Item
1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
December 11, 2023, Evofem Biosciences, Inc. (“Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger
Agreement”) with Aditxt, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Adicure, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned
Subsidiary of parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, and on the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Merger Sub
will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).
As
consideration for the Merger, the Parent will (i) issue 610,000 shares of Parent common stock (“Parent Common Stock”) (ii)
exchange the Company’s preferred stock Parent preferred stock (“Parent Preferred
Stock” and together with Parent Common Stock, the “Merger Shares”) (iii) execute an assignment agreement by and between
Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P. and the Parent for the certain secured and unsecured promissory notes aggregately
valued at $18,000,000. In addition, Parent has agreed to issue up to an aggregate of 89,126 shares
of preferred stock to the holders of the Company’s currently outstanding unsecured notes, purchase rights, certain warrants, and
preferred stock. The closing issuance of Merger Shares may be adjusted pursuant to procedures set forth in the Merger
Agreement, in connection with the finalization of exchange ratio of the Company and Parent shares.
Each
stock option of the Company that was outstanding and unexercised
immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) will be cancelled as of the Effective Time without the right to receive any consideration.
The
Merger Agreement is subject to certain closing conditions and contains customary representations, warranties and covenants.
The
consummation of the Merger is conditioned upon, among other things: (i) the Company and Parent Shareholder approval shall have been obtained
in accordance with applicable Law; (ii) no governmental entity having jurisdiction over any party shall have issue any order, decree,
ruling injunction or other action that is in effect restraining the Merger; (iii) the registration statement on Form S-4 shall
be declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); (iv) a voting agreement shall have been
executed and delivered by the parties thereto; (v) all Company preferred stock shall have been converted to Company common stock except
for the Unconverted Company Preferred Stock (as defined by the Agreement); (vi) the Company shall have received agreements from all
of the holders of the Company’s warrants, duly executed, containing waivers with respect to any fundamental transaction, change
in control or other similar rights that such warrant holders may have under any such Company warrants and exchange such Company warrants
as they hold for an aggregate of not more than 551 shares of Parent Preferred Stock; (vii) the Company shall have cashed out any other
warrant holder who has not provided a warrant holder agreement, provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such cash out for any
and all other warrant holders who have not provided a warrant holder agreement shall not exceed $150,000; (viii) the Company shall have
obtained waivers from holders of Company convertible notes of the original principal amount thereof with respect to any fundamental transaction
rights such Company convertible note holders may have under any such Company convertible notes, including any right to vote, consent
or otherwise approve or veto any of the transaction contemplated by this Merger Agreement; (ix) Parent shall have received a compliance
certificate from the Company certifying Company complied with all its representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement;
(x) Parent shall have received a certificate certifying that no interest in the Company is a U.S. real property interest, as required
under U.S. treasury regulation section 1.897-2(h) and 1.1445-3(c); (xi) Company shall have received from Parent a compliance certificate
certifying that Parent has complied with all its representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement, that Parent Common
Stock included in the Merger Shares have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq, and Parent shall have regained compliance with
the stockholders equity requirement in Nasdaq listing rule 5550(b)(1).
The
Company will prepare and file a proxy statement with the SEC and, subject
to certain exceptions, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) will recommend that the Merger Agreement be adopted
by the Company’s stockholders at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders (the “Company Board Recommendation”).
However, subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions, the Company and the Board, as applicable, are permitted to take
certain actions which may, as more fully described in the Merger Agreement, include changing the Company Board Recommendation and entering
into a definitive agreement with respect to a Company Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) if the Board or
any committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors and
after taking into account relevant legal, financial, regulatory, estimated timing of consummation and other aspects of such proposal
that the Board considers in good faith and the Person or group making such proposal, would, if consummated in accordance with
its terms, result in a transaction more favorable to the Company Shareholders than the Merger. The Company would be required to pay
the Parent a termination fee of $4,000,000 in connection with the Company accepting a Company Superior Proposal.
The
foregoing description of the Merger Agreement in this Item 1.01 and the transactions contemplated thereunder is not complete and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is hereby filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K
(this “Current Report”) and incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement and the foregoing description thereof
have been included to provide investors and stockholders with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. They are not intended
to provide any other factual information about the Company. Investors and stockholders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger
Agreement. Accordingly, investors and stockholders should not rely on such representations, warranties and covenants as characterizations
of the actual state of facts or circumstances described therein. Information concerning the subject matter of such representations, warranties
and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the
parties’ public disclosures.
The
Board has (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, are advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and declared it advisable for the Company to enter into the Merger
Agreement, (ii) approved and declared advisable the execution and delivery by the Company of the Merger Agreement, the performance by
the Company of its covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein, (iii) directed that the adoption
of the Merger Agreement be submitted to a vote at a meeting of the Company stockholders and (iv) resolved, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in the Merger Agreement, to recommend that the Company stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement.
The
foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement,
a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The
Merger Agreement has been attached to provide investors and stockholders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to
provide any other factual information about the Company, Parent or Merger Sub. In particular, unless specified otherwise in the Merger
Agreement, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement have been made solely
for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided
by the Company and Parent in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties
in the Merger Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the Company and Parent rather than establishing matters
as facts. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement should not be relied upon as characterizations of the
actual state of facts about the Company or Parent.
No
Offer or Solicitation; Important Information About the Merger and Where to Find It
This
Current Report on Form 8-K is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities
or in respect of the Merger and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of Company
or Parent, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale
would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities
shall be made, except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom.
The
Company expects to file a proxy statement with the SEC relating to the Merger Agreement. The definitive proxy statement will be sent
to all Company stockholders. Before making any voting decision, investors and security holders of the Company are urged to read the proxy
statement and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the meeting proposals as
they become available because they will contain important information about the Merger Agreement and related transactions and the meeting
proposals to be voted upon. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement and all other
relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by the Company through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.
Item
1.02 Termination of Material Definitive Agreement.
As
previously announced, on August 22, 2023, the Company had entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with a
publicly-traded entity on a national stock exchange (“Public Entity”). The LOI had expired on November 30, 2023, upon
which the Company verbally delivered notice to the Public Entity that it would not continue negotiations on the LOI
nor agree to enter into a definitive agreement with such Public Entity.
Item
5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On
December 11, 2023 the Company filed a Certificate of Designations creating a new series of preferred stock designated
as “Series F-1 Preferred Stock.” The Certificate of Designations, which forms a part of the Company’s Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, specifies the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series F-1 Preferred
Stock.
The
Certificate of Designations authorizes a total of 95,000 shares of Series F-1 Preferred Stock. The Series F-1 Preferred Stock has a stated
value of $1,000 per share, which is convertible into shares of common stock at a rate determined by dividing (i) the stated value
of such Series F-1 Preferred Stock shares plus any declared and unpaid dividends on such shares by (ii) the conversion price of $0.0635
per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate of Designations. The Certificate of Designations also provides that
in the event of certain “Triggering Events,” any holder may, at any time, convert any or all of such holder’s Series
F-1 Preferred Stock at an alternate conversion rate equal to the product of (i) the Alternate Conversion Price (as defined below)
and (ii) the quotient of (x) the 25% redemption premium multiplied by (y) the amount of Series F-1 Preferred Stock subject to
such conversion. “Triggering Events” include, among others, (i) a suspension of trading or the failure to be traded or listed
on an eligible market for five consecutive days or more, (ii) the failure to remove restrictive legends when required, (iii) the Company’s
default in payment of indebtedness in an aggregate amount of $100,000 or more, (iv) proceedings for a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or liquidation, which are not dismissed with 30 days, (v) commencement of a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding, and (viii) final judgments
against the Company for the payment of money in excess of $100,000. “Alternate Conversion Price” means the lowest of (i)
the applicable conversion price the in effect, (ii) 80% of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock
on the trading day immediately preceding the delivery of the applicable conversion notice, (iii) 80% of the VWAP of the common
stock on the trading day of the delivery of the applicable conversion notice and (iv) 80% of the price computed as the quotient of
(I) the sum of the VWAP of the common stock for each of the three (3) trading days with the lowest VWAP of the common stock
during the fifteen (15) consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the delivery of
the applicable conversion notice, divided by (II) three (3). Further, the Certificate of Designations provide that if on any of the thirtieth
(30th), sixtieth (60th), ninetieth (90th), one hundred and twentieth (120th), and one hundred and eightieth (180th), as applicable, calendar
day after the initial issuance date of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock, the conversion price then in effect is greater than the market
price then in effect (the “Adjustment Price”), on such date then the conversion price shall automatically lower to the Adjustment
Price. Each holder of Series F-1 Preferred Stock is entitled to receive dividends paid exclusively in the form of common stock
(the “Dividends”) payable to the holders of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock on a monthly basis.
The
holders of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock will not have the right to vote on any matter presented to the holders of the Company’s
common stock but, the Company may not take the following actions without the prior consent of the holders of at least a majority of the
Series F-1 Preferred Stock: (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series F-1 Preferred or alter
or amend the Certificates of Designation, (ii) amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation in any manner that adversely affects
any rights of the holders of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock, (iii) increase the number of authorized shares of Series F-1 Preferred,
or (iv) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
There
is no established trading market for the Series F-1 Preferred Stock, and the Company does not intend to list the Series F-1 Preferred
Stock on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. Without a trading market, the liquidity of the Series F-1
Preferred Stock may be extremely limited.
The
foregoing summary description of the Certificate of Designations is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of the Certificate of Designations, which is incorporated herein by reference and filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report
on Form 8-K.

share purchase right under the ESPP (the “ESPP Rights”) to be exercised as of the Final Exercise Date; and (D) terminate

prior to the Effective Time will be canceled at the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive the Common Merger Consideration

contributions of each participant under the ESPP as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, to the extent not used to purchase
shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the ESPP (as amended pursuant to this Section 3.2(c)), be refunded to such
participant as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time (without interest). No further ESPP Rights shall be granted or exercised
under the ESPP after the Final Exercise Date. The Company shall provide timely notice to participants of the setting of the Final Exercise

