References to “Secured SPA Notes” and “Secured SPA Warrants” refer to the convertible notes issued pursuant to
the Secured SPA and the accompanying warrants, respectively.
Pursuant to Amendment No. 8, Senyun acknowledged
that they have no “most favored nations” right to amend their outstanding Secured SPA Notes, or to any downward adjustment
to the conversion price of the Secured SPA Notes or downward adjustment to the exercise price of the Secured SPA Warrants, each in connection
with the unsecured promissory notes and related warrants contemplated by the Unsecured SPA (defined and described below) or the transactions
contemplated by a stock purchase agreement to be entered into between the Company and certain of its employees (the “Employee Share
Purchase Program”). Senyun also waived its right to participate in future financings in connection with the Unsecured SPA and the
Employee Share Purchase Program and consented and agreed to the Company entering into the Employee Share Purchase Program and all transactions
contemplated under the Unsecured SPA.
Additionally, pursuant to Amendment No. 8, the Company and Senyun agreed
to the following amendments to all outstanding and issuable Secured SPA Notes of Senyun: (i) the definition of Floor Price (as defined
in each such Secured SPA Note), was amended from $0.21 to $0.10; (ii) such Secured SPA Notes were amended such that interest on the Secured
SPA Notes, originally required to be paid on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of each Secured SPA Note
quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 or October 1, was amended to be paid upon conversion of principal of the Secured SPA Notes; (iii)
the conversion price for the Secured SPA Notes was amended from $1.05 to $0.8925, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Secured SPA
Notes; and (iv) the exercise price for the Secured SPA Warrants was amended from $1.05 to $0.8925, subject to adjustment as set forth

Pursuant to the ATW Amendment,
the Company and the ATW Parties agreed to the following amendments to all outstanding and issuable Secured SPA Notes of the ATW Parties:
(i) the definition of Floor Price (as defined in each such Secured SPA Note), was amended from $0.21 to $0.10 (or, if lower, the floor

originally required to be paid on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of each Secured SPA Note quarterly on
January 1, April 1, July 1 or October 1, was amended such that no interest payment date is to occur until the maturity date of such Secured
SPA Note, except that any accrued and unpaid interest under such Secured SPA Note shall be payable upon any redemption or conversion of
such Secured SPA Note; (iii) the conversion price for the Secured SPA Notes was amended from $1.05 to $0.8925, subject to adjustment as

Additionally, pursuant to

of the ATW Parties such that the definition of “Excluded Stock” includes up to $12.0 million in restricted shares of Common
Stock to employees, officers or directors of the Company for services rendered to the Company. Issuances of “Excluded Stock”
do not trigger anti-dilution rights of the ATW Parties under their Secured SPA Notes or Secured SPA Warrants.
The foregoing descriptions of Amendment No. 8 and the ATW Amendment
are summaries and do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of Amendment No. 8
and the ATW Amendment filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
On May 8, 2023, the Company
entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Unsecured SPA”) with Metaverse Horizon Limited and V W Investment Holding
Limited, as purchasers (collectively with additional purchasers from time to time party thereto, the “Unsecured SPA Purchasers”),
to issue and sell, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions (as described further below), $100.0 million aggregate principal
amount of the Company’s senior unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “Unsecured SPA Notes”), with (i) $15.0 million
in the aggregate to be funded at the first closings within five business days after satisfaction of certain conditions (the “First
Closings”); (ii) $15.0 million in the aggregate to be funded within fifteen business days after each respective First Closing (the
“Second Closings”); (iii) $15.0 million in the aggregate to be funded within fifteen business days after each respective Second
Closing (the “Third Closings”); (iv) $5.0 million to be funded within fifteen business days after one of the Third Closings;
(v) $10.0 million to be funded within fifteen days after satisfaction of certain conditions (the “Fourth Closing”); (vi) $10.0
million to be funded within fifteen days after the Fourth Closing (the “Fifth Closing”); (vii) $10.0 million to be funded
within fifteen days after the Fifth Closing (the “Sixth Closing”); (viii) $10.0 million to be funded within fifteen days after
the Sixth Closing (the “Seventh Closing”); and (ix) $10.0 million to be funded within fifteen days after the Seventh Closing.
Each Unsecured SPA Purchaser will also have the right to invest an additional 50% in the Company on terms and conditions substantially
identical to the funded Unsecured SPA Note upon at least ten business days’ prior notice. In connection with the Unsecured SPA,
the Company entered into equity commitment letters with each of FF Global Partners Investment LLC (formerly known as FF Top Holdings LLC)
(“FF Global”), the largest stockholder of the Company who also has a number of designees on the Company’s board of directors,
and Mr. Lijun Jin to support the obligations of the Unsecured SPA Purchasers under the Unsecured SPA subject to the limitations set forth
therein (the “Equity Commitment Letters”). In the event of a breach by FF Global and/or Mr. Jin of their obligations under
their equity commitment letters with the Company, the Company may not be able to recover the damages caused by such breach(es) from FF
Global due to the nature of their assets, including the fact that many of Mr. Jin’s assets are not located in the United States
and FF Global’s only assets are shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, a note payable from the Company, and a capital
commitment from an investor with terms not disclosed to the Company or third party beneficiary rights in favor of the Company.
The Unsecured SPA Notes are subject to an original
issue discount of 10%, and are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common
Stock”), at a conversion price equal to $0.8925, plus an interest make-whole amount as set forth in the Unsecured SPA Notes, subject
to certain adjustments including full ratchet anti-dilution price protection. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Unsecured SPA Notes are not transferable for 30 days after the applicable last closing under such Unsecured SPA Note without the prior
written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Any Unsecured SPA Purchaser may postpone or cancel
any closing pursuant to the Unsecured SPA in its reasonable discretion if it reasonably determines, based on public information, that
the first phase of the Company’s three-phase delivery plan as disclosed in public filings has not begun or will not begin prior
to May 31, 2023 and/or the second phase of such delivery plan has not begun or will not begin prior to June 30, 2023, in each case within
15 calendar days of such deadline.
Each Unsecured SPA Note matures on the date that is six years after
the date of the applicable last closing under such Unsecured SPA Note. The Unsecured SPA Notes accrue interest at 10% per annum, payable
on each conversion date and the maturity date in cash, Common Stock, or a combination thereof, provided that, subject to certain conditions
set forth in the Unsecured SPA Notes, the Company may elect to pay such interest in Common Stock at a rate equal to 15% per annum with
respect to the portion of such payment made in Common Stock. The Company may, from time to time, prepay the principal amount owing under
the Unsecured SPA Notes, subject to the same prepayment premium percentage for the notes issued under the Secured SPA, so long as (i)
the Company provides at least 15 business days’ prior written notice to the applicable Unsecured SPA Purchasers of such prepayment
and delivers to the Unsecured SPA Purchasers an appropriately completed payment notification, (ii) the Company accompanies such prepayment
with the payment of any interest make-whole amount as set forth in the Unsecured SPA Notes, (iii) certain conditions set forth in the
Unsecured SPA Notes are met during each business day of the 15-business day notice period, and (iv) the Company waives the restriction
on transfer of the relevant Unsecured SPA Notes.
Under the Unsecured SPA Notes, at each closing,
the Unsecured SPA Purchaser is entitled to receive a warrant (an “Unsecured SPA Warrant”) registered in the name of such Unsecured
SPA Purchaser to purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 33% of such shares issuable to such Unsecured SPA Purchaser
upon conversion of the aggregate principal amount under the Unsecured SPA Note funded at such closing, with an exercise price equal to
$0.8925 per share, subject to full ratchet anti-dilution protection and other adjustments, and are exercisable for seven (7) years on
a cash or cashless basis.
In addition, under the Unsecured SPA Notes, the
funding of each closing under the Unsecured SPA Notes is subject to the satisfaction of the following closing conditions: (a) (i) an effective
registration statement with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Unsecured SPA Warrants and the shares
of Common Stock issued and issuable pursuant to the terms of the Unsecured SPA Notes (including, without limitation, shares of Common
Stock issued and issuable in lieu of the cash payment of interest on the Unsecured SPA Notes in accordance with the terms thereof) (collectively,
the “Underlying Shares”) for such closing and each previous closing in the aggregate and (ii) with respect to any closing
the Underlying Shares of which, together with the Underlying Shares of all previous closings, exceed the unissued shares of Common Stock
reserved for issuance as Underlying Shares (the “Reserved Shares”), receipt by the Company of Stockholder Approval (as defined
below) (and the filing of an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to reflect the Stockholder Approval to the
extent needed); (b) solely with respect to the first closing under such Unsecured SPA Note, the Company’s receipt of bank statements
showing source(s) of funding with respect to the relevant Unsecured SPA Purchaser’s funding obligations under such Unsecured SPA
Note that are reasonably satisfactory to the Company; and (c) a minimum volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Common Stock equal
to no less than $0.10 during the five (5) trading days prior to such closing.
Each Unsecured SPA Purchaser has the option, from
time to time for 12 months after the date of the Unsecured SPA, to purchase additional convertible senior unsecured notes and warrants
on the same terms as the Unsecured SPA Notes in an aggregate amount not to exceed 50% (or with the prior written consent of the Company,
100%) of the initial principal amount of the Unsecured SPA Notes issued to such Unsecured SPA Purchaser, subject to certain conditions.
Additionally, from the date of the Unsecured SPA until the date that is the five-year anniversary of the date of the Unsecured SPA, upon
any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents for cash consideration, indebtedness
or a combination of units thereof (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Unsecured SPA) or an issuance of Common Stock or Common
Stock equivalents under Section 4.25 of the Secured SPA (each, a “Subsequent Financing”), each Unsecured SPA Purchaser that
then owns at least $20.0 million principal amount of Unsecured SPA Notes (when aggregated with any affiliates of such Unsecured SPA Purchaser)
shall each have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing such that such Unsecured SPA Purchaser’s
ownership of the Company remains the same immediately following such Subsequent Financing as its ownership immediately prior to such Subsequent
Financing, pursuant to the procedures outlined in the Unsecured SPA.
Pursuant to the Unsecured SPA, the Company is required to use its reasonable
best efforts to hold (a) one special meeting of stockholders to obtain stockholder approval to authorize the entirety of the excess of
the Underlying Shares over the Reserved Shares for issuance and for purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 to the extent needed (the “Authorized
Share Increase Approval”) as promptly as practical under the circumstances after the date of the Unsecured SPA and prior to the
date that is 60 days following the date of the Unsecured SPA, and (b) a separate special meeting of stockholders (which may also be at
the annual meeting of stockholders) to obtain stockholder approval, as is required by the Nasdaq listing rules, with respect to the issuance
of any shares of Common Stock in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Unsecured
SPA Notes and exercise of the Unsecured SPA Warrants being issued to the Unsecured SPA Purchasers pursuant to the Unsecured SPA (the “Nasdaq
Approval” and, together with the Authorized Share Increase Approval, the “Stockholder Approval”). The Company shall
use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such Stockholder Approval, including, if such Stockholder Approval is not obtained, seeking
Stockholder Approval at a new special meeting of stockholders and at each annual meeting of stockholders until the Unsecured SPA Notes
are no longer outstanding. Pursuant to the Unsecured SPA, FF Global irrevocably agreed to take reasonable efforts to vote in favor of
the Stockholder Approval. After the Authorized Share Increase Approval is obtained, the Company is required to file an amendment to its
certificate of incorporation to reflect the increase in authorized shares within ten (10) business days after the Authorized Share Increase
Approval is obtained. Additionally, if, on any date, it is determined that the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved)
shares of Common Stock is less than the “Required Minimum” (defined in the Unsecured SPA as the maximum aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock then issued or potentially issuable in the future pursuant to the Unsecured SPA, including any Underlying Shares
issuable upon exercise in full of all Unsecured SPA Warrants or conversion in full of all Unsecured SPA Notes (including Underlying Shares
issuable as payment of interest on the Notes), ignoring any conversion or exercise limits set forth therein) on such date, then the Company
will be required to use its reasonable best efforts to hold two special meetings of stockholders (which may also be at the annual meeting
of stockholders) to obtain approval to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum. The first such meeting must be held as soon as possible and in any event
not later than the 120th day after such determination date. If the required stockholder approval is not obtained at the first meeting,
then the second such meeting must be held not later than the 120th day after the first such meeting. If the required stockholder approval
is not obtained at either meeting, the Company will be required to use its reasonable best efforts to seek such approval at each subsequent
annual meeting of stockholders until such approval is obtained.
The Company is required to use its reasonable best
efforts to efforts (i) to file, on or prior to May 31, 2023, a registration statement providing for the resale by the Unsecured SPA Purchasers
of the Reserved Shares (the “First Registration Statement”); and (ii) to file, on or prior to the date that is 30 days following
the Company’s receipt of Stockholder Approval (and the filing of an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Company
to reflect such increased in authorized shares of Common Stock), a registration statement providing for the resale by the Unsecured SPA
Purchasers of all the remaining shares issuable pursuant to the financing documents (the “Second Registration Statement” and,
together with the First Registration Statement, the “Registration Statements”). The Company is also required to use reasonable
best efforts (i) to cause the First Registration Statement to become effective within 90 days following the date of the Unsecured SPA;
(ii) to cause the Second Registration Statement to become effective within 90 days following the Company’s filing thereof; and (iii)
to keep each Registration Statement effective at all times until no Unsecured SPA Purchaser owns any Unsecured SPA Notes, Unsecured SPA
Warrants, or shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof.
The foregoing description of the Unsecured SPA, the Unsecured SPA Notes,
the Unsecured SPA Warrants and the Equity Commitment Letters is a summary and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of Unsecured SPA, the Form of Unsecured Convertible Senior Promissory Note, the Equity Commitment
Letters and the Form of Common Stock Purchase Warrant filed as Exhibits 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current

Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise
of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on
or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date, after receipt of Company stockholder approval to increase the
Company’s authorized and uncommitted shares of Class A Common Stock to the extent needed (which approval, for the avoidance of
doubt, may be implemented by the Issuer through a reverse stock split that increases the number of authorized shares of the Issuer’s
Class A Common Stock) and for purposes of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 to the extent needed (the “Shareholder Approval”)
(and the filing of an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Company to reflect the Shareholder Approval to the extent
needed) and subject to Section 2(f) in each case unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Company, by delivery to the Company
(or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the
Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of
Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within two (2) Trading Days following the date of
exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise
by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c)
below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise (except as set forth in the preceding sentence). No ink-original Notice of Exercise
shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company
until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case,
the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of
Exercise is delivered to the Company. 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 $0.8925, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Cashless
Exercise. This Warrant may also 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 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).
d)
Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery
of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer
Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its 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) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, 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 (2) Trading Days 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 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 3rd 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
3rd 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 3rd 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 3rd 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. 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 9.99% 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 61st 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.
f) Issuance
Restrictions. If the Company has not obtained Shareholder Approval to the extent needed, then the Company may not issue upon exercise
of this Warrant any shares of Common Stock.
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 out of 30 consecutive Trading Days (the “Measurement Period,” which 30 consecutive Trading
Day period shall not have commenced until after the Effective Date) exceeds $15.00 (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 (10th)
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.
a) 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.
b) 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.
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 unless otherwise consented
to in writing by the Company, 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, during the period the Warrant is outstanding and after receipt of Shareholder Approval (and the filing of an amendment to the certificate
of incorporation of the Company reflecting the Shareholder Approval to the extent needed), it will reserve from its authorized and unissued
Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights
under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who
are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
will use commercially reasonable efforts to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants
that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof
(other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the
extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, 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 action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate
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 number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or 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.
i) 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, Mike Beck, email address david.beck@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.
j) 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.
k) 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.
l) 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.
m) Amendment.
This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
n) 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.
o) 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.

to time, the “SPA”), by and among Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”),
the financial institutions or other entities from time to time parties thereto (each a “Purchaser” and collectively,
the “Purchasers”) and FF Simplicity Ventures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as administrative agent and
collateral agent. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the SPA. This Amendment No. 8 is
referred to herein as this “Amendment No. 8”.
| a. | Acknowledgement regarding MFN and Anti-Dilution Adjustments; Waiver of Preemptive Right. |
Each Purchaser party hereto hereby acknowledges
that there is no right to amend its existing Notes as permitted under Section 2.5(b) of the SPA, no right to any downward adjustment
to the conversion price of the Notes pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Notes and no right to any downward adjustment to the exercise
price of the Warrants pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Warrants, as a result of or in connection with (a) the unsecured promissory
notes and related warrants contemplated by that certain unsecured convertible senior promissory notes – non-binding investor term
sheet attached as Exhibit A (the “Unsecured Notes”) or (b) the transactions contemplated by the Employee Share Purchase
Program (as defined below).
Each Purchaser party hereto hereby waives
its right to participate in future financings under Section 4.25(a) of the SPA in connection with the Unsecured Notes and the Employee
Share Purchase Program.
| 2. | Amendment to the Notes. |
With respect to each Note issued by
the Issuer to each Purchaser under the SPA and currently outstanding and each Note issuable by the Issuer to each Purchaser under the
SPA, each Purchaser party hereto and the Issuer hereby agree that,
| a. | The definition of “Floor Price,” as used in each such Note, shall be amended and restated
to read in its entirety as follows (which shall also apply to all prior Note conversions): |
““Floor Price” means
$0.10 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions occurring after
the date hereof) (or such lower amount as may be permitted by the principal Trading Market of the Common Stock from time to time).”
| b. | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in each such Note, the Issuer shall no longer be required to
pay interest to each Purchaser on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of each such Note quarterly on January
1, April 1, July 1 or October 1 under Section 2(a) of each such Note, and any reference to “Interest Payment Date” in each
such Note shall be revised to refer to each Conversion Date and the Maturity Date. For clarity, with respect to each Exchange Note held
by a Purchaser, all accrued and unpaid interest on such Exchange Note shall be paid upon each conversion of the Exchange Note and at the
maturity of such Exchange Note. |
| c. | Section 3(b) of each Tranche C Note and each Tranche D Note shall be amended and restated to read in its
entirety as follows: |
“(b) Conversion Price. The
conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $0.8925, subject to adjustment as set forth herein (the “Conversion
Price”).”
| d. | Section 3(c)(i) of each Tranche C Note and each Tranche D Note shall be amended and restated to read in
its entirety as follows: |
“i. Conversion Shares Issuable
Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by
the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted by the Conversion Price. Additionally,
on each Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, the sum of (A) all accrued interest on this Note to date plus
(B) all interest that would otherwise accrue on such principal amount of this Note if such converted principal would be held to six years
after the date hereof (the amount in clause (B), (the “Make-Whole Amount"))
minus (C) 50% of the original issue discount in respect of such converted portion of this Note; provided, however, at the election of
the Company, such interest and Make-Whole Amount may be paid in a combination of cash and Common Stock, otherwise pursuant to the terms
of Section 2.”
| e. | Section 2(b) of each Tranche C Warrant and each Tranche D Warrant shall be amended and restated to read
in its entirety as follows: |
“Exercise Price. The exercise price
per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.8925 subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).”
| f. | Clause (a) of the definition of Interest Conversion Rate in each Exchange Note shall be amended and restated
as follows: |
“(a) the greater of (i) the Floor
Price and (ii) 90% of the VWAP for the Trading Day that is immediately prior to the date on which interest is paid in shares of Common
Stock.”
| 3. | Employee Share Purchase Program. |
Each of the Purchasers party hereto
hereby consent and agree to the Issuer entering into a Stock Purchase Agreement, to be dated on or around the date hereof and substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit B, with certain of its employees whereby certain of the Issuer’s employees agree to invest in the
Issuer’s shares of Common Stock, notwithstanding any provision of the SPA, including Section 5.9 of the SPA.
| 4. | Consent to Related Party Transactions. |
Each of the Purchasers party hereto
hereby consent and agree for all purposes under the SPA, including Section 13.6, to all transactions contemplated under the Unsecured
Notes.
| a. | The provisions of this Amendment No. 8 shall become effective against each Purchaser upon the execution
and delivery by such Purchaser of a counterpart hereto and shall be effective against all Purchasers upon the execution and delivery of
counterparts hereto by the requisite number of Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the SPA. |
| b. | In order to induce the applicable Purchasers to enter into this Amendment No. 8, the Issuer hereby represents
and warrants to the applicable Purchasers, immediately after giving effect to this Amendment No. 8, as of the date hereof and in each
case, that all material non-public information regarding the Issuer or any other Credit Party that has been disclosed to the applicable
Purchasers on or prior to the date hereof, has been disclosed in the Issuer’s public filings with the Commission prior to the date
hereof or will be disclosed within one Business Day of such disclosure. |
| c. | Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing contained herein shall constitute or be deemed
to be a waiver or amendment of, or consent to any departure from any other term or provision in the SPA or any other Financing Document,
each of which shall continue unmodified and in full force and effect, nor shall the foregoing consent and amendment constitute a course
of dealing among the parties. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Purchaser reserves all of its rights and remedies under the
SPA and the Financing Documents. |
| d. | On or before 9:00 a.m., New York time, on the
date of this Amendment No. 8, the Issuer shall file a Current Report on
Form 8-K describing all the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby in the form required by the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, and attaching the form of this Amendment No. 8 (including
all attachments, the “8-K Filing”). From and after the filing of the 8-K Filing, the Issuer shall have disclosed all material,
non-public information (if any) provided to each Purchaser by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, effective upon the filing of the
8-K Filing, the Issuer acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written
or oral, between the Issuer, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents,
on the one hand, and each Purchaser or any of its affiliates, on the other hand, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Amendment
No. 8, shall terminate. |
| e. | This Amendment No. 8 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 Amendment No. 8 by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery
of a manually executed counterpart hereof. |
| f. | THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH
OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT NO. 8, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ITS VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT,
WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS OF SUCH STATE. |

