Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 5, 2024, Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors as purchasers (the “Investors”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to sell, and the Investors have agreed to purchase, for approximately $30 million (collectively, the “Purchase Price”), of which approximately $22.5 million will be paid in cash and approximately $7.5 million will be converted from a previous loan to the Company, certain secured promissory notes (the “Secured Notes”), warrants (the “Warrants”) and incremental warrants (the “Incremental Warrants”, together with the Secured Notes, the Warrants, the “Financing Documents”) in two closings. The initial closing is expected to occur on or around September 11, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Secured Notes.

Secured Notes

Maturity Date; Interest.

Pursuant to the Secured Notes, interest shall commence accruing on the date thereof at the interest rate of 10% per annum (the “Interest Rate”) and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and shall be payable on a Conversion Date with respect to the Conversion Amount being converted on such Conversion Date, with any remaining accrued and unpaid Interest payable on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date thereof (the “Maturity Date”) (each, an “Interest Date”).

Interest shall be payable on each Interest Date, to the noteholders on the applicable Interest Date, in shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) so long as there has been no Equity Conditions Failure; provided however, that the Company may, at its option following notice to the noteholders, pay Interest on any Interest Date in cash or in a combination of cash and shares. Prior to the payment of Interest on an Interest Date, interest on this Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable by way of inclusion of the Interest in the Conversion Amount on each Conversion Date, or upon any redemption, unless in the event of an event of default, in which case the interest rate of the Secured Notes shall automatically be increased to 18% per annum (“Interest Adjustments”). In the event such default has been cured, such Interest Adjustments shall cease to be effective as of the calendar day immediately following the date of such cure; provided that the interest as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance of that certain default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such default through and including the date of such cure of such default.

The Maturity Date may be extended by the noteholders under circumstances specified therein. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the noteholder an amount in cash representing all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest on such principal and interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges. Other than as specifically permitted by the Secured Note, the Company may not prepay any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued, unpaid interest or accrued and unpaid Late Charges on principal and interest, if any.

Conversion

Conversion at Option of Holder

Each holder of Secured Notes may convert all, or any part, of the outstanding principal of the Secured Notes, at any time at such holder’s option, into shares of Common Stock, at a conversion price per share of $5.24 (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment under certain circumstances described in the Secured Notes.

Alternate Conversion

Each holder may alternatively elect to convert the Secured Notes, at any time at such holder’s option, into shares of our Common Stock at the “Alternate Conversion Price” equal to the lesser of:

●

the Conversion Price then in effect; and

●

the greater of:

the floor price of 1.048; and

the volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five Trading Days ending and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable conversion notice.

Limitations on Conversion

Beneficial Ownership Limitation. A holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of a Secured Note to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the holder (together with certain related parties) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99%, or the “Maximum Percentage”, of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. The Maximum Percentage may be raised or lowered to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, at the option of the holder, except that any increase will only be effective upon 61 days’ prior notice to us.

Exchange Cap Limitation. Unless we obtain the approval of our stockholders in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market, a maximum of 3,260,603 shares of our common stock (19.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on September 5, 2024) shall be issuable upon conversion or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Secured Notes.

Redemption Rights

Company Optional Redemption. The Company has the option to redeem the Secured Notes at a 10% redemption premium to the greater of (i) the shares of our Common Stock then outstanding under the Secured Notes and (ii) the equity value of our Common Stock underlying the Notes. The equity value of our Common Stock underlying the Notes is calculated using the greatest closing sale price of our Common Stock during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding notice of such redemption and ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made for such redemption.

Bankruptcy Event of Default Mandatory Redemption. Upon any bankruptcy event of default, we shall immediately redeem in cash all amounts due under the Secured Notes at 25% premium unless the holder waives such right to receive such payment.

Casualty Event Redemption. Upon receipt of certain casualty proceeds, each holder of Secured Notes may require us to redeem in cash with the net proceeds therefrom, the lesser of (x) a 10% redemption premium (or 25% if an event of default has then occurred and is continuing) to the shares of our Common Stock then outstanding under the Secured Notes and (y) all of the proceeds of such casualty event.

Asset Sale Redemption. Upon the occurrence of certain asset sales, each holder of Secured Notes may require us to redeem in cash with the net proceeds therefrom, the lesser of (x) a 10% redemption premium (or 25% if an event of default has then occurred and is continuing) to the shares of our Common Stock then outstanding under the Secured Notes and (y) all of the proceeds of such asset sale.

Extraordinary Receipt Redemption. Upon the receipt of an Extraordinary Receipt, each holder of Secured Notes may require us to redeem in cash with the net proceeds therefrom, the lesser of (x) a 10% redemption premium (or 25% if an event of default has then occurred and is continuing) to the shares of our Common Stock then outstanding under the Secured Notes and (y) all of the net cash proceeds of such Extraordinary Receipt.

Ranking; Security Interest.

The Secured Notes will be junior secured obligations of the Company and will be secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company, pursuant to a security agreement. In addition, certain subsidiaries of the Company (each, a “Subsidiary Grantor”) in the Purchase Agreement secured the Company’s obligations under the Financing Documents by granting a perfected lien upon substantially all of the personal property of each Subsidiary Grantor, for the benefit of the Investors. The Company is utilizing the proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes and working capital.

Registration Rights.

The Company has agreed to file a registration statement providing for the resale by the Investors of all shares issuable pursuant to the Financing Documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, within forty-five (45) calendar days of the date of the Purchase Agreement or as soon as practicable thereafter, seek effectiveness within 90 days following the date of the Purchase Agreement, and keep such registration statement effective at all times until no Investors owns any Warrants or shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof.

Warrants.

The Warrants are exercisable immediately on the date thereof with a term of five (5) years to purchase an aggregate of 5,725,191 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.29, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances described in the Warrants.

The Incremental Warrants are exercisable immediately on the date thereof with a term of one (1) year to purchase the Secured Notes at an exercise price of equal to the principal amount of the Secured Notes issued to such Purchaser, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances described in the Incremental Warrants.

The Company has agreed to issue certain placement agent warrants (“PA Warrants”) to Univest Securities LLC, the sole placement agent of this transaction. The PA Warrants are exercisable immediately on the date thereof with a term of five (5) years to purchase an aggregate of 214,695 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.29, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances described in the PA Warrants.

Limitations on Exercise. A holder of the Warrants and PA Warrants shall not have the right to exercise any portion of these warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the holder (together with certain related parties) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99%, or the “Maximum Percentage”, of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. The Maximum Percentage may be raised or lowered to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, at the option of the holder, except that any increase will only be effective upon 61 days’ prior notice to us.

The issuance of the Secured Notes and Warrants is being made in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering, and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement registering the resale by the Investors of the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Secured Notes and exercise of the Warrants.

They are not intended to provide any other factual information about the parties to the transaction documents or any of their respective affiliates.

Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Holder and any permitted assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $6.29, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

c) Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder, then this Warrant may only be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

(A)

as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise, or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

(B)

the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X)

the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

If (A-B) is less than zero, then the number of Warrant Shares to be delivered to the Holder shall equal zero. 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 Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c)

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 permitted assignee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company 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 Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrant), or otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its permitted assignee, 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 two (1) Trading Day 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 payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within two (2) Trading Days following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company is then a participant in DWAC and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise and the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the 3^rd Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $5 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after such 3^rd Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable.

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 3^rd Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

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 3^rd Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, 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 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 Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock 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 of any permitted transferee(s) 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 processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for 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) Holder’s Exercise Limitations.

i. 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, 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 the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities or instruments of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. 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 reasonable 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 Beneficial Ownership Limitation, 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. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of a Holder, the Company shall within three (3) Trading Days confirm in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities or instruments of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61^st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph 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 Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a permitted successor holder of this Warrant.

ii. Subject to Section 4.21(b) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Issuer shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to the exercise set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Issuer would not have a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock to effect such exercise (an “Authorized Share Shortfall”). The Issuer shall provide reasonably prompt notice to the Holder in the event of an Authorized Share Shortfall.

f) Issuance Restrictions. If the Company has not obtained Stockholder Approval or the financial viability exception pursuant to NASDAQ Rule 5635(d) for the issuance of the Securities under the Purchase Agreement, then the Company may not issue upon exercise of this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock, which, when aggregated with any shares of Common Stock issued (i) pursuant to the conversion of any Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) upon prior exercise of this or any other Warrant issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, would exceed 3,262,234, subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of the Purchase Agreement (such number of shares, the “Issuable Maximum”). The Holder and the holders of the other Warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement shall be entitled to a portion of the Issuable Maximum ratably based on the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Holder’s original Subscription Amount for all Notes by (y) the aggregate original Subscription Amount of all holders of Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, the Holder may re-allocate its pro-rata portion of the Issuable Maximum among Notes and Warrants held by it in its sole discretion provided that such re-allocation will not cause the Issuable Maximum to be exceeded.

g) Call Provision. Subject to the provisions of Section 2(e), Section 2(f) and this Section 2(g), if, after the Effective Date, (i) the VWAP for each of 20 Trading Days our of 30 consecutive Trading Days (the “Measurement Period,” which 30 consecutive Trading Day period shall not have commenced until after the Effective Date) exceeds $[•] (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like after the Initial Exercise Date), (ii) the Holder is not in possession of any information that constitutes, or might constitute, material non-public information which was provided by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates, and (iii) the Equity Conditions are then satisfied, then the Company may, within 1 Trading Day of the end of such Measurement Period, call for cancellation of all or any portion of this Warrant for which a Notice of Exercise has not yet been delivered (such right, a “Call”) for consideration equal to $0.01 per Warrant Share. To exercise this right, the Company must deliver to the Holder an irrevocable written notice (a “Call Notice”), indicating therein the portion of unexercised portion of this Warrant to which such notice applies. If the conditions set forth below for such Call are satisfied from the period from the date of the Call Notice through and including the Call Date (as defined below), then any portion of this Warrant subject to such Call Notice for which a Notice of Exercise shall not have been received by the Call Date will be cancelled at 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the tenth Trading Day after the date the Call Notice is received by the Holder (such date and time, the “Call Date”). Any unexercised portion of this Warrant to which the Call Notice does not pertain will be unaffected by such Call Notice. In furtherance thereof, the Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Exercise with respect to Warrant Shares subject to a Call Notice that are tendered through 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date. The parties agree that any Notice of Exercise delivered following a Call Notice which calls less than all of the Warrants shall first reduce to zero the number of Warrant Shares subject to such Call Notice prior to reducing the remaining Warrant Shares available for purchase under this Warrant. For example, if (A) this Warrant then permits the Holder to acquire 100 Warrant Shares, (B) a Call Notice pertains to 75 Warrant Shares, and (C) prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date the Holder tenders a Notice of Exercise in respect of 50 Warrant Shares, then (x) on the Call Date the right under this Warrant to acquire 25 Warrant Shares will be automatically cancelled, (y) the Company, in the time and manner required under this Warrant, will have issued and delivered to the Holder 50 Warrant Shares in respect of the exercises following receipt of the Call Notice, and (z) the Holder may, until the Termination Date, exercise this Warrant for 25 Warrant Shares (subject to adjustment as herein provided and subject to subsequent Call Notices). Subject again to the provisions of this Section 2(g), the Company may deliver subsequent Call Notices for any portion of this Warrant for which the Holder shall not have delivered a Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, the Company may not deliver a Call Notice or require the cancellation of this Warrant (and any such Call Notice shall be void), unless, from the beginning of the Measurement Period through the Call Date, (1) the Company shall have honored in accordance with the terms of this Warrant all Notices of Exercise delivered by 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date, and (2) the Registration Statement shall be effective as to all Warrant Shares and the prospectus thereunder available for use by the Holder, or Rule 144 shall be available without time, volume or manner of sale limitations, for the resale of all such Warrant Shares, (3) the Common Stock shall be listed or quoted for trading on the Trading Market, and (4) there is a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance of all Securities under the Transaction Documents, and (5) the issuance of all Warrant Shares subject to a Call Notice shall not cause a breach of any provision of Section 2(e) or Section 2(f) herein. The Company’s right to call the Warrants under this Section 2(g) shall be exercised ratably among the Holders based on each Holder’s initial purchase of Warrants.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse share split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) 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 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 re-classification.

