1. Definitions and Interpretation

1.1 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the SEPA, as applicable.

2. Pre-Advance Loan Closing

2.1 Pre-Advance Loans. Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 below, and with respect to the Second Closing and Third Closing (each as defined below), the mutual consent of the parties hereto, the Company shall issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor shall purchase from the Company, a Promissory Note with a principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Principal Amount”) (or such other Principal Amount as may be agreed by the parties) for a purchase price equal to 98% of the Principal Amount (the “Purchase Price”) on each of three closings (each, a “Closing”), of which the first Closing (the “First Closing”) shall take place on the date hereof (the “First Closing Date”), the second Closing (the “Second Closing”) shall take place on the third Trading Day following the date on which the Promissory Note issued pursuant to the First Closing has been fully repaid or converted (or such other date as is mutually agreed to by the Company and the Investor, and such date, the “Second Closing Date”), and the third Closing (the “Third Closing”) shall take place on or before the third Trading Day following the date on which the Promissory Note issued at the Second Closing has been fully repaid or converted (or such other date as is mutually agreed to by the Company and the Investor, and such date, the “Third Closing Date”, and each of the First Closing Date, the Second Closing Date, or the Third Closing Date, a “Closing Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor shall have no obligation to complete any Closing after March 1, 2023, and while this Agreement provides the framework for three Closings, neither party shall have any obligation to complete the Second Closing or the Third Closing, unless mutually agreed. Each Closing of the issuance and sale of the Promissory Note shall occur at the offices Yorkville Advisors Global, LP, 1012 Springfield Avenue, Mountainside, NJ 07092.

2.2 Form of Payment. Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of the this Agreement, on each of the First Closing Date, the Second Closing Date, and the Third Closing Date (i) the Investor shall deliver to the Company the Purchase Price of the Promissory Note to be issued and sold to the Investor on such Closing in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company in writing and transmit notification to the Company that such funds transfer has been requested, and (ii) the Company shall deliver to the Investor, the Promissory Note to be issued at such Closing duly executed on behalf of the Company in the Principal Amount.

3. Supplemental Agreements to the SEPA.

3.1 Investor Advance Notices. At any time during the Commitment Period, provided that there is an outstanding balance owed under a Promissory Note, the Investor may, by providing written notice to the Company in the form set forth herein as Exhibit B (an “Investor Notice”), require the Company to deliver an Advance Notice to the Investor in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) The Investor shall, in each Investor Notice, select the amount of the Advance, in its sole discretion, and the timing of delivery; provided that the amount of the Advance shall not exceed (i) the outstanding balance owed under the Promissory Notes on the date of delivery of the Investor Notice, or (ii) the amount that would cause the aggregate number of Common Shares beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) by the Investor and its Affiliates as a result of previous issuances and sales of Common Shares to Investor under this Agreement and the SEPA to exceed 9.99% of the then outstanding Common Shares (the “Ownership Limitation”). In connection with each Investor Notice delivered by the Investor, any portion of the Advance that would (i) cause the Investor to exceed the Ownership Limitation or (ii) cause the aggregate number of Shares issued and sold to the Investor hereunder to exceed the Commitment Amount shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company, and such Investor Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the amount of the Advance requested by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion; provided that in the event of any such automatic withdrawal and automatic modification, the Investor will promptly notify the Company of such event.

(b) The Purchase Price of the Shares in respect of any Advance Notice delivered pursuant to an Investor Notice shall be equal to the Conversion Price (as defined in the Promissory Notes) in effect on the date of delivery of the Investor Notice.

(c) Investor Notices shall be delivered in accordance with the instructions set forth at the bottom of Exhibit B. An Investor Notice shall be deemed delivered on the day it is received by the Company.

(d) Upon the deemed delivery of an Investor Notice in accordance with Section 3.1(c) above, a corresponding Advance Notice shall simultaneously be deemed to have been delivered by the Company to the Investor, and any conditions precedent to such Advance Notice under the terms of the SEPA that have not been satisfied shall be deemed to have been waived by the Investor.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if on any day that an Investor Notice is delivered (i) the Company notifies the Investor that a Material Outside Event has occurred, or (ii) the Company notifies the Investor of a Black Out Period, the parties agree that such Investor Notice shall be automatically withdrawn.

3.2 Closings of an Advance Notice delivered pursuant to an Investor Notice.

(a) In respect of an Advance Notice deemed to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 above, the Advance Date shall be the date that the Advance Notice is deemed to be delivered.

(b) In respect of an Advance Notice deemed to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 above, the Investor shall pay the aggregate purchase price of the Shares (as set forth in the Settlement Document) by offsetting the amount of the aggregate purchase price of the Shares to be paid by the Investor against an equal amount outstanding under a Promissory Note (first towards accrued and unpaid interest, and then towards outstanding principal, with no deduction for any Payment Premium, as defined in the Promissory Note).

(c) The closing of each Advance Notice deemed to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 above and issuance of Shares related to such Advance Notice (each, an “Advance Notice Closing”) shall take place as soon as practicable on or after each Advance Date in accordance with the procedures set forth below. In connection with each Advance Notice Closing, the Company and the Investor shall fulfill each of its obligations as set forth below:

(i) On each Advance Date, the Investor shall deliver to the Company a written document, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (each a “Settlement Document”), setting forth the number of Shares to be purchased by the Investor, the applicable Conversion Price, the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on the Promissory Note as of the Advance Date that shall be offset by the issuance of Shares, the aggregate principal amount of the Promissory Note as of the Advance Date that shall be offset by the issuance of Shares and the total principal amount of the Promissory Note that shall be outstanding following the Advance Notice Closing.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of the Settlement Document with respect to each Advance (and, in any event, not later than two Trading Days after such receipt), the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer such number of Shares to be purchased by the Investor (as set forth in the Settlement Document) by crediting the Investor’s account or its designee’s account at the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, and transmit notification to the Investor that such share transfer has been requested. No fractional shares shall be issued, and any fractional amounts shall be rounded to the next higher whole number of shares. To facilitate the transfer of the Shares by the Investor, the Shares will not bear any restrictive legends so long as there is an effective Registration Statement covering the issuance and resale of such Shares (it being understood and agreed by the Investor that notwithstanding the lack of restrictive legends, the Investor may only sell such Shares in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act (including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements) or pursuant to an available exemption).

(iii) On or prior to each Advance Date, each of the Company and the Investor shall deliver to the other all documents, instruments and writings expressly required to be delivered by either of them pursuant to this Agreement or the SEPA in order to implement and effect the transactions contemplated herein.