the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”) and to receive the Merger Consideration and cash sufficient to pay cash in lieu
of fractional shares pursuant to Section 3.2(h) and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 3.2(g), to
which such holders shall become entitled pursuant to this Article III. On or prior to the Closing Date and prior to the Effective
Time, Parent or Merger Sub shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares
of Company Common Stock and Unconverted Company Preferred Stock for issuance in accordance with this Article III through the Exchange
Agent, the cash (solely as it relates to payments in lieu of fractional shares) and number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable
to the holders of Company Common Stock and the number of shares of Exchanged Parent Preferred Stock as provided in Section 3.1
issuable to holders of the Unconverted Company Preferred Stock, in each case outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant
to Section 3.1. Parent agrees to deposit with the Exchange Agent, from time to time as needed, cash sufficient to pay any dividends
and other distributions pursuant to Section 3.2(g) and to make any cash payments in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section
3.2(h) and, in the event there are insufficient funds to make the payments contemplated by this Article III, additional cash
in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in an amount required to make such payments in full. Parent shall instruct the Exchange
Agent to, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be issued in exchange for shares of
Company Common Stock and Unconverted Company Preferred Stock, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement out of the Exchange Fund. Except
as contemplated by this Section 3.2(a), Section 3.2(g) and Section 3.2(h), the Exchange Fund shall not be used for
any other purpose. Any cash and shares of Parent Common Stock or Exchanged Parent Preferred Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent (including
as payment for fractional shares in accordance with Section 3.2(h) and any dividends or other distributions in accordance with
Section 3.2(g)) shall be referred to herein as the “Exchange Fund.” The Surviving Company shall pay all charges
and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of shares of Company Common Stock and Unconverted
Company Preferred Stock, respectively, for the Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares. Any interest or other income
resulting from investment of the cash portion of the Exchange Fund shall become part of the Exchange Fund.
(b)
Exchange Procedures.
(i)
Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event more than two Business
Days after the Closing Date, mail or otherwise deliver to each record holder, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, of (A) a
certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock or Unconverted Company
Preferred Stock (the “Certificates”) or (B) shares of Company Common Stock or Unconverted Company Preferred Stock
represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”), in each case, which shares were converted pursuant to Section
3.1 into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time, (1) a letter of transmittal (“Letter of Transmittal”),
which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery
of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the Letter
of Transmittal, and which shall be in a customary form and agreed to by Parent and the Company prior to the Closing (it being understood
that the forms of Letter of Transmittal to be mailed to the holders of Company Common Stock and Unconverted Company Preferred Stock may
vary in certain respects due to differences in the respective securities) and (2) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of
the Certificates or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, the surrender of such shares, for payment of the Merger Consideration set forth
in Section 3.1.
(ii)
Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, together with the Letter of Transmittal (or, in the case
of Book-Entry Shares, by book-receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent or such other evidence, if any,
required to be obtained by the Exchange Agent in connection with the surrender of Book-Entry Shares), duly completed and validly executed
in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other customary documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent,
the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (A) the Merger Consideration pursuant
to the provisions of this Article III (which shares of Parent Common Stock and Exchanged Parent Preferred Stock shall be in uncertificated
book-entry form) and (B) a check or wire transfer in the amount equal to the cash payable in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent
Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.2(h) and any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 3.2(g). No interest
shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares on the Merger Consideration payable in respect
of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the record holder
of such shares of Company Common Stock or Unconverted Company Preferred Stock, it shall be a condition of payment that shares so surrendered
shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid
any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder
of such shares surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Company that such Taxes either have been paid
or are not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.2(b)(ii), each Certificate and each Book-Entry Share
shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration
payable in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock or Unconverted Company Preferred Stock, and cash in lieu of any fractional
shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(h) and any dividends or other distributions
to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(g).
(c)
Termination of Rights. All Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section
3.2(h) and any dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock or Exchanged Parent Preferred Stock pursuant
to Section 3.2(g), in each case paid upon the surrender of and in exchange for shares of Company Common Stock or Unconverted Company
Preferred Stock, respectively, in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights
pertaining to such Company Common Stock and Unconverted Company Preferred Stock, respectively. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer
books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company
of the shares of Company Common Stock or Unconverted Company Preferred Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Company for
any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock
or Unconverted Company Preferred Stock, respectively, previously represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares (other than Certificates
or Book-Entry Shares evidencing Cancelled Shares), any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which the holders
thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(h) and any dividends or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled
pursuant to Section 3.2(g), without any interest thereon.
(d)
Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the former Company Shareholders on
the 365th day after the Closing Date shall be delivered to the Surviving Company upon demand, and any former Company Shareholders
who have not theretofore received the Merger Consideration to which they are entitled under this Article III, any cash in lieu
of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(h) and any dividends or other distributions
with respect to Parent Common Stock or Exchanged Parent Preferred Stock to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(g),
in each case without interest thereon, shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company and Parent for payment of their claim for
such amounts.
(e)
No Liability. None of the Surviving Company, Parent or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry
Share for any Merger Consideration, or other amounts properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property,
escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Share has not been surrendered prior to the time that is immediately prior to
the time at which the Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the
property of any Governmental Entity, any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company, free and clear of all claims or interest
of any Person previously entitled thereto.
(f)
Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate (other than a Certificate evidencing Cancelled Shares) shall have been
lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or
destroyed and, if reasonably required by the Surviving Company, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount, pursuant
to the policies and procedures of the transfer agent for Parent, as the Surviving Company may direct as indemnity against any claim that
may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to issue in exchange for such lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock or Unconverted Company
Preferred Stock, respectively, formerly represented by such Certificate, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock
to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(h) and any dividends or other distributions with respect to
Parent Common Stock or Exchanged Parent Preferred Stock, respectively, to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section
3.2(g).
(g)
(i) Distributions with Respect to Parent Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to shares
of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any Certificate or Book-Entry Shares
not surrendered with respect to the whole shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder would be entitled to receive upon surrender
of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be paid to any
such holder, in each case until such holder shall surrender such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with this Section
3.2. Following surrender of any such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, there shall be paid to such holder of whole shares of Parent
Common Stock issuable in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) promptly after the time of such surrender, the amount of any dividends
or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common
Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of any dividends
or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to
such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock. For purposes of dividends or other distributions in
respect of shares of Parent Common Stock all whole shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be entitled
to dividends pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence as if such whole shares of Parent Common Stock were issued and outstanding
as of the Effective Time.
(ii)
Distributions with Respect to Exchanged Parent Preferred Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect
to shares of Exchanged Parent Preferred Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any Certificate
or Book-Entry Shares not surrendered with respect to the whole shares of Exchanged Parent Preferred Stock that such holder would be entitled
to receive upon surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares until such holder shall surrender such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares
in accordance with this Section 3.2. Following surrender of any such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, there shall be paid to
such holder of whole shares of Exchanged Parent Preferred Stock issuable in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) promptly after the
time of such surrender, the amount of any dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid
with respect to such whole shares of Exchanged Parent Preferred Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and
(ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of any dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time
but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Exchanged
Parent Preferred Stock. For purposes of dividends or other distributions in respect of shares of Exchanged Parent Preferred Stock all
whole shares of Exchanged Parent Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be entitled to dividends pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence as if such whole shares of Exchanged Parent Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time.
(h)
(i) No Fractional Shares of Parent Common Stock. No certificates or scrip or shares representing fractional shares of Parent Common
Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and such fractional share interests will not
entitle the owner thereof to vote or to have any rights of a shareholder of Parent or a holder of shares of Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock exchanged pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise
have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates and Book-Entry
Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to the product of (i) such
fractional part of a share of Parent Common Stock multiplied by (ii) the average of the daily volume weighted average prices of
one share of Parent Common Stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Closing Date as reported by Bloomberg,
L.P. As promptly as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of shares of Company Common
Stock exchanged pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock
(after taking into account all Certificates and Book-Entry Shares delivered by such holder), the Exchange Agent shall so notify Parent,
and Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to forward payments to such holders of fractional interests subject to and in accordance
with the terms hereof.
(ii)
Fractional Shares of Parent Preferred Stock. Any fractional shares of Parent Preferred Stock shall be paid as fractional shares
of Parent Preferred Stock in lieu of any cash consideration therefor.
(i)
Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent, the Surviving Company and the Exchange
Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from (i) the consideration to be paid by Parent, the Surviving Company or the Exchange
Agent hereunder and (ii) any other amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, any amount required to be deducted and withheld
with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. Before making any
such deduction or withholding (other than with respect to amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement that are treated as compensatory
for Tax purposes or in respect of a failure to deliver any necessary tax forms), the withholding party shall provide the chief executive
officer of the Company with reasonable advance written notice of the intent to make such deduction or withholding, including a description
of the legal and factual basis in support of any such deduction or withholding, and the withholding party shall cooperate with any reasonable
request from the chief executive officer of the Company to reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding (on behalf of the applicable
individual or entity) to the extent permitted by Law. Any such amounts so deducted or withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this
Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.
(j)
Dissenters’ Rights. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights or other rights of objecting shareholders shall be available
with respect to the Merger or the other Transactions.

post grant review, reexamination or other proceeding of any nature (other than office actions or similar communications issued by any
Governmental Entity in the ordinary course of prosecution of any pending applications for registration) is pending or threatened in writing,
in which the scope, validity, enforceability or ownership of any Parent Intellectual Property is being or has been contested or challenged.
Except as set forth in Section 5.14(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, there are no actions that must be taken within ninety
(90) days of the Closing, the failure of which will result in the abandonment, lapse or cancellation of any Parent Registered Intellectual
Property.
(b)
Except as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect,
Parent and its Subsidiaries exclusively own, are the sole assignees of, or have exclusively licensed all material Parent Intellectual
Property (other than as disclosed on Section 5.14(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter), free and clear of all Liens other than
Permitted Liens. All material Parent Intellectual Property that is licensed to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is licensed pursuant
to a written agreement. To the knowledge of Parent, each Parent Associate involved in the creation or development of any material Parent
Intellectual Property, pursuant to such Parent Associate’s activities on behalf of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, has signed
a valid and enforceable written agreement containing an assignment of such Parent Associate’s rights in such Parent Intellectual
Property to Parent or such Subsidiary. Each Parent Associate who has or has had access to trade secrets or confidential information of

(c)
To the knowledge of Parent, no funding, facilities or personnel of any Governmental Entity or any university, college, research institute
or other educational institution has been used to create Parent Intellectual Property, except for any such funding or use of facilities
or personnel that does not result in such Governmental Entity or institution obtaining ownership rights or a license to such Parent Intellectual
property or the right to receive royalties for the practice of such Parent Intellectual Property.
(d)
Section 5.14(d) of the Parent Disclosure Letter sets forth each license agreement pursuant to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries

Parent in its business as currently conducted (each a “Parent In-bound License”) or (ii) grants to any third party a license
under any material Parent Intellectual Property (each a “Parent Out-bound License”) (provided, that, Parent In-bound Licenses
shall not include, when entered into in the ordinary course of business, material transfer agreements, services agreements, clinical
trial agreements, agreements with Parent Associates, commercially available Software-as-a-Service offerings or off-the-shelf software
licenses; and Parent Out-bound Licenses shall not include, when entered into in the ordinary course of business, material transfer agreements,
clinical trial agreements, services agreements, or non-exclusive outbound licenses). To the knowledge of Parent, all Parent In-bound
Licenses and Parent Out-bound Licenses are in full force and effect and are binding obligations of Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent and,
to the knowledge of Parent, each other party to such Parent In-bound Licenses or Parent Out-bound Licenses. Neither Parent or a Subsidiary
of Parent who is a party to such Parent In-bound Licenses or Parent Out-bound Licenses, nor to the knowledge of Parent, any other party
to such Parent In-bound Licenses or Parent Out-bound Licenses, is in material breach under such Parent In-bound Licenses or Parent Out-bound
Licenses.
(e)
To the knowledge of Parent, (i) the operation of the businesses of Parent and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted does not infringe,
misappropriate or otherwise violate any Intellectual Property of any other Person and (ii) no other Person is infringing, misappropriating
or otherwise violating any Parent Intellectual Property. To the knowledge of Parent, no legal proceeding is pending (or, to the knowledge
of Parent and its Subsidiaries, is threatened in writing) (A) against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries alleging that the operation of
the business of Parent or such Subsidiary infringes or constitutes the misappropriation or other violation of any Intellectual Property
of another Person or (B) by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries alleging that another Person has infringed, misappropriated or otherwise
violated any of the Parent Intellectual Property. Since January 1, 2022, Parent and its Subsidiaries have not received any written notice
or other written communication alleging that the operation of the business of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries infringes or constitutes
the misappropriation or other violation of any Intellectual Property of another Person.
(f)
To the knowledge of Parent, none of the Parent Intellectual Property is subject to any pending or outstanding injunction, directive,
order, judgment or other disposition of dispute that adversely and materially restricts the use, transfer, registration or licensing
by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of any such Parent Intellectual Property.
(g)
Parent has taken commercially reasonable steps and implemented commercially reasonable disaster recovery and security plans and procedures
to protect the information technology systems used in, material to or necessary for operation of the business of Parent as currently

intrusions, or breaches of the information technology systems used in, material to or necessary for the operation of the business of
Parent as currently conducted.

(xviii)
enter into any transactions or contracts with any Affiliates (other than directors or officers in their capacities as such) of the Company;
or
(xix)
authorize, agree or enter into any arrangement or understanding to take any action that is prohibited by this Section 6.1(b).
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
from taking any action, at any time or from time to time, that in the reasonable judgment of the Company, upon advice of counsel, is
reasonably necessary for the Company to avoid being required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act; provided
that prior to taking any action under this paragraph, the Company shall provide Parent with reasonable advance notice of any proposed
action and shall in good faith discuss such proposed action with Parent.

Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 6.3, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time or if earlier,
the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, and except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.3,
the Company will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries and will instruct its and their respective Affiliates and Representatives not to,