(b) Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell, enter into an agreement to sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (other than Excluded Stock), at an effective price per share less than the Exercise Price then in effect (such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance” and such price, the “Base Price”)) (it being understood and agreed that if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance at such effective price), then simultaneously with the consummation of each Dilutive Issuance the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 3(b) in respect of Excluded Stock or any adjustment pursuant to Section 3(a). The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance or deemed issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 3(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the adjusted Exercise Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Exercise Price in the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2(b), “effective price per share” shall take into consideration the value of any Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents, securities transferred to a third-party by other stockholders of the Company including Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, cash, rights or any other form of additional consideration (“Secondary Security”) that is issued or paid in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (the “Primary Security”, and together with the Secondary Security, each a “Unit”), together comprising one integrated transaction (or series of related transactions if such issuances or sales or deemed issuances or sales of securities of the Company are consummated under the same plan of financing), the “effective price per share” (i.e. Base Price) shall be deemed to be the lowest of (y) if such Primary Security is a Common Stock Equivalent, the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Primary Security and (z) the purchase price of such Unit less the value of the Secondary Unit (assuming for such purposes the value of any options or warrants are valued at the Black Scholes Value but using the date of the Dilutive Issuance for such purposes rather than the date of the Fundamental Transaction); provided, that if the value determined pursuant to clause (y) above would result in a value less than the par value of the Common Stock, then the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued or sold for the par value of the Common Stock. If any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration other than cash received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities or Common Stock (including Common Stock transferred from existing third-party stockholder), in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the volume weighted average price of such publicly traded securities on the date of receipt of such publicly traded securities. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be reasonably and in good faith determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10^th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder acting reasonable and in good faith. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne equally by the Company and the Holder.

(c) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another unaffiliated Person or group of unaffiliated Persons, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions to another unaffiliated Person or group of unaffiliated Persons, (iii) any direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (by another unaffiliated Person or group of unaffiliated Persons) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property in connection with a transaction involving an unaffiliated Person or group of unaffiliated Persons, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another unaffiliated Person or group of unaffiliated Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time within 10 days prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant at the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company, as of the date of consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall, at the Company’s option exercisable on or before the 10^th day prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction by written notice to the Holder, purchase this Warrant from the Holder at the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, following the exercise of such right by the Company the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant until the third (3^rd) Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction and the Company shall honor such exercises pursuant to the terms hereunder. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the volatility obtained for the remaining exercise period as obtain from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 252-day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, provided that if the Common Stock is not traded on a national securities exchange as of the public announcement of such Fundamental Transaction, then such volatility shall be determined by an independent valuation firm reasonably acceptable to (and the costs of such independent valuation firm shall be split by) the Company and the Holder, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration (determined in accordance with the last two sentences of Section 3(b) above), if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) upon the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided that if there is a disagreement between the Company and the Holder with respect to the Black Scholes Value, then such Black Scholes Value shall be determined by an independent valuation firm reasonably acceptable to (and the costs of such independent valuation firm shall be split by) the Company and the Holder.

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 deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

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 deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. 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, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, 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. 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) Minimum Exercise Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3, in no event will the Exercise Price of this Warrant be adjusted to an amount that is less than the Minimum Exercise Price.

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof, 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, the form and substance of which opinion shall be 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. 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). Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c), 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 share 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 share certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or share certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or share 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 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).

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, subject to Section 2(e)(ii) hereof and Section 4.21 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, intentionally avoid or intentionally seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such commercially reasonable actions in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares (or Alternative Consideration after a Fundamental Transaction) upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the Exercise Price, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

e) CFIUS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, at no time shall the Holder (a) be given rights that would allow it to control the Company; (b) have access to any material nonpublic technical information in the possession of the Company; (c) have the right to appoint any member or observer to the board of directors of the Company; or (d) be involved, other than through voting of shares, in the Company’s substantive decisionmaking regarding (i) the use, development, acquisition, safekeeping, or release of sensitive personal data of U.S. citizens that the Company maintains or collects; (ii) the use, development, acquisition, or release of critical technologies; or (iii) the management, operation, manufacture, or supply of covered investment critical infrastructure, to the extent the Company at any time owns, operates, provides goods or service, or otherwise becomes involved in covered investment critical infrastructure. The terms in this paragraph are defined as they are defined in Section 721 of the U.S. Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended, and the regulations at 31 C.F.R Part 800, as they may be amended from time to time.

f) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of this Warrant shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant. If any party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

g) 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.

h) Nonwaiver. 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.

a) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by email, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at the address set forth above Attention: Legal Department, email address Legal@ff.com, or such other email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by email, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the email address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, or if no such email address appears on the books of the Company. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email at the email address set forth in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email at the email address set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be 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) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to seek specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

k) 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 permitted Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by such Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

m) 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.

n) 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.

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric, Inc.

Secured Convertible Note

Issuance Date: [ ]

Original Principal Amount: U.S. $[●]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Faraday Future Intelligent Electric, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [BUYER] or its registered assigns (“Holder”) the amount set forth above as the Original Principal Amount (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date, or upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest (“Interest”) on any outstanding Principal at the applicable Interest Rate (as defined below) from the date set forth above as the Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon the Maturity Date or upon acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). This Secured Convertible Note (including all Secured Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Note”, together with the Other Notes (as defined below), collectively, the “Notes”) was issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 5, 2024 (the “Subscription Date”), by and among the Company and the purchasers (the “Buyers”) referred to therein (as amended from time to time, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). As used herein, the term “Other Notes” shall mean the Secured Convertible Notes other than this Note issued to a Buyer pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section ‎32.

1. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest on such Principal and Interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges (as defined in Section 25(c)). Other than as specifically permitted by this Note, the Company may not prepay any portion of the outstanding Principal and accrued, unpaid Interest or accrued and unpaid Late Charges on Principal and Interest, if any.

2. INTEREST; INTEREST RATE.

(a) Interest on this Note shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and shall be payable on a Conversion Date with respect to the Conversion Amount being converted on such Conversion Date, with any remaining accrued and unpaid Interest payable on the Maturity Date (each, an “Interest Date”). Interest shall be payable on each Interest Date, to the record holder of this Note on the applicable Interest Date, in shares of Common Stock (“Interest Shares”) so long as there has been no Equity Conditions Failure; provided however, that the Company may, at its option following notice to the Holder, pay Interest on any Interest Date in cash (“Cash Interest”) or in a combination of Cash Interest and Interest Shares. The Company shall deliver a written notice (each, an “Interest Election Notice”) to each holder of the Notes on or prior to the Trading Day immediately prior to such applicable Interest Date (the date such notice is delivered to all of the holder, the “Interest Election Notice Date”) which notice (i) either (A) confirms that Interest to be paid on such Interest Date shall be paid entirely in Interest Shares or (B) elects to pay Interest as Cash Interest or a combination of Cash Interest and Interest Shares and specifies the amount of Interest that shall be paid as Cash Interest and the amount of Interest, if any, that shall be paid in Interest Shares and (ii) certifies that there has been no Equity Conditions Failure. If an Equity Conditions Failure has occurred as of the Interest Election Notice Date, then unless the Company has elected to pay such Interest as Cash Interest, the Interest Election Notice shall indicate that unless the Holder waives the Equity Conditions Failure, the Interest shall be paid as Cash Interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if no Equity Conditions Failure has occurred as of the Interest Election Notice Date but an Equity Conditions Failure occurs at any time prior to the Interest Date, (A) the Company shall provide the Holder a subsequent notice to that effect and (B) unless the Holder waives the Equity Conditions Failure, the Interest shall be paid in cash. Interest to be paid on an Interest Date in Interest Shares shall be paid in a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares (rounded to the nearest whole share in accordance with Section 3(a)) of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (1) the amount of Interest payable on such Interest Date less any Cash Interest paid and (2) the Alternate Conversion Price in effect on the applicable Interest Date.

(b) When any Interest Shares are to be paid on an Interest Date, the Company shall (i) (A) provided that the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of Interest Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver on the applicable Interest Date, to the address set forth in the register maintained by the Company for such purpose pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement or to such address as specified by the Holder in writing to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Date, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Interest Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled and (ii) with respect to each Interest Date, pay to the Holder, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of any Cash Interest.

(c) Prior to the payment of Interest on an Interest Date, Interest on this Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable by way of inclusion of the Interest in the Conversion Amount on each Conversion Date in accordance with Section ‎3(b)(i) or upon any redemption in accordance with Section 11 or any required payment upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Interest Rate shall automatically be increased to eighteen percent (18.0%) per annum (the “Default Rate”). In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured (and no other Event of Default then exists, including, without limitation, for the Company’s failure to pay such Interest at the Default Rate on the applicable Interest Date), the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the calendar day immediately following the date of such cure; provided that the Interest as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of such cure of such Event of Default.

3. CONVERSION OF NOTES. At any time after the Issuance Date, this Note shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section ‎3.

(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section ‎3‎(d), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section ‎3‎(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent (as defined below)) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.

(b) Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”).

(i) “Conversion Amount” means the sum of (A) such portion of the Principal of this Note to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made, (B) accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Principal of this Note, (C) accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Principal of this Note and Interest, and (D) any other unpaid amounts pursuant to the Transaction Documents, if any.

(ii) “Conversion Price” means, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, $5.24, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(i) Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall deliver (whether via electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (each, a “Conversion Notice”) to the Company. If required by Section ‎3‎(c)‎(iii), within two (2) Trading Days following a conversion of this Note as aforesaid, the Holder shall surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as contemplated by Section ‎19(b)). On the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice and representation as to whether such shares of Common Stock may then be resold pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective and available registration statement (each, an “Acknowledgement”) to the Holder and the Transfer Agent which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received a Conversion Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated on the applicable Conversion Date of such shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Conversion Notice) (the “Share Delivery Deadline”), the Company shall (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”), credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, upon the request of the Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii) and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than one (1) Business Day after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Note (in accordance with Section ‎19(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

(ii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Deadline, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of this Note (as the case may be) (a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (1) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such Share Delivery Deadline that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to 1% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline and to which the Holder is entitled, multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Conversion Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Deadline and (2) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned (as the case may be) any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice, provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section ‎3(c)(ii) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (II) below, and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline the Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) shares of Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Conversion Failure (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either: (I) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (II) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (x) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (y) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (II) (the “Buy-In Payment Amount”). Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(iii) Registration; Book-Entry. The Company shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each Note and the principal amount of the Notes held by such holders (the “Registered Notes”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes (including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of Principal and Interest hereunder) notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Registered Note may be assigned, transferred or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell all or part of any Registered Note by the holder thereof, the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate principal amount as the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Note to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section ‎19, provided that if the Company does not so record an assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be) of all or part of any Registered Note within two (2) Business Days of such a request, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section ‎3, following conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted (in which event this Note shall be delivered to the Company following conversion thereof as contemplated by Section ‎3(c)(i)) or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal, Interest and Late Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions, and/or payments (as the case may be) or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion. If the Company does not update the Register to record such Principal, Interest and Late Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions, and/or payments (as the case may be) within two (2) Business Days of such occurrence, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such occurrence.