Section
2. Interest.
| (a) | The
Issuer shall pay interest to the Holder on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding
principal amount of this Note (including any Make-Whole Amount payable upon conversion of
this Note) at the rate of 10 % per annum, payable on each Conversion Date and on the Maturity
Date (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”) (if any Interest Payment
Date is not a Business Day, then the applicable payment shall be due on the next succeeding
Business Day), in cash or, at the Issuer’s option, in duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Interest Conversion Shares”)
at the Interest Conversion Rate (the dollar amount to be paid in shares, the “Interest
Share Amount”) or a combination thereof; provided, however, that
payment in shares of Common Stock may only occur if (i) all of the Equity Conditions have
been met (unless waived by the Holder in writing) on the applicable Interest Payment Date
(the “Interest Notice Period”) and through and including the date such
shares of Common Stock are actually issued to the Holder, (ii) the Issuer shall have given
the Holder notice in accordance with the notice requirements set forth below (other than
the Make-Whole Amount which shall require notice from the Issuer within three (3) Trading
Days of a Notice of Conversion), and (iii) as to any Interest Share Amount, the effective
rate of interest shall be calculated at 15% per annum. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
during any periods that the Note is outstanding and an Event of Default is occurring, the
interest rate shall be 15% per annum if paid in cash only and 18% if paid in cash and stock
otherwise as set forth above. |
| (b) | Subject
to the terms and conditions herein, the decision whether to pay interest hereunder in cash,
shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof shall be at the sole discretion of the Issuer.
Prior to the commencement of any Interest Notice Period, the Issuer shall deliver to the
Holder a written notice of its election to pay interest hereunder on the applicable Interest
Payment Date either in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof (other than
with respect to any Make-Whole Payment which election shall be made within three (3) Trading
Days of the applicable Conversion Date). During any Interest Notice Period (or after the
election is made in connection with a Make-Whole Payment), the Issuer’s election (whether
specific to an Interest Payment Date or continuous) shall be irrevocable as to such Interest
Payment Date. Subject to the aforementioned conditions, failure to timely deliver such written
notice to the Holder shall be deemed an election by the Issuer to pay the interest on such
Interest Payment Date in cash. |
| (c) | Interest
shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30 calendar day
periods, and shall accrue daily commencing on the date of the [Fourth][Eighth] Closing until
payment in full of the outstanding principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest,
liquidated damages and other amounts which may become due hereunder, has been made. Payment
of interest in shares of Common Stock (other than the Interest Conversion Shares issued prior
to an Interest Notice Period) shall otherwise occur pursuant to Section 3 herein and, solely
for purposes of the payment of interest in shares, the Interest Payment Date shall be deemed
the Conversion Date. Interest shall cease to accrue with respect to any principal amount
converted, provided that, the Issuer actually delivers the Conversion Shares within the time
period required by Section 3(c) herein. Interest hereunder will be paid to the Person in
whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Issuer regarding registration and
transfers of this Note (the “Note Register”). Except as otherwise provided
herein, if at any time the Issuer pays interest partially in cash and partially in shares
of Common Stock to the holders of the Notes, then such payment of cash shall be distributed
ratably among the holders of the then-outstanding Notes based on their (or their predecessor’s)
initial purchases of Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. |
| (d) | All
overdue accrued and unpaid interest to be paid hereunder shall entail a late fee at an interest
rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law
(the “Late Fees”) which shall accrue daily from the date such interest
is due hereunder through and including the date of actual payment in full. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if, on any Interest Payment Date the Issuer has
elected to pay accrued interest in the form of Common Stock but the Issuer is not permitted
to pay accrued interest in Common Stock because it fails to satisfy the conditions for payment
in Common Stock set forth in Section 2(a) herein, then, at the option of the Holder, the
Issuer, in lieu of delivering either shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2 or
paying the interest payment in cash, shall deliver, within three (3) Trading Days of each
applicable Interest Payment Date, an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the number
of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the Holder in connection with the payment
of interest due on such Interest Payment Date multiplied by (y) the highest VWAP during the
period commencing on the Interest Payment Date and ending on the Trading Day prior to the
date such payment is actually made. |
Section
3. Conversion.
| (a) | Voluntary
Conversion. At any time until this Note is no longer outstanding, subject to Section
3(e), this Note shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at
the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time (subject to the conversion limitations
set forth in Section 3(d) and Section 3(e) hereof) (each a “Conversion”).
The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Issuer a Notice of Conversion, the
form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”),
specifying therein the principal amount of this Note to be converted, the Make-Whole Amount
(as defined below) and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the
“Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of
Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed
delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any
medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion
form be required. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically
surrender this Note to the Issuer unless the entire principal amount of this Note, plus all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been so converted in which case the Holder shall
surrender this Note as promptly as is reasonably practicable after such conversion without
delaying the Issuer’s obligation to deliver the shares on the Share Delivery Date.
Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount
of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Issuer shall
maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s).
The Issuer may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1) Business Day
of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of
this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following
conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this
Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof. |
| (b) | Conversion
Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be $0.8925 subject
to adjustment as set forth herein (the “Conversion Price”). |
| (c) | Mechanics
of Conversion. |
| i. | Conversion
Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares
issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing
the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted by the Conversion Price. Additionally,
on each Conversion Date, the Issuer shall pay to the Holder, in cash, the sum of (A) all
accrued interest on this Note to date plus (B) all interest that would otherwise accrue on
such principal amount of this Note if such converted principal would be held to six (6) years
from the date hereof (the amount in clause (B), (the “Make-Whole Amount”)
minus (C) 50% of the original issue discount in respect of such converted portion of this
Note; provided, however, at the election of the Issuer, such interest and Make-Whole
Amount may be paid in a combination of cash and Common Stock, otherwise pursuant to the terms
of Section 2. |
| ii. | Delivery
of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than two (2) Trading Days after each
Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Issuer shall deliver,
or cause to be delivered, to the Holder (A) the Conversion Shares which, on or after the
earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the [Fourth][Eighth] Closing to the extent permitted
under the Securities Act or (ii) the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends
and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Purchase Agreement)
representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Note
and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid interest (if the Issuer has elected
or is required to pay accrued interest in cash). On or after the earlier of (i) the six-month
anniversary of the [Fourth][Eighth] Closing to the extent permitted under the Securities
Act or (ii) the Effective Date, the Issuer shall deliver any Conversion Shares required to
be delivered by the Issuer under this Section 3 electronically through the Depository Trust
Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. |
| iii. | Failure
to Deliver Conversion Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion
Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the 3rd
Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written
notice to the Issuer at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind
such Conversion, in which event the Issuer shall promptly return to the Holder any original
Note delivered to the Issuer and the Holder shall promptly return to the Issuer the Conversion
Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice. |
| iv. | Obligation
Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Issuer’s obligations to issue and deliver
the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce
the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any
judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any
other Person of any obligation to the Issuer other than the terms hereof, and irrespective
of any other circumstance (other than a violation of law) which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Issuer to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion
Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver
by the Issuer of any such action the Issuer may have against the Holder. In the event the
Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount
hereof in accordance with the terms hereof, the Issuer may not refuse conversion based on
any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged
in any violation of any other agreement or for any other reason (other than a violation of
law), unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining
conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained. In the absence
of such injunction, the Issuer shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon
a properly noticed conversion. If the Issuer fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder
such Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii) by the 3rd Trading Day following
the Share Delivery Date, the Issuer shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $5 per Trading
Day for each Trading Day after such 3rd Trading Day following the Share Delivery
Date until such Conversion Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. |
| v. | Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. In addition
to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer fails for any reason to deliver
to the Holder such Conversion Shares by the 3rd Trading Day following the Share
Delivery Date pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii), and if after such 3rd Trading Day
following the Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm 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
Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to
such 3rd Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”),
then the Issuer shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available
to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase
price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y)
the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled
to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which
the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed and (B) at the option
of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed
rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have
been issued if the Issuer had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section
4(c)(ii). 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 conversion of this Note with respect
to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions)
giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately
preceding sentence, the Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall
provide the Issuer written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect
of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Issuer, evidence of the amount of such loss. |
| vi. | Reservation
of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Issuer covenants that it will at all times after
receipt of the Shareholder Approval (and the filing of an amendment to the Issuer’s
certificate of incorporation to reflect the Shareholder Approval to the extent needed) keep
available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose
of issuance upon conversion of this Note and payment of interest on this Note, each as herein
provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons
other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Notes), not less than such aggregate
number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth
in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions
of Sections 3(d) and (e)) upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of
this Note and payment of interest hereunder. The Issuer covenants that all shares of Common
Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and, if the Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities
Act, shall be registered for public resale in accordance with such Registration Statement. |
| vii. | Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued
upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise
be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Issuer shall at its election, either pay
a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied
by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share. |
| viii. | Transfer
Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Note shall
be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that
may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that
the Issuer shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a
name other than that of the Holder of this Note so converted and the Issuer shall not be
required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons
requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Issuer the amount of such tax or shall
have established to the satisfaction of the Issuer that such tax has been paid. The Issuer
shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion
and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation
performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion
Shares. |
| (d) | Holder’s
Conversion Limitations. The Issuer shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and
a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that
after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, 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 conversion of this Note 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) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal
amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution
Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any
other securities of the Issuer subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous
to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Notes or the
Warrants) 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 3(d), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained
in this Section 3(d) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation
to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties)
and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the reasonable discretion
of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s
determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned
by the Holder together with any Affiliates or Attribution Parties) and which principal amount
of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation,
and the Issuer 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 3(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
as reflected in (A) the Issuer’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the
Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Issuer, or (C)
a more recent written notice by the Issuer or the Issuer’s transfer agent setting forth
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder,
the Issuer shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm orally and 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 of the Issuer, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the
date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial
Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of this Note. The Holder, upon notice to the Issuer, may increase or decrease
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 3(d), 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
conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions
of this Section 3(d) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer. The
Beneficial Ownership Limitation 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) to correct
this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended
Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary
or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The preceding limitations contained
in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note. Holder shall not vote or
control the vote of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer in excess of 9.99% of the number
of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding immediately after giving effect to the
issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note (the “Vote Threshold”);
provided, that Issuer acknowledges and agrees that Holder may own in excess of the Vote Threshold;
provided, that Holder has irrevocably transferred to a non-affiliated U.S. entity voting
rights of all shares of Common Stock of Issuer in excess of such Vote Threshold. |
| (e) | Issuance
Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent needed, if
the Issuer has not obtained Shareholder Approval, then the Issuer may not issue, upon conversion
of this Note, shares of Common Stock; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Issuer may issue up to [ ● ]1 shares of Common
Stock upon conversion of this Note prior to obtaining Shareholder Approval, as long as there
are sufficient authorized but unissued and uncommitted shares. |
| (f) | Transfer
Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, for thirty (30) days
after [the Eighth Closing][the Fourth Closing], the shares of Common Stock underlying the
principal amount of this Note funded at each such Closing may not be directly or indirectly
transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of without the prior written consent of the Issuer
(which written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing
in this Section 3(f) shall restrict the ability of the Holder to pledge shares of Common
Stock issued upon conversion of this Note. |
Section
4. Certain Adjustments.
| (a) | Stock
Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Issuer, at any time while this Note is outstanding:
(i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares
of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance
of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Issuer upon conversion
of, or payment of interest on, the Notes), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split)
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the
event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of
the Issuer, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Issuer)
outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant
to this Section 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, at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Issuer or any Subsidiary,
as applicable, sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice,
or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase
or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person
to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the
then Conversion Price (such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”
and such effective price, the “Base Price”)) (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 lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred
for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then simultaneously
with the consummation (or, if earlier, the announcement) of each Dilutive Issuance the Conversion
Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment
will be made under this Section 4(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance or an adjustment under
Section 4(a). The Issuer shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day
following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section
4(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 Issuer provides a Dilutive
Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 4(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance,
the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the adjusted Conversion
Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately
refers to the adjusted Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion. |
| 1 | To be the Note’s proportionate share of underlying shares
that can be issued in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 |
| (c) | Voluntary
Adjustment. Subject to the rules and regulations of the principal Trading Market of the
Common Stock, the Issuer may at any time during the term of this Note, with the prior written
consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Conversion Price of this Note to any amount
and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Issuer. |
| (e) | Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) the Issuer, directly
or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of
the Issuer with or into another Person, (ii) the Issuer (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken
as a whole), 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, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange
offer (whether by the Issuer or another Person) 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 more than 50% of the outstanding
Common Stock, (iv) the Issuer, 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, or (v) the Issuer, 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 Person whereby such other Person 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 conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each
Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to
the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section
3(d) or Section 3(e) on the conversion of this Note), 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 Note is convertible immediately prior
to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 3(d) or Section
3(e) on the conversion of this Note). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination
of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration
based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common
Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Issuer shall apportion the Conversion 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 conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. |
| (f) | Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 4 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 4, 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 any treasury shares of the Issuer) issued and outstanding. |
| i. | Adjustment
to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision
of this Section 4, the Issuer shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth
the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment. |
| ii. | Notice
to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Issuer shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Issuer shall declare a special
nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Issuer shall authorize
the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of 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 Issuer shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the
Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Issuer(and all of its Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Issuer, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into
other securities, cash or property or (E) the Issuer shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Issuer, then, in each case,
the Issuer shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of
conversion of this Note, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address
as it shall appear upon the Note Register, at least fifteen (15) 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 convert this Note during the 15-day period commencing
on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice
except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein. |
Presentment,
demand, protest and notice of presentment, demand, nonpayment and protest are each hereby waived by each Issuer.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, at no time shall Holder (a) be given rights that would allow it to control Issuer; (b) have access to any material
nonpublic technical information in the possession of Issuer; (c) have the right to appoint any member or observer to the board of directors
of Issuer; or (d) be involved, other than through voting of shares, in the Issuer’s substantive decisionmaking regarding (i) the
use, development, acquisition, safekeeping, or release of sensitive personal data of U.S. citizens that the Issuer 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 Issuer 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.
The
Holder hereby represents and warrants that: (a) it and its direct or indirect equityholders and their respective affiliates are not affiliates
or direct or indirect equityholders of, have no direct or indirect economic interest in, and have not directly or indirectly entered
into any agreement, arrangement or understanding (except as expressly set forth in the preceding sentence) with, any director, officer,
employee, manager, partner or equityholder (or any of their respective immediate family members (as defined in 40 CFR § 170.305)
or any affiliate or spouse of any such director, officer, employee, manager, partner, equityholder or immediate family member) of FF
Global Partners LLC, FF Global Partners Investment LLC (f/k/a FF Top Holding LLC), or any of their respective affiliates (each, a “Related
Person”); and (b) the transactions contemplated by or related to this Note will not directly or indirectly increase any Related
Person’s ownership or voting power of the Issuer, and no Related Person will, directly or indirectly, participate in any of the
post-closing operations or decisions of or have any other rights or obligations with respect to the Holder or any of its direct or indirect
equityholders or any of their respective affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph or otherwise in this Note
shall prohibit the Holder from the right to enter into any voting agreement or grant a voting proxy at any time and on any terms, with
or to FF Global Partners Investment LLC with respect to any shares of Common Stock held by the Holder.
The
Holder hereby agrees that promptly following the satisfaction of the Closing Conditions set forth in clause (a) of the definition thereof
with respect to the First Closing, the Holder will provide bank statements showing source(s) of funding with respect to the Holder’s
funding obligations under this Note with respect to the First Closing for purposes of satisfying the Closing Conditions set forth in
clause (b) of the definition thereof.
THIS
NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO
CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES. Whenever possible each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable law, but in case any provision of or obligation under this Note 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

Section
2. Exercise.
a) Exercise
of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on
or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date, after receipt of Company stockholder approval to increase the
Company’s authorized and uncommitted shares of Class A Common Stock to the extent needed (which approval, for the avoidance of
doubt, may be implemented by the Issuer through a reverse stock split that increases the number of authorized shares of the Issuer’s
Class A Common Stock) and for purposes of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 to the extent needed (the “Shareholder Approval”) (and
the filing of an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Company to reflect the Shareholder Approval to the extent needed)
and subject to Section 2(f) in each case unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Company, by delivery to the Company (or such
other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder
appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise
in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within two (2) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid,
the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer
or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified
in the applicable Notice of Exercise (except as set forth in the preceding sentence). No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required,
nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder
has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered
to the Company. 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 $0.8925, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Cashless
Exercise. This Warrant may also 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 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).
d)
Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery
of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer
Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its 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) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, 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 (2) Trading Days 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 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 3rd 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
3rd 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 3rd 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 3rd 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. 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 9.99% 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 61st 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.
f) Issuance
Restrictions. If the Company has not obtained Shareholder Approval to the extent needed, then the Company may not issue upon exercise
of this Warrant any shares of Common Stock.
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 out of 30 consecutive Trading Days (the “Measurement Period,” which 30 consecutive Trading
Day period shall not have commenced until after the Effective Date) exceeds $15.00 (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 (10th)
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.
a) 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.
b) 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.
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 unless otherwise consented
to in writing by the Company, 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, during the period the Warrant is outstanding and after receipt of Shareholder Approval (and the filing of an
amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Company reflecting the Shareholder Approval to the extent needed), it will reserve
from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute
full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase
rights under this Warrant. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided
herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock
may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance
herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the
Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, 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 action as may be reasonably necessary
or appropriate 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 number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or 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.
i) 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, Mike Beck, email address david.beck@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.
j) 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.
k) 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.
l) 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.
m) Amendment.
This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
n) 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.
o) 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.