of the Company or its Subsidiaries, to any Person in connection with or in response to a Company Competing Proposal, (iv) release any
Person from or fail to enforce any standstill provision or similar obligation set forth in any agreement; provided, that the Company
shall be permitted to grant waivers of, and not enforce, any such standstill provision or similar obligation in effect on the date hereof
solely to the extent necessary to permit the counterparty thereto to make a Company Competing Proposal, (v) enter into any binding or
nonbinding letter of intent or agreement in principle, or other agreement providing for a Company Competing Proposal (other than an Acceptable
Non-Disclosure Agreement as provided in Section 6.3(d)(ii)) or (vi) withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify, or propose publicly
to withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation or publicly recommend the approval
or adoption of, or publicly approve or adopt, any Company Competing Proposal (the taking of any action described in clause (vi)
of this Section 6.3(b) being referred to as a “Company Change of Recommendation”).
(c)
From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall advise Parent of the receipt by the Company of any Company Competing Proposal
made on or after the date of this Agreement or any request for non-public information or data relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
made by any Person that informs the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives that it is considering making, or has made,
a Company Competing Proposal or any inquiry or request from any Person for discussions or negotiations with the Company, a Subsidiary
of the Company or any of their or their Affiliates’ respective Representatives relating to a possible Company Competing Proposal
(in each case within twenty-four (24) hours thereof), and the Company shall provide to Parent (within such twenty-four (24) hour time
frame) (i) the identity of the person making the Company Competing Proposal, inquiry or request and (ii) either (A) a copy of any such
Company Competing Proposal made in writing provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) a written summary of the material
terms of such Company Competing Proposal, if not made in writing. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a current basis
with respect to the status and material terms of any such Company Competing Proposal and any material changes to the status of any such
discussions or negotiations.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company, directly or indirectly through one or more of its Representatives,
may:
(i)
make such disclosures as the Company Board or any committee thereof determines in good faith are necessary to comply with Rule 14e-2(a),
Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A and Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or other applicable Laws; provided, however,
that none of the Company, the Company Board or any committee thereof shall, except as expressly permitted by Section 6.3(d)(iii)
or Section 6.3(e), effect a Company Change of Recommendation in any disclosure document or communication filed or publicly issued
or made in conjunction with the compliance with such requirements;
(ii)
prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, engage in the activities prohibited by Section 6.3(b)(ii)-(iii) with
any Person who has made a written, bona fide Company Competing Proposal that did not arise from a breach of the obligations set
forth in this Section 6.3; provided, however, that (A) no non-public information that is prohibited from being furnished
pursuant to Section 6.3(b)(iii) may be furnished until the Company receives an executed Acceptable Non-Disclosure Agreement from
such Person, and (B) prior to taking any such actions, the Company Board or any committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation
with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Company Competing Proposal is, or could reasonably be expected to lead
to, a Company Superior Proposal;
(iii)
prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, in response to a bona fide written Company Competing Proposal from any
Person that did not arise from a breach of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.3, if the Company Board (or any committee
thereof) so chooses, cause the Company to effect a Company Change of Recommendation and/or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section
8.1(d), if prior to taking any such action (A) the Company Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation
with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that (x) such Company Competing Proposal is a Company Superior Proposal and (y)
the failure to terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Company Superior Proposal or make a
Company Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with its legal duties as directors under applicable Law, and (B) the Company shall
have given notice to Parent that the Company has received such proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such proposal,
and stating that the Company intends to take such action (provided that the giving of such notice shall not, in and of itself,
constitute a Company Change of Recommendation), and either (1) Parent shall not have proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement prior to the earlier to occur of the scheduled time for the Company Shareholders Meeting and the third Business Day after
the date on which such notice is given to Parent, or (2) if Parent within the period described in the foregoing clause (1) shall
have proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in a manner that would form a binding contract if accepted by the
Company, the Company Board (or any committee thereof), after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, shall
have determined in good faith that the Company Competing Proposal remains a Company Superior Proposal with respect to Parent’s
revised proposal; provided, however, that each time material modifications to the financial terms of a Company Competing
Proposal determined to be a Company Superior Proposal are made, the time period set forth in this clause (B) prior to which the
Company may effect a Company Change of Recommendation and/or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d) shall be extended
for two Business Days after notification of such change to Parent; and
(iv)
prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, seek clarification from (but not engage in negotiations with or provide non-public
information to) any Person that has made a bona fide written Company Competing Proposal (provided that the Company Competing Proposal
by such Person did not result from a breach or violation of this Section 6.3) solely to clarify and understand the terms and conditions
of such proposal to provide adequate information for the Company Board or any committee thereof to make an informed determination under
Section 6.3(d)(ii).
(e)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) shall be permitted, at any time
prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, other than in response to a Company Competing Proposal (which is addressed
in Section 6.3(d)(iii)), to make a Company Change of Recommendation if (i) an Intervening Event has occurred, (ii) prior to taking
such action, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that
the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its legal duties as directors under applicable Law and (iii) the Company shall
have given notice to Parent that the Company intends to effect a Company Change of Recommendation (which notice will reasonably describe
the reasons for such Company Change of Recommendation, including a description of the Intervening Event in reasonable detail; provided
that the giving of such notice shall not, in and of itself, constitute a Company Change of Recommendation), and either (A) Parent shall
not have proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement prior to the earlier to occur of the scheduled time for the
Company Shareholders Meeting and the third Business Day after the date on which such notice is given to Parent, or (B) if Parent within
the period described in the foregoing clause (A) shall have proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in
a manner that would form a binding contract if accepted by the Company, the Company Board (or a committee thereof), after consultation
with its outside legal counsel, shall have determined in good faith that notwithstanding such proposed changes the failure to make a
Company Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with its legal duties as directors under applicable Law; provided, however, that
in the event the Company Board (or a committee thereof) does not make a Company Change of Recommendation in accordance with the foregoing
procedures, but thereafter determines to make a Company Change of Recommendation pursuant to this Section 6.3(e) in circumstances
involving or relating to another Intervening Event, the foregoing procedures referred to in this Section 6.3(e) shall apply anew.
Section
6.4 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.
(a)
Parent agrees that all rights existing as of the date of this Agreement to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from
Indemnified Liabilities in favor of current and/or former directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
as provided in the Organizational Documents of the Company or any such Subsidiary, any employment agreement or indemnification agreement
in effect on the date hereof or otherwise (which shall be assumed by Parent and the Surviving Company) will continue in full force and
effect in accordance with their terms, and Parent will cause the Surviving Company to perform its respective obligations thereunder.
Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Company shall, jointly and severally, indemnify,
defend and hold harmless each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement or who becomes prior to
the Effective Time, a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or is or was serving at the request of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, Employee
Benefit Plan, trust or other enterprise (the “Indemnified Persons”) against and from all losses, claims, damages,
costs, fines, penalties, expenses (including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses), liabilities, judgments
and amounts that are paid in settlement of, or incurred in connection with any threatened or actual Proceeding to which such Indemnified
Person is, was or becomes a party or is otherwise involved (including as a witness) based, in whole or in part, on or arising, in whole
or in part, out of the fact that such Person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership,
limited liability company, joint venture, Employee Benefit Plan, trust or other enterprise or by reason of anything done or not done
by such Person in any such capacity, whether pertaining to any act or omission occurring or existing prior to, at or after the Effective
Time and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (“Indemnified Liabilities”), including
all Indemnified Liabilities based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to, this Agreement or
the Transactions, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law (and Parent and the Surviving Company shall, jointly
and severally, pay expenses incurred in connection therewith in advance of the final disposition of any such Proceeding to each Indemnified
Person to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law). Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any such Proceeding is brought
or threatened to be brought against any Indemnified Persons (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) the Indemnified
Persons may retain the Company’s regularly engaged legal counsel or other counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and
Parent and the Surviving Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Persons as promptly as
statements therefor are received, and (ii) the Surviving Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to assist in the defense of any
such matter. With respect to any determination of whether any Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification by Parent or Surviving
Company under this Section 6.4, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to require that such determination be made by special, independent
legal counsel selected by the Indemnified Person and approved by Parent or Surviving Company, as applicable (which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and who has not otherwise performed material services for Parent, Surviving Company, the Company
or the Indemnified Person within the last three years. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall
not (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company not to) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek
termination with respect to any Proceeding for which indemnification may be sought by an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement,
unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all Indemnified Persons from all liability
arising out of such Proceeding and does not include the imposition of equitable relief on, or the admission of fault or wrongdoing by,
any Indemnified Person.
(b)
For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Company shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify
any provision in the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Company or its Subsidiaries in any manner that would affect adversely
the rights thereunder or under the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Person to indemnification,
exculpation and expense advancement except to the extent required by applicable Law. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company
and its Subsidiaries to, fulfill and honor any indemnification, expense advancement or exculpation agreements between the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries and any of its directors, officers or employees existing immediately prior the Effective Time.
(c)
To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Parent and the Surviving Company shall indemnify any Indemnified Person against all reasonable
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), such amounts to be payable in advance upon request as provided
in Section 6.4(a), relating to the enforcement of such Indemnified Person’s rights under this Section 6.4 or under
any Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any employment agreement or indemnification agreement in effect
on the date hereof or otherwise, regardless of whether such Indemnified Person is ultimately determined to be entitled to indemnification
hereunder or thereunder.
(d)
Parent and the Surviving Company shall put in place, and Parent shall fully prepay immediately prior to the Effective Time, “tail”
insurance policies (collectively, the “D&O Insurance”) with a claims period of at least six years from the Effective
Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, fiduciary liability insurance and employment practices liability insurance
in an amount and scope at least as favorable as the Company’s existing policies with respect to matters, acts or omissions existing
or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to pay an annual premium
for the D&O Insurance in excess of (for any one year) 150% of the annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance as of the
date of this Agreement; and provided, further, that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount,
Parent shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available, with respect to facts, acts, events or omissions occurring
prior to the Effective Time, for a cost not exceeding such amount.
(e)
In the event that Parent, the Surviving Company or any Subsidiary of the Surviving Company, or any of their respective successors or
assigns, (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such
consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case,
proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Company or such Subsidiary of the Surviving
Company, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.4. The provisions of this Section 6.4
are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the parties and each Person entitled to indemnification, exculpation,
insurance coverage or expense advancement or any other right pursuant to this Section 6.4, and his, her or its heirs and representatives.
The rights of the Indemnified Persons under this Section 6.4 are in addition to any rights such Indemnified Persons may have under the
Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or under any applicable contracts or Law. Parent and the Surviving
Company shall pay all expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Person in enforcing the indemnity
and other obligations provided in this Section 6.4.
Section
6.5 Preparation of Joint Proxy Statement and Registration Statement.
(a)
Parent will promptly furnish to the Company such data and information relating to it, its Subsidiaries (including Merger Sub) and the
holders of Parent Capital Stock, as the Company may reasonably request for the purpose of including such data and information in the
Joint Proxy Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto used by the Company to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval. The Company
will promptly furnish to Parent such data and information relating to it, its Subsidiaries and the holders of Company Capital Stock,
as Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of including such data and information in the Registration Statement (including the
Joint Proxy Statement) and any amendments or supplements thereto.
(b)
The Company and Parent shall cooperate in preparing and shall cause to be filed with the SEC, within 30 calendar days following the date
hereof, a mutually acceptable Joint Proxy Statement relating to the matters to be submitted to the holders of Company Common Stock at
the Company Shareholders Meeting and the holders of Parent Common Stock at the Parent Shareholders Meeting, which will set forth the
Merger Consideration and Exchange Ratio as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.1, and Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC
the Registration Statement (of which the Joint Proxy Statement will be a part). The Company and Parent shall each use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Registration Statement and the Joint Proxy Statement to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the
SEC and to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff. Parent and the Company shall each use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as soon after such filing as practicable but
in no event to exceed 90 calendar days following the initial filing of the Registration Statement and Parent and the Company shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Merger. Each of
the Company and Parent will advise the other promptly after it receives any request by the SEC for amendment of the Joint Proxy Statement
or the Registration Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or any request by the SEC for additional information. Each of
the Company and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all documents that it is responsible for filing with the SEC
in connection with the Transactions to comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) or mailing the Joint Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC with
respect thereto, each of the Company and Parent will (i) provide the other with an opportunity to review and comment on such document
or response (including the proposed final version of such document or response), (ii) include in such document or response all comments
reasonably proposed by the other and (iii) not file or mail such document or respond to the SEC prior to receiving the approval of the
other, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that with respect
to documents filed by a party that are incorporated by reference in the Joint Proxy Statement or Registration Statement, this right of
approval shall apply only with respect to information relating to the other party, its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates, their business,
financial condition or results of operations or the Transactions; and provided, further that the Company, in connection
with any Company Change of Recommendation, may amend or supplement the Joint Proxy Statement (including by incorporation by reference)
and make other filings with the SEC, to effect such Company Change of Recommendation.
(c)
Parent and the Company each shall make all necessary filings with respect to the Merger and the Transactions under the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act and applicable blue-sky laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Each party will advise the other, promptly
after it receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has
been filed, the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of the Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with
the Merger for offer or sale in any jurisdiction. Each of the Company and Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to have any
such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated.
(d)
If at any time prior to the Effective Time, any information relating to Parent or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates,
officers or directors, should be discovered by Parent or the Company that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Registration
Statement or the Joint Proxy Statement, so that such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing
such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the Company Shareholders
and the Parent Shareholders.
Section
6.6 Shareholders Meetings.
(a)
The Company shall take all action necessary in accordance with applicable Laws and the Organizational Documents of the Company to duly
give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders for the purpose of obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, to be held
as promptly as reasonably practicable following the clearance of the Joint Proxy Statement by the SEC. Except as permitted by Section
6.3, the Company shall, through the Company Board, include in the Joint Proxy Statement the Company Board Recommendation for the
approval of the Merger and the other Transactions at the Company Shareholders Meeting and the Company shall solicit from the Company
Shareholders proxies in favor of the approval of the Merger and the other Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, the Company (i) shall be required to adjourn the Company Shareholders Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that
any required supplement or amendment to the Joint Proxy Statement is provided to the Company Shareholders and (ii) may adjourn the Company
Shareholders Meeting if, as of the time for which the Company Shareholders Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Company
Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum or to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval; provided,
however, that unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, the Company Shareholders Meeting shall not be adjourned to a date that
is more than 30 days after the date for which the meeting was previously scheduled; and provided, further, that the Company
Shareholders Meeting shall not be adjourned to a date on or after two Business Days prior to the End Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company may adjourn the Company Shareholders Meeting to a date no later than the second Business Day after the expiration of any
of the periods contemplated by Section 6.3(d)(iii)(B). Unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Article
VIII, the Company’s obligations to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Shareholders Meeting in accordance with
this Section 6.6(a) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the making, commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission
of any Company Superior Proposal or Company Competing Proposal, or by any Company Change of Recommendation.
(b)
Parent shall take all action necessary in accordance with applicable Laws and the Organizational Documents of Parent to duly give notice
of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders for the purpose of obtaining the Parent Shareholder Approval, to be held as promptly
as reasonably practicable following the clearance of the Joint Proxy Statement by the SEC but in no event to exceed 45 calendar days
following such clearance. The Parent shall, through the Parent Board, include in the Joint Proxy Statement the Parent Board Recommendation
for the approval of the Merger and the other Transactions at the Parent Shareholders Meeting and the Parent shall solicit from the Parent
Shareholders proxies in favor of the approval of the Merger and the other Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, Parent (i) shall be required to adjourn the Parent Shareholders Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any
required supplement or amendment to the Joint Proxy Statement is provided to the Parent Shareholders and (ii) may adjourn the Parent
Shareholders Meeting if, as of the time for which the Parent Shareholders Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Parent
Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum or to obtain the Parent Shareholder Approval; provided,
however, that unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, the Parent Shareholders Meeting shall not be adjourned to a date that
is more than 30 days after the date for which the meeting was previously scheduled; and provided, further, that the Parent
Shareholders Meeting shall not be adjourned to a date on or after two Business Days prior to the End Date.
(c)
The parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to hold the Company Shareholders Meeting and the Parent Shareholders Meeting
on the same day.
Section
6.7 Access to Information.