(iv) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Notes for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes submitted for conversion, the Company, subject to Section ‎3(d), shall convert from each holder of Notes electing to have Notes converted on such date a pro rata amount of such holder’s portion of its Notes submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of all Notes submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section ‎24.

(d) Limitations on Conversions.

(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section ‎3(d)(i). For purposes of this Section ‎3(d)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the conversion of this Note without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives a Conversion Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section ‎3(d)(i), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion of this Note results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61^st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61^st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Notes that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to convert this Note pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section ‎3(d)(i) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section ‎3(d)(i) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

(ii) Principal Market Regulation The Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of the Notes or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note (as the case may be) without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the number of shares which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations, including rules related to the aggregate of offerings under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(d), the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount or (B) obtains a written opinion from counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. Until such approval or such written opinion is obtained, no Buyer shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion or exercise (as the case may be) of any Notes or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Notes, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (i) the Exchange Cap as of the Issuance Date multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (1) the original principal amount of Notes issued to such Buyer pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) divided by (2) the aggregate original principal amount of all Notes issued to the Buyers pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date (with respect to each Buyer, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Buyer shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Buyer’s Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Buyer’s Exchange Cap Allocation with respect to such portion of such Notes so transferred, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation so allocated to such transferee. Upon conversion in full of a holder’s Notes, the difference (if any) between such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder upon such holder’s conversion in full of such Notes shall be allocated, to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Notes on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes then held by each such holder of Notes.

(e) Right of Alternate Conversion.

(i) General.

(1) Alternate Optional Conversion. Subject to Section ‎3(d), at any time, at the option of the Holder, the Holder may convert (each, an “Alternate Optional Conversion”, and the date of such Alternate Optional Conversion, an “Alternate Optional Conversion Date”) all, or any part, of this Note into shares of Common Stock (such portion of the Conversion Amount subject to such Alternate Optional Conversion, the “Alternate Optional Conversion Amount”) at the Alternate Conversion Price.

(2) Alternate Conversion Upon an Event of Default. Subject to Section ‎3(d), at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default (regardless of whether such Event of Default has been cured, or if the Company has delivered an Event of Default Notice to the Holder or if the Holder has delivered an Event of Default Redemption Notice to the Company or otherwise notified the Company that an Event of Default has occurred), the Holder may, at the Holder’s option, convert (each, an “Alternate Event of Default Conversion” and together with each Alternate Optional Conversion, each, an “Alternate Conversion”, and the date of such Alternate Event of Default Conversion, each, an “Alternate Event of Default Conversion Date”, and together with each Alternate Optional Conversion Date, each, an “Alternate Conversion Date”) all, or any part of, the Conversion Amount (such portion of the Conversion Amount subject to such Alternate Conversion, the “Alternate Event of Default Conversion Amount” and together with each Alternate Optional Conversion Amount, each, an “Alternate Conversion Amount”) into shares of Common Stock at the Alternate Conversion Price.

(ii) Mechanics of Alternate Conversion. On any Alternate Conversion Date, the Holder may voluntarily convert any Alternate Conversion Amount pursuant to Section ‎3(c) (with “Alternate Conversion Price” replacing “Conversion Price” for all purposes hereunder with respect to such Alternate Conversion and, solely with respect to the calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount in an Alternate Event of Default Conversion, with “Redemption Premium of the Conversion Amount” replacing “Conversion Amount” in clause (x) of the definition of Conversion Rate above with respect to such Alternate Conversion) by designating in the Conversion Notice delivered pursuant to this Section ‎3(e) of this Note that the Holder is electing to use the Alternate Conversion Price for such conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section ‎3(e), but subject to Section ‎3(d), until the Company delivers shares of Common Stock representing the applicable Alternate Conversion Amount to the Holder, such Alternate Conversion Amount may be converted by the Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section ‎3(c) without regard to this Section ‎3(e). In the event of an Alternate Conversion pursuant to this Section ‎3(e) of all, or any portion, of this Note, the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section ‎3(e), together the Alternate Conversion Price used in such Alternate Conversion, as applicable, is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of, the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

4. RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.

(a) Event of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” and each of the events in clauses ‎(vii), ‎(viii) and ‎(ix) shall constitute a “Bankruptcy Event of Default”:

At any time after the earlier of the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default (such earlier date, the “Event of Default Right Commencement Date”) and ending (such ending date, the “Event of Default Right Expiration Date”, and each such period, an “Event of Default Redemption Right Period”) on the twentieth (20^th) Trading Day after the later of (x) the date such Event of Default is cured and (y) the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice that includes (I) a reasonable description of the applicable Event of Default, (II) a certification as to whether, in the opinion of the Company, such Event of Default is capable of being cured and, if applicable, a reasonable description of any existing plans of the Company to cure such Event of Default and (III) a certification as to the date the Event of Default occurred and, if cured on or prior to the date of such Event of Default Notice, the applicable Event of Default Right Expiration Date, the Holder may require the Company to redeem (regardless of whether such Event of Default has been cured on or prior to the Event of Default Right Expiration Date) all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (the “Event of Default Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Note the Holder is electing to redeem. Each portion of this Note subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section ‎4(b) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount to be redeemed multiplied by (B) the Redemption Premium and (ii) the product of (X) the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount in effect at such time as the Holder delivers an Event of Default Redemption Notice multiplied by (Y) the product of (1) the Redemption Premium multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such Event of Default and ending on the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under this Section ‎4(b) (the “Event of Default Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section ‎4(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section ‎11. To the extent redemptions required by this Section ‎4(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(b), but subject to Section 3(d), until the Event of Default Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section ‎4(b) (together with any Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Note. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section ‎4(b), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section ‎4(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. Any redemption upon an Event of Default shall not constitute an election of remedies by the Holder, and all other rights and remedies of the Holder shall be preserved.

(c) Mandatory Redemption upon Bankruptcy Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and notwithstanding any conversion that is then required or in process, upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default, whether occurring prior to or following the Maturity Date, the Company shall immediately pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing (i) all outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges on such Principal and Interest, multiplied by (ii) the Redemption Premium, in addition to any and all other amounts due hereunder, without the requirement for any notice or demand or other action by the Holder or any other person or entity, provided that the Holder may, in its sole discretion, waive such right to receive payment upon a Bankruptcy Event of Default, in whole or in part, and any such waiver shall not affect any other rights of the Holder hereunder, including any other rights in respect of such Bankruptcy Event of Default, any right to conversion, and any right to payment of the Event of Default Redemption Price or any other Redemption Price, as applicable.

5. RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION.

(a) Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section ‎5(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Notes in exchange for such Notes a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Notes, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal to the principal amounts then outstanding and the interest rates of the Notes held by such holder, having similar conversion rights as the Notes and having similar ranking and security to the Notes, and satisfactory to the Holder and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of this Note at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections ‎6 and ‎16, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the conversion or redemption of the Notes prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Note been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section ‎5(a) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Note. The provisions of this Section ‎5 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note.

(b) Notice of a Change of Control; Redemption Right. No sooner than twenty (20) Trading Days nor later than ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date”), but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice or the Holder becoming aware of a Change of Control if a Change of Control Notice is not delivered to the Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence (as applicable) and ending on twenty (20) Trading Days after the later of (A) the date of consummation of such Change of Control or (B) the date of receipt of such Change of Control Notice or (C) the date of the announcement of such Change of Control, the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section ‎5 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the greatest of (i) the product of (w) the Change of Control Redemption Premium multiplied by (y) the Conversion Amount being redeemed, (ii) the product of (x) the Change of Control Redemption Premium multiplied by (y) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed multiplied by (B) the quotient determined by dividing (I) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock during the period beginning on the date immediately preceding the earlier to occur of (1) the consummation of the applicable Change of Control and (2) the public announcement of such Change of Control and ending on the date the Holder delivers the Change of Control Redemption Notice by (II) the Conversion Price then in effect and (iii) the product of (y) the Change of Control Redemption Premium multiplied by (z) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed multiplied by (B) the quotient of (I) the aggregate cash consideration and the aggregate cash value of any non-cash consideration per share of Common Stock to be paid to the holders of the shares of Common Stock upon consummation of such Change of Control (any such non-cash consideration constituting publicly-traded securities shall be valued at the highest of the Closing Sale Price of such securities as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, the Closing Sale Price of such securities on the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control and the Closing Sale Price of such securities on the Trading Day immediately prior to the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control) divided by (II) the Conversion Price then in effect (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section ‎5 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section ‎11 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with such Change of Control. To the extent redemptions required by this Section ‎5(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section ‎5, but subject to Section ‎3(d), until the Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section ‎5(b) (together with any Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section ‎5(b), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section ‎5(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

6. RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF PURCHASE RIGHTS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS.

(a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Sections ‎7 or ‎16 below, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or substantially all of the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note and assuming for such purpose that the Note was converted at the Alternate Conversion Price as of the applicable record date) immediately prior to 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 Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable) for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable)) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

(b) Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, at the Holder’s option (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Holder. The provisions of this Section ‎6 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.

7. RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES.

(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date the Company grants, issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell), or in accordance with this Section ‎7‎(a) is deemed to have granted, issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the granting, issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities granted, issued or sold or deemed to have been granted, issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such granting, issuance or sale or deemed granting, issuance or sale (such Conversion Price then in effect is referred to herein as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then, immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Conversion Price and the New Issuance Price under this Section ‎7‎(a)), the following shall be applicable:

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants, issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell) any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting, issuance or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section ‎7‎(a)‎(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting, issuance or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option for which one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting, issuance or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof plus the value of any other consideration (including, without limitation, consideration consisting of cash, debt forgiveness, assets or any other property) received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to issue or sell) any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale (or the time of execution of such agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section ‎7‎(a)‎(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale (or pursuant to the agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Convertible Security for which one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale (or the agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable (including, without limitation, any consideration consisting of cash, debt forgiveness, assets or other property) by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, and if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section ‎7‎(a), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.

(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time (other than proportional changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to in Section ‎7(b) below), the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate (as the case may be) at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section ‎7‎(a)‎(i), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (including, without limitation, any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date) are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section ‎7‎(a) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.

(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (as determined by the Holder, the “Primary Security”, and such Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right, the “Secondary Securities”), together comprising one integrated transaction (or one or more transactions if such issuances or sales or deemed issuances or sales of securities of the Company either (A) have at least one investor or purchaser in common, (B) are consummated in reasonable proximity to each other and/or (C) are consummated under the same plan of financing), the aggregate consideration per share of Common Stock with respect to such Primary Security shall be deemed to be equal to the difference of (x) the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock was issued (or was deemed to be issued pursuant to Section ‎7(a)(i) or ‎7(a)(ii) above, as applicable) in such integrated transaction solely with respect to such Primary Security, minus (y) with respect to such Secondary Securities, the sum of (I) the Black Scholes Consideration Value of each such Option, if any, (II) the fair market value (as determined by the Holder in good faith) or the Black Scholes Consideration Value, as applicable, of such Adjustment Right, if any, and (III) the fair market value (as determined by the Holder) of such Convertible Security, if any, in each case, as determined on a per share basis in accordance with this Section ‎7(a)(iv). If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value) will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value) will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value) will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities (as the case may be). The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10^th) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

(v) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).