Article 2
PURCHASE AND SALE
Section 2.1 Notes;
Repayment of Notes.
(a) Closing.
(i) Each
Closing (as defined in the Notes) shall take place as set forth in the Notes; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein or in the Notes, any Purchaser may postpone or cancel any Closing in its reasonable discretion if it reasonably determines, based
on public information, that the first phase of the Issuer’s three-phase delivery plan as disclosed in public filings has not begun
or will not begin prior to May 31, 2023 and/or the second phase of such delivery plan has not begun or will not begin prior to June 30,
2023, in each case within 15 calendar days of such deadline; and
(ii) The
Issuer acknowledges and agrees that if any notices or documents sent by the Issuer to any Purchaser contain any material non-public information,
such notices or documents must be sent either after the market closes or on a day other than a Business Day and the Issuer shall file
an 8-K immediately following the day such information was delivered before the market opens (unless the applicable Purchaser has agreed
to accept such information); provided that, any notice or other documentation withheld and not disclosed to the Purchasers as a
result of this paragraph shall not result in a violation of any other provision of the Financing Documents that may require the disclosure
of such notice or documentation.
(b) Maturity
Date. Subject to acceleration upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Agreement or termination
of this Agreement, and subject to the application of any prepayments in accordance with the terms hereof, the Notes shall become due and
payable, and the Issuer shall repay the Notes through, a payment equal to the full outstanding balance of the Notes on the applicable
Maturity Date.
(c) Optional
Prepayments of Notes. The Issuer may, from time to time, prepay the principal amount owing under the Notes, so long as: (A) Issuer
shall have provided at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice to the applicable Purchasers of such prepayment and with
delivery to the Purchasers of an appropriately completed Payment Notification (which notice, once given, shall be irrevocable but may
be conditioned on the consummation of other transactions), (B) such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of any Make-Whole Amount
set forth in the applicable Note, (C) the Equity Conditions (as defined in the Note) are met during each Business Day of such fifteen
(15) Business Day notice period, and (D) the Issuer have waived the restriction on transfer set forth in Section 3(f) under the Notes.
(d) Optional
Purchase of Additional Notes. Each Purchaser has the option upon written notice to the Issuer to purchase from time to time for twelve
(12) months from the Closing Date, additional convertible senior unsecured notes and warrants on the same terms as the Notes, and if such
option is exercised, the Issuer shall issue to such Purchaser additional convertible senior unsecured notes and warrants on the same terms
as the Notes in an amount not to exceed 50% (or with the prior written consent of the Issuer, the Issuer shall issue to such Purchaser
additional convertible senior unsecured notes and warrants on the same terms as the Notes in an amount not to exceed 100%) of the initial
principal amount of the Notes issued to such Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and purchased for cash (the “Additional Notes”).
Section 2.2 [Reserved].
Section 2.3 Mandatory
Payments.
There shall become due and
payable and the Issuer shall prepay the Notes in the following amounts and at the following times, and, in each case, subject to Section
2.3(c) and as otherwise permitted under the Secured SPA:
(a) Change
of Control. Within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of a Change of Control, an amount equal to all of the outstanding Obligations.
(b) Insolvency.
If the stockholders of the Issuer approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer, an amount equal to all
of the outstanding Obligations.
(c) General
Provisions. The Issuer shall deliver to each Purchaser an appropriately completed Payment Notification promptly upon the occurrence
of any event that gives rises to a mandatory prepayment. Any Purchaser may elect to waive all or any portion of the prepayments required
to be paid to such Purchaser in this Section 2.3 (or the Required Purchasers may elect to waive all or any portion of the prepayments
required to be paid to all Purchasers in this Section 2.3).
Section 2.4 Interest,
Fees and Calculations.
(a) Interest.
Interest shall accrue on, and be payable when and as set forth in, each Note.
(b) Default
Rate of Interest. Default interest shall accrue on, and be payable when and as set forth in, each Note.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) Maximum
Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest charged with respect to any Note or any other Obligation exceed the maximum amount permitted
under the laws of the State of New York or of any other applicable jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere,
if at any time the rate of interest payable hereunder or under any Note or other Financing Document (the “Stated Rate”)
would exceed the highest rate of interest permitted under any applicable Law to be charged (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”),
then for so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate;
provided that if at any time thereafter the Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Issuer shall, to the extent permitted
by Law, continue to pay interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received is equal to the total interest
which would have been received had the Stated Rate been (but for the operation of this provision) the interest rate payable. Thereafter,
the interest rate payable shall be the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which
event this provision shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Purchaser exceed the amount which it could
lawfully have received had the interest been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If, notwithstanding the prior
sentence, any Purchaser has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the
reduction of the principal balance of the Notes or to other amounts (other than interest) payable hereunder. If no such principal or other
amounts are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to the Issuer. In computing interest payable with reference
to the Maximum Lawful Rate applicable to any Purchaser, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful
Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made.
(e) The
Issuer agrees that the purchase price of each Note shall be reduced by an original issue discount equal to ten percent (10%) of such purchase
price (the “Original Issue Discount”), which Original Issue Discount shall be retained by the applicable Purchasers
via net funding, provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer agrees that, notwithstanding such deduction from the purchase
price of such Note, the Issuer remains liable to pay (i) the full principal amount of such Note (inclusive of the Original Issue Discount),
without giving effect to such deduction, and (ii) accrued interest shall be payable on the full outstanding principal amount of such Note,
without giving effect to such deduction.
Section 2.5 Notes;
MFN.
(a) The
portion of the Notes purchased by each Purchaser shall be evidenced by a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit C
hereto or such other form as shall be agreed between the Issuer and such Purchaser, executed by the Issuer in an original principal amount
equal to such Purchaser’s applicable share of the Notes.
(b) In
the event that, after any Purchaser (the “Specified Purchaser”) has committed to purchase Notes and Warrants hereunder
(the terms of any such purchased Notes and Warrants, the “Specified Terms”), the agreed economic or other material
terms of any Note or any Warrant (including pursuant to any side letter with such Purchaser that affects the agreed economic or other
material terms of such Notes or Warrants) issued simultaneously or thereafter pursuant to this Agreement are more favorable to the applicable
Purchaser of such Note or Warrant than the Specified Terms in any material respect, the Issuer and the Specified Purchaser shall amend
such Specified Purchaser’s Notes or Warrants to include such more favorable term(s) (such amendment(s) referred to as a “MFN
Amendment”).
Section 2.6 Provisions
Regarding Payment.
(a) General.
All payments to be made by the Issuer under any Financing Document, including payments of principal and interest made hereunder and pursuant
to any other Financing Document, and all fees, expenses, Make-Whole Amount, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made without setoff
or counterclaim. All payments by the Issuer hereunder shall be made directly to the Purchasers by wire transfer of immediately available
funds. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during
such extension (it being understood and agreed that, solely for purposes of calculating covenants and computations contained herein and
determining compliance therewith, if payment is made, in full, on any such extended due date, such payment shall be deemed to have been
paid on the original due date without giving effect to any extension thereto). Any payments received before 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on
any date shall be deemed received by such Purchaser on such date, and any payments received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on any date
shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day (unless otherwise agreed by such Purchaser).
(b) [Reserved].
(c) All
Prepayments. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, all mandatory prepayments of Notes shall be
applied (subject to Section 2.3(i), to any intercreditor arrangements existing among the Notes and as otherwise permitted under
the Secured SPA): first, against the principal balance of the Notes, until the same shall have been paid in full; and second, to the accrued,
payable, and unpaid interest in the order of maturity. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default,
all mandatory prepayments of Notes shall be applied (subject to Section 2.3(c) and as otherwise permitted under the Secured SPA):
first, to the accrued, payable, and unpaid interest in the order of maturity; and second, against the principal balance of the Notes,
until the same shall have been paid in full.
Section 2.7 Certain
Tax Matters. The Issuer and the Purchasers agree that, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1273-2(h), the Notes and the
Warrants constitute an “investment unit” for purposes of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Each Purchaser shall within 45 days following the Closing, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1273-2(h), propose to the Issuer
an allocation of the aggregate fair market value of the Warrants issued at Closing (the “Valuation”). If the Issuer
does not notify the Purchaser of any dispute or disagreement regarding the proposed Valuation within twenty (20) days of receipt, then
the Valuation shall become final. If the Issuer notifies the Purchaser of any such dispute or disagreement within twenty (20) days of
receipt, then the Issuer and the Purchaser shall endeavor in good faith to resolve such dispute with twenty (20) days after the Issuer
so notifies the Purchaser. If the Issuer and such Purchaser are unable to resolve the dispute, then such dispute shall be submitted to
an independent, nationally recognized valuation or financial advisory firm (mutually agreed to by the Issuer and such Purchaser) for
final resolution, with the costs of such valuation or financial advisory firm to be paid one-half by the Issuer and one-half by the applicable
Purchaser. Neither the
Issuer nor the Purchasers
will take any position for United States federal income Tax purposes that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 2.7 unless
otherwise required by the IRS or another Governmental Authority following an audit or examination.
Article 3
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce the Purchasers to
enter into this Agreement and to purchase the Notes and other transactions contemplated thereby, the Issuer hereby represents and warrants
to each Purchaser that the following are, and after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Financing
Documents will be, true, correct and complete as of each of the Closing Date and each Subsequent Closing Date:
Section 3.1 Existence
and Power. The Issuer and each Domestic Subsidiary (a) is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the
extent applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization, or formation (except,
solely in the case of any Subsidiary, where the failure to be in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect) which, with respect to the Issuer, is specified on Schedule 3.1, has the same legal name as it appears in such Person’s
Organizational Documents and an organizational identification number (if any), in each case as of the Closing Date as specified on Schedule 3.1,
and (b) has all powers and all governmental licenses, authorizations, registrations, permits, consents and approvals required under all
applicable Laws and required in order to carry on its business as now conducted (collectively, “Permits”), except
where the failure to have such Permits could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Issuer and each Domestic
Subsidiary is qualified to do business as a foreign entity in each jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, except where
the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1,
the Issuer has not had, over the five (5) year period preceding the Closing Date, any name other than its current name or was incorporated
or organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than its current jurisdiction of incorporation or organization. As of the Closing
Date, except for the Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 3.1, no Subsidiary exists.
Section 3.2 Organizational
Authority and Governmental Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of the Financing
Documents are (a) within its corporate powers, (b) have been duly authorized by all necessary action pursuant to its Organizational Documents,
(c) require no further approval, consent, exemption, authorization or other action by or in respect of, or filing with, or notice to,
any Governmental Authority (other than the filing of an amendment to the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation to reflect the Authorized
Share Increase Approval), except for (i) the approvals, consents, exemptions, authorizations, actions, notices and filings that have
been duly obtained, taken, given or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) those approvals, consents exemptions, authorization,
actions, notices and filings, the failure of which to obtain or make has not resulted in, or could not reasonably be expected, individually
or in the aggregate to result in a Material Adverse Effect and (d) do not and will not violate, conflict with or cause a breach or a
default under or a right of termination under (i) any of the Organizational Documents of the Issuer, after receipt of the Shareholder
Approval (and the filing of an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Issuer to reflect the Authorized Share Increase)
with respect the Authorized Share Increase or (ii) any applicable Law or any contract, agreement, lease or other instrument binding upon
it or its properties, except for such violations, conflicts, breaches or defaults or rights of termination as could not, with respect
to this clause (d)(ii), reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.3 Binding
Effect. Each of the Financing Documents constitutes a valid and binding agreement or instrument of the Issuer, enforceable against
the Issuer in accordance with its respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.
Section 3.4 Capitalization.
The authorized Capital Stock of each Domestic Subsidiary as of the Closing Date is as set forth on Schedule 3.4. All issued
and outstanding Capital Stock of each such Person is duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable (to the extent that
such concepts apply to such Capital Stock), free and clear of all Liens and such Capital Stock was issued in compliance with all applicable
Laws. The identity of the holders of the Capital Stock of each Domestic Subsidiary and the percentage of the fully diluted ownership
of the Capital Stock of each such Person as of the Closing Date is set forth on Schedule 3.4. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.4,
as of the Closing Date there are no preemptive or other outstanding rights, options, warrants, conversion rights or similar agreements
or understandings for the purchase or acquisition from any Domestic Subsidiary of any Capital Stock of any such Person.
Section 3.5 Financial
Information.
(a) Annual
Financial Statements. The historical annual financials of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2022, copies of which
have been delivered to each Purchaser, (i) were prepared substantially in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period
covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; (ii) fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition of
such Persons as of such date and their results of operations for the periods covered thereby in accordance with GAAP consistently applied
throughout the periods covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; and (iii) show all material indebtedness and other
liabilities, direct or contingent, of such Persons as of such date, including liabilities for taxes, material commitments and Debt.
(b) Unaudited
Interim Financial Statements. The historical interim financials of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2023, copies of
which have been delivered to each Purchaser, (i) were prepared substantially in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the
periods covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein, and (ii) fairly present, in all material respects, the financial
condition of such Persons as of such date and their results of operations for the periods covered thereby, subject, in the case of clauses
(i) and (ii), to the absence of footnotes and to normal year-end audit adjustments and adjustments for purchase accounting.
Section 3.6 Litigation.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3.6, there is no Litigation involving monetary damages in excess of $2,500,000 in the aggregate
pending against, or, to the knowledge of the Issuer or any Domestic Subsidiary, threatened in writing against the Issuer or any of its
respective properties.
Section 3.7 Ownership
of Property. The Issuer and each Domestic Subsidiary is the lawful owner of, has good and marketable title to and is in lawful possession
of, or has valid leasehold interests in, license to or right to use, all properties and other assets (except for Intellectual Property,
which is covered in Section 3.17, and real property, which is covered in Schedule 3.18) reported (by the Issuer) to be
owned or leased (as the case may be) by such Person, except (i) for any such properties which are immaterial to the operations of the
Issuer’s or such Domestic Subsidiary’s respective business or (ii) as may have been disposed of in the Ordinary Course of
Business or otherwise in compliance with the terms hereof.
Section 3.8 No Default.
Subject to the Note Waivers (including any cross-default under this Agreement that may arise as a matter of any Default or Event of Default

with respect to any Pension Plan which could result in the incurrence by the Issuer and Domestic Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, of any
liabilities, fines and penalties exceeding $500,000 (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, current PBGC premiums or other contributions
required by ERISA or other applicable Law in the ordinary course). The Issuer and Domestic Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, have not incurred
liabilities exceeding $500,000 to the PBGC (other than for current premiums) with respect to any Pension Plan. All contributions (if any)

is or has been funded at a rate less than that required under Section 412 or Section 431 of the Code, that any such plan is
or may be terminated, or that any such plan is or is expected to become insolvent.

other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Issuer or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection
with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.13(b), the Issuer may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Issuer an opinion of
counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Issuer, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities
Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have
the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement.
(b) The
Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.13, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following
form:
[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY
[NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [EXERCISE]
[CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN
WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER
LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The Issuer acknowledges and
agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant
a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined
in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured
Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Issuer and no legal opinion
of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required
of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Issuer will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee
or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.
(c) Certificates
evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.13(b) hereof): (i) while a
registration statement (including the Registration Statements) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities
Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants) without time,
volume or manner of sale limitations, (iii) if such Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise
of the Warrants) without time, volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements
of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Issuer shall
use reasonable best efforts to cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Purchaser promptly after the Effective
Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by a Purchaser, respectively, to
the extent set forth in the preceding sentence. If all or any portion of a Note is converted or Warrant is exercised at a time when there
is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule
144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants) as to such Underlying Shares and without time, volume or manner-of-sale restrictions
or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and
pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Issuer agrees
that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.13(c), it will, no later than
two (2) Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Issuer or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Underlying
Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to
be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Issuer
may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth
in this Section 4.13(c). Certificates for Underlying Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent
to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System (to the extent
the Issuer is a participant in the Depository Trust Company System) as directed by such Purchaser.
(d) In
addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Issuer shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages
and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted
to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.13(c), $5 per Trading Day for each Trading
Day after the 3rd Trading Day following the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii)
if the Issuer fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Purchaser by the 3rd Trading Day following Legend
Removal Date a certificate representing the Securities so delivered to the Issuer by such Purchaser that is free from all restrictive
and other legends and (b) if after the 3rd Trading Day following the Legend Removal Date 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 all or any portion of
the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares
of Common Stock that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Issuer without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the
excess of 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 (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”)
over the product of (A) such number of Underlying Shares that the Issuer was required to deliver to such Purchaser by the Legend Removal
Date multiplied by (B) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed.
(e) Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Issuer that such Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant
to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption
therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution
set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth
in this Section 4.13(e) is predicated upon the Issuer’s reliance upon this understanding.
Section 4.14 Acknowledgment
of Dilution. The Issuer acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Issuer further acknowledges that its obligations under
the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents,
are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of
any such dilution or any claim the Issuer may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may
have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Issuer.
Section 4.15 Furnishing
of Information; Public Information.
(a) The
Issuer covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g)
of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports
required to be filed by the Issuer after the Closing Date to the Exchange Act even if the Issuer is not then subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act.
Section 4.16 Integration.
Each of the form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and the form of Notice of Conversion included in the Notes set forth
the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Notes. Without limiting the
preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise or Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee
(or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise or Notice of Conversion form be required in order to exercise
the Warrants or convert the Notes. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers
to exercise their Warrants or convert their Notes. The Issuer shall honor exercises of the Warrants and conversions of the Notes and
shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents after
receipt of the Shareholder Approval (and the filing of an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Issuer to reflect the
Authorized Share Increase) with respect to the Authorized Share Increase.
Section 4.17 Conversion
and Exercise Procedures. Each of the form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and the form of Notice of Conversion included
in the Notes set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Notes.
Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise or Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any
medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise or Notice of Conversion form be required in
order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Notes other than receipt of the Shareholder Approval (and the filing of an amendment to
the certificate of incorporation of the Issuer to reflect the Authorized Share Increase) with respect to the Authorized Share Increase.
No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants or convert
their Notes other than any such information or documentation as the Issuer may reasonably request. The Issuer shall honor exercises of
the Warrants and conversions of the Notes and shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods
set forth in the Transaction Documents after receipt of the Shareholder Approval (and the filing of an amendment to the certificate of
incorporation of the Issuer to reflect the Authorized Share Increase) with respect to the Authorized Share Increase.
Section 4.18 Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Issuer shall, by no later than 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the first Business Day following the execution
of this Agreement, file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto, with the Commission. From
and after the filing of such Current Report on Form 8-K, the Issuer represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly disclosed
all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In
addition, effective upon the filing of such Current Report on Form 8-K, the Issuer acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality
or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Issuer, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
officers, directors, agents, employees, Affiliates or agents, on the one hand, and any of the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates on
the other hand, shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. The Issuer understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be
relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Issuer. The Issuer and each Purchaser shall consult
with each other in issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Issuer nor any Purchaser
shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Issuer, with respect
to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Issuer,
which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law or requested by a governmental
authority or self-regulatory organization, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice
of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not publicly disclose the name of any
Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without
the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with (i) any registration
statement under the Securities Act and (ii) the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) to the extent such
disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations or requested by a governmental authority or self-regulatory organization,
in which case the Issuer shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b) and reasonably
cooperate with such Purchaser regarding such disclosure.
Section 4.19 Shareholder
Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Issuer or, with the consent of the Issuer, any other Person, that any Purchaser
is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution
under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Issuer, or that any Purchaser
could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents
or under any other agreement between the Issuer and the Purchasers.
Section 4.20 Non-Public
Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.18, and as otherwise provided in this Agreement including Section 4.1 and Section 4.24,
the Issuer covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or
counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Issuer reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information, unless
prior thereto such Purchaser shall have consented in writing to the receipt of such information and agreed in writing with the Issuer
to keep such information confidential. The Issuer understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant
in effecting transactions in securities of the Issuer.
Section 4.21 Reservation
and Listing of Securities.
(a) After
receipt of the Shareholder Approval (and the filing of an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Issuer to reflect the Authorized
Share Increase), the Issuer shall at all times maintain a reserve of the Required Minimum from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock
for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the
Transaction Documents.
(b) If,
on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum
on such date, then the Board of Directors shall use reasonable best efforts to hold two special meetings of shareholders (which may also
be at the annual meeting of shareholders) to amend the Issuer’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number
of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time, as soon as possible and in any event
the first applicable Issuer stockholders meeting shall not be later than the 120th day after such date (and if the required Issuer stockholder
approval is not obtained at such meeting, then the second applicable Issuer stockholders meeting shall not be later than the 120th day
after the first applicable Issuer stockholders meeting, and if the required Issuer stockholder approval is not obtained at such second
meeting, the Issuer shall use reasonable best efforts to seek such approval at each subsequent annual meeting until such approval is obtained).
(c) The
Issuer shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market
an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date
of such application, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved
for listing or quotation on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing
or quotation as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof and (iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing or
quotation of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date on such Trading Market or another Trading
Market. The Issuer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer
through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of
fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
Section 4.22 Shareholder
Approval. In addition, the Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to hold (a) one special meeting of shareholders to obtain
the Authorized Share Increase Approval as promptly as practical under the circumstances after the Closing Date and prior to the date
that is sixty (60) days following the Closing Date and (b) a separate special meeting of shareholders (which may also be at the annual
meeting of shareholders) to obtain the Nasdaq 20% Approval as promptly as reasonably practical under the circumstances after the Closing
Date and prior to the date that is sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, in each case, with the recommendation of the Issuer’s
Board of Directors that such proposals be approved, and the Issuer shall solicit proxies from its shareholders in connection therewith
in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their
proxies in favor of such proposal. The Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such Shareholder Approval. If the Issuer
does not obtain the Shareholder Approval at such special meetings, the Issuer shall use reasonable best efforts to hold a new special
meeting within thirty (30) days from the date of such previous special meeting to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such Shareholder
Approval. If the Issuer does not obtain the Shareholder Approval at the most recent special meeting, the Issuer shall use reasonable
best efforts to seek such Shareholder Approval at each annual meeting thereafter (starting in 2024) until the earlier of the date the
Shareholder Approval is obtained, or the Notes are no longer outstanding. The Issuer shall file an amendment to its certificate of incorporation
to reflect the Authorized Share Increase within ten (10) Business Days after the Authorized Share Increase Approval is obtained. FF Global
Partners Investment LLC (formerly known as FF Top Holding LLC) hereby irrevocably agrees that it will take reasonable efforts to cause
all shares over which it controls voting power to vote in favor of the Shareholder Approval (including the Authorized Share Increase
Approval).
Section 4.23 Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it,
nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short
Sales, of any of the Issuer’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time
that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the filing of the Current Report on Form
8-K as described in Section 4.18. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time
as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Issuer pursuant to the filing of the Current Report
on Form 8-K as described in Section 4.18, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction
and the information included in the Disclosure Schedules (other than as disclosed to its legal and other representatives). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, and subject to anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary including Section 4.1 and Section 4.24, the Issuer
expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage
in effecting transactions in any securities of the Issuer after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first
publicly announced pursuant to the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K as described in Section 4.18, (ii) no Purchaser shall be
restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Issuer in accordance with applicable securities laws
from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the filing of the
Current Report on Form 8-K as described in Section 4.18 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to
trade in the securities of the Issuer to the Issuer, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees,
Affiliates or agent, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, after the issuance of the filing of the Current Report on Form
8-K as described in Section 4.18. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle
whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct
knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant
set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision
to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
Section 4.24 Blue
Sky Filings. Promptly following the Closing Date and prior to the issuance of any Securities hereunder, the Issuer shall take such
action as the Issuer shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale
to the Purchasers under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States and shall provide evidence
of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.
Section 4.25 Participation
in Future Financing.
(a) From
the Closing Date until the date that is the five-year anniversary of the Closing Date, upon any issuance by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries
of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration, indebtedness or a combination of units thereof other than an Exempt
Issuance (as defined in the Note) or Excluded Stock (as defined in the Warrant) or an issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
under Section 4.25 of the Secured SPA following a “Subsequent Financing” as defined in the Secured SPA (a “Subsequent
Financing”), each Purchaser that then owns at least $20,000,000 principal amount of Notes (when aggregated with any Affiliates
of such Purchaser) shall each have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to an amount of the Subsequent
Financing such that such Purchaser’s ownership of the Issuer (assuming conversion of the Notes and ignoring for such purpose any
conversion or exercise limitations included in the Notes) remains the same immediately following such Subsequent Financing as it ownership
immediately prior to such Subsequent Financing on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing subject
to this Section 4.25.
(b) At
least ten (10) days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Issuer shall deliver to each such Purchaser a written notice
of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser if it wants
to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”). Upon the request
of such Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Issuer shall promptly, but no later
than three (3) days after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Purchaser. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall
describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder
and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet or
similar document relating thereto as an attachment.
(c) Any
such Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Issuer by not later than 5:30 p.m.
(New York City time) on the seventh (7th) day after all of the Purchasers have received the Subsequent Financing Notice that such Purchaser
is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of such Purchaser’s participation, and representing and warranting
that such Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.
If the Issuer receives no such notice from a Purchaser as of such seventh (7th) day, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have
notified the Issuer that it does not elect to participate.
(d) If
by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh (7th ) day after all such Purchasers have received the Subsequent Financing
Notice, notifications by such Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees
to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount up to which such Purchasers may participate in the Subsequent Financing,
then the Issuer may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent
Financing Notice.
(e) The
Issuer must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchasers will again have the right of participation
set forth above in this Section 4.25, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated
for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within ninety (90) Trading Days after the date of the initial
Subsequent Financing Notice.
(f) The
Issuer and each Purchaser agrees that if any Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents related
to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision that is intended to exclude one or more of the Purchasers from participating
in a Subsequent Financing.