such party and its Subsidiaries and to their books, records, contracts and documents and shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries
to, furnish reasonably promptly to the other party and its Representatives such information concerning its and its Subsidiaries’
business, properties, contracts, records and personnel, in each case as such other party may reasonably request in connection with consummating
the Transactions. Each of the Company and Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to the businesses
of the other party that may result from the requests for access, data and information hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Section 6.7(a), each party shall not be required to, or to cause any of its Subsidiaries to, grant access or furnish information
to the other party or any of its Representatives to the extent that (i) such information is subject to an attorney/client privilege,
the attorney work product doctrine or other legal privilege or (ii) such access or the furnishing of such information is prohibited by
applicable Law or an existing contract or agreement or a contract or agreement entered into after the date of this Agreement in the ordinary
course of business. Each party agrees that it will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, use any information obtained pursuant
to this Section 6.7(a) for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the Transactions.
(b)
The Mutual Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated as of October 23, 2023, between the Company and Parent (the “Non-Disclosure
Agreement”), shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall apply to all information furnished thereunder
or hereunder. All information provided to any party or its Representatives pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement is deemed
to be “Confidential Information” as defined under the Non-Disclosure Agreement.
Section
6.8 Reasonable Best Efforts.
(a)
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken,
all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws or pursuant to any contract
or agreement to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions as soon as practicable after the date hereof, including (i) preparing
and filing or otherwise providing, in consultation with the other party and as promptly as practicable and advisable after the date hereof,
all documentation to effect all necessary applications, notices, petitions, filings and other documents and to obtain as promptly as

the Merger or any of the other Transactions, (ii) taking all steps as may be necessary, subject to the limitations in this Section
6.8, to obtain all such waiting period expirations or terminations, consents, clearances, waivers, licenses, registrations, permits,

to consummate the Merger and the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement.
(b)
In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties shall give any required notices to third parties, and each
of the parties shall use, and cause each of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to use, its reasonable best efforts to obtain
any third party consents that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions. Each of the parties
will furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with the preparation
of any required filings or submissions with any Governmental Entity and will cooperate in responding to any inquiry from a Governmental
Entity, including promptly informing the other parties of such inquiry, consulting in advance before making any presentations or submissions
to a Governmental Entity and supplying each other with copies of all material correspondence, filings or communications between either
party and any Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement. To the extent reasonably practicable, the parties and their Representatives
shall have the right to review in advance and each of the parties will consult the others on, all the information relating to the other
and each of their Affiliates that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Entity in connection
with the Merger and the other Transactions, except that confidential competitively sensitive business information may be redacted from
such exchanges. To the extent reasonably practicable, none of the parties shall, nor shall they permit their respective Representatives
to, participate independently in any meeting or engage in any substantive conversation with any Governmental Entity in respect of any
filing, investigation or other inquiry without giving the other party prior notice of such meeting or conversation and, to the extent
permitted by applicable Law, without giving the other parties the opportunity to attend or participate (whether by telephone or in person)
in any such meeting with such Governmental Entity.
(c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with obtaining any approval or consent from any Person with
respect to the Merger and the other Transactions, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company shall pay or commit to pay to
any Person whose approval or consent is being solicited any cash or other consideration, make any accommodation or commitment or incur
any liability or other obligation to such Person without the prior written consent of Parent. The parties shall cooperate to obtain such
consents.
(d)
Except as described in this Agreement or in Section 6.8 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, in connection with obtaining any approval
or consent from any Person with respect to the Merger and the other Transactions, neither the Parent nor any Subsidiary of Parent shall

or commitment or incur any liability or other obligation to such Person without the prior written consent of the Company.

Parent’s choosing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, to any, some, none or all Business Employees) prior to the Closing Date

Parent and each such employee.
Section
6.10 Parent Loan. Prior to January 31, 2024, Parent shall make a loan to the Company of no less than $3 million (the “Loan”),
which Loan shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Original Loan Documents.
Section

(b) of any notice or other communication received by such party from any Person (other than a Governmental Entity) alleging that the
consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or the other Transactions, if the subject matter of such communication

shall keep the other party reasonably informed on a current basis regarding any such matters, (c) of any Proceeding commenced or, to
any party’s knowledge, threatened against, such party or any of its Affiliates or otherwise relating to, involving or affecting

Transaction (“Transaction Litigation”), and (d) upon becoming aware of the occurrence or impending occurrence of any
event or circumstance relating to it or any of the Subsidiaries of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries of Parent, respectively, which
would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect or a Parent Material Adverse
Effect, as the case may be, or which would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impede the consummation of the Transactions;
provided, however, that, in each case, the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.15 shall not cure any
breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter prior to the date of this Agreement or otherwise limit or
affect the remedies available hereunder to any party. The failure to deliver any such notice shall not affect any of the conditions set
forth in Article VII or give rise to any right to terminate under Article VIII.

in and of itself and solely by virtue of the inclusion of such information in the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter,

that such items are material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,

or warranties or an appropriate cross reference thereto.

The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties or otherwise in this Agreement or in the Company Disclosure
Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter is not intended and shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment of the materiality of

or restrain breaches or threatened breaches and (ii) any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such
bond or similar instrument. If prior to the End Date, any party hereto brings an action to enforce specifically the performance of the
terms and provisions hereof by any other party, the End Date shall automatically be extended by such other time period established by

thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. No agreement on the part of a party to any such extension
or waiver shall be valid unless set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

TERMS
OF SERIES F-1 CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

in accordance with Section 15, all shares of capital stock of the Company shall be junior in rank to all Preferred Shares with respect
to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (such
junior stock is referred to herein collectively as “Junior Stock”). The rights of all such shares of capital stock
of the Company shall be subject to the rights, powers, preferences and privileges of the F-1 Preferred Shares. Without limiting any other
provision of this Certificate of Designations, without the prior express consent of the Required Holders, voting separate as a single
class, the Company shall not hereafter authorize or issue any additional or other shares of capital stock that is (i) of senior rank
to the F-1 Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution
and winding up of the Company (collectively, the “Senior Preferred Stock”), (ii) of pari passu rank to the F-1 Preferred
Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of

In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the F-1 Preferred Shares shall maintain

4.
Conversion. At any time after the Initial Issuance Date, each Preferred Share shall be convertible into validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.
(a)
Holder’s Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(d), at any time or times on or after the Initial Issuance
Date, each Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding Preferred Shares held by such Holder into validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 4(c) at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company
shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction
of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company
shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses
of the Transfer Agent (as defined below)) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion
of any Preferred Shares.
(b)
Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Preferred Share pursuant to Section 4(a)
shall be determined by dividing (x) the Conversion Amount of such Preferred Share by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion
Rate”):
(i)
“Conversion Amount” means, with respect to each Preferred Share, as of the applicable date of determination, the sum
of (1) the Stated Value thereof plus (2) the Additional Amount thereon with respect to such Stated Value and Additional Amount as of
such date of determination.
(ii)
“Conversion Price” means, with respect to each Preferred Share, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination,
$0.0635, subject to adjustment as provided herein
(c)
Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of each Preferred Share shall be conducted in the following manner:
(i)
Optional Conversion. To convert a Preferred Share into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”),
a Holder shall deliver (whether via electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date,
a copy of an executed notice of conversion of the share(s) of Preferred Shares subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company. If required by Section 4(c)(iii), within two
(2) Trading Days following a conversion of any such Preferred Shares as aforesaid, such Holder shall surrender to a nationally recognized
overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company the original certificates, if any, representing the F-1 Preferred Shares (the
“Preferred Share Certificates”) so converted as aforesaid (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to the F-1
Preferred Shares in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as contemplated by Section 17(b)). On or before the first (1st)
Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment of
confirmation and representation as to whether such shares of Common Stock may then be resold pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective and
available registration statement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such
Holder and the Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice
in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following each date on which the Company has received
a Conversion Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement
of a trade initiated on the applicable Conversion Date of such shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Conversion Notice) (the
“Share Delivery Deadline”), the Company shall (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, credit
such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion to such Holder’s
or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is
not participating in FAST, upon the request of such Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified
in such Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock
to which such Holder shall be entitled. If the number of Preferred Shares represented by the Preferred Share Certificate(s) submitted
for conversion pursuant to Section 4(c)(iii) is greater than the number of Preferred Shares being converted, then the Company shall,
as soon as practicable and in no event later than two (2) Trading Days after receipt of the Preferred Share Certificate(s) and at its
own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a new Preferred Share Certificate (in accordance with Section 17(d))
representing the number of Preferred Shares not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon a conversion of Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock
on the Conversion Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate of Designations or the Registration Rights
Agreement, after the effective date of a Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and prior to a Holder’s
receipt of the notice of a Grace Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent
to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to such Holder (or its designee) in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) with respect to which such Holder has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a
copy of the prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent applicable, and for which such Holder
has not yet settled.
(ii)
Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable
Share Delivery Deadline, either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, to issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee)
a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the
Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit such Holder’s or its designee’s
balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion
of any Conversion Amount (as the case may be) or (II) if the Registration Statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock
that are the subject of the Conversion Notice (the “Unavailable Conversion Shares”) is not available for the resale
of such Unavailable Conversion Shares and the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than as required pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement (x) notify such Holder and (y) deliver the shares of Common Stock electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting
such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to such conversion to the Holder’s or
its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately
foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a “Notice Failure” and together with the event described in clause
(I) above, a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, (X) the Company
shall pay in cash to such Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Deadline that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not
timely effected an amount equal to 2% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to such Holder
on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline and to which such Holder is entitled, multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Common Stock
selected by such Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Conversion Date and ending
on the applicable Share Delivery Deadline, and (Y) such Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with
respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, all, or any portion, of such Preferred Shares that has not been converted
pursuant to such Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of an Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations
to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 4(c)(ii) or otherwise. In addition
to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline either (A) the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, the Company
shall fail to issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a certificate and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s
share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the balance account of such
Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled
upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below or (B) a Notice
Failure occurs, and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline such Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise)
shares of Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that
such Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Conversion Failure
or Notice Failure, as applicable (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, the
Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Holder’s request and in such Holder’s discretion, either:
(I) pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to such Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan
costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other
Person in respect, or on behalf, of such Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation
to so issue and deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit to the balance account of such Holder or
such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon
such Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (II) promptly
honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to such Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or
credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Common
Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to such Holder
in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (x) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied
by (y) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable
Conversion Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (II) (each, a “Buy-In Payment Amount”).
Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including,
without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the conversion of the
F-1 Preferred Shares as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any given
Notice Failure and/or Conversion Failure, this Section 4(c)(ii) shall not apply to a Holder to the extent the Company has already paid
such amounts in full to such Holder with respect to such Notice Failure and/or Conversion Failure, as applicable, pursuant to the analogous
sections of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(iii)
Registration; Book-Entry. At the time of issuance of any Preferred Shares hereunder, the applicable Holder may, by written request
(including by electronic-mail) to the Company, elect to receive such Preferred Shares in the form of one or more Preferred Share Certificates
or in Book-Entry form. The Company (or the Transfer Agent, as custodian for the Preferred Shares) shall maintain a register (the “Register”)
for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Holders of each Preferred Share and the Stated Value of the F-1 Preferred Shares
and whether the F-1 Preferred Shares are held by such Holder in Preferred Share Certificates or in Book-Entry form (the “Registered
Preferred Shares”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The
Company and each Holder of the F-1 Preferred Shares shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a
Preferred Share for all purposes (including, without limitation, the right to receive payments and dividends hereunder) notwithstanding
notice to the contrary. A Registered Preferred Share may be assigned, transferred or sold only by registration of such assignment or
sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell one or more Registered Preferred Shares by such
Holder thereof, the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Preferred
Shares in the same aggregate Stated Value as the Stated Value of the surrendered Registered Preferred Shares to the designated assignee
or transferee pursuant to Section 17, provided that if the Company does not so record an assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may
be) of such Registered Preferred Shares within two (2) Business Days of such a request, then the Register shall be automatically deemed
updated to reflect such assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Section 4, following conversion of any Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, the applicable Holder shall not be required
to physically surrender such Preferred Shares held in the form of a Preferred Share Certificate to the Company unless (A) the full or
remaining number of Preferred Shares represented by the applicable Preferred Share Certificate are being converted (in which event such
certificate(s) shall be delivered to the Company as contemplated by this Section 4(c)(iii)) or (B) such Holder has provided the Company
with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of Preferred Shares upon physical
surrender of the applicable Preferred Share Certificate. Each Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Stated Value
and dividends converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) or shall
use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of a Preferred
Share Certificate upon conversion. If the Company does not update the Register to record such Stated Value, and dividends converted and/or
paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) within two (2) Business Days of such
occurrence, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such occurrence. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy,
such records of such Holder establishing the number of Preferred Shares to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and
determinative in the absence of manifest error. A Holder and any transferee or assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge
and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred
Shares represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof. Each Preferred Share
Certificate shall bear the following legend:
ANY
TRANSFEREE OR ASSIGNEE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE CORPORATION’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING
TO THE SHARES OF SERIES F-1 PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 4(c)(iii) THEREOF. THE NUMBER OF SHARES
OF SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES F-1 PREFERRED STOCK STATED
ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 4(c)(iii) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES F-1 PREFERRED STOCK
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.
(iv)
Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same
Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Preferred Shares submitted for conversion, the Company shall convert
from each Holder electing to have Preferred Shares converted on such date a pro rata amount of such Holder’s Preferred Shares submitted
for conversion on such date based on the number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to
the aggregate number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company shall issue to such Holder the
number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 22.
(d)
Limitation on Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect the conversion of any of the F-1 Preferred Shares held by a Holder,
and such Holder shall not have the right to convert any of the F-1 Preferred Shares held by such Holder pursuant to the terms and conditions
of this Certificate of Designations and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after
giving effect to such conversion, such Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess
of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder
and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder and all other Attribution Parties
plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the F-1 Preferred Shares with respect to which the determination
of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining,
nonconverted Preferred Shares beneficially owned by such Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion
of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes,
convertible preferred stock or warrants, including the F-1 Preferred Shares and the Warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any
other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 4(d).
For purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes
of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock a Holder may acquire upon the conversion of such Preferred Shares without
exceeding the Maximum Percentage, such Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s
most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC,
as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer
Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”).
If the Company receives a Conversion Notice from a Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less
than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify such Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause such Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined
pursuant to this Section 4(d), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, such Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of
Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of any
Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to such Holder the number of
shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving
effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including such Preferred Shares, by such Holder and any other Attribution
Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common
Stock to a Holder upon conversion of such Preferred Shares results in such Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially
own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section
13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which such Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate
beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall
be cancelled ab initio, and such Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written
notice to the Company, any Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st)
day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage of such Holder to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as
specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st)
day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder and the other
Attribution Parties and not to any other Holder that is not an Attribution Party of such Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares
of Common Stock issuable to a Holder pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall
not be deemed to be beneficially owned by such Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of
the 1934 Act. No prior inability to convert such Preferred Shares pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability
of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph
shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to the extent
necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial
ownership limitation contained in this Section 4(d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect
to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of such Preferred
Shares.
(e)
Right of Alternate Conversion Upon a Triggering Event.
(i)
Subject to Section 4(d), at any time after the earlier of a Holder’s receipt of a Triggering Event Notice (as defined below) and
such Holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event (such earlier date, the “Triggering Event Right Commencement Date”)
and ending (such ending date, the “Triggering Event Right Expiration Date”, and each such period, an “Triggering
Event Conversion Right Period”) on the twentieth (20th) Trading Day after the later of (x) the date such Triggering
Event is cured and (y) such Holder’s receipt of a Triggering Event Notice that includes (I) a reasonable description of the applicable
Triggering Event, (II) a certification as to whether, in the opinion of the Company, such Triggering Event is capable of being cured
and, if applicable, a reasonable description of any existing plans of the Company to cure such Triggering Event and (III) a certification
as to the date the Triggering Event occurred and, if cured on or prior to the date of such Triggering Event Notice, the applicable Triggering
Event Right Expiration Date, such Holder may, at such Holder’s option, by delivery of a Conversion Notice to the Company (the date
of any such Conversion Notice, each an “Alternate Conversion Date”), convert all, or any number of Preferred Shares
(such Conversion Amount of the F-1 Preferred Shares to be converted pursuant to this Section 4(e)(ii), each, an “Alternate Conversion
Amount”) into shares of Common Stock at the Alternate Conversion Price (each, an “Alternate Conversion”).
(ii)
Mechanics of Alternate Conversion. On any Alternate Conversion Date, a Holder may voluntarily convert any Alternate Conversion
Amount of Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 4(c) (with “Alternate Conversion Price” replacing “Conversion Price”
for all purposes hereunder with respect to such Alternate Conversion and with “Required Premium of the Conversion Amount”
replacing “Conversion Amount” in clause (x) of the definition of Conversion Rate above with respect to such Alternate Conversion)
by designating in the Conversion Notice delivered pursuant to this Section 4(e) of this Certificate of Designations that such Holder
is electing to use the Alternate Conversion Price for such conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(e),
but subject to Section 4(d), until the Company delivers shares of Common Stock representing the applicable Alternate Conversion Amount
of Preferred Shares to such Holder, such Preferred Shares may be converted by such Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section
4(c) without regard to this Section 4(e).
5.