(b) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. Without limiting any provision of Section ‎6, Section ‎16 or Section ‎7(a), if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provision of Section ‎6, Section ‎16 or Section ‎7(a), if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section ‎7‎(b) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section ‎7‎(b) occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

(c) Holder’s Right of Adjusted Conversion Price. In addition to and not in limitation of the other provisions of this Section ‎7, if the Company in any manner issues or sells or enters into any agreement to issue or sell, any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities (any such securities, “Variable Price Securities”), after the Subscription Date that are issuable pursuant to such agreement or convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock at a price which varies or may vary with the market price of the shares of Common Stock, including by way of one or more reset(s) to a fixed price, but exclusive of such formulations reflecting customary anti-dilution provisions (such as share splits, share combinations, share dividends and similar transactions) (each of the formulations for such variable price being herein referred to as, the “Variable Price”), the Company shall provide written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holder on the date of such agreement and the issuance of such Common Stock, Convertible Securities or Options. From and after the date the Company enters into such agreement or issues any such Variable Price Securities, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to substitute the Variable Price for the Conversion Price upon conversion of this Note by designating in the Conversion Notice delivered upon any conversion of this Note that solely for purposes of such conversion the Holder is relying on the Variable Price rather than the Conversion Price then in effect. The Holder’s election to rely on a Variable Price for a particular conversion of this Note shall not obligate the Holder to rely on a Variable Price for any future conversion of this Note.

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

(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section ‎7 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100^thof a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

(f) Voluntary Adjustment by Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Note, with the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Notes then outstanding (the “Required Holders”), reduce the then current Conversion Price of each of the Notes to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.

8. REDEMPTIONS AT THE COMPANY’S ELECTION.

(a) Company Optional Redemption. At any time no Equity Conditions Failure exists, the Company shall have the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Conversion Amount then remaining under this Note (the “Company Optional Redemption Amount”) on the Company Optional Redemption Date (each as defined below) (a “Company Optional Redemption”). The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section ‎8(a) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (the “Company Optional Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of (i) 110% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed as of the Company Optional Redemption Date and (ii) the product of (1) the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount being redeemed as of the Company Optional Redemption Date multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such Company Optional Redemption Notice Date and ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under this Section ‎8(a). The Company may exercise its right to require redemption under this Section ‎8(a) by delivering a written notice thereof by electronic mail and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the holders of Notes (the “Company Optional Redemption Notice” and the date all of the holders of Notes received such notice is referred to as the “Company Optional Redemption Notice Date”). The Company may deliver only one Company Optional Redemption Notice hereunder and such Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. The Company Optional Redemption Notice shall (x) state the date on which the Company Optional Redemption shall occur (the “Company Optional Redemption Date”) which date shall not be less than fifteen (15) Trading Days nor more than thirty(30) Trading Days following the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date, (y) certify that there has been no Equity Conditions Failure and (z) state the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Notes which is being redeemed in such Company Optional Redemption from the Holder and all of the other holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section ‎8(a) (and analogous provisions under the Other Notes) on the Company Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if no Equity Conditions Failure has occurred as of the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date but an Equity Conditions Failure occurs at any time prior to the Company Optional Redemption Date, (A) the Company shall provide the Holder a subsequent notice to that effect and (B) unless the Holder waives the Equity Conditions Failure, the Company Optional Redemption shall be cancelled and the applicable Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be null and void and (ii) at any time prior to the date the Company Optional Redemption Price is paid, in full, the Company Optional Redemption Amount may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section ‎3. All Conversion Amounts converted by the Holder after the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date shall reduce the Company Optional Redemption Amount of this Note required to be redeemed on the Company Optional Redemption Date. Redemptions made pursuant to this Section ‎8(a) shall be made in accordance with Section ‎11. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section ‎8(a), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section ‎8(a) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no right to effect a Company Optional Redemption if any Event of Default has occurred and continuing, but any Event of Default shall have no effect upon the Holder’s right to convert this Note in its discretion.

(b) Pro Rata Redemption Requirement. If the Company elects to cause a Company Optional Redemption of this Note pursuant to Section ‎8(a), then it must simultaneously take the same action with respect to all of the Other Notes.

9. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Note or the other Transaction Documents, the Company (a) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion of this Note above the Conversion Price then in effect, and (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after the sixty (60) calendar day anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Holder is not permitted to convert this Note in full for any reason (other than pursuant to restrictions set forth in Section ‎3(d) hereof), the Company shall use its best efforts to promptly remedy such failure, including, without limitation, obtaining such consents or approvals as necessary to permit such conversion into shares of Common Stock.

10. RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.

(a) Reservation. So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall at all times reserve at least 125% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion, including without limitation, Alternate Conversions, of all of the Notes then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversions and assuming such Notes remain outstanding until the Maturity Date) at the Alternate Conversion Price then in effect (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The Required Reserve Amount (including, without limitation, each increase in the number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Notes based on the original principal amount of the Notes held by each holder on the Closing Date or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Notes, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Notes shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Notes, pro rata based on the principal amount of the Notes then held by such holders.

(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section ‎10‎(a), and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Notes remain outstanding the Company 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 Notes at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Notes 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 Company 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 Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Note due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorized Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorized Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the redemption of such portion of the Conversion Amount convertible into such Authorized Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorized Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such Authorized Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section ‎10(a); and (ii) to the extent the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Authorized Failure Shares, any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith. Nothing contained in Section ‎10(a) or this Section ‎10(b) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

11. MANDATORY REDEMPTION.

(a) The Company shall provide written notice to the Holder of any Mandatory Redemption Event (as defined below) (each, a “Mandatory Redemption Notice”), including the terms thereof, not later than the second (2^nd) Trading Day after date of consummation of such Mandatory Redemption Event (such date of delivery of such Mandatory Redemption Notice, each a “Mandatory Redemption Notice Date”). Each Mandatory Redemption Notice shall (A) reasonably detail such Mandatory Redemption Event and the calculations of the applicable Mandatory Redemption Price for the Holder and each other holder of Notes and (B) specify the applicable Mandatory Redemption Date; provided, that if the Company, in good faith, is effecting a Permitted Reinvestment (as defined below) in whole or in part, the Company shall specify the date and timing of such Permitted Reinvestment. On or prior to the third (3^rd) Trading Day after such Mandatory Redemption Notice Date (but in no event later than the fifth (5^th) Trading Day after such Mandatory Redemption Event) (each, a “Mandatory Redemption Date”), if (i) the Company or any Subsidiary (or the Collateral Agent as loss payee or assignee) receives any Major Casualty Proceeds in excess of (x) $1,500,000, in the aggregate in any fiscal year and (y) $5,000,000, in the aggregate prior to the Maturity Date (as applicable, each an “Eligible Casualty Event”), (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary receives Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale in excess of (x) $1,500,000, in the aggregate in any fiscal year and (y) $5,000,000, in the aggregate prior to the Maturity Date (as applicable, each an “Eligible Asset Sale”), and/or (iii) the receipt by the Company or any Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Extraordinary Receipt in excess of (x) $1,500,000, in the aggregate in any fiscal year and (y) $5,000,000, in the aggregate prior to the Maturity Date (each, an “Eligible Extraordinary Receipt,” and together with each Eligible Casualty Event and Eligible Asset Sale, each a “Mandatory Redemption Event”), the Company shall pay (each, a “Mandatory Redemption”) the Holder an amount equal to the lesser of (I) 110% (or 125% if an Event of Default then has occurred and is continuing) of the Conversion Amount of this Note then outstanding and (II) (x) with respect to such Eligible Casualty Event, an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Major Casualty Proceeds, (y) with respect to such Eligible Asset Sale, an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Cash Proceeds of such Eligible Asset Sale and/or (z) with respect to such Eligible Extraordinary Receipt, an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds of such Extraordinary Receipt to repay this Note, in whole or in part (as applicable), at a redemption price of 110% (or 125% if an Event of Default then has occurred and is continuing) of the Conversion Amount of such portion of this Note subject to such redemption (each, a “Mandatory Redemption Price”). The Holder may continue to convert the amounts to be prepaid under this Note until the Holder shall have received the Mandatory Redemption Price with respect thereto. The Holder may refuse such payment in whole or in part in its sole discretion, by delivering written notice thereof to the Company at any time prior to the Holder’s receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Price in which case Conversion Amount contemplated to be redeemed pursuant to this section shall be reinstated. This provision is merely a requirement to redeem this Note and not an authorization to consummate any Mandatory Redemption Event otherwise prohibited by the Transaction Documents.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Eligible Casualty Event, at the option of any of the Company or such applicable Subsidiary, the Company or such applicable Subsidiary may (in lieu of making a Mandatory Redemption) elect to reinvest (each, a “Permitted Reinvestment”) an amount equal to all or any portion of such Major Casualty Proceeds or Net Cash Proceeds, so long as the Major Casualty Proceeds and Net Cash Proceeds collectively do not exceed $5,000,000; provided, however, only $10,000,000 with respect to Net Cash Proceeds of any Eligible Casualty Event or Asset Sale, in the aggregate, to repair, replace or reconstruct damaged property or property affected by loss, destruction, damage, condemnation, confiscation, requisition, seizure or taking, or replace such property with other capital assets used or useful in the business of the Company or such applicable Subsidiary within six (6) months following receipt of such Major Casualty Proceeds or Net Cash Proceeds or if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Major Casualty Proceeds or Net Cash Proceeds within six (6) months following receipt of such Major Casualty Proceeds or Net Cash Proceeds, no later than ninety (90) days after the end of such six (6) month period. If any Net Cash Proceeds from such Casualty Event previously designated for such Permitted Reinvestment have not been so reinvested (or committed to be reinvested) prior to the expiration of the applicable period described above, the Company shall promptly make a prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes that are not so reinvested in a Mandatory Redemption in accordance with Section ‎11(a) above, mutatis mutandis (with no right to affect any further Permitted Reinvestment with respect thereto).

12. REDEMPTIONS.

(a) Mechanics. The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder in cash within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice. If the Holder has submitted a Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section ‎5(b), the Company shall deliver the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to the Holder in cash concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise. The Company shall deliver the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price to the Holder in cash on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date. The Company shall deliver the applicable Mandatory Redemption Price to the Holder in cash on the applicable Mandatory Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with any redemption hereunder at a time the Holder is entitled to receive a cash payment under any of the other Transaction Documents, at the option of the Holder delivered in writing to the Company, the applicable Redemption Price hereunder shall be increased by the amount of such cash payment owed to the Holder under such other Transaction Document and, upon payment in full or conversion in accordance herewith, shall satisfy the Company’s payment obligation under such other Transaction Document. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Conversion Amount of this Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section ‎19(d)) representing the outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed. In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the Conversion Amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Conversion Amount, (y) the Company shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section ‎19(d)), to the Holder, and in each case the principal amount of this Note or such new Note (as the case may be) shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between (1) the applicable Redemption Price (as the case may be, and as adjusted pursuant to this Section ‎11, if applicable) minus (2) the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption and (z) the Conversion Price of this Note or such new Notes (as the case may be) shall be automatically adjusted with respect to each conversion effected thereafter by the Holder to the lowest of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is voided and (B) greater of (x) the Floor Price and (y) the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock during the five (5) consecutive Trading Day period ending and including the applicable Conversion Date (it being understood and agreed that all such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during such period). The Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding a Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Late Charges which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Conversion Amount subject to such notice.

