February 13, 2023

By email:

Dear ___________________:

You are being sent this letter (this “Letter Agreement”) in connection with your participation in the Company’s June 2022 private placement offering (the “Private Placement Offering”) whereby the Company sold to you pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated June 10, 2022 (the “SPA”) certain 10.0% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) and warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase common stock of the Company. In connection with the Offering (as defined and described below), you are being asked to amend certain provisions included in the SPA and Debentures and exchange your Warrants for common stock of the Company as further described below. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the SPA, Debentures, and Warrants as applicable.

Our Planned Offering

As you are aware, the Company is in the process of pursuing Nasdaq approval of the listing of its planned “re-IPO” (the “Offering”) for which Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC is acting as the sole book running manager. To date, the Company is currently seeking to determine specific size of the Offering to facilitate final approval from Nasdaq for listing and final filings for SEC effectiveness, and as such, the information you will provide below is critical.

Items Affecting your Investment

ITEM 1: Section 4(e) of the Debenture provides that upon the consummation of a Qualified Offering (which the Offering shall constitute), the outstanding principal balance of your Debenture, along with any unpaid accrued interest and all other amounts due in respect of the Debenture (the “Obligations”) will automatically be converted on the closing date of such Qualified Offering, into shares of Common Stock (or units of Common Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock, if units are offered to the public in the Qualified Offering) at the Qualified Offering Conversion Price (i.e., the lesser of lesser of (i) $0.25 per share or (ii) 70% of the Qualified Offering Price (hereinafter the “Mandatory Conversion”).

Pursuant to this Letter Agreement and in order to facilitate the Offering, the Company is asking you to amend Section 4(e) of the Debenture to provide that upon consummation of a Qualified Offering, the Obligations will automatically be converted, with no further action on your part, into _______ shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares” (or units consisting of _______ shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase _______ shares of Common Stock, if units are offered to the public in the Qualified Offering, the “Conversion Securities”)) as outlined in the Amendment No. 1 to Debenture attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Debenture Amendment”). As you will see in the Debenture Amendment, we are calculating accrued interest through February 15, 2022 in determining the total number of Conversion Securities to be issued to you upon the Mandatory Conversion.

ITEM 2: Section 4(e) of the Debenture also provides for a Qualified Offering Redemption Option payable in cash pursuant to which you can redeem up to 45% of the principal amount of your Debenture, together with accrued interest, but excluding the 10% original issue discount, which if elected by a holder, would be payable within five days following the closing of the Qualified Offering. Pursuant to this Letter Agreement, the Company is asking you (i) to reduce your Qualified Offering Redemption Option to be no more than 40% of the principal amount of your Debenture (the “Reduced Redemption Option Percentage”), together with accrued interest, but excluding the 10% original issue discount” (“Reduced Qualified Offering Redemption Option Amount”) which is covered in the Debenture Amendment and (ii) to receive a Pre-Funded Warrant (defined below) in lieu of any cash payment required to be made to you by the Company pursuant to the Qualified Offering Redemption Option. Pursuant to recent discussions between you and your Joseph Gunnar account representative, you have indicated that you will elect a Reduced Redemption Option Percentage of 40% and that is reflected in the Debenture Amendment.

What We Are Offering

In consideration for your execution of the Debenture Amendment (specifically, you agree to the Reduced Redemption Option Percentage reflected above), the Company will agree, pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Warrant (the “Warrant Amendment”) annexed hereto as Exhibit B, and upon the closing of the Offering, to reduce the exercise price of your Warrants to purchase ______ shares of our common stock that were issued to you in the Private Placement to $0.001. The Company will then register the shares of common stock comprising the Conversion Securities (both _______ shares of common stock and _______ shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants included in the Units sold in the Offering), the Pre-Funded Warrants (as defined below), as well as the shares underlying the Warrants, in the Offering. For avoidance of doubt, the Warrant Amendment is effective only upon consummation of a Qualified Offering.

Additionally, in consideration for your execution of the Debenture Amendment, the Company will agree that at the closing of the Offering, it will issue you a pre-funded warrant (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”) in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C with an exercise price of $0.01 to purchase _______ shares of our common stock.

Further, Section 4.21 of the SPA provides you with certain participation rights in connection with a Subsequent Financing by the Company. Pursuant to this Letter Agreement, the Company is agreeing to amend Section 4.21(a) of the SPA to provide that your right to participate in a Subsequent Financing will now extend for a period ending thirty-six (36) months following the consummation of a Qualified Offering as outlined in the SPA amendment attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “SPA Amendment”).