above so long as the Company provides each Holder a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider (which written statement
shall be reasonably satisfactory to each Holder) to the effect that such judgment is covered by insurance or an indemnity and the Company
or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within thirty (30) days of the issuance
of such judgment;
(xiv)
the Company and/or any Subsidiary, individually or in the aggregate, either (i) fails to pay, when due, or within any applicable grace

or violation of any agreement for monies owed or owing in an amount in excess of $100,000, which breach or violation permits the other
party thereto to declare a default or otherwise accelerate amounts due thereunder, or (ii) suffer to exist any other circumstance or

binding the Company or any Subsidiary, which default or event of default would or is likely to have a material adverse effect on the

authority having jurisdiction over any of them, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof or the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries shall deny in writing that it has any liability or obligation purported to be created under one or more Transaction
Documents.
(b)
Notice of a Triggering Event. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event with respect to the Preferred Shares, the Company shall
within one (1) Business Day deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier (with next day delivery specified)
(an “Triggering Event Notice”) to each Holder.
(c)
Mandatory Redemption upon Bankruptcy Triggering Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and notwithstanding any
conversion that is then required or in process, upon any Bankruptcy Triggering Event, the Company shall immediately redeem, in cash,
each of the F-1 Preferred Shares then outstanding at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (A) the Conversion
Amount to be redeemed multiplied by (B) the Required Premium and (ii) the product of (X) the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion
Amount in effect immediately following the date of initial public announcement (or public filing of bankruptcy documents, as applicable)
of such Bankruptcy Triggering Event multiplied by (Y) the product of (1) the Required Premium multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing
Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such Bankruptcy Triggering
Event and ending on the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under this Section 5(c), without the requirement
for any notice or demand or other action by any Holder or any other person or entity, provided that a Holder may, in its sole discretion,
waive such right to receive payment upon a Bankruptcy Triggering Event, in whole or in part, and any such waiver shall not affect any
other rights of such Holder or any other Holder hereunder, including any other rights in respect of such Bankruptcy Triggering Event
or any right to conversion (or Alternate Conversion), as applicable.
(d)
Company Elected Redemptions.
(i)
Company Optional Redemptions. At any time, the Company shall have the right to redeem all, or any portion, of the F-1 Preferred
Shares then outstanding (the “Company Optional Redemption Amount”) on the Company Optional Redemption Date (as defined
below) (a “Company Optional Redemption”). The Preferred Shares subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5(d)
shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (the “Company Optional Redemption Price”) equal to the greater
of (i) the Conversion Amount being redeemed as of the Company Optional Redemption Date and (ii) solely if an Equity Conditions Failure
then exists, the product of (1) the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount being redeemed as of the Company Optional Redemption
Date multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date
immediately preceding such Company Optional Redemption Notice Date and ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date the Company
makes the entire payment required to be made under this Section 5(d). The Company may exercise its right to require redemption under
this Section 5(d) delivering a written notice thereof by electronic mail and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the
Holders (the “Company Optional Redemption Notice” and the date all of the Holders received such notice is referred
to as the “Company Optional Redemption Notice Date”). The Company may deliver only one Company Optional Redemption
Notice hereunder and such Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. The Company Optional Redemption Notice shall (x) state
the date on which the Company Optional Redemption shall occur (the “Company Optional Redemption Date”) which date
shall not be less than ten (10) Trading Days nor more than sixty (60) Trading Days following the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date,
and (y) state the aggregate Conversion Amount of the F-1 Preferred Shares which is being redeemed in such Company Optional Redemption
from such Holder and all of the other Holders of the F-1 Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 5(d) on the Company Optional Redemption
Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time prior to the date the Company Optional Redemption Price is paid, in
full, the Company Optional Redemption Amount may be converted, in whole or in part, by any Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant
to Section 4. All Conversion Amounts converted by a Holder after the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date shall reduce the Company
Optional Redemption Amount of the F-1 Preferred Shares of such Holder required to be redeemed on the Company Optional Redemption Date.
Redemptions made pursuant to this Section 5(d) shall be made in accordance with Section 5(d)(ii). In the event of the Company’s
redemption of any of the F-1 Preferred Shares under this Section 5(d), a Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate
because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute
investment opportunity for such Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 5(d) is intended by the parties to
be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of such Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no right to effect a Company Optional Redemption if any Triggering Event has occurred
and continuing, but any Triggering Event shall have no effect upon any Holder’s right to convert Preferred Shares in its discretion.
(ii)
Mechanics of Company Elected Redemptions. The Company shall deliver the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price to each Holder
in cash on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date. If the Company has elected to pay a Change of Control Election Price in cash
in accordance with Section 6(b), the Company shall deliver the applicable Change of Control Election Price (and together with any Company
Optional Redemption Price, each a “Redemption Price”) to such Holder in cash concurrently with the consummation of
such Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with any redemption hereunder at a time a Holder
is entitled to receive a cash payment under any of the other Transaction Documents, at the option of such Holder delivered in writing
to the Company, the applicable Redemption Price hereunder shall be increased by the amount of such cash payment owed to such Holder under
such other Transaction Document and, upon payment in full or conversion in accordance herewith, shall satisfy the Company’s payment
obligation under such other Transaction Document. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Preferred Shares, the Company
shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to such Holder a new Preferred Share Certificate (in accordance with Section 17) (or
evidence of the creation of a new Book-Entry) representing the number of Preferred Shares which have not been redeemed. In the event
that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to a Holder within the time period required for any reason (including,
without limitation, to the extent such payment is prohibited pursuant to the DGCL), at any time thereafter and until the Company pays
such unpaid Redemption Price in full, such Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return
to such Holder all or any of the F-1 Preferred Shares that were submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price
has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable redemption shall be null and void with respect
to such Preferred Shares, (y) the Company shall immediately return the applicable Preferred Share Certificate, or issue a new Preferred
Share Certificate (in accordance with Section 17(d)), to such Holder (unless the F-1 Preferred Shares are held in Book-Entry form, in
which case the Company shall deliver evidence to such Holder that a Book-Entry for such Preferred Shares then exists), and in each case
the Additional Amount of such Preferred Shares shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between (1) the applicable Redemption
Price (as the case may be, and as adjusted pursuant to this Section 5(d)(ii), if applicable) minus (2) the Stated Value portion of the
Conversion Amount submitted for redemption.
6.
Rights Upon Fundamental Transactions.
(a)
Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes
in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and
approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Preferred Shares
in exchange for such Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form
and substance to this Certificate of Designations, including, without limitation, having a stated value and dividend rate equal to the
stated value and dividend rate of the F-1 Preferred Shares held by the Holders and having similar ranking to the Preferred Shares, and
satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose
shares of common stock are quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction,
the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions
of this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to
the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under
this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named
as the Company herein and therein. In addition to the foregoing, upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity
shall deliver to each Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of the F-1 Preferred Shares at any
time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets
or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 7 and 14, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable
upon the conversion or redemption of the F-1 Preferred Shares prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded
common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which each Holder would have been entitled to
receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had all the F-1 Preferred Shares held by each Holder been converted immediately
prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the F-1 Preferred Shares contained in this
Certificate of Designations), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, such Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 6(a) to permit
the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of the Preferred Shares. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply similarly and
equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption
of the Preferred Shares.
(b)
Notice of a Change of Control; Change of Control Election Notice. No sooner than twenty (20) Trading Days nor later than ten (10)
Trading Days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date”), but not prior to the
public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier
to each Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after a Holder’s receipt
of a Change of Control Notice or such Holder becoming aware of a Change of Control if a Change of Control Notice is not delivered to
such Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence (as applicable) and ending on twenty (20) Trading Days after the later
of (A) the date of consummation of such Change of Control or (B) the date of receipt of such Change of Control Notice or (C) the date
of the announcement of such Change of Control, such Holder may require, by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control
Election Notice”) to the Company (which Change of Control Election Notice shall indicate the number of Preferred Shares subject
to such election), to have the Company exchange such Holder’s Preferred Shares designated in such Change of Control Election Notice
for consideration equal to the Change of Control Election Price (as defined below), to be satisfied at the Company’s election (such
election to pay in cash or by delivery of the Rights (as defined below), a “Consideration Election”), in either (I)
rights (with a beneficial ownership limitation in the form of Section 4(d) hereof, mutatis mutandis) (collectively, the “Rights”),
convertible in whole, or in part, at any time, without the requirement to pay any additional consideration, at the option of the Holder,
into such Corporate Event Consideration (as defined below) applicable to such Change of Control equal in value to the Change of Control
Election Price (as determined with the fair market value of the aggregate number of Successor Shares (as defined below) issuable upon
conversion of the Rights to be determined in increments of 10% (or such greater percentage as the applicable Holder may notify the Company
from time to time) of the portion of the Change of Control Election Price attributable to such Successor Shares (the “Successor
Share Value Increment”), with the aggregate number of Successor Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights with respect to
the first Successor Share Value Increment determined based on 70% of the Closing Bid Price of the Successor Shares on the date the Rights
are issued and on each of the nine (9) subsequent Trading Days, in each case, the aggregate number of additional Successor Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Rights shall be determined based upon a Successor Share Value Increment at 70% of the Closing Bid Price of the Successor
Shares in effect for such corresponding Trading Day (such ten (10) Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the date the Rights
are issued, the “Rights Measuring Period”)), or (II) in cash; provided, that the Company shall not consummate a Change
of Control if the Corporate Event Consideration includes capital stock or other equity interest (the “Successor Shares”)
either in an entity that is not listed on an Eligible Market or an entity in which the daily share volume for the applicable Successor
Shares for each of the twenty (20) Trading Days prior to the date of consummation of such Change of Control is less than the aggregate
number of Successor Shares issuable to all Holders upon conversion in full of the applicable Rights (without regard to any limitations
on conversion therein, assuming the exercise in full of the Rights on the date of issuance of the Rights and assuming the Closing Bid
Price of the Successor Shares for each Trading Day in the Rights Measuring Period is the Closing Bid Price on the Trading Day ended immediately
prior to the time of consummation of the Change of Control). The Company shall give each Holder written notice of each Consideration
Election at least twenty (20) Trading Days prior to the time of consummation of such Change of Control. Payment of such amounts or delivery
of the Rights, as applicable, shall be made by the Company (or at the Company’s direction) to each Holder on the later of (x) the
second (2nd) Trading Day after the date of such request and (y) the date of consummation of such Change of Control (or, with respect
to any Right, if applicable, such later time that holders of shares of Common Stock are initially entitled to receive Corporate Event
Consideration with respect to the shares of Common Stock of such holder). Any Corporate Event Consideration included in the Rights, if
any, pursuant to this Section 6(b) is pari passu with the Corporate Event Consideration to be paid to holders of shares of Common
Stock and the Company shall not permit a payment of any Corporate Event Consideration to the holders of shares of Common Stock without
on or prior to such time delivering the Right to the Holders in accordance herewith. Cash payments, if any, required by this Section
6(b) shall have priority to payments to all other stockholders of the Company in connection with such Change of Control. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 6(b), but subject to Section 4(d), until the applicable Change of Control Election Price is
paid in full to the applicable Holder in cash or Corporate Event Consideration in accordance herewith, the F-1 Preferred Shares submitted
by such Holder for exchange or payment, as applicable, under this Section 6(b) may be converted, in whole or in part, by such Holder
into Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of such Change of Control, stock
or equity interests of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to the Company’s shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section
6(a). In the event of the Company’s repayment or exchange, as applicable, of any of the F-1 Preferred Shares under this Section
6(b), such Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future
interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for a Holder. Accordingly, any
Required Premium due under this Section 6(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of such Holder’s
actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. If the Company elects to pay the applicable Change of Control Election
Price in cash, such redemption of Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be made in accordance with Section 5(d)(ii) above.
7.
Rights Upon Issuance of Purchase Rights and Other Corporate Events.
(a)
Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 and Section 14 below, if at any time the Company grants,
issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all
or substantially all of the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then each Holder
will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could
have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of all the F-1 Preferred
Shares (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the F-1 Preferred Shares and assuming for
such purpose that all the F-1 Preferred Shares were converted at the Alternate Conversion Price as of the applicable record date) held
by such Holder immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or,
if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue
or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided, however, to the extent that such Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase
Right would result in such Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled
to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of
such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent of any such excess) and such
Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar
provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable) for the benefit of such Holder until such
time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in such Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum
Percentage, at which time or times such Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial
Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity
date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable)) to the same extent
as if there had been no such limitation.
(b)
Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any
Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect
to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to
ensure that each Holder will thereafter have the right, at such Holder’s option, to receive upon a conversion of all the F-1 Preferred
Shares held by such Holder (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets
(the “Corporate Event Consideration”) to which such Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of
Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by such Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into