(b) Redemption by Other Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice from any of the holders of the Other Notes for redemption or repayment as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section ‎4(b) or Section ‎5(b) (each, an “Other Redemption Notice”), the Company shall immediately, but no later than one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder by facsimile or electronic mail a copy of such notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more Other Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is two (2) Business Days prior to the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s applicable Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is two (2) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s applicable Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all principal, interest and other amounts designated in such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of the Notes (including the Holder) based on the principal amount of the Notes submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the Company during such seven (7) Business Day period.

13. VOTING RIGHTS. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Note, except as required by law (including, without limitation, the Delaware General Corporation Law) and as expressly provided in this Note.

(p) Independent Investigation. At the request of the Holder either (x) at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (y) upon the occurrence of an event that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default or (z) at any time the Holder reasonably believes an Event of Default may have occurred or be continuing, the Company shall hire an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder to investigate as to whether any breach of this Note has occurred (the “Independent Investigator”).

15. SECURITY. This Note and the Other Notes are secured to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the Security Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)).

16. DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Sections ‎6(a) or ‎7, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distributions of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to any or all 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) (the “Distributions”), then the Holder will be entitled to such Distributions as if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note and assuming for such purpose that the Note was converted at the Alternate Conversion Price as of the applicable record date) immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for such Distributions (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

17. AMENDING THE TERMS OF THIS NOTE. Except for Section ‎3(d), which may not be amended, modified or waived by the parties hereto, the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) shall be required for any amendment, modification or waiver to this Note. Any amendment, modification or waiver so approved shall be binding upon all existing and future holders of this Note and any Other Notes; provided, however, that no such change, waiver or, as applied to any of the Notes held by any particular holder of Notes, shall, without the written consent of that particular holder, (i) reduce the amount of Principal, reduce the amount of accrued and unpaid Interest, or extend the Maturity Date, of the Notes, (ii) disproportionally and adversely affect any rights under the Notes of any holder of Notes; or (iii) modify any of the provisions of, or impair the right of any holder of Notes under, this Section 17.

18. TRANSFER. This Note and any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note may be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by the Holder without the consent of the Company, subject only to the provisions of Section 4.13 of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

19. REISSUANCE OF THIS NOTE.

(a) Transfer. If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section ‎19‎(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section ‎19‎(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section ‎3(c)(iii) following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the outstanding Principal represented by this Note may be less than the Principal stated on the face of this Note.

(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section ‎19‎(d)) representing the outstanding Principal.

(c) Note Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Note or Notes (in accordance with Section ‎19‎(d) and in principal amounts of at least $1,000) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of this Note, and each such new Note will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.

(d) Issuance of New Notes. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the Principal remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to Section ‎19‎(a) or Section ‎19‎(c), the Principal designated by the Holder which, when added to the principal represented by the other new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the Principal remaining outstanding under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest and Late Charges on the Principal and Interest of this Note, from the Issuance Date.

The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. In addition, the exercise of any right or remedy of the Holder at law or equity or under this Note or any of the documents shall not be deemed to be an election of Holder’s rights or remedies under such documents or at law or equity. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof).

In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Required Delivery Date either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to a Purchaser and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, credit the balance account of such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Purchaser submitted for legend removal by such Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.13(c) above or (II) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Trading Day such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of shares of Common Stock submitted for legend removal by such Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.13(c) above that such Purchaser is entitled to receive from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days after such Purchaser’s request and in such Purchaser’s discretion, either (x) pay cash to such Purchaser in an amount equal to such Purchaser’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 Company’s obligation to so deliver such certificate or credit such Purchaser’s balance account shall terminate and such shares shall be cancelled, or (y) promptly honor its obligation to so deliver to such Purchaser a certificate or certificates or credit the balance account of such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s designee with DTC representing such number of shares of Common Stock that would have been so delivered if the Company timely complied with its obligations hereunder and pay cash to such Purchaser in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Conversion Shares that the Company was required to deliver to such Purchaser by the Required Delivery Date multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Purchaser to the Company of the applicable Conversion Shares and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (y). Nothing shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any given Notice Failure and/or Delivery Failure, this Section 4.13(d) shall not apply to the applicable Purchaser to the extent the Company has already paid such amounts in full to such Purchaser with respect to such Notice Failure and/or Delivery Failure, as applicable, pursuant to the analogous sections of the Note held by such Purchaser.

(e) Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to the Transfer Agent and any subsequent transfer agent in a form acceptable to the Purchasers (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC, registered in the name of the applicable Purchaser or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Purchaser to the Company upon conversion of the Notes. The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 4.13(e), and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 13.17 hereof, will be given by the Company to the Transfer Agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Financing Documents (assuming the conditions of paragraphs (c)(1) and (d) of Rule 144 are met and the Purchaser is not an affiliate of the Company). If a Purchaser effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with Section 13.17, the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Purchaser to effect such sale, transfer or assignment.

Furthermore, any Foreign Purchaser shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so and to the extent in any Purchaser’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Purchaser, deliver to the Issuers on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement or becomes an assignee of an interest pursuant to Section 12.6(a) (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuers), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Issuers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(e) United States Purchasers. Any Purchaser other than a Foreign Purchaser that is a party hereto on the Closing Date or purports to become an assignee of an interest pursuant to Section 12.6(a) after the Closing Date (unless such Purchaser was already a Purchaser hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) shall execute and deliver to the Issuer one or more (as the Issuer may reasonably request) United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, certifying to such Purchaser’s U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number and that it is not subject to United States federal backup withholding taxes on or about the date on which such Purchaser becomes a party hereto or becomes an assignee of an interest pursuant to Section 12.6(a) (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuer). Each Purchaser shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms pursuant to this paragraph (e) and to promptly notify the Issuers of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(f) Agent (including any successor Agent) shall provide, on or about the date on which such Person becomes an Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuer), a duly executed and completed IRS Form W-9 certifying to Agent’s U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number and that it is not subject to United States federal backup withholding taxes. Agent shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms pursuant to this paragraph (f) and shall promptly notify the Issuers of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(g) [Reserved]

Section 10.2 Capital Adequacy.

If any Purchaser shall reasonably determine that the adoption or taking effect of, or any change in, any applicable Law regarding capital adequacy, in each instance, after the Closing Date, or any change after the Closing Date in the interpretation, administration or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation, administration or application thereof, or the compliance by any Purchaser or any Person controlling such Purchaser with any request, guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Purchaser’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Purchaser or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such adoption, phase-in, phase-opt, change, interpretation, administration, application or compliance (taking into consideration such Purchaser’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) then from time to time, upon written demand by such Purchaser (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent), Credit Parties shall promptly pay to such Purchaser such additional amounts as will compensate such Purchaser or such controlling Person for such reduction, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date on which such Purchaser first made demand therefor; provided that if the event giving rise to such amount has retroactive effect, such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect.

Section 10.3 Increased Costs.

If any Purchaser shall reasonably determine that the adoption or taking effect of, or any change in, any applicable Law, in each instance, after the Closing Date, or any change after the Closing Date in the interpretation, administration or application of any Law by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation, administration or application thereof, or the compliance by any Purchaser or any Person controlling such Purchaser with any request, guideline or directive of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: (a) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or any successor thereto), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by any Purchaser, or (b) shall impose on any Purchaser any other condition affecting its Notes, any of its Notes (if any) or its obligation to make Notes; and the result of anything described in clauses (a) and (b) above is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) such Purchaser of making or maintaining any Notes, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Purchaser under this Agreement or under any of its Notes (if any) with respect thereto, then upon demand by such Purchaser (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail), Credit Parties shall promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days of demand therefor, pay directly to such Purchaser such additional amount as will compensate such Purchaser or controlling Person for such increased cost or such reduction, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date on which such Purchaser first made demand therefor; provided that if the event giving rise to such amount has retroactive effect, such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect.

Section 10.4 Mitigation Obligations.

If any Purchaser requests compensation under either Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, or requires Issuer to pay any additional amount to any Purchaser or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.1, then, upon the written request of the Issuer, such Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Notes hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder (subject to the provisions of Section 12.6) to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Purchaser, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or materially reduce amounts payable pursuant to any such Section, as the case may be, in the future, (b) would not subject such Purchaser to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (c) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Purchaser (as determined in its sole discretion). Without limitation of the provisions of Section 9.1, Issuer hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Purchaser in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 10.5 Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival.

Determinations and statements of any Purchaser pursuant to Sections 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The Purchasers may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Notes and termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.6 Dodd-Frank.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all rules, regulations, guidelines and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, shall be deemed, in each case, for all purposes of this Agreement, to be adopted after the date of this Agreement, regardless of the date actually enacted, adopted or issued.

Section 11.1 Appointment and Authorization.

(a) General. Each Purchaser and the Agent hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to enter into each of the Financing Documents to which it is a party (other than this Agreement) on its behalf and to take such actions as the Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Financing Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Financing Document, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Purchaser or the Agent, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Financing Document or otherwise exist against the Agent.

(b) Specific Rights Regarding Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the powers of the Agent, as set forth above, the Agent is hereby authorized to act as “collateral agent” for each Purchaser, the Agent and each other Secured Party pursuant to each of the Financing Documents. In such capacity, the Agent has the right to exercise all rights and remedies available under the Financing Documents, the UCC and any other applicable Law, as further described in Section 11.3.

Section 11.2 Agent and Affiliates.

[●] and its Affiliates and Approved Funds may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any Credit Party and any Affiliate of any Credit Party as though [●] were not the Agent under the Financing Documents and without notice to or consent of any Purchaser. Each Purchaser acknowledges that, pursuant to such activities, [●] and its Affiliates may receive information regarding Credit Parties or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of any such Credit Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. The Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Financing Documents as any other Purchaser and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Agent, and the Agent and its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in and generally engage in any kind of business with each Credit Party or Affiliate of any Credit Party as if it were not the Agent hereunder.

Section 11.3 Delegation of Duties.

The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Financing Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care. Without limiting the generality of the powers of the Agent, as set forth above, the Agent is hereby authorized to act as collateral agent and administrative agent for each Purchaser pursuant to each of the Financing Documents. In its capacity as collateral agent, the Agent has the right to exercise all rights and remedies available under the Financing Documents, the UCC, and other applicable Law, as directed by the Required Purchasers, which rights and remedies shall include, in the event of a foreclosure by the Agent on any portion of the Collateral, whether pursuant to a public or private sale, the right of the Agent, as agent for all of the Purchasers, to be, or form an acquisition entity to be, the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale. The Agent, as agent for all of the Purchasers, shall be entitled at any such sale to offset any of the Obligations against the purchase price payable by the Agent (or such acquisition entity) at such sale or to otherwise consent to a reduction of the Obligations as consideration to the applicable Credit Party in connection with such sale. The Agent shall have the authority to take such other actions as it may deem necessary or desirable, and as may be approved by the Required Purchasers, to consummate a sale of the type described in the immediately preceding sentences. Without limiting the generality of the powers of the Agent, as set forth above, in the context of any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding involving any Credit Party, the Agent is hereby authorized to, at the direction of the Required Purchasers: (a) file proofs of claim and other documents on behalf of the Purchasers, (b) object or consent to the use of cash collateral, (c) object or consent to any proposed debtor-in-possession financing, whether provided by one or more of the Purchasers or any other Person and whether secured by Liens with priority over the Liens securing the Obligations or otherwise, (d) object or consent to any sale of Collateral, including sales for non-cash consideration in satisfaction of a portion of the Obligations, as may be agreed to by the Required Purchasers on behalf of all of the Purchasers, (e) to be, or form an acquisition entity to be, the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale under clause (d) and to offset any of the Obligations against the purchase price payable by the Agent (or such acquisition entity) at such sale or to otherwise consent to a reduction of the Obligations as consideration to the applicable Credit Party in connection with such sale, and (f) seek, object or consent to any Credit Party’s provision of adequate protection of the interests of the Agent and/or the Purchasers in the Collateral.