and (b) such Obligations, shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable, with accrued interest and any Make-Whole Amount thereon,

of whether such balances are then due to the Issuer), and (b) other property at any time held or owing by such Purchaser to or for the
credit or for the account of the Issuer, against and on account of any of the Obligations. Any Purchaser exercising a right to set off

Obligations or make such other adjustments as would be necessary to cause all Purchasers to share the amount so set off with each other

the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

during the continuance of an Event of Default, all payments received on account of the Obligations, including all payments received by
any Purchaser in respect of the Obligations, shall, subject to the terms of any applicable intercreditor agreement, be applied as follows:

described in this clause (i) payable to them;
(b) second,
to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest, including any interest that accrues after the

to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Notes, ratably among the Purchasers in proportion to

the Notes and shall not exceed an aggregate of $400,000.
Section 9.2 Indemnity.
In consideration for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Purchasers and the agreement to purchase the Notes provided
hereunder, the Issuer hereby agrees to indemnify, pay and hold harmless the Purchasers and their respective Affiliates and the officers,
directors, employees, trustees, agents, investment advisors, collateral managers, servicers, and counsel of the Purchasers and their
respective Affiliates (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (but limited,
in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses of one (1) firm of counsel
to all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole in each
relevant jurisdiction that is material to the interest of such Indemnitees (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple material
jurisdictions), and solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest between Indemnitees (where the Indemnitee affected
by such conflict of interest informs the Issuer in writing of such conflict of interest), one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction
to each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated taken as a whole), in connection with any investigative, remedial, administrative,
judicial or other like matter or proceeding (whether initiated or threatened), whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party
thereto and including any such proceeding initiated by or on behalf of the Issuer or Subsidiary, and the reasonable expenses of investigation
by engineers, environmental consultants and similar technical personnel and any commission, fee or compensation claimed by any broker
(other than any broker retained by the Purchasers) asserting any right to payment for the transactions contemplated hereby, which may
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee as a result of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, the other Financing Documents, the Notes and other Obligations and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including
the Closing Date Transactions and the Subsequent Closing Date Transactions (including (a)(i) as a direct or indirect result of the presence
on or under, or escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission or release from, any property now or previously owned, leased
or operated by the Issuer or any Subsidiary thereof of any Hazardous Materials or any Hazardous Materials Contamination, (ii) arising
out of or relating to the offsite disposal of any materials generated or present on any such property or (iii) arising out of or resulting
from the environmental condition of any such property or the applicability of any governmental requirements relating to Hazardous Materials,
whether or not occasioned wholly or in part by any condition, accident or event caused by any act or omission of the Issuer or Subsidiary,
and (b) proposed and actual extensions of credit under this Agreement) and the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Notes, except
that the Issuer shall have no obligation hereunder to an Indemnitee with respect to any liability resulting from (A) the fraud, bad faith,
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction,
(B) a material breach of any obligations of such Indemnitee under any Financing Document by such Indemnitee in bad faith, as determined
by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (C) disputes solely among Indemnitees not arising from the
conduct of the Issuer. To the extent that the undertaking set forth in the immediately preceding sentence may be unenforceable, the Issuer
shall contribute the maximum portion which they are permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction
of all such indemnified liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. This Section 9.2 shall not apply to claims for expenses
or indemnification for Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. All Obligations
provided for in this Section 9.2 shall survive repayment of the Notes and cancellation of the Notes. All amounts due under this Section
9.2 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor.
Article 10
TAXES; YIELD PROTECTION
Section 10.1 Taxes.
(a) Gross
Up for Taxes. All payments of principal and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder or under any Financing Document
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp, documentary, property or franchise
taxes, and other taxes, fees, duties, levies, assessments, withholdings or other charges (including interest, additions to tax and penalties
thereon) imposed by any taxing authority (“Taxes”), unless otherwise required by applicable Law. If any withholding
or deduction from any payment to be made by the Issuer to any Purchaser hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any
applicable Law, then the Issuer will (1) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted,
(2) promptly forward to such Purchaser an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to such Purchaser evidencing such payment
to such authority, and (3) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, pay to such Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as is necessary
to ensure that the net amount actually received by such Purchaser will equal the full amount it would have received had no such withholding
or deduction been required.
(b) Other
Taxes. The Issuer agrees to timely pay to the applicable Governmental Authority any present or future stamp, intangible, recording
or documentary Taxes or any other similar Taxes that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance,
recordation, or filing of, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement or any other Financing Document, except any such Taxes that are
Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (“Other Taxes”).
(c) Indemnification.
The Issuer shall jointly and severally indemnify the Purchasers, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or
paid by the Purchasers or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Purchasers and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Issuer by a Purchaser shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(d) Foreign
Purchasers. Each 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 United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, or W-8IMY (as
applicable) and other applicable forms, certificates or documents prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service or reasonably
requested as to such Purchaser’s entitlement to a complete exemption from withholding or deduction of Taxes, if any, on or prior
the date on which such Foreign 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). Any Foreign Purchaser that is relying on the portfolio interest
exception of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, shall also provide each Issuer along with IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E,
as applicable, a certificate representing to each Issuer that such Foreign Purchaser is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c)
of the Code, is not a 10% holder of any Issuer described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, is not a controlled foreign corporation
receiving interest from a related person (within the meaning of Sections 881(c)(3)(C) and 864(d)(4) of the Code) and is not a conduit
entity participating in a conduit financing arrangement as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.881-3, at such time (and from
time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuer). Each Purchaser shall provide new forms (or successor forms) or certificates
upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms, to the extent legally entitled to do so, and to promptly notify
each Issuer of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. If a payment made
to a Purchaser under any Financing Document or any payment would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser
were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b)
of the Code, as applicable), such Purchaser shall deliver to the Issuer, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times
reasonably requested by the Issuer, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)
of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Issuer as may be necessary for the Issuer to comply with its
obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Purchaser has complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine
the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of the preceding sentence, “FATCA” shall include
any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 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 Issuer 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 Issuer), 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 Issuer 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 Issuer of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed
exemption or reduction.
(f) [Reserved].
(g) Treatment
of Certain Refunds. So long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, if any Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion exercised
in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.1 (including
by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 10.1), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to
such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund),
net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall
repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed
by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any
amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable
net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund
had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had
never been paid. This paragraph (g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any
other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
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), the Issuer 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), the Issuer 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.
Article 11
[Reserved]
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 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 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 the Issuer 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 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 each other
Purchaser and the Issuer; 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

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 12.5 Amendments
and Waivers.
(a) General
Provisions. No provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document may be amended, waived or otherwise modified unless such
amendment, waiver or other modification is in writing and is signed or otherwise approved by the Issuer and Required Purchasers; provided
that no such amendment, waiver or other modification shall, unless signed or otherwise approved in writing by all Purchasers directly
affected thereby, (A) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on, or any fees (including any make-whole or liquidated damage provisions)
with respect to the Notes or forgive any principal, interest, or fees, other than as a result of a waiver of an Event of Default and/or
the default rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.4(b), (B) defer, extend or postpone the date fixed for, or waive or forgive,
any payment (other than a payment pursuant to Section 2.3) of principal of the Notes, or of interest (other than the default
rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.4(b)) on the Notes or fees hereunder or defer, extend or postpone the date of termination
of the commitment of any Purchaser hereunder, (C) change the definition of the term Required Purchasers, (D) amend Article 2 in
a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, (E) subordinate all or substantially all of the Obligations,
(F) amend, waive or otherwise modify compliance with Section 2.5(b), Section 4.16, Section 4.17, Sections 8.1(o), (p) or (q) or the definitions
of the terms used in those Sections insofar as the definitions materially affect the substance of those Sections or (G) amend, waive or
otherwise modify this Section 12.5(a) or the definitions of the terms used in this Section 12.5(a) insofar as
the definitions affect the substance of this Section 12.5(a); provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, (x) the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Notes shall not constitute a postponement of
any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest and (y) a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Article 7
or the waiver of any Default or Event of Default (in each case other than pursuant to Section 8.1(a)) shall not constitute a postponement
of any date scheduled for, or a reduction in the amount of, any payment of interest or any payment of fees. It is hereby understood and
agreed that all Purchasers shall be deemed directly affected by an amendment, waiver or other modification of the type described in the
preceding clauses (C), (D), (E), (F) or (G) of the preceding sentence. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing
Document shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given. No delay on the part of
any Purchaser in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or
remedy. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in any Financing Document, the Issuer and the holder of any Note
hereunder may agree to amend, waive or otherwise modify the terms of such Note, and/or the Issuer and the holder of such Note may waive
any right or condition under, or the protection of any provision under, this Agreement, solely with respect to, or relating to, the rights
of such Purchaser, in each case, without the consent of any other Purchaser or any other party hereto.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) Miscellaneous.
Anything in this Section 12.5 to the contrary notwithstanding, any amendment, modification, elimination, waiver, consent, termination,
or release of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document that relates only to the relationship
of the Purchasers among themselves, and that does not affect the rights or obligations of the Issuer, shall not require consent by or
the agreement of the Issuer.
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 to purchase additional Notes 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 Issuer 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
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 Issuer any prior Note held by it.
(iii) The
Issuer 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 Issuer 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 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 Issuer. 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 Issuer, 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 the Issuer 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 Issuer 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 the 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 Issuer
agrees 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 Issuer agrees 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 Issuer, 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 Issuer 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.
(c) Issuer
Assignments. The Issuer may not 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 each Purchaser.
Section 12.7 Headings.
Headings and captions used in the Financing Documents (including the Exhibits, Schedules and Annexes hereto and thereto) are included
for convenience of reference only and shall not be given any substantive effect.
Section 12.8 [Reserved].
Section 12.9 Waiver
of Consequential and Other Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Issuer shall not assert, and 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.
No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed
by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other
Financing Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 12.12 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL.
THE ISSUER AND EACH PURCHASER
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE FINANCING
DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT

Article 13
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS
Each Purchaser hereby represents
and warrants as follows:
Section 13.1 Authorization;
No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each Purchaser of this Agreement and each other Financing Document to
which it is a party: (a) is within its power and authority and has been duly authorized by all necessary action; (b) does not
contravene the terms of its Organizational Documents or any amendment thereof; and (c) will not violate, conflict with or result
in any breach or contravention of any of its contractual obligations, or any order or decree directly relating to it.
Section 13.2 Binding
Effect. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Purchaser and this Agreement constitutes its legal, valid and
binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.
Section 13.3 No Legal
Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by each Purchaser will not violate any requirement of Law applicable
to it.
Section 13.4 Securities
Laws.
(a) The
Securities are being or will be acquired by each Purchaser hereunder for the purpose of investment for its own account, not as a nominee
or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof in any transaction which would be in violation
of the Securities Act or state securities laws or which would require the issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder to be registered
under the Securities Act, subject, however, to the disposition of each Purchaser’s property being at all times within its control.
Each Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Securities in violation
of the Securities Act. Each Purchaser does not have any agreement or understanding, whether or not legally binding, direct or indirect,
with any other Person to sell or otherwise distribute the securities to be issued to it hereunder.
(b) Each
Purchaser is an (1) “accredited investor” as (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Securities
Act”)), or (2) institutional “accredited investor” (as described in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act) with such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as are necessary in order to
evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities, and understands that the offer and sale of the Securities meets the
exemptions from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(C) or (J); and (i) such Purchaser (1) is an institutional account as defined in FINRA
Rule 4512(c), (2) is a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in private equity transactions and capable of evaluating investment
risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities
and (3) has exercised independent judgment in evaluating its participation in the purchase of the Securities, and accordingly, understands
that the placement of the Securities meets (x) the exemptions from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(A) and (y) the institutional customer
exemption under FINRA Rule 2111(b).
(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 Issuer is 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. Furthermore, each Purchaser understands that the Issuer may not be eligible to conduct
an offering pursuant to Regulation D. Each Purchaser acknowledges that: (A) it has no right to require registration of the Notes or Warrants
under the Securities Act or any “blue sky” laws, and (B) there is not now and is not contemplated to be any public market
for the Notes or Warrants. As a result, each Purchaser is prepared to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Notes and Warrants
for an indefinite period of time.
(d) Each
Purchaser and its advisors (i) have been furnished with or have had access to all material books and records of the Issuer and all of
its material contracts, agreements and documents and (ii) have had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers, and to obtain
any additional information to verify the accuracy of any information previously furnished, from management and representatives of the
Issuer and which representatives have made available to them such information regarding the Issuer and their current respective businesses,
operations, assets, finances, financial results, financial condition and prospects in order to make a fully informed decision to purchase
and acquire the Securities. Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, each Purchaser has not relied on any statements or other
information provided by anyone other than the Issuer concerning the Issuer, the Securities or the offer and sale of the Securities. Each
Purchaser acknowledges that it has made its own assessment and is satisfied concerning the relevant tax and other economic considerations
relevant to the Purchaser’s acquisition of the Securities.
(e) Each
Purchaser has generally such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, and with respect to investments in securities
of privately held companies, as to enable it to understand and evaluate the risks of an investment in the Securities and form an investment
decision with respect thereto. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties set forth in Article
3 of this Agreement or in any other Financing Document or the right of the Purchasers to rely thereon.
(f) Each
Purchaser understands that the exemption from registration of resales of the Securities afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which
are known to the Purchaser) promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act depends on the satisfaction of various conditions, including the
requirement that the Issuer has been subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15 of the Securities Act for at least
ninety (90) days and that, if applicable, Rule 144 affords the basis for such sales only in limited amounts and that the Issuer do not
now qualify under Rule 144 and may not ever. Each Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement shall require the Issuer or any
of its Subsidiaries to make any filing under the Securities Act or Exchange Act which the Issuer or its Subsidiaries are not otherwise
obligated to make.
Section 13.5 Governmental
Authorization; Third Party Consent. No approval, consent, compliance, exemption or authorization of any Governmental Authority or
any other Person in respect of any requirement of Law, and no lapse of a waiting period under a requirement of Law, is necessary or required
in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by it or enforcement against the Purchasers of this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby. No consent is required to be obtained under any contractual obligation applicable to the Purchasers in connection
with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents to which it is a party.
Section 13.6 [Reserved].
Section 13.7 Organization.
Each Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization, and except as has
not had or would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on such Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations
under the Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis. Each Purchaser is duly qualified to do business
and is in good standing in all jurisdictions where its ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires it to
be so qualified.
Section 13.8 Independent
Investment Decision. Each Purchaser has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase the Securities pursuant to
this Agreement and conducted and relied upon its own due diligence investigation of the Issuer and its own in-depth analysis of the merits
and risks of the purchase of the Securities. Each Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented
by or on behalf of the Issuer to such Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment
advice. Each Purchaser is a sophisticated institutional accredited investor with extensive expertise and experience in financial and
business matters and in evaluating private companies and purchasing and selling their securities and has such knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities, and has consulted
such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase
of the Securities.
Section 13.9 No Governmental
Review. Each Purchaser understands that no U.S. federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed
on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor
have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.
Section 13.10 Residency.

forth for such Purchaser set forth on such Purchaser’s signature page to this Agreement.
Section 13.11 Ownership.

convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any other equity or equity-linked security of the Issuer.
Section 13.12 No
Brokers. No Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right, interest or claim
against or upon the Issuer or any Purchaser for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding
entered into by or on behalf of any Purchaser.
Section 13.13 No
Reliance. Each Purchaser is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any Person,
except for the representations and warranties by the Issuer contained in this Agreement.
Section 13.14 Financial
Capacity. Each Purchaser has, and as of the Closing Date, will have, sufficient cash on hand in a U.S. bank account or uncalled capital
commitments from creditworthy parties without any condition to fund such Purchaser’s commitment to purchase Notes on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Such cash has been obtained by such Purchaser in compliance with all applicable laws.
Section 13.15 Non-Recourse .
Each Purchaser’s contractual obligations hereunder shall be without recourse to its Affiliates, and the officers, directors, employees,
managers, trustees and other agents of such Purchaser or its Affiliates. The Issuer’s contractual obligations hereunder or under
any Financing Document shall be without recourse to its Affiliates, and the officers, directors, employees, managers, trustees and other
agents of the Issuer or its Affiliates.
Section 13.16 No
Related Party Relationships. Except as set forth in Schedule 13.16 or as otherwise disclosed to the Issuer in writing, each Purchaser
and its direct or indirect equityholders and their respective affiliates are not affiliates or direct or indirect equityholders of, have
no direct or indirect economic interest in, and have not directly or indirectly entered into any agreement, arrangement or understanding
(except as expressly set forth in the preceding sentence) with, any director, officer, employee, manager, partner or equityholder (or
any of their respective immediate family members (as defined in 40 CFR § 170.305) or any affiliate or spouse of any such director,
officer, employee, manager, partner, equityholder or immediate family member) of any other Purchaser, FF Global Partners LLC, FF Global
Partners Investments LLC (formerly known as FF Top Holding LLC), or any of their respective affiliates (each, a “Related Person”).
Except as set forth in Schedule 13.16 or as otherwise disclosed to the Issuer in writing, the transactions contemplated by or related
to this Agreement will not directly or indirectly increase any Related Person’s ownership or voting power of the Issuer, and no
Related Person will, directly or indirectly, participate in any of the post-closing operations or decisions of or have any other rights
or obligations with respect to such Purchaser or any of its direct or indirect equityholders or any of their respective affiliates. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this Section 13.16 or otherwise in this Agreement shall prohibit any Purchaser from the right to enter into
any voting agreement or grant a voting proxy at any time after the date hereof and on any terms, with or to FF Global Partners Investments
LLC (formerly known as FF Top Holding LLC) with respect to any shares of Common Stock held by such Purchaser.