account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the F-1 Preferred Shares set forth in this Certificate of Designations)
or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by
the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as such Holder would
have been entitled to receive had the F-1 Preferred Shares held by such Holder initially been issued with conversion rights for the form
of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion
Rate. Provision made pursuant the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions
of this Section 7 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations
on the conversion or redemption of the F-1 Preferred Shares set forth in this Certificate of Designations.
8.
Rights Upon Issuance of Other Securities.
(a)
Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date the Company grants,
issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell), or in accordance with this Section 8(a) is deemed to have granted,
issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the granting, issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for
the account of the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities granted, issued or sold or deemed to have been granted, issued or sold)
for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such granting, issuance or sale or deemed granting, issuance or sale (such Conversion Price then in effect is referred
to herein as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then, immediately after
such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For all purposes
of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Conversion Price and the New Issuance Price under this Section
8(a)), the following shall be applicable:
(i)
Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants, issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell)
any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such
Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise
pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and
to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting, issuance or sale of such Option for such price per share. For
purposes of this Section 8(a)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon
the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any
such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting, issuance
or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon
exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option for which
one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon the exercise of any such
Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise
pursuant to the terms thereof, minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) with
respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting, issuance or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion,
exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof plus
the value of any other consideration (including, without limitation, consideration consisting of cash, debt forgiveness, assets or any
other property) received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated
below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such
Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof or upon the actual issuance of such
shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(ii)
Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to issue or sell)
any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion,
exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common
Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale (or the time
of execution of such agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes
of this Section 8(a)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion,
exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the
lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance
or sale (or pursuant to the agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of such Convertible Security or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Convertible
Security for which one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon conversion,
exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder
of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale (or the agreement
to issue or sell, as applicable) of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable (including,
without limitation, any consideration consisting of cash, debt forgiveness, assets or other property) by, or benefit conferred on, the
holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price
shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities
or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, and if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of
any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 8(a),
except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.
(iii)
Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration,
if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible
Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time (other than
proportional changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to in Section 8(b) below),
the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been
in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional
consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate (as the case may be) at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes
of this Section 8(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (including, without limitation, any Option or Convertible
Security that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date) are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding
sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange
thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(a)
shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.
(iv)
Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right is issued in connection
with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (as determined by the Required Holder, the
“Primary Security”, and such Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right, the “Secondary Securities”),
together comprising one integrated transaction (or one or more transactions if such issuances or sales or deemed issuances or sales of
securities of the Company either (A) have at least one investor or purchaser in common, (B) are consummated in reasonable proximity to
each other and/or (C) are consummated under the same plan of financing), the aggregate consideration per share of Common Stock with respect
to such Primary Security shall be deemed to be equal to the difference of (x) the lowest price per share for which one share of Common
Stock was issued (or was deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) or 8(a)(ii) above, as applicable) in such integrated transaction
solely with respect to such Primary Security, minus (y) with respect to such Secondary Securities, the sum of (I) the Black Scholes Consideration
Value of each such Option, if any, (II) the fair market value (as determined by the Required Holder in good faith) or the Black Scholes
Consideration Value, as applicable, of such Adjustment Right, if any, and (III) the fair market value (as determined by the Required
Holder) of such Convertible Security, if any, in each case, as determined on a per share basis in accordance with this Section 8(a)(iv).
If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the
consideration received therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security,
but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value) will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration
received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration
other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for
such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value)
will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the
amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for
each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities
are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the
amount of consideration therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option or Convertible
Security, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value) will be deemed to be the fair value of
such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities (as the case may be). The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be
determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the
occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined
within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser
jointly selected by the Company and the Required Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties
absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(v)
Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive
a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale
of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution
or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).
(b)
Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. Without limiting any provision of Section 7 or
Section 14, if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination,
recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provision
of Section 7 or Section 14, if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend,
stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any
adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 8(b) occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder,
then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.
(c)
Holder’s Right of Adjusted Conversion Price. In addition to and not in limitation of the other provisions of this Section
8(c), if the Company in any manner issues or sells or enters into any agreement to issue or sell, any Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities (any such securities, “Variable Price Securities”) after the Subscription Date that are issuable pursuant
to such agreement or convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock at a price which varies or may vary with
the market price of the shares of Common Stock, including by way of one or more reset(s) to a fixed price, but exclusive of such formulations
reflecting share splits, share combinations, and share dividends (each of the formulations for such variable price being herein referred
to as, the “Variable Price”), the Company shall provide written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier
to each Holder on the date of such agreement and/or the issuance of such shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or Options, as
applicable. From and after the date the Company enters into such agreement or issues any such Variable Price Securities, each Holder
shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to substitute the Variable Price for the Conversion Price upon conversion
of the F-1 Preferred Shares by designating in the Conversion Notice delivered upon any conversion of Preferred Shares that solely for
purposes of such conversion such Holder is relying on the Variable Price rather than the Conversion Price then in effect. A Holder’s
election to rely on a Variable Price for a particular conversion of Preferred Shares shall not obligate such Holder to rely on a Variable
Price for any future conversions of Preferred Shares.
(d)
Stock Combination Event Adjustments. If at any time and from time to time on or after the Subscription Date there occurs any stock
split, stock dividend, stock combination recapitalization or other similar transaction involving the Common Stock (each, a “Stock
Combination Event”, and such date thereof, the “Stock Combination Event Date”) and the Event Market Price
is less than the Conversion Price then in effect (after giving effect to the adjustment in Section 8(b) above), then on the sixteenth
(16th) Trading Day immediately following such Stock Combination Event Date, the Conversion Price then in effect on such sixteenth (16th)
Trading Day (after giving effect to the adjustment in Section 8(b) above) shall be reduced (but in no event increased) to the Event Market
Price. For the avoidance of doubt, if the adjustment in the immediately preceding sentence would otherwise result in an increase in the
Conversion Price hereunder, no adjustment shall be made.
(e)
Other Events. In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly
applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect any Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated
by the provisions of this Section 8(e) but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting
of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Board shall in good faith determine
and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of such Holder, provided that no such adjustment
pursuant to this Section 8(e) will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 8(e), provided further
that if such Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then
the Board and such Holder shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such
appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error and whose fees and expenses shall be borne
by the Company.
(f)
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 8(f) shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th
of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or
held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(g)
Voluntary Adjustment by Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the Company may at any time any
Preferred Shares remain outstanding, with the prior written consent of the Required Holder, reduce the then current Conversion Price
to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board.
(h)
Adjustments. If on any of the thirtieth (30th), sixtieth (60th), ninetieth (90th),one hundred
and twentieth (120th), and one hundred and eightieth (180th), as applicable, calendar day after the Initial Issuance
Date (the “Adjustment Date”), the Conversion Price then in effect is greater than the Market Price then in effect
(the “Adjustment Price”), on the Adjustment Date the Conversion Price shall automatically lower to the Adjustment
Price.
9.
Noncircumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation
(as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), Bylaws (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Certificate of Designations, and will at all times in
good faith carry out all the provisions of this Certificate of Designations and take all action as may be required to protect the rights
of the Holders hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Certificate of Designations
or the other Transaction Documents, the Company (a) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the
conversion of any Preferred Shares above the Conversion Price then in effect, (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the conversion
of Preferred Shares and (c) shall, so long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available
out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares,
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of the F-1 Preferred Shares
then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
if after the sixty (60) calendar day anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date, each Holder is not permitted to convert such Holder’s
Preferred Shares in full for any reason (other than pursuant to restrictions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof), the Company shall use
its best efforts to promptly remedy such failure, including, without limitation, obtaining such consents or approvals as necessary to
effect such conversion into shares of Common Stock.
10.
Authorized Shares.
(a)
Reservation. So long as any Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company shall at all times reserve at least 300% of the number
of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion, including without limitation, Alternate Conversions,
of all of the F-1 Preferred Shares then outstanding at the Alternate Conversion Price then in effect (without regard to any limitations
on conversions) (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The Required Reserve Amount (including, without limitation, each
increase in the number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of the F-1Preferred Shares
held by each Holder on the Initial Issuance Date or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized
Share Allocation”). In the event that a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Preferred Shares,
each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock
reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Preferred Shares shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Preferred
Shares, pro rata based on the number of the F-1Preferred Shares then held by the Holders.
(b)
Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 10(a) and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the
F-1 Preferred Shares remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock
to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the F-1 Preferred Shares at least a number of shares of Common Stock
equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all
action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve
the Required Reserve Amount for the F-1 Preferred Shares then outstanding (or deemed outstanding pursuant to Section 10(a) above). Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure,
but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of
its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting,
the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval
of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they
approve such proposal (or, if a majority of the voting power then in effect of the capital stock of the Company consents to such increase,
in lieu of such proxy statement, deliver to the stockholders of the Company an information statement that has been filed with (and either
approved by or not subject to comments from) the SEC with respect thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such time of an Authorized
Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining
such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information Statement on Schedule 14C. In the event that the Company is prohibited
from issuing shares of Common Stock to a Holder upon any conversion due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common
Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorized
Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorized Failure Shares to such Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange
for the redemption of such portion of the Conversion Amount of the F-1 Preferred Shares convertible into such Authorized Failure Shares
at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorized Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price
of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date such Holder delivers the applicable Conversion Notice
with respect to such Authorized Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section
10(a); and (ii) to the extent such Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of Authorized Failure Shares, any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any,
of such Holder incurred in connection therewith. Nothing contained in Section 10(a) or this Section 10(b) shall limit any obligations
of the Company under any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement.
11.
Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise required by law, the Series F-1 Preferred Stock shall have
no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series F-1 Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series F-1 Preferred Stock (the “Requisite
Holders”), (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series F-1 Preferred Stock or alter or
amend this Certificate of Designation, (b) amend its certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely
affects any rights of the Holders, (c) increase the number of authorized shares of Series F-1 Preferred Stock, or (d) enter into any
agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
12.

