other Company security as is then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (or such other Company security) (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding on such date.
e) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly send to the Holder a notice setting forth (x) the Exercise Price, number of Warrant Shares and, if applicable, the kind and amount of Alternate Consideration purchasable hereunder after such adjustment and (y) the facts requiring such adjustment in reasonable detail.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, by the later of 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified and the date the applicable record or effective date is publicly announced, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
f) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, provides to the Company an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the transfer of this Warrant does not require registration under the Securities Act.
e) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is exercisable, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
e) Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies.
h) Notices. All notices referred to herein shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of receipt thereof or three (3) Business Days after the mailing thereof if sent by registered or certified mail with postage prepaid, or by private courier service addressed: (i) if to the Company, to its office at Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc., ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (Attention: [***]), (ii) if to [Holder] at any such time [Holder] is the Holder, to its office at [Address] (Attention: [•]), (iii) if to any Holder other than [Holder], to such Holder at the address of such Holder as listed in the stock record books of the Company or (iv) to such other address as the Company or any such Holder, as the case may be, shall have designated by notice similarly given.
i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
j) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
k) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holder, on the other hand.
l) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
m) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
n) Electronic Signatures. Electronically scanned and transmitted signatures, including by email attachment, shall be deemed originals for all purposes of this Warrant.

Form of Accredited Investor Questionnaire
EKSO BIONICS HODLINGS, INC.
ACCREDITED INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE
The undersigned understands that the purpose of this Questionnaire is to permit Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. (“Ekso” or the “Company”) to determine whether the undersigned is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The undersigned represents to the Company that (i) the information contained herein is complete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Company, and (ii) the undersigned will notify the Company immediately of any change in any of such information.
All information furnished is for the sole use of the Company and its counsel and will be held in confidence by the Company and its counsel, except that this Questionnaire may be furnished to such parties as the Company deems desirable to establish compliance with federal or state securities laws.
A. For Individuals:
The undersigned individual is an “accredited investor” for one or more of the following reasons (check all that apply):
☐ The undersigned is an individual (not a partnership, corporation, etc.) whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with his or her spousal equivalent (a cohabitant occupying a relationship generally equivalent to that of a spouse), presently exceeds $1,000,000. For purposes of the foregoing, “net worth” means the excess of total assets at fair market value (including personal and real property, but excluding the estimated fair market value of a person's primary home) over total liabilities. Total liabilities excludes any mortgage on the primary home in an amount of up to the home's estimated fair market value as long as the mortgage was incurred more than 60 days before the securities being offered (the “Securities”) are purchased, but includes (i) any mortgage amount in excess of the home's fair market value and (ii) any mortgage amount that was borrowed during the 60-day period before the closing date for the sale of Securities for the purpose of investing in the Securities. “Joint net worth” can be the aggregate net worth of a person and spouse or spousal equivalent; assets do not need to be held jointly to be included in the calculation.
☐ The undersigned is an individual (not a partnership, corporation, etc.) who had (i) an individual income in excess of $200,000 or (ii) joint income together with his or her spousal equivalent (a cohabitant occupying a relationship generally equivalent to that of a spouse) in excess of $300,000, in each of the two most recent years and reasonably expect to reach the same income level in the current year. For purposes of the foregoing, “income” is not limited to “adjusted gross income” as that term is defined for federal income tax purposes, but rather includes certain items of income which are deducted in computing “adjusted gross income”. For investors who are salaried employees, the gross salary of such investor, minus any significant expenses personally incurred by such investor in connection with earning the salary, plus any income from any other source including unearned income, is a fair measure of “income” for purposes of this question. For investors who are self-employed, “income” is generally construed to mean total revenues received during the calendar year minus significant expenses incurred in connection with earning such revenues.
☐ The undersigned is a director, executive officer, or general partner of the Company, or any director, executive officer, or general partner of a general partner of the Company.
☐ The undersigned holds in good standing one or more of the following certifications, designations and/or credentials:
☐ General Securities Representative license (Series 7)
☐ Private Securities Offerings Representative license (Series 82)
☐ Investment Adviser Representative license (Series 65)
☐ The undersigned is a “knowledgeable employee” as defined in Rule 3c-5(a)(4) under the Investment Company Act as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) with respect to the Company.
☐ The undersigned individual is not an “accredited investor” because none of the above apply.
B. For Entities:
The undersigned is an “accredited investor” because the undersigned falls within at least one of the following categories (check all that apply):
☐ A bank as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act or a savings and loan association or other institution as defined in Section 3(a)(5)(A) of the Securities Act whether acting in its individual or fiduciary capacity.
☐ A broker-dealer registered pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
☐ An insurance company as defined in Section 2(a)(13) of the Securities Act.
☐ An investment company registered under the Investment Company Act or a business development company as defined in Section 2(a)(48) of the Investment Company Act.
☐ A Small Business Investment Company licensed by the U.S. Small Business Administration under Section 301(c) or (d) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958.
☐ A plan established and maintained by a state, its political subdivisions, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or its political subdivisions, for the benefit of its employees, where such plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000.
☐ An employee benefit plan within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (the “Employee Act”), where the investment decision is made by a plan fiduciary, as defined in Section 3(21) of the Employee Act, which is either a bank, savings and loan association, insurance company, or registered investment adviser, or an employee benefit plan that has total assets in excess of $5,000,000 or a self-directed plan the investment decisions of which are made solely by persons that are accredited investors.
☐ A private business development company, as defined in Section 202(a)(22) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 as amended (the “Advisers Act”).
☐ An organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, a corporation, a Massachusetts or similar business trust, a partnership, or a limited liability company, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000.
☐ A trust, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities, whose purchase is directed by a “sophisticated” person, who has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment.
☐ An entity, of a type not listed above, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities, owning “investments”, as defined in Rule 2a51-1(b) under the Investment Company Act, in excess of $5,000,000.
☐ A “family office" (as defined in Rule 202(a)(11)(G)-1 under the Advisers Act), (i) with assets under management in excess of $5,000,000, (ii) that is not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities, and (iii) whose prospective investment is directed by a person who has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such family office is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment (a “Family Office”).

☐ An investment adviser relying on the exemption from registering with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 203(l) or (m) of the Advisers Act.
☐ A “Rural Business Investment Company” as defined in Section 384A of the Farm and Rural Development Act.
☐ The undersigned is an entity all the equity owners of which, whether directory or indirectly, are “accredited investors” within one or more of the above categories. If relying upon this Category alone, each equity owner that qualifies as an “accredited investors” must complete and deliver a separate copy of this Questionnaire. (Describe the entity below).