Article 2
PURCHASE AND SALE
Section 2.1
Notes; Repayment of Notes.
(a)
Closing.
(i)
Each Closing (as defined in the Notes) shall take place as set forth in the Notes; provided that, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein or in the Notes, any Purchaser may postpone or cancel any Closing in its reasonable discretion if it reasonably
determines, based on public information, that the first phase of the Issuer’s three-phase delivery plan as disclosed in public filings
has not begun or will not begin prior to May 31, 2023 and/or the second phase of such delivery plan has not begun or will not begin prior
to June 30, 2023, in each case within 15 calendar days of such deadline; and
(ii)
The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that if any notices or documents sent by the Issuer to any Purchaser contain any material non-public
information, such notices or documents must be sent either after the market closes or on a day other than a Business Day and the Issuer
shall file an 8-K immediately following the day such information was delivered before the market opens (unless the applicable Purchaser
has agreed to accept such information); provided that, any notice or other documentation withheld and not disclosed to the Purchasers
as a result of this paragraph shall not result in a violation of any other provision of the Financing Documents that may require the
disclosure of such notice or documentation.
(b)
Maturity Date. Subject to acceleration upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under this
Agreement or termination of this Agreement, and subject to the application of any prepayments in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Notes shall become due and payable, and the Issuer shall repay the Notes through, a payment equal to the full outstanding balance of the
Notes on the applicable Maturity Date.
(c)
Optional Prepayments of Notes. The Issuer may, from time to time, prepay the principal amount owing under the Notes, so
long as: (A) Issuer shall have provided at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice to the applicable Purchasers of such
prepayment and with delivery to the Purchasers of an appropriately completed Payment Notification (which notice, once given, shall be
irrevocable but may be conditioned on the consummation of other transactions), (B) such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment
of any Make-Whole Amount set forth in the applicable Note, (C) the Equity Conditions (as defined in the Note) are met during each Business
Day of such fifteen (15) Business Day notice period, and (D) the Issuer have waived the restriction on transfer set forth in Section 3(f)
under the Notes.
(d)
Optional Purchase of Additional Notes. Each Purchaser has the option upon written notice to the Issuer to purchase from
time to time for twelve (12) months from the Closing Date, additional convertible senior unsecured notes and warrants on the same terms
as the Notes, and if such option is exercised, the Issuer shall issue to such Purchaser additional convertible senior unsecured notes
and warrants on the same terms as the Notes in an amount not to exceed 50% (or with the prior written consent of the Issuer, the Issuer
shall issue to such Purchaser additional convertible senior unsecured notes and warrants on the same terms as the Notes in an amount not
to exceed 100%) of the initial principal amount of the Notes issued to such Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and purchased for cash
(the “Additional Notes”).
Section 2.2
[Reserved].
Section 2.3
Mandatory Payments.
There shall become due and
payable and the Issuer shall prepay the Notes in the following amounts and at the following times, and, in each case, subject to Section
2.3(c) and as otherwise permitted under the Secured SPA:
(a)
Change of Control. Within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of a Change of Control, an amount equal to all of the
outstanding Obligations.
(b)
Insolvency. If the stockholders of the Issuer approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer,
an amount equal to all of the outstanding Obligations.
(c)
General Provisions. The Issuer shall deliver to each Purchaser an appropriately completed Payment Notification promptly
upon the occurrence of any event that gives rises to a mandatory prepayment. Any Purchaser may elect to waive all or any portion of the
prepayments required to be paid to such Purchaser in this Section 2.3 (or the Required Purchasers may elect to waive all or any
portion of the prepayments required to be paid to all Purchasers in this Section 2.3).
Section 2.4
Interest, Fees and Calculations.
(a)
Interest. Interest shall accrue on, and be payable when and as set forth in, each Note.
(b)
Default Rate of Interest. Default interest shall accrue on, and be payable when and as set forth in, each Note.
(c)
[Reserved].
(d)
Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest charged with respect to any Note or any other Obligation exceed the
maximum amount permitted under the laws of the State of New York or of any other applicable jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein or elsewhere, if at any time the rate of interest payable hereunder or under any Note or other Financing Document
(the “Stated Rate”) would exceed the highest rate of interest permitted under any applicable Law to be charged (the
“Maximum Lawful Rate”), then for so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable
shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided that if at any time thereafter the Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful
Rate, the Issuer shall, to the extent permitted by Law, continue to pay interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total
interest received is equal to the total interest which would have been received had the Stated Rate been (but for the operation of this
provision) the interest rate payable. Thereafter, the interest rate payable shall be the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate
again would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this provision shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received
by any Purchaser exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received had the interest been calculated for the full term hereof at
the Maximum Lawful Rate. If, notwithstanding the prior sentence, any Purchaser has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum
Lawful Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Notes or to other amounts (other than
interest) payable hereunder. If no such principal or other amounts are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be
paid to the Issuer. In computing interest payable with reference to the Maximum Lawful Rate applicable to any Purchaser, such interest
shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation
is made.
(e)
The Issuer agrees that the purchase price of each Note shall be reduced by an original issue discount equal to ten percent (10%)
of such purchase price (the “Original Issue Discount”), which Original Issue Discount shall be retained by the applicable
Purchasers via net funding, provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer agrees that, notwithstanding such deduction from
the purchase price of such Note, the Issuer remains liable to pay (i)(i) the full principal amount of such Note (inclusive of the Original
Issue Discount), without giving effect to such deduction, and (ii)(ii) accrued interest shall be payable on the full outstanding principal
amount of such Note, without giving effect to such deduction.
Section 2.5
Notes; MFN.
(a)
The portion of the Notes purchased by each Purchaser shall be evidenced by a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit
C hereto or such other form as shall be agreed between the Issuer and such Purchaser, executed by the Issuer in an original principal
amount equal to such Purchaser’s applicable share of the Notes.
(b)
In the event that, after any Purchaser (the “Specified Purchaser”) has committed to purchase Notes and Warrants
hereunder (the terms of any such purchased Notes and Warrants, the “Specified Terms”), the agreed economic or other
material terms of any Note or any Warrant (including pursuant to any side letter with such Purchaser that affects the agreed economic
or other material terms of such Notes or Warrants) issued simultaneously or thereafter pursuant to this Agreement are more favorable to
the applicable Purchaser of such Note or Warrant than the Specified Terms in any material respect, the Issuer and the Specified Purchaser
shall amend such Specified Purchaser’s Notes or Warrants to include such more favorable term(s) (such amendment(s) referred to as
a “MFN Amendment”).
Section 2.6
Provisions Regarding Payment.
(a)
General. All payments to be made by the Issuer under any Financing Document, including payments of principal and interest
made hereunder and pursuant to any other Financing Document, and all fees, expenses, Make-Whole Amount, indemnities and reimbursements,
shall be made without setoff or counterclaim. All payments by the Issuer hereunder shall be made directly to the Purchasers by wire transfer
of immediately available funds. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall
be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then
applicable rate during such extension (it being understood and agreed that, solely for purposes of calculating covenants and computations
contained herein and determining compliance therewith, if payment is made, in full, on any such extended due date, such payment shall
be deemed to have been paid on the original due date without giving effect to any extension thereto). Any payments received before 2:00
p.m. (Eastern time) on any date shall be deemed received by such Purchaser on such date, and any payments received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern
time) on any date shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day (unless otherwise agreed by such Purchaser).
(b)
[Reserved].
(c)
All Prepayments. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, all mandatory prepayments of Notes
shall be applied (subject to Section 2.3(i), to any intercreditor arrangements existing among the Notes and as otherwise permitted
under the Secured SPA): first, against the principal balance of the Notes, until the same shall have been paid in full; and second, to

Event of Default, all mandatory prepayments of Notes shall be applied (subject to Section 2.3(c) and as otherwise permitted under

Section 2.7 Certain
Tax Matters. The Issuer and the Purchasers agree that, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1273-2(h), the Notes and
the Warrants constitute an “investment unit” for purposes of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. Each Purchaser shall within 45 days following the Closing, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1273-2(h),
propose to the Issuer an allocation of the aggregate fair market value of the Warrants issued at Closing (the
”Valuation"). If the Issuer does not notify the Purchaser of any dispute or disagreement regarding the proposed
Valuation within twenty (20) days of receipt, then the Valuation shall become final. If the Issuer notifies the Purchaser of any
such dispute or disagreement within twenty (20) days of receipt, then the Issuer and the Purchaser shall endeavor in good faith to
resolve such dispute with twenty (20) days after the Issuer so notifies the Purchaser. If the Issuer and such Purchaser are unable
to resolve the dispute, then such dispute shall be submitted to an independent, nationally recognized valuation or financial
advisory firm (mutually agreed to by the Issuer and such Purchaser) for final resolution, with the costs of such valuation or
financial advisory firm to be paid one-half by the Issuer and one-half by the applicable Purchaser. Neither the
Issuer nor the Purchasers
will take any position for United States federal income Tax purposes that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 2.7 unless
otherwise required by the IRS or another Governmental Authority following an audit or examination.

other applicable Law dealing with such matters.

operation with, has been administered in material compliance with, and the terms of each ERISA Plan satisfies, the applicable requirements
of ERISA and the Code in all material respects. Each ERISA Plan which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is
so qualified, and the United States Internal Revenue Service has issued a favorable determination letter with respect to each such ERISA
Plan which may be relied on currently. None of the Issuer nor any Domestic Subsidiary has incurred liability for any material excise tax
under any of Sections 4971 through 5000 of the Code.

Pension Plans and Multiemployer Plans. During the thirty-six (36) month period prior to making of the Notes, (i) no
steps have been taken to terminate any Pension Plan and (ii) no failure to make contributions with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient
to give rise to a Lien under the Code has occurred. All amounts required by Code Sections 412 and 430 to be funded by the Issuer or any
member of a Controlled Group with respect to a Pension Plan have been made in compliance therewith. No condition exists or event or transaction
has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan which could result in the incurrence by the Issuer and Domestic Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, of any liabilities, fines and penalties exceeding $500,000 (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, current PBGC premiums or other
contributions required by ERISA or other applicable Law in the ordinary course). The Issuer and Domestic Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
have not incurred liabilities exceeding $500,000 to the PBGC (other than for current premiums) with respect to any Pension Plan. All contributions
(if any) have been made on a timely basis to any Multiemployer Plan that are required to be made by the Issuer, Domestic Subsidiary or

Plan, (B) has incurred any withdrawal liability with respect to any such plan, or (C) has received notice of any claim or demand for withdrawal
liability or partial withdrawal liability from any such plan (in each case with respect to which there is any unsatisfied withdrawal liability).
No member of the Controlled Group has received any written notice that a Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or termination, that
increased contributions may be required to avoid a reduction in plan benefits or the imposition of any excise tax, that any such plan
is or has been funded at a rate less than that required under Section 412 or Section 431 of the Code, that any such plan is
or may be terminated, or that any such plan is or is expected to become insolvent.
(c) With
respect to each program, plan or arrangement mandated by a government other than the United States providing for post-employment
benefits (each a “Foreign Government Benefit Plan”) and with respect to each employee benefit plan maintained or
contributed to by the Issuer or any Domestic Subsidiary that is not subject to Laws of the United States providing for
post-employment benefits (each, a “Foreign Plan”) to the Issuer’s knowledge: (i) all employee and
employee contributions required by Law or by the terms of any Foreign Government Benefit Plan or any Foreign Plan have been made,
or, if applicable, accrued, in accordance with normal accounting practices, (ii) the liability of the Issuer or any Domestic
Subsidiary with respect to a Foreign Plan is reflected in accordance with normal accounting practices or the financial statements of
the Issuer or such Domestic Subsidiary, as the case may be and (iii) each Foreign Plan required to be registered has been registered

(ii) and (iii), the failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse

of any such property is being used, or to the Issuer’s knowledge, has been used at any previous time, for the disposal, storage,
treatment, processing or other handling of Hazardous Materials in material violation of any Environmental Law nor to the Issuer’s
knowledge is any such property affected by any Hazardous Materials Contamination, which in each case, would reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. All written notifications of a release of Hazardous Materials required to be filed by or on behalf
of the Issuer or any Domestic Subsidiary under any applicable Environmental Law have been filed or are in the process of being timely

would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.13
Transfer Restrictions.
(a)
The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of
Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Issuer or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or
in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.13(b), the Issuer may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Issuer
an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Issuer, the form and substance of which opinion shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities
under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement
and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement.
(b)
The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.13, of a legend on any of the Securities in the
following form:
[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY
[NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [EXERCISE]
[CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN
WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER
LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The Issuer acknowledges and
agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant
a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined
in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured
Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Issuer and no legal opinion
of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required
of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Issuer will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee
or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.
(c)
Certificates evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.13(b) hereof):
(i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statements) covering the resale of such security is effective under the
Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants) without
time, volume or manner of sale limitations, (iii) if such Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise
of the Warrants) without time, volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements
of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Issuer shall
use reasonable best efforts to cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Purchaser promptly after the Effective
Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by a Purchaser, respectively, to
the extent set forth in the preceding sentence. If all or any portion of a Note is converted or Warrant is exercised at a time when there
is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule
144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants) as to such Underlying Shares and without time, volume or manner-of-sale restrictions
or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and
pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Issuer agrees
that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.13(c), it will, no later than
two (2) Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Issuer or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Underlying
Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to
be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Issuer
may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth
in this Section 4.13(c). Certificates for Underlying Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent
to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System (to the extent
the Issuer is a participant in the Depository Trust Company System) as directed by such Purchaser.
(d) In
addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Issuer shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such
Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.13(c), $5
per Trading Day for each Trading Day after the 3rd Trading Day following the Legend Removal Date until such certificate
is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Issuer fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Purchaser by the
3rd Trading Day following Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Securities so delivered to the Issuer by
such Purchaser that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the 3rd Trading Day following the
Legend Removal Date 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 all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of
shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Purchaser anticipated receiving
from the Issuer without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of 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 (including
brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such
number of Underlying Shares that the Issuer was required to deliver to such Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B)
the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed.
(e)
Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Issuer that such Purchaser will sell any Securities
pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or
an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the
plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities
as set forth in this Section 4.13(e) is predicated upon the Issuer’s reliance upon this understanding.
Section 4.14
Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Issuer acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Issuer further acknowledges that its obligations
under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction
Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the
effect of any such dilution or any claim the Issuer may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance
may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Issuer.
Section 4.15
Furnishing of Information; Public Information.
(a)
The Issuer covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b)
or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period)
all reports required to be filed by the Issuer after the Closing Date to the Exchange Act even if the Issuer is not then subject to the
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Notes. Without limiting the

of Conversion included in the Notes set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants

nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise or Notice of Conversion form
be required in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Notes other than receipt of the Shareholder Approval (and the filing of an
amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Issuer to reflect the Authorized Share Increase) with respect to the Authorized Share
Increase. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants
or convert their Notes other than any such information or documentation as the Issuer may reasonably request. The Issuer shall honor exercises
of the Warrants and conversions of the Notes and shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods

transactions in securities of the Issuer. The Issuer and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Issuer nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release
nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Issuer, with respect to any press release of any
Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Issuer, which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law or requested by a governmental authority or
self-regulatory organization, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such
public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not publicly disclose the name of any
Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market,
without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with (i) any

the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations or requested by a governmental authority or

After receipt of the Shareholder Approval (and the filing of an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Issuer to
reflect the Authorized Share Increase), the Issuer shall at all times maintain a reserve of the Required Minimum from its duly authorized
shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations
in full under the Transaction Documents.
(b) If, on any
date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum on
such date, then the Board of Directors shall use reasonable best efforts to hold two special meetings of shareholders (which may
also be at the annual meeting of shareholders) to amend the Issuer’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the
number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time, as soon as possible and in
any event the first applicable Issuer stockholders meeting shall not be later than the 120th day after such date (and if the
required Issuer stockholder approval is not obtained at such meeting, then the second applicable Issuer stockholders meeting shall
not be later than the 120th day after the first applicable Issuer stockholders meeting, and if the required Issuer stockholder
approval is not obtained at such second meeting, the Issuer shall use reasonable best efforts to seek such approval at each
subsequent annual meeting until such approval is obtained).

Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum

to be approved for listing or quotation on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence
of such listing or quotation as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof and (iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain

of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
Section 4.22 Shareholder

obtain the Authorized Share Increase Approval as promptly as practical under the circumstances after the Closing Date and prior to
the date that is sixty (60) days following the Closing Date and (b) a separate special meeting of shareholders (which may also be at
the annual meeting of shareholders) to obtain the Nasdaq 20% Approval as promptly as reasonably practical under the circumstances
after the Closing Date and prior to the date that is sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, in each case, with the
recommendation of the Issuer’s Board of Directors that such proposals be approved, and the Issuer shall solicit proxies from
its shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all
management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. The Issuer shall use its reasonable best
efforts to obtain such Shareholder Approval. If the Issuer does not obtain the Shareholder Approval at such special meetings, the
Issuer shall use reasonable best efforts to hold a new special meeting within thirty (30) days from the date of such previous
special meeting to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such Shareholder Approval. If the Issuer does not obtain the
Shareholder Approval at the most recent special meeting, the Issuer shall use reasonable best efforts to seek such Shareholder
Approval at each annual meeting thereafter (starting in 2024) until the earlier of the date the Shareholder Approval is obtained, or
the Notes are no longer outstanding. The Issuer shall file an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to reflect the
Authorized Share Increase within ten (10) Business Days after the Authorized Share Increase Approval is obtained. FF Global Partners
Investment LLC (formerly known as FF Top Holding LLC) hereby irrevocably agrees that it will take reasonable efforts to cause all
shares over which it controls voting power to vote in favor of the Shareholder Approval (including the Authorized Share Increase
Approval).
Section 4.23
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants
that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales,
including Short Sales, of any of the Issuer’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending
at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the filing of the Current Report
on Form 8-K as described in Section 4.18. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until
such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Issuer pursuant to the filing of the Current
Report on Form 8-K as described in Section 4.18, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction
and the information included in the Disclosure Schedules (other than as disclosed to its legal and other representatives). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, and subject to anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary including Section 4.1 and Section 4.24, the Issuer
expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage
in effecting transactions in any securities of the Issuer after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first
publicly announced pursuant to the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K as described in Section 4.18, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted
or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Issuer in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after
the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the filing of the Current Report
on Form 8-K as described in Section 4.18 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities
of the Issuer to the Issuer, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agent,
including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, after the issuance of the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K as described in
Section 4.18. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate
portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the
investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above
shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase
the Securities covered by this Agreement.
Section 4.24
Blue Sky Filings. Promptly following the Closing Date and prior to the issuance of any Securities hereunder, the Issuer
shall take such action as the Issuer shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities

evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.
Section 4.25

Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration, indebtedness or a combination of units thereof
other than an Exempt Issuance (as defined in the Note) or Excluded Stock (as defined in the Warrant) or an issuance of Common Stock
or Common Stock Equivalents under Section 4.25 of the Secured SPA following a “Subsequent Financing” as defined in the
Secured SPA (a “Subsequent Financing”), each Purchaser that then owns at least $20,000,000 principal amount of
Notes (when aggregated with any Affiliates of such Purchaser) shall each have the right to participate in up to an amount of the
Subsequent Financing equal to an amount of the Subsequent Financing such that such Purchaser’s ownership of the Issuer
(assuming conversion of the Notes and ignoring for such purpose any conversion or exercise limitations included in the Notes)
remains the same immediately following such Subsequent Financing as it ownership immediately prior to such Subsequent Financing on
the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing subject to this Section 4.25.
(b)
At least ten (10) days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Issuer shall deliver to each such Purchaser a written
notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser
if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”). Upon
the request of such Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Issuer shall promptly,
but no later than three (3) days after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Purchaser. The Subsequent Financing
Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised
thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include a term

Any such Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Issuer by not later
than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh (7th) day after all of the Purchasers have received the Subsequent Financing Notice
that such Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of such Purchaser’s participation, and representing
and warranting that such Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent
Financing Notice. If the Issuer receives no such notice from a Purchaser as of such seventh (7th) day, such Purchaser shall
be deemed to have notified the Issuer that it does not elect to participate.
(d)
If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh (7th ) day after all such Purchasers have received the Subsequent
Financing Notice, notifications by such Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their
designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount up to which such Purchasers may participate in the Subsequent
Financing, then the Issuer may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in
the Subsequent Financing Notice.
(e) The Issuer
must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchasers will again have the right of participation
set forth above in this Section 4.25, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not
consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within ninety (90) Trading Days after the date
of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.
(f)
The Issuer and each Purchaser agrees that if any Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents
related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision that is intended to exclude one or more of the Purchasers
from participating in a Subsequent Financing.