and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business consistent with its past practice and (ii) sales of inventory and product in
the ordinary course of business.
(f)
Change in Nature of Business. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or

its existence, rights and privileges, and become or remain, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to become or remain, duly qualified and
in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its
business makes such qualification necessary.
(h)
Maintenance of Properties, Etc. The Company shall maintain and preserve, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain and preserve,
all of its properties which are necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary
wear and tear excepted, and comply, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, at all times with the provisions of all leases to which
it is a party as lessee or under which it occupies property, so as to prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder.
(i) Maintenance of Intellectual Property. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, take all action necessary or advisable to maintain all of the Intellectual Property Rights of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries that are necessary or material to the conduct of its business in full force and effect.
(j)

interruption insurance) with respect to its properties (including all real properties leased or owned by it) and business, in such amounts
and covering such risks as is required by any governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto or as is carried generally
in accordance with sound business practice by companies in similar businesses similarly situated.

or be a party to, any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease, transfer

ordinary course of business in a manner and to an extent consistent with past practice and necessary or desirable for the prudent operation
of its business, for fair consideration and on terms no less favorable to it or its Subsidiaries than would be obtainable in a comparable
arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an affiliate thereof.
(l)
Restricted Issuances. The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders,
(i) issue any Preferred Shares (other than as contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and this Certificate of Designations),
or (ii) issue any other securities that would cause a breach or default under this Certificate of Designations or the Warrants.
(m)
Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. To the extent that it may lawfully do so, the Company (A) agrees that it will not at any time
insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law (wherever
or whenever enacted or in force) that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Certificate of Designations; and (B) expressly
waives all benefits or advantages of any such law and agrees that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the

with any related interest or penalties) now or hereafter imposed or assessed against the Company and its Subsidiaries or their respective
assets or upon their ownership, possession, use, operation or disposition thereof or upon their rents, receipts or earnings arising therefrom
(except where the failure to pay would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries).
The Company and its Subsidiaries shall file on or before the due date therefor all personal property tax returns (except where the failure
to file would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries may contest, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, taxes for which they maintain
adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP.
(o)
PCAOB Registered Auditor. At all times any Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company shall have engaged an independent
auditor to audit its financial statements that is registered with (and in compliance with the rules and regulations of) the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board.
13.
Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding-Up. In the event of a Liquidation Event, the Holders shall be entitled to receive in cash out
of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders (the “Liquidation
Funds”), before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any of shares of Junior Stock, but pari passu with any Parity Stock
then outstanding, an amount per Preferred Share equal to the sum of (i) the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Warrants) with respect
to the outstanding portion of all Warrants held by such Holder (without regard to any limitations on the exercise thereof) as of the
date of such event and (ii) the greater of (A) 125% of the Conversion Amount of such Preferred Share on the date of such payment and
(B) the amount per share such Holder would receive if such Holder converted such Preferred Share into Common Stock immediately prior
to the date of such payment, provided that if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders
of shares of Parity Stock, then each Holder and each holder of Parity Stock shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal
to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder and such holder of Parity Stock as a liquidation preference, in accordance
with their respective certificate of designations (or equivalent), as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to
all holders of Preferred Shares and all holders of shares of Parity Stock. To the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such actions
to be taken by each of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event
to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section 13. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this
Section 13 shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution
of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to the holders of shares of Junior Stock in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this
Section 13 applies. Upon payment in full of the Black-Scholes Value (as defined in the Warrants) of such Warrants pursuant to this Section
13, such Warrants shall be deemed repurchased by the Company and no longer exercisable.
14.
Distribution of Assets. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 7(a) and Section 8, if the Company shall declare or
make any dividend or other distributions of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to any or all holders of shares of Common Stock,
by way of return of capital or otherwise (including without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property
or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction)
(the “Distributions”), then each Holder, as holders of Preferred Shares, will be entitled to such Distributions as
if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the F-1 Preferred Shares (without
taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the F-1 Preferred Shares and assuming for such purpose that
the Preferred Share was converted at the Alternate Conversion Price as of the applicable record date) immediately prior to the date on
which a record is taken for such Distribution or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock
are to be determined for such Distributions (provided, however, that to the extent that such Holder’s right to participate
in any such Distribution would result in such Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder
shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial
ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to such extent of any such excess)
and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of such Holder until such time or times as its right thereto
would not result in such Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times, if any, such
Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution
held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
15.
Vote to Change the Terms of or Issue Preferred Shares. In addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote
or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another provision of the Certificate of Incorporation,
without first obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the
Required Holders, voting together as a single class, the Company shall not: (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision
to, its Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any certificate of designations or articles of amendment of any series of shares
of preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or change in any respect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers, or restrictions
provided for the benefit of the F-1 Preferred Shares hereunder, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment
to the Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise; (b) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the
authorized number of Preferred Shares; (c) without limiting any provision of Section 2, create or authorize (by reclassification or otherwise)
any new class or series of Senior Preferred Stock or Parity Stock; (d) purchase, repurchase or redeem any shares of Junior Stock (other
than pursuant to the terms of the Company’s equity incentive plans and options and other equity awards granted under such plans
(that have in good faith been approved by the Board)); (e) without limiting any provision of Section 2, pay dividends or make any other
distribution on any shares of any Junior Stock; (f) issue any Preferred Shares other than as contemplated hereby or pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement; or (g) without limiting any provision of Section 8, whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Preferred Shares,
circumvent a right of the F-1 Preferred Shares hereunder.
16.
Transfer of Preferred Shares. A Holder may offer, sell or transfer some or all of its Preferred Shares without the consent of
the Company, subject only to the provisions of Section 2(g) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
17.
Reissuance of Preferred Share Certificates and Book Entries.
(a)
Transfer. If any Preferred Shares are to be transferred, the applicable Holder shall surrender the applicable Preferred Share
Certificate to the Company (or, if the F-1 Preferred Shares are held in Book-Entry form, a written instruction letter to the Company),
whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new Preferred Share Certificate (in accordance
with Section 17(d)) (or evidence of the transfer of such Book-Entry), registered as such Holder may request, representing the outstanding
number of Preferred Shares being transferred by such Holder and, if less than the entire outstanding number of Preferred Shares is being
transferred, a new Preferred Share Certificate (in accordance with Section 17(d)) to such Holder representing the outstanding number
of Preferred Shares not being transferred (or evidence of such remaining Preferred Shares in a Book-Entry for such Holder). Such Holder
and any assignee, by acceptance of the Preferred Share Certificate or evidence of Book-Entry issuance, as applicable, acknowledge and
agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 4(c)(i) following conversion or redemption of any of the Preferred Shares, the outstanding
number of Preferred Shares represented by the F-1 Preferred Shares may be less than the number of Preferred Shares stated on the face
of the Preferred Shares.
(b)
Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Preferred Share Certificate. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Preferred Share Certificate (as to which a written certification and the indemnification
contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking
by the applicable Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation
of such Preferred Share Certificate, the Company shall execute and deliver to such Holder a new Preferred Share Certificate (in accordance
with Section 17(d)) representing the applicable outstanding number of Preferred Shares.
(c)
Preferred Share Certificate and Book-Entries Exchangeable for Different Denominations and Forms. Each Preferred Share Certificate
is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the applicable Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Preferred Share
Certificate or Preferred Share Certificate(s) or new Book-Entry (in accordance with Section 17(d)) representing, in the aggregate, the
outstanding number of the F-1 Preferred Shares in the original Preferred Share Certificate, and each such new Preferred Share Certificate
and/or new Book-Entry, as applicable, will represent such portion of such outstanding number of Preferred Shares from the original Preferred
Share Certificate as is designated in writing by such Holder at the time of such surrender. Each Book-Entry may be exchanged into one
or more new Preferred Share Certificates or split by the applicable Holder by delivery of a written notice to the Company into two or
more new Book-Entries (in accordance with Section 17(d)) representing, in the aggregate, the outstanding number of the F-1 Preferred
Shares in the original Book-Entry, and each such new Book-Entry and/or new Preferred Share Certificate, as applicable, will represent
such portion of such outstanding number of Preferred Shares from the original Book-Entry as is designated in writing by such Holder at
the time of such surrender.
(d)
Issuance of New Preferred Share Certificate or Book-Entry. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Preferred Share Certificate
or a new Book-Entry pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations, such new Preferred Share Certificate or new Book-Entry
(i) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such Preferred Share Certificate or in such Book-Entry, as applicable, the number of
Preferred Shares remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Preferred Share Certificate or new Book-Entry being issued pursuant to
Section 17(a) or Section 17(c), the number of Preferred Shares designated by such Holder) which, when added to the number of Preferred
Shares represented by the other new Preferred Share Certificates or other new Book-Entry, as applicable, issued in connection with such
issuance, does not exceed the number of Preferred Shares remaining outstanding under the original Preferred Share Certificate or original
Book-Entry, as applicable, immediately prior to such issuance of new Preferred Share Certificate or new Book-Entry, as applicable, and
(ii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Preferred Share Certificate or in such new Book-Entry, as applicable,
which is the same as the issuance date of the original Preferred Share Certificate or in such original Book-Entry, as applicable.
18.
Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations
shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designations and any of the other Transaction
Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall
limit any Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of
this Certificate of Designations. No failure on the part of a Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by such Holder of any right, power or remedy preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. In addition, the exercise of any right or
remedy of a Holder at law or equity or under this Certificate of Designations or any of the documents shall not be deemed to be an election
of such Holder’s rights or remedies under such documents or at law or equity. The Company covenants to each Holder that there shall
be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with
respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by a Holder and shall
not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). No failure
on the part of a Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof;
nor shall any single or partial exercise by such Holder of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. In addition, the exercise of any right or remedy of any Holder at law or equity
or under Preferred Shares or any of the documents shall not be deemed to be an election of such Holder’s rights or remedies under
such documents or at law or equity. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable
harm to the Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event
of any such breach or threatened breach, each Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to specific performance
and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such
case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The Company shall provide all information
and documentation to a Holder that is requested by such Holder to enable such Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the
terms and conditions of this Certificate of Designations.
19.
Payment of Collection, Enforcement and Other Costs. If (a) any Preferred Shares are placed in the hands of an attorney for collection
or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or a Holder otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under
this Certificate of Designations with respect to the F-1 Preferred Shares or to enforce the provisions of this Certificate of Designations
or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors’
rights and involving a claim under this Certificate of Designations, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by such Holder for
such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including,
without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that no amounts due under
this Certificate of Designations with respect to any Preferred Shares shall be affected, or limited, by the fact that the purchase price
paid for each Preferred Share was less than the original Stated Value thereof.
20.
Construction; Headings. This Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holders
and shall not be construed against any such Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Certificate of Designations are for convenience
of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Certificate of Designations. Unless the context clearly
indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof.
The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly
as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof”
and words of like import refer to this entire Certificate of Designations instead of just the provision in which they are found. Unless
expressly indicated otherwise, all section references are to sections of this Certificate of Designations. Terms used in this Certificate
of Designations and not otherwise defined herein, but defined in the other Transaction Documents, shall have the meanings ascribed to
such terms on the Initial Issuance Date in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Required
Holders.
21.
Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude
other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and
signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. This Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by
the Company and all Holders and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
contained in this Section 21 shall permit any waiver of any provision of Section 4(d).
22.