Section 11.4 Action by the Agent; Action by Secured Parties.

(a) Agent. The Agent shall not have, by reason of this Agreement, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Purchaser or any other Person. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Actions taken by the Agent hereunder, under the other Financing Documents or upon the instructions of Required Purchasers or such other portion of the Purchasers (as required hereunder), shall be binding upon each Purchaser and each of the other Secured Parties.

(b) Secured Parties. Anything in this Agreement or any other Financing Document to the contrary notwithstanding, each Secured Party hereby agrees with each other Secured Party and with the Agent that no Secured Party shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights against any Credit Party arising out of this Agreement or any other Financing Document (including exercising any rights of set-off) without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Agent, it being the intent of the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties that any such action to protect or enforce rights against any Credit Party under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the Agent.

Section 11.5 Consultation with Experts.

The Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 11.6 Liability of the Agent.

Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Secured Party for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Financing Documents, except that the Agent shall be liable with respect to its specific duties set forth hereunder, but only to the extent of its own fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the discharge thereof as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Financing Document or any borrowing hereunder, (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements specified in any Financing Document, (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in any Financing Document, (d) the validity, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Financing Document, any Lien purported to be created or perfected thereby or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith, (e) the existence or non-existence of any Default or Event of Default; or (f) the financial condition of any Credit Party or Subsidiary. The Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex, facsimile or electronic transmission or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Secured Party to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Secured Parties any payment in excess of the amount to which it is determined to be entitled (and such other Secured Parties hereby agree to return to such Secured Party any such erroneous payments received by them).

Section 11.7 Indemnification.

The Purchasers shall, on a ratable basis, indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Credit Parties) upon demand against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), withholding Tax liability, claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) that the Agent may suffer or incur in connection with the Financing Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder or thereunder, in each case solely in its capacity as such (and not as a Purchaser). Agent (in its capacity as a Purchaser), and all Purchasers who are Affiliates of Agent shall be responsible for their pro rata share of any such indemnity. If any indemnity furnished to the Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by Required Purchasers until such additional indemnity is furnished.

Section 11.8 Right to Request and Act on Instructions.

The Agent may at any time request instructions from the Purchasers with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Financing Documents the Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Financing Documents until it shall have received such instructions from Required Purchasers or all or such other portion of the Purchasers as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents in accordance with the instructions of Required Purchasers (or all or such other portion of the Purchasers as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of Required Purchasers (or such other applicable portion of the Purchasers), the Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action would violate applicable Law or exposes it to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.7.

Section 11.9 Credit Decision.

Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Purchaser also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Financing Documents.

Section 11.10 Collateral Matters.

Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to (a) release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent under any Security Document (i) upon Payment in Full of the Obligations or (ii) constituting property (x) sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted under any Financing Document or (y) that is or has become Excluded Property (as defined in the Security Agreement) pursuant to clause (k) of the definition thereof (it being understood and agreed that the Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the sale or other disposition of property or such property constituting or becoming such type of Excluded Property being made in full compliance with the provisions of the Financing Documents), (b) [reserved], and (c) release (i) any Subsidiary Grantor of all or any portion of the Obligations if all of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Grantor is sold or otherwise ceases to be a Subsidiary in a transaction permitted hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such transaction such Credit Party would not be required to guarantee any Obligation pursuant to Section 4.11 or (ii) all Credit Parties from their Obligations under the Financing Documents upon Payment in Full of the Obligations. Upon request by the Agent at any time, Secured Parties will confirm the Agent’s authority to release and/or subordinate particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.10.

Section 11.11 Agency for Perfection.

The Agent and each Secured Party hereby appoint each other Secured Party as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Agent’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with the UCC in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Secured Party (other than the Agent) obtain possession or control of any such assets, such Secured Party shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to the Agent or in accordance with the Agent’s instructions or transfer control to the Agent in accordance with the Agent’s instructions. Without limiting the provisions of Section 11.4(b), each Secured Party agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Security Document or to realize upon any Collateral for the Obligations unless instructed to do so by the Agent (or consented to by the Agent, as provided in Section 8.3), it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by the Agent.

Section 11.12 Notice of Default.

The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Purchaser or the Issuer referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by Required Purchasers (or all or such other portion of the Purchasers as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) in accordance with the terms hereof. Unless and until the Agent has received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of the Purchasers.

Section 11.13 Successor Agent.

The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Purchasers and the Issuer. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Required Purchasers shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Agent hereunder and notice of such acceptance to the resigning Agent, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning (or resigned) Agent, the resigning Agent’s resignation shall become immediately effective and the resigning Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents (if such resignation was not already effective and such duties and obligations not already discharged, as provided below in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Issuer to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and such successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Required Purchasers and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the resigning Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the resigning Agent, from and following the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, (a) shall have the exclusive right, upon one (1) Business Day’s notice to the Issuer and the Purchasers, to make its resignation effective immediately, and (b) may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Purchasers, appoint a successor Agent. From and following the effectiveness of its resignation, (i) the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the resigning Agent shall instead be made by or to each Purchaser directly, until such time as Required Purchasers appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect for the benefit of any resigning Agent and its sub-agents after the effectiveness of its resignation hereunder and under the other Financing Documents in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the resigning Agent was acting or was continuing to act as the Agent.

Section 11.14 Right to Perform, Preserve and Protect.

If any Credit Party fails to perform any obligation hereunder or under any other Financing Document, the Agent itself may, but shall not be obligated to, cause such obligation to be performed at Credit Parties’ expense. The Agent is further authorized by Credit Parties and Secured Parties to make expenditures (including legal and other expenses incurred from time to time) from time to time which the Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable to (a) preserve or protect the business conducted by Credit Parties, the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (b) enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Notes and other Obligations and/or (c) to enforce its rights and claims in the Collateral and against the Credit Parties and defend Agent’s rights and interests in the Collateral and under the Financing Documents. Each Credit Party hereby agrees to reimburse the Agent for any and all costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by the Agent pursuant to this Section 11.14, in accordance with Section 9.1. Each Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent upon demand for any and all costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by the Agent pursuant to this Section 11.14, in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.7. In addition, the Agent shall be entitled to request advances from time to time from the Purchasers for the purpose of covering the expenditures expected to be incurred pursuant to this Section 11.14.

Section 11.15 Additional Titled Agents.

Except for rights and powers, if any, expressly reserved under this Agreement to any bookrunner, arranger or to any titled agent named on the cover page of this Agreement, other than the Agent (collectively, the “Additional Titled Agents”), and except for obligations, liabilities, duties and responsibilities, if any, expressly assumed under this Agreement by any Additional Titled Agent, no Additional Titled Agent, in such capacity, has any rights, powers, liabilities, duties or responsibilities hereunder or under any of the other Financing Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, no Additional Titled Agent shall have nor be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party.

Section 11.16 Subordinated Debt and Junior Debt.

Each Purchaser hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Agent to enter into any additional intercreditor agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other subordination or intercreditor agreement pertaining to any Subordinated Debt, Junior Debt or other Debt permitted hereunder on its behalf and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of any such agreement (subject to the last sentence of this Section 11.16). Subject to Section 12.5, Each Purchaser further agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of any additional intercreditor agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other subordination or intercreditor agreement pertaining to any Subordinated Debt or Junior Debt or other Debt permitted hereunder. Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Agent to issue (and receive, as applicable) blockage notices in connection with any Subordinated Debt or Junior Debt at the direction of the Required Purchasers (it being agreed and understood that the Agent will not act unilaterally to issue such blockage notices). After the Closing Date, the Agent and the Issuer agree to negotiate a Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement with the holders of the existing Junior Debt on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Issuer, and in any event to execute such Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement within 45 days after the Closing Date.

Section 11.17 Third Party Beneficiaries.

The provisions of this Article 11 are solely for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Other than Section 11.10, Section 11.14 and Section 11.16, no Credit Party or any Subsidiary shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Article 11. The provisions of this Article 11 and the other Financing Documents relating to Collateral shall benefit each Secured Party if, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Article 11 and all other provisions of the Financing Documents running to the benefit of the Agent from any Purchaser, as if each other Secured Party was a Purchaser hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, and as a condition to its acceptance of the benefits set forth above, each other Secured Party agrees that the Agent and each of the other Secured Parties shall be entitled to act in its sole discretion without regard to the interests of the Secured Party seeking the benefit hereof, without any duty or liability to such Secured Party and without having any duty to notify or seek the consent of such Secured Party prior to taking any action or omitting to take any action.

Section 11.18 Actions in Concert.

For the sake of clarity, each Purchaser hereby agrees with each other Purchaser that no Purchaser shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Financing Document (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Agent or the Required Purchasers, it being the intent of the Purchasers that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement the Notes and the other Financing Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the Agent or the Required Purchasers.

ARTICLE 12
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.1 Survival.

All agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in every other Financing Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents. The provisions of Articles 9, 10, 11 and 12 shall survive the Payment in Full of the Obligations (both with respect to any Purchaser and all Purchasers collectively) and any termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.2 No Waivers; Remedies Cumulative.

No failure or delay by the Agent or any Purchaser in exercising any right, power or privilege under any Financing Document 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 rights and remedies herein and therein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law. Any reference in any Financing Document to the “continuing” nature of any Event of Default shall not be construed as establishing or otherwise indicating that any Credit Party has the independent right to cure any such Event of Default, but is rather presented merely for convenience should such Event of Default be waived in accordance with the terms of the applicable Financing Documents.

Section 12.3 Notices.

(a) All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including prepaid overnight courier, facsimile transmission, e-mail, electronic submissions or similar writing, but in no event by text message) and shall be given to such party at its address, facsimile number or e-mail address set forth on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of any such Purchaser who becomes a Purchaser after the date hereof, in an Assignment Agreement or in a notice delivered to the Issuers and the Agent and each other Purchaser by the assignee Purchaser forthwith upon such assignment) or by electronic submissions, as provided below, or at such other address, facsimile number or e-mail address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Agent, each other Purchaser and the Issuers; provided, that notices, requests or other communications shall be permitted by e-mail or other electronic submissions (but in no event by text message) only in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3(b). Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile, when such notice is transmitted to the facsimile number specified by this Section and the sender receives a confirmation of transmission from the sending facsimile machine, (ii) if given by e-mail or other electronic submissions, as set forth in Section 12.3(c) or (iii) if given by mail, prepaid overnight courier or any other means, when received at the applicable address specified by this Section.

(b) Notices and other communications to the parties hereto may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites, but in no event by text message) provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to notices sent directly to any party hereto if such party has notified the other parties in writing that it has elected not to receive notices by electronic communication (which election may be limited to particular notices).

(c) (i) Notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgment), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor, provided, that if any such notice or other communication is not sent or posted during normal business hours, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day.

Section 12.4 Severability.

In case any provision of or obligation under this Agreement or any other Financing Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 12.6 Assignments; Participations.

(a) Assignments.