whatsoever (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and
expenses of one (1) firm of counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for all
Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant jurisdiction that is material to the interest of such Indemnitees (which may be a
single local counsel acting in multiple material jurisdictions), and solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of
interest between Indemnitees (where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict of interest informs the Issuer in writing of such
conflict of interest), one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated
taken as a whole), in connection with any investigative, remedial, administrative, judicial or other like matter or proceeding
(whether initiated or threatened), whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto and including any such
proceeding initiated by or on behalf of the Issuer or Subsidiary, and the reasonable expenses of investigation by engineers,
environmental consultants and similar technical personnel and any commission, fee or compensation claimed by any broker (other than
any broker retained by the Purchasers) asserting any right to payment for the transactions contemplated hereby, which may be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee as a result of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, the other Financing Documents, the Notes and other Obligations and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the
Closing Date Transactions and the Subsequent Closing Date Transactions (including (a)(i) as a direct or indirect result of the

owned, leased or operated by the Issuer or any Subsidiary thereof of any Hazardous Materials or any Hazardous Materials
Contamination, (ii) arising out of or relating to the offsite disposal of any materials generated or present on any such property or

by any act or omission of the Issuer or Subsidiary, and (b) proposed and actual extensions of credit under this Agreement) and the
use or intended use of the proceeds of the Notes, except that the Issuer shall have no obligation hereunder to an Indemnitee with
respect to any liability resulting from (A) the fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as
determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (B) a material breach of any obligations of such
Indemnitee under any Financing Document by such Indemnitee in bad faith, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction or (C) disputes solely among Indemnitees not arising from the conduct of the Issuer. To the extent that
the undertaking set forth in the immediately preceding sentence may be unenforceable, the Issuer shall contribute the maximum
portion which they are permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all such indemnified
liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. This Section 9.2 shall not apply to claims for expenses or indemnification
for Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. All Obligations provided
for in this Section 9.2 shall survive repayment of the Notes and cancellation of the Notes. All amounts due under this Section 9.2
shall be paid within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor.
Article 10
TAXES; YIELD PROTECTION
Section 10.1
Taxes.
(a) Gross
Up for Taxes. All payments of principal and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder or under any Financing
Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp, documentary,
property or franchise taxes, and other taxes, fees, duties, levies, assessments, withholdings or other charges (including interest,
additions to tax and penalties thereon) imposed by any taxing authority (“Taxes”), unless otherwise required by
applicable Law. If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Issuer to any Purchaser hereunder is required in
respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable Law, then the Issuer will (1) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount
required to be so withheld or deducted, (2) promptly forward to such Purchaser an official receipt or other documentation
satisfactory to such Purchaser evidencing such payment to such authority, and (3) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, pay to such
Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by such Purchaser will
equal the full amount it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.
(b)
Other Taxes. The Issuer agrees to timely pay to the applicable Governmental Authority any present or future stamp, intangible,
recording or documentary Taxes or any other similar Taxes that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery,
performance, recordation, or filing of, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement or any other Financing Document, except any such Taxes
that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (“Other Taxes”).
(c)
Indemnification. The Issuer shall jointly and severally indemnify the Purchasers, within ten (10) days after demand therefor,
for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under
this Section) payable or paid by the Purchasers or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Purchasers and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted
by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Issuer by a Purchaser
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Foreign
Purchasers. Each 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 United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN,
W-8BEN-E, or W-8IMY (as applicable) and other applicable forms, certificates or documents prescribed by the United States
Internal Revenue Service or reasonably requested as to such Purchaser’s entitlement to a complete exemption from withholding
or deduction of Taxes, if any, on or prior the date on which such Foreign 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). Any Foreign
Purchaser that is relying on the portfolio interest exception of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, shall also
provide each Issuer along with IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a certificate representing to each Issuer that
such Foreign Purchaser is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10% holder of any
Issuer described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, is not a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related
person (within the meaning of Sections 881(c)(3)(C) and 864(d)(4) of the Code) and is not a conduit entity participating in a
conduit financing arrangement as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.881-3, at such time (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuer). Each Purchaser shall provide new forms (or successor forms) or certificates
upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms, to the extent legally entitled to do so, and to promptly
notify each Issuer of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. If a
payment made to a Purchaser under any Financing Document or any payment would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by
FATCA if such Purchaser were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in
Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Purchaser shall deliver to the Issuer, at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer, such documentation prescribed by applicable law
(including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the
Issuer as may be necessary for the Issuer to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Purchaser has complied
with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for
purposes of the preceding sentence, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
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 Issuer 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 Issuer), 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 Issuer 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 Issuer of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid
any claimed exemption or reduction.
(f)
[Reserved].
(g) Treatment
of Certain Refunds. So long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, if any Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion
exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section
10.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 10.1), it shall pay to the indemnifying
party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the
request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus
any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no
event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment
of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in
if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the
indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (g) shall not be
construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it
deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
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), the Issuer 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), the Issuer 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.

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 and 12

of this Agreement.
Section 12.2
No Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by 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 the Issuer 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 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

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

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 12.5
Amendments and Waivers.
(a) General
Provisions. No provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document may be amended, waived or otherwise modified unless
such amendment, waiver or other modification is in writing and is signed or otherwise approved by the Issuer and Required
Purchasers; provided that no such amendment, waiver or other modification shall, unless signed or otherwise approved in
writing by all Purchasers directly affected thereby, (A) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on, or any fees (including any
make-whole or liquidated damage provisions) with respect to the Notes or forgive any principal, interest, or fees, other than as a
result of a waiver of an Event of Default and/or the default rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.4(b), (B) defer,
extend or postpone the date fixed for, or waive or forgive, any payment (other than a payment pursuant to Section 2.3)
of principal of the Notes, or of interest (other than the default rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.4(b)) on the Notes
or fees hereunder or defer, extend or postpone the date of termination of the commitment of any Purchaser hereunder, (C) change the
definition of the term Required Purchasers, (D) amend Article 2 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments
required thereby, (E) subordinate all or substantially all of the Obligations, (F) amend, waive or otherwise modify compliance with
Section 2.5(b), Section 4.16, Section 4.17, Sections 8.1(o), (p) or (q) or the definitions of the terms used in those Sections
insofar as the definitions materially affect the substance of those Sections or (G) amend, waive or otherwise modify this Section 12.5(a)
or the definitions of the terms used in this Section 12.5(a) insofar as the definitions affect the substance of this Section 12.5(a); provided
that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of
the Notes shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest and (y) a waiver of any
condition precedent set forth in Article 7 or the waiver of any Default or Event of Default (in each case other than pursuant
to Section 8.1(a)) shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for, or a reduction in the amount of, any payment of
interest or any payment of fees. It is hereby understood and agreed that all Purchasers shall be deemed directly affected by an
amendment, waiver or other modification of the type described in the preceding clauses (C), (D), (E), (F) or (G) of the preceding
sentence. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given. No delay on the part of any Purchaser in the exercise of any right,
power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or
remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything else to the contrary in any Financing Document, the Issuer and the holder of any Note hereunder may agree to
amend, waive or otherwise modify the terms of such Note, and/or the Issuer and the holder of such Note may waive any right or
condition under, or the protection of any provision under, this Agreement, solely with respect to, or relating to, the rights of
such Purchaser, in each case, without the consent of any other Purchaser or any other party hereto.
(b)
[Reserved].
(c)
Miscellaneous. Anything in this Section 12.5 to the contrary notwithstanding, any amendment, modification, elimination,
waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document that
relates only to the relationship of the Purchasers among themselves, and that does not affect the rights or obligations of the Issuer,
shall not require consent by or the agreement of the Issuer.
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 to purchase additional Notes 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 Issuer 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
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 Issuer any prior Note held by it.
(iii)
The Issuer 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 Issuer 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 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 Issuer. 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 Issuer, 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 the Issuer 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 Issuer 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 the 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 Issuer agrees 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 Issuer agrees 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 Issuer, 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 Issuer
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.
(c)
Issuer Assignments. The Issuer may not 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 each Purchaser.
Section 12.7
Headings. Headings and captions used in the Financing Documents (including the Exhibits, Schedules and Annexes hereto and
thereto) are included for convenience of reference only and shall not be given any substantive effect.

Section 12.9 Waiver
of Consequential and Other Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Issuer shall not assert, and 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. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of
any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission
systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Financing Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
THE ISSUER AND EACH PURCHASER
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE FINANCING
DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT
BEFORE A JURY. THE ISSUER AND EACH PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP,
THAT IT HAS RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS, AND THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO RELY
ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. THE ISSUER AND EACH PURCHASER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF

Section 12.16
USA PATRIOT Act Notification. Each Purchaser hereby notifies the Issuer that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT
Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record certain information and documentation that identifies the Issuer, which information includes

Article 13
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS
Each Purchaser hereby represents
and warrants as follows:
Section 13.1
Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each Purchaser of this Agreement and each other
Financing Document to which it is a party: (a) is within its power and authority and has been duly authorized by all necessary action;
(b) does not contravene the terms of its Organizational Documents or any amendment thereof; and (c) will not violate, conflict
with or result in any breach or contravention of any of its contractual obligations, or any order or decree directly relating to it.
Section 13.2
Binding Effect. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Purchaser and this Agreement constitutes its
legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating
to enforceability.
Section 13.3
No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by each Purchaser will not violate any requirement
of Law applicable to it.
Section 13.4 Securities
Laws.
(a)
The Securities are being or will be acquired by each Purchaser hereunder for the purpose of investment for its own account, not
as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof in any transaction which would
be in violation of the Securities Act or state securities laws or which would require the issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder
to be registered under the Securities Act, subject, however, to the disposition of each Purchaser’s property being at all times
within its control. Each Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Securities
in violation of the Securities Act. Each Purchaser does not have any agreement or understanding, whether or not legally binding, direct
or indirect, with any other Person to sell or otherwise distribute the securities to be issued to it hereunder.
(b)
Each Purchaser is an (1) “accredited investor” as (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended
(the “Securities Act”)), or (2) institutional “accredited investor” (as described in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3)
or (7) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) with such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as are
necessary in order to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities, and understands that the offer and sale of the
Securities meets the exemptions from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(C) or (J); and (i) such Purchaser (1) is an institutional account
as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c), (2) is a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in private equity transactions and capable
of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving
a security or securities and (3) has exercised independent judgment in evaluating its participation in the purchase of the Securities,
and accordingly, understands that the placement of the Securities meets (x) the exemptions from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(A)
and (y) the institutional customer exemption under FINRA Rule 2111(b).
(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 Issuer is 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. Furthermore, each Purchaser understands that the Issuer may not be eligible to conduct
an offering pursuant to Regulation D. Each Purchaser acknowledges that: (A) it has no right to require registration of the Notes or Warrants
under the Securities Act or any “blue sky” laws, and (B) there is not now and is not contemplated to be any public market
for the Notes or Warrants. As a result, each Purchaser
is prepared to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Notes and Warrants for an indefinite period of time.
(d)
Each Purchaser and its advisors (i) have been furnished with or have had access to all material books and records of the Issuer
and all of its material contracts, agreements and documents and (ii) have had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers,
and to obtain any additional information to verify the accuracy of any information previously furnished, from management and representatives
of the Issuer and which representatives have made available to them such information regarding the Issuer and their current respective
businesses, operations, assets, finances, financial results, financial condition and prospects in order to make a fully informed decision
to purchase and acquire the Securities. Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, each Purchaser has not relied on any statements
or other information provided by anyone other than the Issuer concerning the Issuer, the Securities or the offer and sale of the Securities.
Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has made its own assessment and is satisfied concerning the relevant tax and other economic considerations
relevant to the Purchaser’s acquisition of the Securities.
(e)
Each Purchaser has generally such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, and with respect to investments in
securities of privately held companies, as to enable it to understand and evaluate the risks of an investment in the Securities and form
an investment decision with respect thereto. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties set forth
in Article 3 of this Agreement or in any other Financing Document or the right of the Purchasers to rely thereon.
(f)
Each Purchaser understands that the exemption from registration of resales of the Securities afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions
of which are known to the Purchaser) promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act depends on the satisfaction of various conditions, including
the requirement that the Issuer has been subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15 of the Securities Act for at
least ninety (90) days and that, if applicable, Rule 144 affords the basis for such sales only in limited amounts and that the Issuer
do not now qualify under Rule 144 and may not ever. Each Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement shall require the Issuer
or any of its Subsidiaries to make any filing under the Securities Act or Exchange Act which the Issuer or its Subsidiaries are not otherwise
obligated to make.
Section 13.5
Governmental Authorization; Third Party Consent. No approval, consent, compliance, exemption or authorization of any Governmental
Authority or any other Person in respect of any requirement of Law, and no lapse of a waiting period under a requirement of Law, is necessary
or required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by it or enforcement against the Purchasers of this Agreement or
the transactions contemplated hereby. No consent is required to be obtained under any contractual obligation applicable to the Purchasers
in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents to which it is a party.

Section 2. Interest.
| (a) | The Issuer shall pay interest to the
Holder on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of this Note (including
any Make-Whole Amount payable upon conversion of this Note) at the rate of 10 % per annum,
payable on each Conversion Date and on the Maturity Date (each such date, an “Interest
Payment Date”) (if any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the applicable
payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day), in cash or, at the Issuer’s
option, in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock (the “Interest Conversion Shares”) at the Interest Conversion Rate
(the dollar amount to be paid in shares, the “Interest Share Amount”)
or a combination thereof; provided, however, that payment in shares of Common
Stock may only occur if (i) all of the Equity Conditions have been met (unless waived by
the Holder in writing) on the applicable Interest Payment Date (the “Interest Notice
Period”) and through and including the date such shares of Common Stock are actually
issued to the Holder, (ii) the Issuer shall have given the Holder notice in accordance with
the notice requirements set forth below (other than the Make-Whole Amount which shall require
notice from the Issuer within three (3) Trading Days of a Notice of Conversion), and (iii)
as to any Interest Share Amount, the effective rate of interest shall be calculated at 15%
per annum. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, during any periods that the Note is
outstanding and an Event of Default is occurring, the interest rate shall be 15% per annum
if paid in cash only and 18% if paid in cash and stock otherwise as set forth above. |
| (b) | Subject
to the terms and conditions herein, the decision whether to pay interest hereunder in cash,
shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof shall be at the sole discretion of the Issuer.
Prior to the commencement of any Interest Notice Period, the Issuer shall deliver to the
Holder a written notice of its election to pay interest hereunder on the applicable Interest
Payment Date either in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof (other than
with respect to any Make-Whole Payment which election shall be made within three (3) Trading
Days of the applicable Conversion Date). During any Interest Notice Period (or after the
election is made in connection with a Make-Whole Payment), the Issuer’s election (whether
specific to an Interest Payment Date or continuous) shall be irrevocable as to such Interest
Payment Date. Subject to the aforementioned conditions, failure to timely deliver such written
notice to the Holder shall be deemed an election by the Issuer to pay the interest on such
Interest Payment Date in cash. |
| (c) | Interest
shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30 calendar day
periods, and shall accrue daily commencing on the date of the [Fourth][Eighth] Closing until
payment in full of the outstanding principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other
amounts which may become due hereunder, has been made. Payment of interest in shares of Common Stock (other than the Interest Conversion
Shares issued prior to an Interest Notice Period) shall otherwise occur pursuant to Section 3 herein and, solely for purposes of the
payment of interest in shares, the Interest Payment Date shall be deemed the Conversion Date. Interest shall cease to accrue with respect
to any principal amount converted, provided that, the Issuer actually delivers the Conversion Shares within the time period required
by Section 3(c) herein. Interest hereunder will be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Issuer
regarding registration and transfers of this Note (the “Note Register”).
Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Issuer pays interest partially in cash and partially in shares of Common Stock
to the holders of the Notes, then such payment of cash shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the then-outstanding Notes based
on their (or their predecessor’s) initial purchases of Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. |
| (d) | All overdue accrued and unpaid interest
to be paid hereunder shall entail a late fee at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18%
per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (the “Late Fees”)
which shall accrue daily from the date such interest is due hereunder through and including
the date of actual payment in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
if, on any Interest Payment Date the Issuer has elected to pay accrued interest in the form
of Common Stock but the Issuer is not permitted to pay accrued interest in Common Stock because
it fails to satisfy the conditions for payment in Common Stock set forth in Section 2(a)
herein, then, at the option of the Holder, the Issuer, in lieu of delivering either shares
of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2 or paying the interest payment in cash, shall
deliver, within three (3) Trading Days of each applicable Interest Payment Date, an amount
in cash equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable
to the Holder in connection with the payment of interest due on such Interest Payment Date
multiplied by (y) the highest VWAP during the period commencing on the Interest Payment Date
and ending on the Trading Day prior to the date such payment is actually made. |
Section 3. Conversion.
| (a) | Voluntary Conversion. At any
time until this Note is no longer outstanding, subject to Section 3(e), this Note shall be
convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder,
at any time and from time to time (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 3(d)
and Section 3(e) hereof) (each a “Conversion”). The Holder shall effect
conversions by delivering to the Issuer a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached
hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying
therein the principal amount of this Note to be converted, the Make-Whole Amount (as defined
below) and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion
Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion
Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original
Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type
of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. To effect conversions
hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Issuer
unless the entire principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon,
has been so converted in which case the Holder shall surrender this Note as promptly as is
reasonably practicable after such conversion without delaying the Issuer’s obligation
to deliver the shares on the Share Delivery Date. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect
of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable
conversion. The Holder and the Issuer shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s)
converted and the date of such conversion(s). The Issuer may deliver an objection to any
Notice of Conversion within one (1) Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion.
The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by
reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note,
the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note may be less than the amount stated
on the face hereof. |
| (b) | Conversion Price. The conversion
price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be $0.8925 subject to adjustment as set forth
herein (the “Conversion Price”). |
| (c) | Mechanics of Conversion. |
| i. | Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount.
The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding
principal amount of this Note to be converted by the Conversion Price. Additionally, on each Conversion Date, the Issuer shall pay to
the Holder, in cash, the sum of (A) all accrued interest on this Note to date plus (B) all interest that would otherwise accrue on such
principal amount of this Note if such converted principal would be held to six (6) years from the date hereof (the amount in clause (B),
(the “Make-Whole Amount”) minus (C) 50% of the original issue discount in respect of such converted portion of this
Note; provided, however, at the election of the Issuer, such interest and Make-Whole Amount may be paid in a combination
of cash and Common Stock, otherwise pursuant to the terms of Section 2. |
| ii. | Delivery of
Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than two (2) Trading Days after each Conversion
Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Issuer shall deliver, or cause to
be delivered, to the Holder (A) the Conversion Shares which, on or after the earlier of (i)
the six month anniversary of the [Fourth][Eighth] Closing to the extent permitted under the
Securities Act or (ii) the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading
restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Purchase Agreement) representing
the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Note and (B) a
bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid interest (if the Issuer has elected or is
required to pay accrued interest in cash). On or after the earlier of (i) the six-month anniversary
of the [Fourth][Eighth] Closing to the extent permitted under the Securities Act or (ii)
the Effective Date, the Issuer shall deliver any Conversion Shares required to be delivered
by the Issuer under this Section 3 electronically through the Depository Trust Company or
another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. |
| iii. | Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares. If, in the case
of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the 3rd
Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Issuer at any time on or
before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Issuer shall promptly return to the Holder
any original Note delivered to the Issuer and the Holder shall promptly return to the Issuer the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder
pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice. |
| iv. | Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The
Issuer’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof
are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with
respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Issuer
other than the terms hereof, and irrespective of any other circumstance (other than a violation of law) which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Issuer to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that
such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Issuer of any such action the Issuer may have against the Holder. In the event the
Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof in accordance with the terms hereof,
the Issuer may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged
in any violation of any other agreement or for any other reason (other than a violation of law), unless an injunction from a court, on
notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained. In the absence
of such injunction, the Issuer shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Issuer
fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii) by the 3rd Trading Day following
the Share Delivery Date, the Issuer shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of
principal amount being converted, $5 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after such 3rd Trading Day following the Share Delivery
Date until such Conversion Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. |
| v. | Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion
Shares Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer fails for any reason to deliver to
the Holder such Conversion Shares by the 3rd Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii), and
if after such 3rd Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm 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 Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating
to such 3rd Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Issuer shall (A) pay in
cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s
total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale
price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue
(if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion
shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Issuer had
timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). 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 conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale
price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under
clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the
Issuer written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of
the Buy-In and, upon request of the Issuer, evidence of the amount of such loss. |
| vi. | Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Issuer
covenants that it will at all times after receipt of the Shareholder Approval (and the filing of an amendment to the Issuer’s certificate
of incorporation to reflect the Shareholder Approval to the extent needed) keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of
Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note and payment of interest on this Note, each as herein provided,
free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of
the Notes), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth
in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Sections 3(d) and (e)) upon the conversion
of the then outstanding principal amount of this Note and payment of interest hereunder. The Issuer covenants that all shares of Common
Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Registration
Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public resale in accordance with such Registration Statement. |
| vii. | Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be
entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Issuer shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction
in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share. |
| viii. | Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion
Shares on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may
be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Issuer shall not be required to pay any tax
that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in
a name other than that of the Holder of this Note so converted and the Issuer shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion
Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Issuer the amount of such tax or
shall have established to the satisfaction of the Issuer that such tax has been paid. The Issuer shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required
for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation
performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares. |
| (d) | Holder’s Conversion Limitations. The Issuer
shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent
that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, 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 conversion of this Note 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) conversion of the remaining, unconverted
principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion
of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Issuer subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous
to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Notes or the Warrants) 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 3(d), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 3(d) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation
to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which principal amount of this Note
is convertible shall be in the reasonable discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be
the Holder’s determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together
with any Affiliates or Attribution Parties) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, and the Issuer 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 3(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Issuer’s most
recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Issuer,
or (C) a more recent written notice by the Issuer or the Issuer’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Issuer shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm orally and 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 of the Issuer, including this Note, by the Holder or its
Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial
Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding
immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note. The Holder, upon notice
to the Issuer, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 3(d), 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 conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions
of this Section 3(d) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st
day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation 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) to correct this paragraph (or any
portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make
changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The preceding limitations contained in this
paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note. Holder shall not vote or control the vote of shares of Common Stock of the
Issuer in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance
of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note (the “Vote Threshold”); provided, that Issuer acknowledges
and agrees that Holder may own in excess of the Vote Threshold; provided, that Holder has irrevocably transferred to a non-affiliated
U.S. entity voting rights of all shares of Common Stock of Issuer in excess of such Vote Threshold. |
| (e) | Issuance Limitations.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent needed, if the Issuer has
not obtained Shareholder Approval, then the Issuer may not issue, upon conversion of this
Note, shares of Common Stock; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Issuer may issue up to [ ]3
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note prior to obtaining Shareholder
Approval, as long as there are sufficient authorized but unissued and uncommitted shares. |
| (f) | Transfer Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Note, for thirty (30) days after [the Eighth Closing][the Fourth Closing], the shares of Common Stock underlying
the principal amount of this Note funded at each such Closing may not be directly or indirectly transferred, sold or otherwise disposed
of without the prior written consent of the Issuer (which written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). For the avoidance of doubt,
nothing in this Section 3(f) shall restrict the ability of the Holder to pledge shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this
Note. |
Section 4. Certain Adjustments.
| (a) | Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Issuer, at
any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares
of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares
of Common Stock issued by the Issuer upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, the Notes), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of
capital stock of the Issuer, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Issuer) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section
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,
at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Issuer or any Subsidiary, as applicable,
sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise
disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition),
any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common
Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such
issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance” and such effective price,
the “Base Price”)) (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 lower than the Conversion
Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then
simultaneously with the consummation (or, if earlier, the announcement) of each Dilutive Issuance the Conversion Price shall be reduced
to equal the Base Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 4(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance
or an adjustment under Section 4(a). The Issuer shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance
of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 4(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 Issuer provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to
this Section 4(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based
upon the adjusted Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers
to the adjusted Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion. |
| 3 | To be the Note’s proportionate share of underlying shares
that can be issued in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 |
| (c) | Voluntary Adjustment. Subject
to the rules and regulations of the principal Trading Market of the Common Stock, the Issuer
may at any time during the term of this Note, with the prior written consent of the Holder,
reduce the then current Conversion Price of this Note to any amount and for any period of
time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Issuer. |
| (e) | Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this
Note is outstanding, (i) the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation
of the Issuer with or into another Person, (ii) the Issuer (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), 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, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Issuer
or another Person) 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 more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Issuer,
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, or (v) the Issuer, 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 Person whereby such other Person 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 conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have
been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation
in Section 3(d) or Section 3(e) on the conversion of this Note), 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 Note is convertible
immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 3(d) or Section 3(e) on the conversion
of this Note). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately
adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share
of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Issuer shall apportion the Conversion 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 conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. |
| (f) | Calculations. All calculations
under this Section 4 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 4, 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 any treasury shares of the Issuer) issued and outstanding. |
| i. | Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion
Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 4, the Issuer shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth
the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. |
| ii. | Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Issuer shall declare a dividend
(or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Issuer shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend
on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Issuer shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of 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 Issuer shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or
merger to which the Issuer(and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Issuer, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash
or property or (E) the Issuer shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of
the Issuer, then, in each case, the Issuer shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion
of this Note, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Note Register, at least
fifteen (15) 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 convert this Note during the 15-day period commencing on the date of such
notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein. |
Presentment, demand, protest
and notice of presentment, demand, nonpayment and protest are each hereby waived by each Issuer.
Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, at no time shall Holder (a) be given rights that would allow it to control Issuer; (b) have access to any material nonpublic
technical information in the possession of Issuer; (c) have the right to appoint any member or observer to the board of directors of
Issuer; or (d) be involved, other than through voting of shares, in the Issuer’s substantive decisionmaking regarding (i) the use,
development, acquisition, safekeeping, or release of sensitive personal data of U.S. citizens that the Issuer 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 Issuer 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.
The Holder hereby represents
and warrants that: (a) it and its direct or indirect equityholders and their respective affiliates are not affiliates or direct or indirect
equityholders of, have no direct or indirect economic interest in, and have not directly or indirectly entered into any agreement, arrangement
or understanding (except as expressly set forth in the preceding sentence) with, any director, officer, employee, manager, partner or