the Company or the applicable Holder (as the case may be) shall submit the dispute to the other party via electronic mail (A) if by the
Company, within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute or (B) if by such Holder
at any time after such Holder learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If such Holder and the Company are unable to
promptly resolve such dispute relating to such Closing Bid Price, such Closing Sale Price, such Conversion Price, such Alternate Conversion
Price, such Black Scholes Consideration Value, such VWAP or such fair market value, or the arithmetic calculation of such Conversion
Rate or such applicable redemption price (as the case may be), at any time after the second (2nd) Business Day following such

with the first sentence of this Section 22 and (B) written documentation supporting its position with respect to such dispute, in each
case, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) by the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following the date on which such
Holder selected such investment bank (the “Dispute Submission Deadline”) (the documents referred to in the immediately
preceding clauses (A) and (B) are collectively referred to herein as the “Required Dispute Documentation”) (it being
understood and agreed that if either such Holder or the Company fails to so deliver all of the Required Dispute Documentation by the
Dispute Submission Deadline, then the party who fails to so submit all of the Required Dispute Documentation shall no longer be entitled
to (and hereby waives its right to) deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank with respect
to such dispute and such investment bank shall resolve such dispute based solely on the Required Dispute Documentation that was delivered
to such investment bank prior to the Dispute Submission Deadline). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both the Company and such
Holder or otherwise requested by such investment bank, neither the Company nor such Holder shall be entitled to deliver or submit any
written documentation or other support to such investment bank in connection with such dispute (other than the Required Dispute Documentation).
(iii)
The Company and such Holder shall cause such investment bank to determine the resolution of such dispute and notify the Company and such
Holder of such resolution no later than ten (10) Business Days immediately following the Dispute Submission Deadline. The fees and expenses
of such investment bank shall be borne solely by the Company, and such investment bank’s resolution of such dispute shall be final
and binding upon all parties absent manifest error.
(b)
Miscellaneous. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Section 22 constitutes an agreement to arbitrate between
the Company and each Holder (and constitutes an arbitration agreement) under the Delaware Uniform Arbitration Act, (ii) the terms of
this Certificate of Designations and each other applicable Transaction Document shall serve as the basis for the selected investment
bank’s resolution of the applicable dispute, such investment bank shall be entitled (and is hereby expressly authorized) to make
all findings, determinations and the like that such investment bank determines are required to be made by such investment bank in connection
with its resolution of such dispute and in resolving such dispute such investment bank shall apply such findings, determinations and
the like to the terms of this Certificate of Designations and any other applicable Transaction Documents, (iii) the applicable Holder
(and only such Holder with respect to disputes solely relating to such Holder), in its sole discretion, shall have the right to submit
any dispute described in this Section 22 to any state or federal court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware in lieu of utilizing the procedures
set forth in this Section 22 and (iv) nothing in this Section 22 shall limit such Holder from obtaining any injunctive relief or other
equitable remedies (including, without limitation, with respect to any matters described in this Section 22).
23.

| (a) | Notices.
The Company shall provide each Holder of Preferred Shares with prompt written notice of all
actions taken pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations, including in reasonable

Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Certificate of Designations,
the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation (it being understood and agreed
that where an amount is calculated with reference to, or over, a period of time, the date of calculation shall be the final date of such

unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, such payment shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer
of immediately available funds pursuant to wire transfer instructions that Holder shall provide to the Company in writing from time to
time. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Certificate of Designations is due on any day which is not a Business

24.
Waiver of Notice. To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby irrevocably waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and
all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Certificate of
Designations and the Securities Purchase Agreement.
25.
Governing Law. This Certificate of Designations shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning
the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Certificate of Designations shall be governed by, the internal laws
of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware
or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein (i) shall be
deemed or operate to preclude any Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction
to collect on the Company’s obligations to such Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations,
or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Holder or (ii) shall limit, or shall be deemed or construed to limit,
any provision of Section 22 above. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY
TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OR ANY TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
26.
Judgment Currency.
(a)
If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Company in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert
into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 26 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”)
an amount due in U.S. dollars under this Certificate of Designations, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on
the Trading Day immediately preceding:
(i)
the date actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any any jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on
such date: or
(ii)
the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of
which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 26(a)(ii) being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).
(b)
If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 26(a)(ii) above, there is a change in the Exchange
Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay
such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate
prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of US dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment
Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.
(c)
Any amount due from the Company under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained
for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Certificate of Designations.
27.
TAXES.
(a)
All payments made by the Company hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be made in accordance with the terms of the
respective Transaction Document and shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, withholding, deduction or other defense. Without limiting
the foregoing, all such payments shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any present or future taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) taxes imposed on the net
income of a Holder by the jurisdiction in which such Holder is organized or where it has its principal lending office, (ii) with respect
to any payments made by the Company hereunder, taxes (including, but not limited to, backup withholding) to the extent such taxes are
imposed due to the failure of the applicable recipient of such payment to provide the Company with whichever (if any) is applicable of
valid and properly completed and executed IRS Forms W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, and/or W-8IMY, when requested in writing by the Company,
and (iii) with respect to any payments made by the Company, taxes to the extent such taxes are imposed due to the failure of the applicable
recipient of such payment to comply with FATCA (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities,
collectively or individually, “Taxes”). If the Company shall be required to deduct or to withhold any Taxes from or
in respect of any amount payable hereunder or under any other Transaction Document:
(i)
the amount so payable shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including
Taxes on amounts payable to a Holder pursuant to this sentence) such Holder receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deduction or withholding been made,
(ii)
the Company shall make such deduction or withholding,
(iii)
the Company shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) in accordance with applicable law, and
(iv)
as promptly as possible thereafter, the Company shall send such Holder an official receipt (or, if an official receipt is not available,
such other documentation as shall be satisfactory to such Holder, as the case may be) showing payment. In addition, the Company agrees
to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from
any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Preferred
Shares or any other Transaction Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).
(b)
The Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold each Holder and each of their affiliates and their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) each Indemnified Party harmless from and against Taxes
or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section
27) paid by any Indemnified Party as a result of any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement
of, or otherwise with respect to, this Preferred Shares or any other Transaction Document, and any liability (including penalties, interest
and expenses for nonpayment, late payment or otherwise) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other
Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be paid within thirty (30) days from the date on which such Holder
makes written demand therefor, which demand shall identify the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes.
(c)
If the Company fails to perform any of its obligations under this Section 27, the Company shall indemnify such Holder for any taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable as a result of any such failure. The obligations of the Company under this Section 27 shall
survive the repayment and/or conversion, as applicable, in full of the F-1 Preferred Shares and all other amounts payable with respect
thereto.
(d)
If any Indemnified Party 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 27 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 27),
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
27 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
(d) (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 (d),
in no event will the Indemnified Party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (d) 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 (d) 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.
28.
Severability. If any provision of this Certificate of Designations is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid
or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall
be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such
provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Certificate of Designations so long as this Certificate of
Designations as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter
hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective
expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred
upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s)
with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
29.
Maximum Payments. Without limiting Section 9(d) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the
event that the rate of interest required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments
in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the applicable Holder and thus refunded to the Company.
30.

all in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the DGCL. This provision is intended to comply with the applicable sections
of the DGCL permitting stockholder action, approval and consent affected by written consent in lieu of a meeting.
(b)

99.1
Aditxt,
Inc. Enters into Definitive Agreement to Acquire Evofem Biosciences, Inc., Creator of Phexxi®, the First and Only FDA-Approved
Hormone-Free Contraceptive Gel, to Address Diverse Reproductive Health Needs of Women Globally
Evofem
posted $13.4 million in net sales of Phexxi for the first nine months of 2023;
Aditxt
looks to accelerate Evofem into the global non-hormonal birth control market valued at $27.7 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow
to $52.2 billion by 2031
RICHMOND,
VA and SAN DIEGO, CA, December 12, 2023 – Aditxt, Inc. (“Aditxt” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:
ADTX), a company dedicated to discovering, developing, and deploying promising health innovations, and Evofem Biosciences, Inc. (“Evofem”)
(OTCQB: EVFM), a pioneer in women’s health, today announced the signing of a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”)
under which Aditxt is to acquire Evofem in consideration of the issuance of a combination of common stock and preferred stock, and the
assumption of certain senior indebtedness, having an aggregate amount of approximately $100 million (the “Transaction”).
Pending a successful Transaction, it will also mark the establishment of a women’s health mission within Aditxt’s platform,
aligning with global healthcare needs.
Revolutionizing
Women’s Reproductive Health with Phexxi®
Evofem
is a commercial-stage women’s health company with a strong focus on innovation. Evofem is the creator of the first and only FDA-approved
hormone-free contraceptive gel, Phexxi® (lactic acid, citric acid, and potassium bitartrate). Phexxi® empowers
women with a convenient, discreet, and flexible contraception method, putting control in their hands. By allowing on-demand usage within
one hour before intercourse, Phexxi® addresses a critical need in the United States and global contraception market, offering
women greater autonomy over their reproductive health decisions.
Phexxi®
represents a groundbreaking shift in women’s healthcare, offering a non-daily, hormone-free contraceptive choice for the
23 million women who need alternatives to traditional methods in the United States alone. Like male contraception, female contraception
should be adaptable to personal needs – not a daily burden, irrespective of actual necessity. This innovation not only challenges
the decades-long norm of daily hormonal contraception but empowers women with more personalized healthcare choices. Phexxi®
is a testament to the urgent need for more focused innovation in women’s health, ensuring choices are made for their benefit,
not by chance or default.
Aditxt
Unlocking Evofem’s Global Potential for Non-Hormonal Contraception
The
global need for effective family planning is evident, with nearly 1.1 billion women worldwide desiring contraception, according
to the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs. This demand is mirrored in the significant market growth projections for non-hormonal
birth control; Growth Plus Reports highlights an increase from $27.7 billion in 2022 to $52.2 billion by 2031. The success of
Phexxi® in the U.S., with an 82% approval rate for claims and escalating sales, reflects this rising demand. With Aditxt’s
acquisition of Evofem, there is an opportunity to leverage this momentum, access untapped markets, and potentially capture a significant
global market share. This move is poised to meet commercial objectives and address a crucial aspect of women’s healthcare. The
power to decide when to have a family should rest firmly in each woman’s hands, aligning with her life choices and aspirations
and thus playing a crucial role in shaping her economic and social future.
Furthermore,
Evofem’s consistent sales growth aligns with the rising demand for innovative contraceptive solutions. The post-acquisition integration
into the Aditxt platform will strengthen Evofem’s ability to enter global markets through organic expansion, product acquisitions,
and licensing agreements, positioning it to capture a substantial market share and address crucial women’s healthcare needs globally.
Aditxt
– A Platform for Accelerating Promising Innovations
As
a company focused on discovering, developing, and deploying promising health innovations, Aditxt offers a dynamic environment dedicated
to helping ground-breaking innovations thrive. As a public company with global stakeholders, Aditxt aims to engage society in supporting
innovations addressing autoimmunity, health by the numbers, life-extending transplant technologies, population health, and now, with
the proposed Evofem acquisition, women’s health, rendering its collaborative ecosystem a powerful tool for realizing the full potential
of each subsidiary.
Amro
Albanna, co-Founder, chairman, and CEO of Aditxt, shared his insights on this announcement: “At Aditxt, our mission is to make
promising innovations possible together. Evofem represents precisely the kind of groundbreaking innovation that aligns with our mission.
Aditxt will provide Evofem with a global platform to amplify their transformative innovation in women’s health. As we move forward,
we aim to empower our shareholders to participate in this journey through their votes. This approach ensures that our stakeholders are
integral in advancing these vital health innovations on the Aditxt platform, truly socializing how health innovations advance and impact
lives worldwide.”
“We
are excited about the opportunity to accelerate our growth trajectory, as a subsidiary of Aditxt, into a multi-product women’s
health franchise,” said Evofem’s CEO, Saundra Pelletier. “We believe this Transaction is in the best interests
of our shareholders and are confident that they and the women we serve will benefit from our expanded offering and stronger voice.”
Details
of the Proposed Transaction
The
Transaction is intended to create significant strategic advantages for both companies. Evofem’s growing revenue base may allow
Aditxt to catalyze future growth by leveraging synergies by and amongst Evofem, Aditxt, and Aditxt’s other subsidiaries. The boards
of directors of both companies have unanimously approved the Transaction.
Aditxt
has assumed Evofem’s senior secured debt that was issued to the investor under the Securities Purchase and Security Agreement
dated April 2020, as amended, and shall pay $5.0 million to Evofem’s senior secured debtholder by year-end 2023, $8.0
million by September 2024, and up to an additional $5 million thereafter.
Aditxt
has also agreed to provide a $3.0 million loan to Evofem between the date of signing of the Agreement and closing and to cover Evofem’s
legal costs related to the Transaction. At closing, the holders of Evofem’s common stock will exchange their shares for an aggregate
of 610,000 shares of Aditxt common stock. In addition, Aditxt has agreed to issue up to an aggregate of 89,126 shares of preferred stock
to the holders of Evofem’s currently outstanding unsecured notes, purchase rights, certain warrants, and preferred stock. Upon
closing of the Transaction, which is currently anticipated to occur in the first half of 2024, Evofem will be a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Aditxt, with the Evofem management team to receive equity grants in the subsidiary of up to ten percent on a fully
diluted basis after closing, and will continue to be led by Saundra Pelletier, Chief Executive Officer of Evofem, and the current
management team.
The
boards of directors of Aditxt and Evofem have unanimously approved the proposed transaction. The Transaction is subject to, among
other things, the approval of both Aditxt and Evofem stockholders and satisfaction or waiver of the conditions stated in the Agreement.
The
description of the business combination contained herein is only a high-level summary. Additional information about the proposed Transaction,
including a copy of the business combination agreement, will be provided in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by Aditxt with