(i) Subject to Section 4.13, any Purchaser may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of such Purchaser’s Notes, together with all related rights and obligations of such Purchaser hereunder, including for the avoidance of doubt, the rights of such Purchaser under Section 2.1(f) and any unfunded commitment of such Purchaser. Any purported assignment to any Person that is not an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the definition thereof shall be null and void. The amount of any such assignment (determined as of the date of the applicable Assignment Agreement or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in such Assignment Agreement, as of such Trade Date) shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 (unless such assignment is made to an existing Purchaser or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Purchaser or is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in the outstanding Notes); provided, that, in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more Affiliated Persons, including related Approved Funds, such Affiliated Persons and Approved Funds shall be treated as one assignee for purposes of determining compliance with the minimum assignment size referred to above. The Issuers, the Agent and the Purchasers shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with the interests so assigned to an Eligible Assignee until the Purchasers and the Agent shall have received and accepted an effective Assignment Agreement executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto.

(ii) From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met and recordation in the register described in paragraph (iii) below, (A) such Eligible Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent of the interests assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser hereunder and (B) the assigning Purchaser, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights and obligations hereunder (other than those that survive termination pursuant to Section 12.1). Upon the request of the Eligible Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Purchaser) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, each Issuer shall execute and deliver to such Eligible Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Purchaser) Notes in the aggregate principal amount of the Eligible Assignee’s Notes (and, as applicable, Notes in the principal amount of the Notes retained by the assigning Purchaser). Upon receipt by the assigning Purchaser of such Note (or commitments, as applicable), the assigning Purchaser shall promptly return to the Issuers any prior Note held by it.

(iii) The Issuers shall maintain at its offices a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Purchaser, and the commitments of, and principal amount and interest of the Notes owing to, such Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof. The entries in such register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Issuers, the Agent and the Purchasers may treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. Such register shall be available for inspection by the Agent and any Purchaser (provided that each Purchaser’s right of inspection shall be limited to information about such Purchaser), at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to the Issuers. Any assignment may be effected only upon the registration thereof as provided in this paragraph (iii).

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.6(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, any Purchaser may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Purchaser, including any pledge or grant to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or to a trustee as security for the benefit of its noteholders, other security holders or creditors of a Purchaser; provided that no such pledge or grant shall release such Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Purchaser as a party hereto.

(b) Participations.

Subject to Section 4.13, any Purchaser may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Issuers or the Agent, sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Notes, commitments or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”), provided, no participation shall be made to any Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates, any natural person or any Disqualified Purchaser. In the event of a sale by a Purchaser of a participating interest to a Participant, (i) such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (ii) the Issuers and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder and (iii) all amounts payable by each Issuer shall be determined as if such Purchaser had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Issuers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.1 as if it were a Purchaser (provided that such Participant complies with the requirements of Section 10.1(d) and (e) as if it were a Purchaser; provided further, that no Participant shall receive any greater compensation pursuant to Section 10.1 than would have been paid to the participating Purchaser if no participation had been sold). No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any event described in Section 12.5 expressly requiring the unanimous vote of all Purchasers or, as applicable, all affected Purchasers. The Issuers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Purchaser under this Agreement; provided that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with the Purchasers, as provided in Section 8.3. In the event that a Purchaser sells a participation, the Purchaser, as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of the Issuers, shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) in the United States a register (the “Participant Register”) on which it enters the name and addresses of all participants in the Obligations held by it and the rights of such participants in the Obligations (including principal amount, interest thereon, and fees of the portion of such Obligations that is subject to such participations). No Purchaser shall have an obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Note or any Obligation), except as otherwise required by applicable Law and to the Issuers at its reasonable request and then, solely to the extent that such disclosure is required to establish that such participation, Note or Obligation is in registered form under Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c) of the Treasury Regulations. Any participation or transfer thereof may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register.

No Credit Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or other obligations hereunder or under any other Financing Document without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Purchaser.

Section 12.7 Headings.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Notes or the use of the proceeds thereof.

Section 12.10 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.

Neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Issuers or any other Credit Party makes any payment or the Agent enforces its Liens or the Agent or any Purchaser exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or required to be repaid by anyone, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

(c) Each Purchaser understands that (i) the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act, (ii) it must bear the economic risk of its investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time because the Securities are not registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and may not be resold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and such other laws or unless an exemption from registration is available (iii) the offer and sale of the Securities hereunder is not registered under the Securities Act or under any “blue sky” laws in reliance upon certain exemptions from such registration and that the Credit Parties are relying on the representations made herein by each Purchaser in its determination of whether such specific exemptions are available, and (iv) the Securities may not be transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or under an exception from such registration available under the Securities Act, and under applicable “blue sky” laws or in a transaction exempt from such registration.

Article V Remedies

5.1 Code and Other Remedies

(a) UCC Remedies. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any Secured Obligation, all rights and remedies of a Secured Party under the UCC or any other applicable law.

(b) Disposition of Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), during the continuance of any Event of Default (personally or through its agents or attorneys), (i) enter upon the premises where any Collateral is located, without any obligation to pay rent, through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving any Grantor or any other Person notice or opportunity for a hearing on the Collateral Agent’s claim or action, (ii) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any Collateral and (iii) as further set forth herein, enter into transfers, sales, or other dispositions of, grant option or options to purchase and deliver, any Collateral (enter into any Contractual Obligation to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions and times and locations as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.

(c) Regulated Sales. To the extent, and only to the extent, required by Law and prohibited by Law to be waived by the applicable Grantors (which the Grantors hereby expressly waive to the fullest extent permitted by Law), the Grantors agree that ten (10) days’ written notice is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any transfer, sale or other dispositions of any Collateral. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to sell any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but none of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties shall incur any Liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made in accordance with the Transaction Documents, the Collateral Agent and any other Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Law) from any right or equity of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any Obligation then due and payable to the Secured Parties (in the case of the Collateral Agent) or, as the case may be, such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and the Collateral Agent (or, as the case may be, such Secured Party) may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement, all Events of Default shall have been remedied and no Obligation shall remain outstanding. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.1 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

- 13 -

(d) Management of the Collateral. Each Grantor further agrees, that, during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) at the Collateral Agent’s request, it shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places that the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere, (ii) without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent also has the right to require that each Grantor store and keep any Collateral pending further action by the Collateral Agent and, while any such Collateral is so stored or kept, provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain such Collateral in good condition, (iii) until the Collateral Agent is able to enter into an asset sale with respect to any Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to hold or use such Collateral to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent and (iv) the Collateral Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of the Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. The Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of any Grantor as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of the Collateral Agent.

(e) Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply the cash proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.1, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent and any other Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any Law, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor.

(f) Direct Obligation. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any right or remedy against, any Grantor, any other Secured Party or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guaranty thereof. All of the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and any other Secured Party under any Transaction Document shall be cumulative, may be exercised individually or concurrently and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by any Law. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Collateral Agent or any Collateral Agent, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety, now or hereafter existing, arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of any Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition.

(g) Commercially Reasonable. To the extent that applicable Laws impose duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to do any of the following:

(i) fail to incur significant costs, expenses or other Liabilities reasonably deemed as such by the Collateral Agent to prepare any Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition;

(ii) fail to obtain Permits, or other consents, for access to any Collateral to dispose of, or for the collection of, any Collateral, or, if not required by other Laws, fail to obtain Permits or other consents for the collection or disposition of any Collateral;

(iii) fail to exercise remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on any Collateral or to remove Liens on any Collateral or to remove any adverse claims against any Collateral;

(iv) advertise dispositions of any Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature or to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring any such Collateral;

- 14 -

(v) exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on any Collateral, directly or through the use of collection agencies or other collection specialists, hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of any Collateral, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature or, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any Collateral, or utilize Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets to dispose of any Collateral;

(vi) dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets;

(vii) disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment; or

(viii) purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of any Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of any Collateral.

Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 5.1 is to provide a non-exhaustive list of actions or omissions that are commercially reasonable when exercising remedies against any Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Parties shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 5.1. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5.1 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable Laws in the absence of this Section 5.1.

(h) IP Licenses. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 5.1 (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, enter into an asset sale with respect to, or grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), including in such license the right to sublicense, use and practice any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor and access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all Software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof and (ii) an irrevocable license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate and occupy all real property owned, operated, leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by such Grantor.

(i) Performance by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. The Collateral Agent may, but is not obligated to, perform or attempt to perform any Contractual Obligation of any Grantor contained herein with or without prior written notice to such Grantor. If any material part of the Collateral becomes the subject of any Litigation and any such Grantor fails to defend fully such Litigation and to protect such Grantor’s and Secured Parties’ rights in such Collateral in good faith, the Collateral Agent may, at its option but at Grantors’ cost, elect to defend and control the defense of such litigation or other proceeding, and may (i) select and retain counsel, (ii) determine whether settlement shall be offered or accepted, and (iii) determine and negotiate all settlement terms.

5.2 Accounts and Payments in Respect of General Intangibles

(a) In addition to, and not in substitution for, any similar requirement in the Purchase Agreement, if required by the Collateral Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment of accounts or payment in respect of general intangibles, when collected by any Grantor, shall be promptly (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, in a collection account, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 5.4. Until so turned over, such payment shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of proceeds of accounts and payments in respect of general intangibles shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

- 15 -

(b) At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) each Grantor shall, upon the Collateral Agent’s request, deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and other documentation evidencing, and relating to, the agreements, arrangements and transactions that gave rise to any account or any payment in respect of general intangibles, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts and notify account debtors that the accounts or general intangibles have been collaterally assigned to the Collateral Agent and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent;

(ii) the Collateral Agent may, without notice, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, limit or terminate the authority of a Grantor to collect its accounts or amounts due under general intangibles or any thereof and, in its own name or in the name of others, communicate with account debtors to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any account or amounts due under any general intangible. In addition, the Collateral Agent may at any time enforce such Grantor’s rights against such account debtors and obligors of general intangibles; and

(iii) each Grantor shall take all actions, deliver all documentation and provide all information necessary or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to ensure any Internet Domain Name is registered.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each account and each payment in respect of general intangibles to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any agreement giving rise to an account or a payment in respect of a general intangible by reason of or arising out of any Transaction Document or the receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of any Grantor under or pursuant to any agreement giving rise to an account or a payment in respect of a general intangible, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

5.3 Pledged Collateral

(a) Voting Rights. During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice by the Collateral Agent to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, the Collateral Agent or its nominee may exercise (i) any voting, consent, corporate and other right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (ii) any right of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any Pledged Collateral upon the merger, amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or equivalent structure of any issuer of Pledged Stock, the right to deposit and deliver any Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(b) Proxies. In order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions that it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall remain in place as long as any Obligation shall remain outstanding.

- 16 -

(c) Authorization of Issuers. Each Grantor hereby expressly irrevocably authorizes and instructs, without any further instructions from such Grantor, each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that states that an Event of Default is continuing and is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected from Liabilities to such Grantor in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividend or make any other payment with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Collateral Agent.

5.4 Proceeds to be Turned over to and Held by Collateral Agent. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Purchase Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or this Agreement, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor hereunder in Cash, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, time and demand deposits and other similar cash equivalents shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, promptly upon receipt by any Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received (with any necessary endorsement). All such proceeds and other proceeds being held by the Collateral Agent (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.

5.5 Registration Rights

(a) If, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, it is necessary or advisable to transfer any portion of the Pledged Collateral by registering such Pledged Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), each relevant Grantor shall cause the issuer thereof to do or cause to be done all acts as may be, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register such Pledged Collateral or that portion thereof to be transferred under the provisions of the Securities Act, all as directed by the Collateral Agent in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto and in compliance with the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction that the Collateral Agent shall designate.