any of their respective affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph or otherwise in this Note shall prohibit
the Holder from the right to enter into any voting agreement or grant a voting proxy at any time and on any terms, with or to FF Global
Partners Investment LLC with respect to any shares of Common Stock held by the Holder.

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 $0.8925, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Cashless Exercise.
This Warrant may also 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 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).
d) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery
of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer
Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its 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) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, 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 (2) Trading Days 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 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 3rd 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
3rd 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 3rd 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 3rd 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. 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 9.99% 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 61st 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.
f)
Issuance Restrictions. If the Company has not obtained Shareholder Approval to the extent needed, then the Company may
not issue upon exercise of this Warrant any shares of Common Stock.
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 out of 30 consecutive Trading Days (the “Measurement Period,” which 30 consecutive Trading Day period
shall not have commenced until after the Effective Date) exceeds $15.00 (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 (10th)
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.
a) 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.
b) 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.
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 unless otherwise consented
to in writing by the Company, 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, during the period the Warrant is outstanding and after receipt of Shareholder Approval (and the filing of an amendment to the certificate
of incorporation of the Company reflecting the Shareholder Approval to the extent needed), it will reserve from its authorized and unissued
Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights
under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who
are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
will use commercially reasonable efforts to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants
that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof
(other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the
extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, 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 action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate
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 number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or 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.
i)
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, Mike Beck, email address

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

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

and subject to Section 2(f) in each case unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Company, by delivery to the Company (or such
other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder
appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise
in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within two (2) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid,
the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer
or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified
in the applicable Notice of Exercise (except as set forth in the preceding sentence). No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required,
nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder
has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered
to the Company. 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.
i) Exercise
Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.8925, subject to adjustment hereunder (the
“Exercise Price”).
j) Cashless
Exercise. This Warrant may also 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 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).
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) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, 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 (2) Trading Days 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 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 3rd
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 3rd 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 3rd 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 3rd 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.
l) Holder’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to
exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, 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 9.99% 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 61st 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.
m)
Issuance Restrictions. If the Company has not obtained Shareholder Approval to the extent needed, then the Company may
not issue upon exercise of this Warrant any shares of Common Stock.
n) 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 out of 30 consecutive Trading Days (the “Measurement Period,” which 30
consecutive Trading Day period shall not have commenced until after the Effective Date) exceeds $15.00 (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.
(d) 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.
(e) 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 (10th) 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.
(f) 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.
c)
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.
d)
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.
Section 4. Transfer
of Warrant.
f) Transferability.
Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof unless otherwise
consented to in writing by the Company, 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.
g)
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.
h)
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.
i)
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.
j) 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.
p)
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.
q)
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.
r) 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.
s)
Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants
that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding and after receipt of Shareholder Approval (and the filing of an amendment to the certificate
of incorporation of the Company reflecting the Shareholder Approval to the extent needed), it will reserve from its authorized and unissued
Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights
under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who
are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
will use commercially reasonable efforts to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants
that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof
(other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the
extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, 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 action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate
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 number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or 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.
t)
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.
u) 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.
v)
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.
w) 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.
x)
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, Mike Beck, email address
david.beck@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

Section 2. Interest.
(a) The
Issuer shall pay interest to the Holder on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of this Note (including any
Make-Whole Amount payable upon conversion of this Note) at the rate of 10 % per annum, payable on each Conversion Date and on the Maturity
Date (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”) (if any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the applicable
payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day), in cash or, at the Issuer’s option, in duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Interest Conversion Shares”) at the Interest Conversion
Rate (the dollar amount to be paid in shares, the “Interest Share Amount”) or a combination thereof; provided,
however, that payment in shares of Common Stock may only occur if (i) all of the Equity Conditions have been met (unless waived
by the Holder in writing) on the applicable Interest Payment Date (the “Interest Notice Period”) and through and including
the date such shares of Common Stock are actually issued to the Holder, (ii) the Issuer shall have given the Holder notice in accordance
with the notice requirements set forth below (other than the Make-Whole Amount which shall require notice from the Issuer within three
(3) Trading Days of a Notice of Conversion), and (iii) as to any Interest Share Amount, the effective rate of interest shall be calculated
at 15% per annum. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, during any periods that the Note is outstanding and an Event of Default is
occurring, the interest rate shall be 15% per annum if paid in cash only and 18% if paid in cash and stock otherwise as set forth above.
(b) Subject
to the terms and conditions herein, the decision whether to pay interest hereunder in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof
shall be at the sole discretion of the Issuer. Prior to the commencement of any Interest Notice Period, the Issuer shall deliver to the
Holder a written notice of its election to pay interest hereunder on the applicable Interest Payment Date either in cash, shares of Common
Stock or a combination thereof (other than with respect to any Make-Whole Payment which election shall be made within three (3) Trading
Days of the applicable Conversion Date). During any Interest Notice Period (or after the election is made in connection with a Make-Whole
Payment), the Issuer’s election (whether specific to an Interest Payment Date or continuous) shall be irrevocable as to such Interest
Payment Date. Subject to the aforementioned conditions, failure to timely deliver such written notice to the Holder shall be deemed an
election by the Issuer to pay the interest on such Interest Payment Date in cash.
(c) Interest
shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30 calendar day periods, and shall accrue daily commencing on
the date of the [Fourth][Eighth] Closing until payment in full of the outstanding principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest,
liquidated damages and other amounts which may become due hereunder, has been made. Payment of interest in shares of Common Stock (other
than the Interest Conversion Shares issued prior to an Interest Notice Period) shall otherwise occur pursuant to Section 3 herein and,
solely for purposes of the payment of interest in shares, the Interest Payment Date shall be deemed the Conversion Date. Interest shall
cease to accrue with respect to any principal amount converted, provided that, the Issuer actually delivers the Conversion Shares within
the time period required by Section 3(c) herein. Interest hereunder will be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered
on the records of the Issuer regarding registration and transfers of this Note (the “Note Register”). Except as otherwise
provided herein, if at any time the Issuer pays interest partially in cash and partially in shares of Common Stock to the holders of
the Notes, then such payment of cash shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the then-outstanding Notes based on their (or
their predecessor’s) initial purchases of Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
(d) All
overdue accrued and unpaid interest to be paid hereunder shall entail a late fee at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum
or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (the “Late Fees”) which shall accrue daily from the date such interest
is due hereunder through and including the date of actual payment in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
if, on any Interest Payment Date the Issuer has elected to pay accrued interest in the form of Common Stock but the Issuer is not permitted
to pay accrued interest in Common Stock because it fails to satisfy the conditions for payment in Common Stock set forth in Section 2(a)
herein, then, at the option of the Holder, the Issuer, in lieu of delivering either shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2
or paying the interest payment in cash, shall deliver, within three (3) Trading Days of each applicable Interest Payment Date, an amount
in cash equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the Holder in connection with the payment
of interest due on such Interest Payment Date multiplied by (y) the highest VWAP during the period commencing on the Interest Payment
Date and ending on the Trading Day prior to the date such payment is actually made.
Section 3. Conversion.
(a) Voluntary
Conversion. At any time until this Note is no longer outstanding, subject to Section 3(e), this Note shall be convertible, in whole
or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time (subject to the conversion limitations
set forth in Section 3(d) and Section 3(e) hereof) (each a “Conversion”). The Holder shall effect conversions
by delivering to the Issuer a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice
of Conversion”), specifying therein the principal amount of this Note to be converted, the Make-Whole Amount (as defined below)
and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date
is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder.
No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization)
of any Notice of Conversion form be required. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender
this Note to the Issuer unless the entire principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been so converted
in which case the Holder shall surrender this Note as promptly as is reasonably practicable after such conversion without delaying the
Issuer’s obligation to deliver the shares on the Share Delivery Date. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the
outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Issuer shall maintain records
showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). The Issuer may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion
within one (1) Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge
and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted
principal amount of this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
(b) Conversion
Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be $0.8925 subject to adjustment as set forth herein (the “Conversion
Price”).
(c) Mechanics
of Conversion.
| i. | Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion
of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder
shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal amount
of this Note to be converted by the Conversion Price. Additionally, on each Conversion Date,
the Issuer shall pay to the Holder, in cash, the sum of (A) all accrued interest on this
Note to date plus (B) all interest that would otherwise accrue on such principal amount of
this Note if such converted principal would be held to six (6) years from the date hereof
(the amount in clause (B), (the “Make-Whole Amount”) minus (C) 50% of
the original issue discount in respect of such converted portion of this Note; provided,
however, at the election of the Issuer, such interest and Make-Whole Amount may be
paid in a combination of cash and Common Stock, otherwise pursuant to the terms of Section
2. |
| ii. | Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion.
Not later than two (2) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery
Date”), the Issuer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder (A) the
Conversion Shares which, on or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the
[Fourth][Eighth] Closing to the extent permitted under the Securities Act or (ii) the Effective
Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those which
may then be required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of Conversion Shares
being acquired upon the conversion of this Note and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued
and unpaid interest (if the Issuer has elected or is required to pay accrued interest in
cash). On or after the earlier of (i) the six-month anniversary of the [Fourth][Eighth] Closing
to the extent permitted under the Securities Act or (ii) the Effective Date, the Issuer shall
deliver any Conversion Shares required to be delivered by the Issuer under this Section 3
electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation
performing similar functions. |
| iii. | Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares.
If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to
or as directed by the applicable Holder by the 3rd Trading Day following the Share
Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Issuer at any
time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which
event the Issuer shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note delivered to the Issuer
and the Holder shall promptly return to the Issuer the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder
pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice. |
| iv. | Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated
Damages. The Issuer’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon
conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent
with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or
any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination,
or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the
Issuer other than the terms hereof, and irrespective of any other circumstance (other than
a violation of law) which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Issuer to the Holder
in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however,
that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Issuer of any such action the Issuer
may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Note shall elect to convert
any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof in accordance with the terms hereof,
the Issuer may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated
or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of any other agreement or
for any other reason (other than a violation of law), unless an injunction from a court,
on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note
shall have been sought and obtained. In the absence of such injunction, the Issuer shall
issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the
Issuer fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares pursuant to Section
3(c)(ii) by the 3rd Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date, the Issuer
shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000
of principal amount being converted, $5 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after such 3rd
Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date until such Conversion Shares are delivered
or Holder rescinds such conversion. |
| v. | Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to
Timely Deliver Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available
to the Holder, if the Issuer fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such Conversion
Shares by the 3rd Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section
3(c)(ii), and if after such 3rd Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date
the Holder is required by its brokerage firm 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 Conversion Shares which the Holder
was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such 3rd Trading Day following
the Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Issuer shall (A) pay in
cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder)
the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage
commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion
at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such
purchase obligation was executed and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if
surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted
conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder
the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Issuer had timely
complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). 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 conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the
Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation
was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer
shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of
the Issuer, evidence of the amount of such loss. |
| vi. | Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion.
The Issuer covenants that it will at all times after receipt of the Shareholder Approval
(and the filing of an amendment to the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation to reflect
the Shareholder Approval to the extent needed) keep available out of its authorized and unissued
shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note and
payment of interest on this Note, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or
any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other
holders of the Notes), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock
as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable
(taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Sections 3(d) and (e)) upon the
conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Note and payment of interest
hereunder. The Issuer covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable
shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and,
if the Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered
for public resale in accordance with such Registration Statement. |
| vii. | Fractional Shares. No fractional
shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this
Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase
upon such conversion, the Issuer shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect
of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price
or round up to the next whole share. |
| viii. | Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The
issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to
the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect
of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Issuer shall not be
required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance
and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the
Holder of this Note so converted and the Issuer shall not be required to issue or deliver
such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof
shall have paid to the Issuer the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction
of the Issuer that such tax has been paid. The Issuer shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required
for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust
Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required
for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares. |
(d) Holder’s
Conversion Limitations. The Issuer shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert
any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion,
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 conversion
of this Note 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) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of
its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities
of the Issuer subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation,
any other Notes or the Warrants) 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 3(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section
3(d) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with
any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the reasonable discretion
of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note
may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates or Attribution Parties) and which
principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Issuer 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 3(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Issuer’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission,
as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Issuer, or (C) a more recent written notice by the Issuer or the Issuer’s
transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Issuer
shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm orally and 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 of the Issuer, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares
of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
this Note. The Holder, upon notice to the Issuer, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section
3(d), 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 conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 3(d) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will
not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation 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) to correct
this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained
herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The preceding limitations
contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note. Holder shall not vote or control the vote of shares of Common
Stock of the Issuer in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding immediately after giving effect
to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note (the “Vote Threshold”); provided, that Issuer
acknowledges and agrees that Holder may own in excess of the Vote Threshold; provided, that Holder has irrevocably transferred to a non-affiliated
U.S. entity voting rights of all shares of Common Stock of Issuer in excess of such Vote Threshold.
| (e) | Issuance Limitations. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, to the extent needed, if the Issuer has not obtained Shareholder
Approval, then the Issuer may not issue, upon conversion of this Note, shares of Common Stock;
provided that, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer
may issue up to [ ● ]1
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note prior to obtaining Shareholder
Approval, as long as there are sufficient authorized but unissued and uncommitted shares. |
(f) Transfer
Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, for thirty (30) days after [the Eighth Closing][the Fourth Closing],
the shares of Common Stock underlying the principal amount of this Note funded at each such Closing may not be directly or indirectly
transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of without the prior written consent of the Issuer (which written consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 3(f) shall restrict the ability
of the Holder to pledge shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note.
Section 4. Certain
Adjustments.
(a) Stock
Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Issuer, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes
a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which, for
avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Issuer upon conversion of, or payment of interest on,
the Notes), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a
reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification
of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Issuer, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction
of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Issuer) outstanding immediately
before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 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, at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Issuer or any Subsidiary, as applicable, sells or grants any option
to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to
purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at
an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”
and such effective price, the “Base Price”)) (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 lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have
occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then simultaneously with the consummation (or, if
earlier, the announcement) of each Dilutive Issuance the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Price. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 4(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance or an adjustment under Section 4(a). The
Issuer shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
subject to this Section 4(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 Issuer provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 4(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the
Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the adjusted Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive
Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.
1 | To be the Note’s proportionate share of underlying
shares that can be issued in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 |
(c) Voluntary
Adjustment. Subject to the rules and regulations of the principal Trading Market of the Common Stock, the Issuer may at any time
during the term of this Note, with the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Conversion Price of this Note to
any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Issuer.
(d) [RESERVED]
(e) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions
effects any merger or consolidation of the Issuer with or into another Person, (ii) the Issuer (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as
a whole), 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, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange
offer (whether by the Issuer or another Person) 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 more than 50% of the outstanding
Common Stock, (iv) the Issuer, 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, or (v) the Issuer, 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 Person whereby such other Person 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 conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion
Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without
regard to any limitation in Section 3(d) or Section 3(e) on the conversion of this Note), 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 Note is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 3(d)
or Section 3(e) on the conversion of this Note). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall
be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect
of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Issuer shall apportion the Conversion 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 conversion of this Note following such Fundamental
Transaction.
(f) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 4 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 4, 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 any treasury shares of the Issuer) issued and outstanding.
(g) Notice
to the Holder.
| i. | Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever
the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 4, the Issuer
shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such
adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. |
| ii. | Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder.
If (A) the Issuer shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on
the Common Stock, (B) the Issuer shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or
a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Issuer shall authorize the granting to all holders
of the Common Stock of 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 Issuer shall
be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation
or merger to which the Issuer(and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) is a party,
any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer, or any compulsory
share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property
or (E) the Issuer shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the affairs of the Issuer, then, in each case, the Issuer shall cause to be
filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Note, and
shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the
Note Register, at least fifteen (15) 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 convert this Note during the 15-day period commencing on the date of such notice
through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be
expressly set forth herein. |
Presentment, demand, protest
and notice of presentment, demand, nonpayment and protest are each hereby waived by each Issuer.
Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, at no time shall Holder (a) be given rights that would allow it to control Issuer; (b) have access to any material nonpublic
technical information in the possession of Issuer; (c) have the right to appoint any member or observer to the board of directors of
Issuer; or (d) be involved, other than through voting of shares, in the Issuer’s substantive decisionmaking regarding (i) the use,
development, acquisition, safekeeping, or release of sensitive personal data of U.S. citizens that the Issuer 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 Issuer 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.
The Holder hereby represents
and warrants that: (a) it and its direct or indirect equityholders and their respective affiliates are not affiliates or direct or indirect
equityholders of, have no direct or indirect economic interest in, and have not directly or indirectly entered into any agreement, arrangement
or understanding (except as expressly set forth in the preceding sentence) with, any director, officer, employee, manager, partner or

ownership or voting power of the Issuer, and no Related Person will, directly or indirectly, participate in any of the post-closing operations
or decisions of or have any other rights or obligations with respect to the Holder or any of its direct or indirect equityholders or
any of their respective affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph or otherwise in this Note shall prohibit
the Holder from the right to enter into any voting agreement or grant a voting proxy at any time and on any terms, with or to FF Global
Partners Investment LLC with respect to any shares of Common Stock held by the Holder.
The Holder hereby agrees
that promptly following the satisfaction of the Closing Conditions set forth in clause (a) of the definition thereof with respect to
the First Closing, the Holder will provide bank statements showing source(s) of funding with respect to the Holder’s funding obligations

Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise
of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on
or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date, after receipt of Company stockholder approval to increase the
Company’s authorized and uncommitted shares of Class A Common Stock to the extent needed (which approval, for the avoidance of
doubt, may be implemented by the Issuer through a reverse stock split that increases the number of authorized shares of the Issuer’s
Class A Common Stock) and for purposes of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 to the extent needed (the “Shareholder Approval”) (and
the filing of an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Company to reflect the Shareholder Approval to the extent needed)
and subject to Section 2(f) in each case unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Company, by delivery to the Company (or such
other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder
appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise
in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within two (2) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid,
the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer
or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified
in the applicable Notice of Exercise (except as set forth in the preceding sentence). No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required,
nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder
has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered
to the Company. 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 $0.8925, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Cashless
Exercise. This Warrant may also 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 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).
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) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, 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 (2) Trading Days 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 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 3rd 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
3rd 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 3rd 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 3rd 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. 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 9.99% 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 61st 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.
f) Issuance
Restrictions. If the Company has not obtained Shareholder Approval to the extent needed, then the Company may not issue upon exercise
of this Warrant any shares of Common Stock.
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 out of 30 consecutive Trading Days (the “Measurement Period,” which 30 consecutive Trading
Day period shall not have commenced until after the Effective Date) exceeds $15.00 (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 (10th)
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.
a) 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.
b) 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.
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 unless otherwise consented
to in writing by the Company, 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, during the period the Warrant is outstanding and after receipt of Shareholder Approval (and the filing of an amendment to the certificate
of incorporation of the Company reflecting the Shareholder Approval to the extent needed), it will reserve from its authorized and unissued
Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights
under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who
are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
will use commercially reasonable efforts to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants
that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof
(other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the
extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, 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 action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate
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 number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or 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.
i) 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, Mike Beck, email address david.beck@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.
j) 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.
k) 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.
l) 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.
m) Amendment.
This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
n) 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.
o) 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.

Equity Commitment Letter
Dear Purchaser,
We refer to (a) the Securities Purchase Agreement
dated May 8, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”) entered into among the Company, the Purchaser and the other financial
institutions or other entities from time to time parties hereto, and (b) the Unsecured Convertible Senior Promissory Note issued by the
Company to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement (the “Note”). Capitalized terms used but not
defined in this letter have the meanings given to them in the Note.
| 1.1 | I, the investor listed in the Schedule to this letter (the “Investor”), hereby commit
to the Purchaser, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this letter, to provide to the Purchaser: |
| 1.1.1 | Subject to the Closing Conditions (as defined in the Note) or the Purchaser’s waiver thereof,
at each Closing, capital contributions, paid in cash, in the maximum amount set out opposite my name for such Closing in the Schedule
to this letter (collectively, the “Equity Commitments”), solely to satisfy the funding obligations of the Purchaser
under the Purchase Agreement and the Note, subject to the satisfaction or waiver in accordance with the Note of the Closing Conditions
as specified in the Note. |
| 1.1.2 | if an award of damages in respect of the Purchase Agreement is payable by the Purchaser pursuant
to a breach of the Purchase Agreement by the Purchaser (including any interest due thereon, or expenses in connection with the collection
and enforcement) (“Purchase Agreement Damages”), to provide to the Purchaser capital contributions, paid in cash, in
an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Purchase Agreement Damages and (y) the Equity Commitments (the “Purchase Agreement Damages
Commitments”). |
| 1.2 | The Equity Commitments and/or Purchase Agreement Damages Commitments may be provided to the Purchaser
by way of direct and/or indirect cash contributions including, without limitation, in exchange for ordinary shares, preference shares,
subordinated or non-subordinated shareholder loans, preferred equity certificates or other securities. The aggregate amount of the Equity
Commitments and/or Purchase Agreement Damages Commitments to be funded to the Purchaser under this letter may be reduced by the Investor
or the Purchaser to the extent that the Purchaser does not require the full amount of the Equity Commitments and/or Purchase Agreement
Damages Commitments in order to satisfy its obligations under the Purchase Agreement or the Note. |
| 1.3 | The Investor hereby agrees that, for so long as this letter remains in effect, the Investor shall not
cause, or otherwise explicitly permit, the Purchaser to (a) initiate or effect any voluntary insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, wind-up
or other similar proceeding affecting the Purchaser or (b) enter into any contracts or incur any liabilities, in each case, other than
the Purchase Agreement, the Note or any other agreements contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or the Note, to the extent doing so would
impair the Purchaser’s ability to enforce its rights against the Investor under this letter. The Investor will instruct the Purchaser
to use the proceeds provided hereunder solely for the purposes of fulfilling its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Note. |
| 2 | Investor Representations and Warranties |
The Investor represents and warrants
to the Purchaser as follows:
| (a) | it is validly formed, in existence and duly registered under the laws of the jurisdiction of its registration
and it has the power to carry on its business as it is currently being conducted and to execute, deliver and perform this letter; |
| (b) | it has obtained all applicable authorisations and all other applicable governmental, statutory, regulatory
or other consents and licences required to empower it to enter into and perform its obligations under this letter; |
| (c) | the execution and delivery, entry into and performance by it of its obligations under this letter will
not breach any provision of its constitutional documents or other material agreements or any applicable law or orders; |
| (d) | it has sufficient funds or assets (including, for the avoidance of doubt, drawable commitments) to enable
it to fund each of the Equity Commitments or Purchase Agreement Damages Commitments (as applicable) in full in accordance with the terms
of this letter and the Purchase Agreement; and |
| (e) | its obligations under this letter are legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations. |
Each of the parties to this letter
acknowledges and agrees that, other than in the event of intentional common law fraud:
| (a) | other than as provided in this letter, no recourse hereunder or under any documents or instrument delivered
in connection herewith may be had against the Investor; |
| (b) | no recourse hereunder or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith may be had
against any general or limited partner, manager, member or participant of the Investor or any of its former, current or future directors,
officers, employees, agents, general or limited partners, managers, members, shareholders or affiliates (other than the Purchaser under
the Purchase Agreement or the Note, in each case subject to the terms and conditions thereof) (any such person, a “Related Person”),
whether by the enforcement of any judgment or assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation
or other applicable law; and |
| (c) | no personal liability whatsoever will attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by Related Persons
under this letter for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or by their creation. |
| 4.1 | The Purchaser’s rights and the Investor’s obligations under this letter are expressly given
for the benefit of the Company solely to the extent that the Company may cause the Investor to fund the Equity Commitments or the Purchase
Agreement Damages Commitments, as the case may be, to the Purchaser after the conditions in Section 1.1 above have been satisfied.
For the avoidance of doubt, if all or any portion of the Equity Commitments, the Purchase Agreement Damages Commitments, or any other
payment under or in connection with this letter, as the case may be, is required to be funded pursuant to the terms of this letter, such
amount will be funded to the Purchaser and under no circumstances will the Company and/or any of its affiliates or any other person be
entitled to seek or cause the Investor to fund, or cause the funding of, the Equity Commitments, the Purchase Agreement Damages Commitments,
or any other payment under or in connection with this letter (or any portion thereof), as the case may be, directly to the Company and/or
any of its affiliates or any other person. |
| 4.2 | Apart from what is stated in Section 4.1, a person who is not a party to this letter has no rights
or otherwise to enforce any provisions of this letter. |
| 5.1 | If any term of this letter is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, all other terms and provisions
of this letter shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. |
| 5.2 | Unless the parties hereto and the Company, as an express third party beneficiary in this respect, specifically
agree in writing, no person shall assign, transfer, charge or otherwise deal with all or any of its rights under this letter nor grant,
declare, create or dispose of any right or interest in it. Any purported assignment in contravention of this Section 5.2 shall
be void. |
| 5.3 | The provisions in Section 12.11 (Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction) and Section 12.12 (Waiver
of Jury Trial) of the Purchase Agreement shall be incorporated in this letter mutatis mutandis. |
| 5.4 | The liability of the Investor arising out of or in connection with this letter shall not under any circumstances
exceed the Equity Commitments. |
| 5.5 | This letter may not be amended without the prior written consent of each of the Purchaser, the Investor
and (with respect to any amendment adverse to the Company) the Company (as an express third party beneficiary in this respect). |
| 5.6 | This letter may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original hereof and all of which together evidence
the same letter. |
| 5.7 | This letter and the undertakings and covenants of the Investor towards the Purchaser under this letter,
will expire and be of no further force or effect upon the occurrence of the Eighth Closing occurring in accordance with the Note (including
the payment in full by the Purchaser of all amounts owing in connection with all Closings). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding
the previous sentences of this Section 5.7, upon payment of the Equity Commitments or the Purchase Agreement Damages Commitments contemplated
by Section 1.1, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 1.1 above by the Investor to the Purchaser, the Investor has no further
payment obligations under the Equity Commitments or the Purchase Agreement Damages Commitments, as the case may be. |
| 5.8 | The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of
the provisions of this letter, and that in addition to any other available remedies (which may include money damages) each party shall
be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive relief as a remedy for any threatened or actual breach of the provisions of this
letter. Each party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. The parties
further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable
for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy. |
| 5.9 | Each party acknowledges and agrees that (a) this letter is not intended to, and does not, create any agency,
partnership, fiduciary or joint venture relationship between or among any of the parties hereto and neither this letter nor any other
document or agreement entered into by any party hereto relating to the subject matter hereof shall be construed to suggest otherwise and
(b) the obligations of the Investor under this letter are solely contractual in nature. |
| 5.10 | Whenever possible, each provision of this letter shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this letter is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or the remaining provisions of this letter. |

Equity Commitment Letter
Dear Purchaser,
We refer to (a) the Securities Purchase Agreement
dated May 8, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”) entered into among the Company, the Purchaser and the other financial
institutions or other entities from time to time parties hereto, and (b) the Unsecured Convertible Senior Promissory Note issued by the
Company to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement (the “Note”). Capitalized terms used but not
defined in this letter have the meanings given to them in the Note.
| 1.1 | I, the investor listed in the Schedule to this letter (the “Investor”), hereby commit
to the Purchaser, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this letter, to provide to the Purchaser: |
| 1.1.1 | Subject to the Closing Conditions (as defined in the Note) or the Purchaser’s waiver thereof,
at each Closing, capital contributions, paid in cash, in the maximum amount set out opposite my name for such Closing in the Schedule
to this letter (collectively, the “Equity Commitments”), solely to satisfy the funding obligations of the Purchaser
under the Purchase Agreement and the Note, subject to the satisfaction or waiver in accordance with the Note of the Closing Conditions
as specified in the Note. |
| 1.1.2 | if an award of damages in respect of the Purchase Agreement is payable by the Purchaser pursuant
to a breach of the Purchase Agreement by the Purchaser (including any interest due thereon, or expenses in connection with the collection
and enforcement) (“Purchase Agreement Damages”), to provide to the Purchaser capital contributions, paid in cash, in
an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Purchase Agreement Damages and (y) the Equity Commitments (the “Purchase Agreement Damages
Commitments”). |
| 1.2 | The Equity Commitments and/or Purchase Agreement Damages Commitments may be provided to the Purchaser
by way of direct and/or indirect cash contributions including, without limitation, in exchange for ordinary shares, preference shares,
subordinated or non-subordinated shareholder loans, preferred equity certificates or other securities. The aggregate amount of the Equity
Commitments and/or Purchase Agreement Damages Commitments to be funded to the Purchaser under this letter may be reduced by the Investor
or the Purchaser to the extent that the Purchaser does not require the full amount of the Equity Commitments and/or Purchase Agreement
Damages Commitments in order to satisfy its obligations under the Purchase Agreement or the Note. |
| 1.3 | The Investor hereby agrees that, for so long as this letter remains in effect, the Investor shall not
cause, or otherwise explicitly permit, the Purchaser to (a) initiate or effect any voluntary insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, wind-up
or other similar proceeding affecting the Purchaser or (b) enter into any contracts or incur any liabilities, in each case, other than
the Purchase Agreement, the Note or any other agreements contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or the Note, to the extent doing so would
impair the Purchaser’s ability to enforce its rights against the Investor under this letter. The Investor will instruct the Purchaser
to use the proceeds provided hereunder solely for the purposes of fulfilling its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Note. |
| 2 | Investor Representations and Warranties |

in connection herewith may be had against the Investor; |
| (b) | no recourse hereunder or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith may be had
against any affiliates of the Investor (other than the Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement or the Note, in each case subject to the
terms and conditions thereof) (any such person, a “Related Person”), whether by the enforcement of any judgment or
assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law; and |
| (c) | no personal liability whatsoever will attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by Related Persons
under this letter for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or by their creation. |
| 4.1 | The Purchaser’s rights and the Investor’s obligations under this letter are expressly given
for the benefit of the Company solely to the extent that the Company may cause the Investor to fund the Equity Commitments or the Purchase
Agreement Damages Commitments, as the case may be, to the Purchaser after the conditions in Section 1.1 above have been satisfied.
For the avoidance of doubt, if all or any portion of the Equity Commitments, the Purchase Agreement Damages Commitments, or any other
payment under or in connection with this letter, as the case may be, is required to be funded pursuant to the terms of this letter, such
amount will be funded to the Purchaser and under no circumstances will the Company and/or any of its affiliates or any other person be
entitled to seek or cause the Investor to fund, or cause the funding of, the Equity Commitments, the Purchase Agreement Damages Commitments,
or any other payment under or in connection with this letter (or any portion thereof), as the case may be, directly to the Company and/or
any of its affiliates or any other person. |
| 4.2 | Apart from what is stated in Section 4.1, a person who is not a party to this letter has no rights
or otherwise to enforce any provisions of this letter. |
| 5.1 | If any term of this letter is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, all other terms and provisions
of this letter shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. |
| 5.2 | Unless the parties hereto and the Company, as an express third party beneficiary in this respect, specifically
agree in writing, no person shall assign, transfer, charge or otherwise deal with all or any of its rights under this letter nor grant,
declare, create or dispose of any right or interest in it. Any purported assignment in contravention of this Section 5.2 shall
be void. |
| 5.3 | The provisions in Section 12.11 (Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction) and Section 12.12 (Waiver
of Jury Trial) of the Purchase Agreement shall be incorporated in this letter mutatis mutandis. |
| 5.4 | The liability of the Investor arising out of or in connection with this letter shall not under any circumstances

and (with respect to any amendment adverse to the Company) the Company (as an express third party beneficiary in this respect). |
| 5.6 | This letter may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original hereof and all of which together evidence
the same letter. |
| 5.7 | This letter and the undertakings and covenants of the Investor towards the Purchaser under this letter,
will expire and be of no further force or effect upon the occurrence of the Fourth Closing occurring in accordance with the Note (including
the payment in full by the Purchaser of all amounts owing in connection with all Closings). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding
the previous sentences of this Section 5.7, upon payment of the Equity Commitments or the Purchase Agreement Damages Commitments contemplated
by Section 1.1, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 1.1 above by the Investor to the Purchaser, the Investor has no further
payment obligations under the Equity Commitments or the Purchase Agreement Damages Commitments, as the case may be. |
| 5.8 | The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of
the provisions of this letter, and that in addition to any other available remedies (which may include money damages) each party shall
be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive relief as a remedy for any threatened or actual breach of the provisions of this
letter. Each party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. The parties
further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable
for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy. |
| 5.9 | Each party acknowledges and agrees that (a) this letter is not intended to, and does not, create any agency,
partnership, fiduciary or joint venture relationship between or among any of the parties hereto and neither this letter nor any other
document or agreement entered into by any party hereto relating to the subject matter hereof shall be construed to suggest otherwise and
(b) the obligations of the Investor under this letter are solely contractual in nature. |
| 5.10 | Whenever possible, each provision of this letter shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this letter is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or the remaining provisions of this letter. |

Faraday
Future Announces $100 Million in Unsecured Convertible Notes Financing Commitments
| ● | This added financing would support the Company to achieve its delivery milestone,
continue production ramp up and support the development of its sales & service system for its flagship FF 91 vehicle. |
| ● | The closings contemplated by the financing remain subject to certain conditions
and limitations on enforceability. |
Los Angeles, CA (May 9, 2023) - Faraday
Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIE) ("Faraday Future", “FF” or "Company"), a California-based
global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced the signing of definitive agreements for financing commitments
of $100 million in unsecured convertible notes. The notes are expected to generate cash for the Company that will be utilized for continued
production ramp up and development of its sales & service system for its flagship FF 91 vehicle. The transactions contemplated by
this financing are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions and limitations on enforceability as detailed below.
Major funding investors in these unsecured
convertible notes financing are Metaverse Horizon Limited, an independent investment fund with investors including FF Global Partners
(“FFGP”), and V W Investment Holding Limited, an affiliate of a long-term shareholder of the Company.
“I am extremely pleased to share with
you the news of this financing round. This is a strong testament to the potential that investors see in FF’s ability to be an industry
leader, and confidence in the changes we have made to our governance structure, new management team and systems and the strength of the
global partners mechanism,” said Xuefeng Chen, Global CEO of Faraday Future.
FFGP is a partnership of 20 current and former
senior executives of the Company and has committed $80 million to this round of financing as an anchor investor. The investment shows
a continued commitment to the Company, as well as a show of confidence by a team of 20 current and former senior executive partners, in
Faraday Future’s ability to achieve its mid- and long-term goals.
In this challenging market environment, where
the Company believes it is significantly undervalued by the market, and through multiple rounds of negotiation in the past two months
with several investors, FFGP and another long-term investor committed to provide the needed funding commitments to support the Company
to continue its growth and delivery plans.
“I especially
thank the global partner team and FFGP who have supported the Company repeatedly in times of need. This round of financing
commitments is expected to provide the Company with capital to support our FF 91 delivery milestone, sales and service system
development, as well as support our near-term production ramp up goals. We are taking a long-term stockholder value creation
approach to running the business and hope this funding will give more confidence to our investors who have stood by us over
time,” said Chen. “We are painfully aware of the challenges our stockholders have experienced and are working steadfast
towards restoring company value. Our global team is focused on executing on our delivery plan.”
“We are delighted to participate in
this round of financing for FFIE as an anchor investor. We understand the importance of this funding for FFIE's production capacity ramp-up
and the subsequent delivery plan. FFGP remains committed to doing everything possible to provide support to FFIE and assist in achieving
its strategic goals, including accelerating a portion of the funding. We are also very grateful for the participation of another existing
stockholder in this round of investment,” said Jerry Wang, President of FFGP. “We hope this funding will help the Company
transition to more strategic investors and return to conventional financing to further maximize Company and stockholder value."
KEY TERMS
Per the funding agreements, the initial closing
will consist of $15 million within five business days following the satisfaction of the applicable closing conditions, or waiver of such
conditions by the parties. Such closing conditions include, among others, an effective registration statement with respect to the underlying
shares, sufficient authorized, unissued and uncommitted Class A shares of common stock, and the Company meeting certain delivery milestones.
Seven subsequent closings will occur within fifteen business days of the applicable prior closing date.
FF has received third party beneficiary rights
in equity commitment letters with FFGP and the sole stockholder of V W Investment Holding Limited to be able to compel the closing or
seek damages subject to the limitations set forth therein. In the event of a breach by such investors of their obligations under their
equity commitment letters with the Company, the Company may not be able to recover the damages caused by, or receive the funding due to,
such breach. For details on the terms, conditions, and funding schedule of the unsecured notes and warrants and related securities purchase
agreement and equity commitment letters, please refer to the Company’s filing today on Form 8-K with the SEC.
The Company also
entered into an eighth amendment to the securities purchase agreement and an amendment to certain secured notes and warrants that, among other things, waived certain preemptive rights and
full ratchet anti-dilution price protection with respect to the Company’s unsecured notes and warrants and employee stock
purchase program and aligned the conversion price and interest make-whole in the secured notes with the unsecured notes.