(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable, not desirable or not commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws even if such issuer would agree to do so.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all applicable Laws. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained in this Section 5.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.5 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred.

5.6 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

Article VI Other rights of Collateral Agent

6.1 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact

(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of the Transaction Documents, to take any appropriate action and to execute any documentation or instrument that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of the Transaction Documents, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any of the following when an Event of Default shall be continuing:

(i) in the name of such Grantor, in its own name or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any check, draft, note, acceptance or other instrument for the payment of moneys due under any account or general intangible or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any such moneys due under any account or general intangible or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property owned by or licensed to the Grantors, execute, deliver and have recorded any documentation that the Collateral Agent may request to evidence, effect, publicize or record the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against any Collateral, effect any repair or pay any insurance called for by the terms of the Purchase Agreement (including all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof);

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.1 or Section 5.5, any documentation to effect or otherwise necessary or appropriate in relation to evidence the transfer of any Collateral; or

(v) (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to make payment of any moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct, (B) ask or demand for, and collect and receive payment of and receipt for, any moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral, (C) sign and indorse any invoice, freight or express bill, bill of lading, storage or warehouse receipt, draft against debtors, assignment, verification, notice and other documentation in connection with any Collateral, (D) commence and prosecute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect any Collateral and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral, (E) defend any actions, suits, proceedings, audits, claims, demands, orders or disputes brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral, (F) settle, compromise or adjust any such actions, suits, proceedings, audits, claims, demands, orders or disputes and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate, (G) assign any Intellectual Property owned by the Grantors or any IP Licenses of the Grantors throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine, including the execution and filing of any documentation necessary to effectuate or record such assignment and (H) generally, enter into an asset sale with respect to, grant a Lien on, enter into any agreement or other obligation with respect to and otherwise deal with, any Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon any Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of the Transaction Documents, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

- 18 -

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any obligation contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such obligation.

(c) The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at the default rate set forth in the Notes, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Section 6.1. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

6.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent, its Affiliates and their related parties, contractors and agents, at any time and from time to time, to file or record financing statements, amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documentation or instruments with respect to any Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and such financing statements and amendments may describe the Collateral covered thereby as “all assets of the debtor” or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the applicable UCC, and contain any other information required pursuant to the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including, in the case of financing statements filed as fixture filings or indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or as otherwise required by applicable Law, a sufficient description of the real property related to the applicable Collateral. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording documentation or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. Such Grantor also hereby ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent to have filed any initial financing statement or amendment thereto under the UCC (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction if filed prior to the date hereof.

6.3 Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Intercreditor Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation or entitlement to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

6.4 Duty; Obligations and Liabilities. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehousemen, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other bailee if such Person has been selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.

6.5 Obligations and Liabilities with respect to Collateral. No Secured Party and no Affiliate thereof shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder shall not impose any duty upon any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Article VII Miscellaneous

7.1 Reinstatement. Each Grantor agrees that, if any payment made by any Secured Party or other Person and applied to the Secured Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of any Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Secured Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, any Lien or other Collateral securing such Grantor’s liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of the foregoing or (b) any other provision of this Agreement shall have been terminated, cancelled or surrendered, such Lien, other Collateral or provision shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any such Grantor in respect of any Lien or other Collateral securing such obligation or the amount of such payment.

7.2 Independent Obligations. The obligations of each Grantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Secured Obligations. If any Secured Obligation is not paid when due, or upon any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Grantor and any Collateral to collect and recover the full amount of any Secured Obligation then due, without first proceeding against any other Grantor, any other Credit Party, any of their Affiliates or any other Collateral and without first joining any other Grantor or any other Credit Party or any other party in any proceeding.

7.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.4), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.

7.4 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except as permitted by the Purchase Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement; provided, that annexes to this Agreement may be supplemented (but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through Pledge Amendments and Joinder Agreements, in substantially the form of Annex 1 and Annex 2, respectively, in each case duly executed by the Collateral Agent and each Grantor directly affected thereby.

7.5 Additional Grantors; Additional Pledged Collateral

(a) Joinder Agreements. Consistent with Section 4.11(b) (New Subsidiaries) of the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall cause any Subsidiary that is not a Grantor to become a Grantor hereunder. Each such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Annex 2 and shall thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights, benefits and obligations as a Grantor party hereto on the Closing Date.

(b) Pledge Amendments. To the extent any Pledged Collateral has not been delivered as of the Closing Date, such Grantor shall deliver a pledge amendment duly executed by the Grantor in substantially the form of Annex 1 (each, a “Pledge Amendment”). Such Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement.

- 20 -

7.6 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 12.3 (Notices) of the Purchase Agreement; provided, that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to the Company’s notice address set forth in such Section 12.3.

7.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of each Secured Party and their successors and, if permitted by the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, assigns; provided, that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

7.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or by e-mail shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

7.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of this Agreement or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

7.10 Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Grantors in the Transaction Documents (including any such representation or warranty made in or in connection with any amendment thereto) shall constitute representations and warranties made under this Agreement. All representations and warranties made by the Grantors under this Agreement (including those representations and warranties set forth in the immediately preceding sentence) shall be made or deemed to be made at and as of the date hereof (except those that are expressly made as of a specific date), shall survive the date here and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any borrowing hereunder. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Secured Parties are entitled under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Secured Parties against events arising after such termination as well as before. This Agreement shall be reinstated at any time any payment of any Secured Obligation, in whole or in part, is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Collateral Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor or other Credit Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

7.11 Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Laws and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Secured Party is hereby authorized by each Grantor at any time or from time to time, without notice or demand to any Grantor or to any other Person, any such notice or demand being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, including indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other indebtedness or other amounts at any time held or owing by such Grantor to or for the credit or the account of any other Credit Party or any of their related parties against and on account of any amounts due by any Credit Party or any of their related parties to any Secured Party under any Transaction Documents (including from the Purchase Price to be disbursed under the Purchase Agreement and the Notes). Such Secured Party shall then hold such amounts in trust for the other Secured Parties and transfer such amounts to the Collateral Agent to be distributed to the Secured Parties ratably according to the terms hereof and other related documents.

- 21 -

7.12 Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the grant of the security interest in the Collateral, and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document or any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Transaction Documents or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement (other than payment of the outstanding Secured Obligations).

7.13 Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York without reference to rules or principles that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

7.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, any right that they may have to trial by jury of any claim or cause of action or in any Litigation, directly or indirectly based upon or arising out of this Agreement (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other parties would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this section.

Until so delivered, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust by the Subordinated Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and each Subordinated Purchaser, as the property of the Senior Securityholder, segregated from other funds and property held by the Subordinated Administrative Agent.

(d) In order to facilitate the Senior Securityholder’s ability to carry out its responsibilities hereunder, the Subordinated Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and each Subordinated Purchaser, hereby assigns all of its respective rights, title, and interest in, to, and under the Collateral securing the Subordinated Obligations until all the Senior Obligations (including expense reimbursement and indemnification obligations) have been satisfied in full and for a period of ninety (90) days thereafter.

(e) If the Senior Securityholder desires to permit such obligor to obtain Post Petition Financing, then neither the Subordinated Administrative Agent nor any Subordinated Purchaser (by execution of this Agreement by the Subordinated Administrative Agent on its behalf) will raise any objection to such Post Petition Financing and, if applicable, will not object to, and will support, any request by the Senior Securityholder for adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith. The Subordinated Administrative Agent and each Subordinated Purchaser (by execution of this Agreement by the Subordinated Administrative Agent on its behalf) agree that no such Person nor any affiliate of any such Person shall, unless otherwise consented to by the Senior Securityholder in writing, offer to provide any such obligor ant Post Petition Financing.

If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.

Faraday Future Announces $30 Million in Financing Commitments from the Middle East, the United States, and Asia

●

Secured Funding: Faraday Future has obtained $30 million in financing commitments from the Middle East, the United States, and Asia.

●

Milestone: The involvement of Master Investment, an investment firm of Sheikh Abdulla Al Qassimi from Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, a Middle Eastern investor highlights Faraday Future's successful regional expansion and strengthens its global business position.

Los Angeles, CA (Sept. 5, 2024) -- Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (Nasdaq: FFIE) (“FF”, “Faraday Future”, or “Company”), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, announced today that it has secured $30 million in financing commitments from investors in the Middle East, the United States, and Asia. The participation from a Middle East investor, Master Investment, an investment firm of Sheikh Abdulla Al Qassimi from Ras Al Khaimah, the UAE represents a significant milestone, underscoring the Company’s successful expansion and development efforts in the region. This financing not only validates Faraday Future’s progress in enhancing its international presence but also strategically positions the Company for growth and new business opportunities.

The new financing commitment includes a previously funded $7.50 million and $22.50 million of new investment (the “Financing”) in the form of convertible notes (“Convertible Notes”) and warrants to acquire additional shares of the Company’s common stock (“Warrants”). The conversion price for the Convertible Notes and exercise price for the Warrants, are $5.24 and $6.29 per share, respectively, subject to adjustment as set forth therein. The shares of common stock underlying the Convertible Notes and Warrants issued in the Financing are currently unregistered, subject to trading restrictions, and not immediately tradable. The Financing is subject to customary closing conditions. For additional information regarding the material terms relating to the Financing, please see the Company’s Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC by September 6, 2024.

In April 2024, the Company announced the establishment of a Middle Eastern sales entity in Dubai, an important milestone for the Company. With FF’s entry into the Middle East, it now operates a “third pole” geographic strategy expanding its reach beyond the U.S. and China.

FF’s Global Automotive Industry Bridge Strategy and second brand approach will help the Company to leverage AI and software technologies for its users across multiple market segments, potentially accelerating FF’s mass-market entry while maintaining its ultra-luxury offering. FF remains focused on executing its global strategy and bringing its unique vision of intelligent electric mobility to a broader audience. FF expects to integrate the strengths of the U.S. automotive industry and markets with those of Chinese original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and parts suppliers focusing on the $20,000 to $80,000 price segment.

“I am delighted to participate in this round of financing on behalf of Ras Al Khaimah and the UAE. As FF’s strategic partner, I am also excited to bring FF's upcoming business expansion to Ras Al Khaimah and Middle East. I believe this will bring unprecedented growth opportunities for FF. This will also provide significant momentum for FF's strategic development, particularly in offering strong support for a rapid global development.” Said Sheikh Abdulla Al Qassimi.

“I am extremely encouraged for the possibilities that this new funding will bring to FF, including supporting our ongoing FF 91 2.0 production and enhanced product and software updates,” said Matthias Aydt, Global CEO of FF. “FF is a unique and differentiated electric vehicle company with significant growth prospects, especially with the addition of our Global Automotive Industry Bridge Strategy and second brand vehicle approach that are currently in the works. I also want to thank FF Global Partners who made meaningful contributions to this financing as a Company consultant.”

“I’m truly thankful for our investor support. Moving forward, FF will continue to focus on the delivery and execution of the FF 91 2.0 production, the Global Automotive Industry Bridge Strategy, and establishing a footprint in the UAE and Middle East. We believe these are amazing and unique opportunities for FF to pursue, which have the potential to create meaningful value,” said Jerry Wang, Head of Corporate Development, FFIE (Consultant).

The Convertible Notes, along with the Warrants, were offered and sold in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. Accordingly, the Convertible Notes, Warrants and underlying shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and exercise of the Warrants may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws.

The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and exercise of the Warrants issued in connection with the Financing.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the convertible notes, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
