“Fifth Amendment” means the Fifth Amendment to Master Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2023, by and among the Company, certain of its Subsidiaries, Purchaser and the Collateral Agent.

“Offering Closing Date” means the date on which the Offering closes.

“Offering Price” means the public offering price per share at which the shares of the Company’s common stock and accompanying Public Offering Warrants are sold to the public in the Offering, which price, for the avoidance of doubt, does not give effect to placement agent fees or other expenses of the Offering.

“Placement Agent” means collectively Roth Capital Partners, LLC, and any other placement agent or agents that may supplement or replace Roth Capital Partners, LLC as placement agent for the Offering.

“Private Placement” means the purchase by Purchaser from the Company, in a private placement not registered under the Securities Act and exempt from such registration requirements, of the Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants, for a total purchase price equal to (x) $11,000,000 minus (y) the aggregate exercise price of the Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrants.

“Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrants” means the pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued and sold by the Company to Purchaser in the Private Placement, which warrants shall be substantially identical (including as to purchase price, exercise price of the warrants, number of warrant shares and terms of the warrants, including price reset and anti-dilution provisions) to the Public Offering Pre-Funded Warrants, except as set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.4 of this Amendment.

“Stockholder Approval” means the approval by the Company’s stockholders, in accordance with the Listing Rules, of (A) the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of (x) the Public Offering Warrants and the Public Offering Pre-Funded Warrants sold in the Offering and (y) the Private Placement Securities that, in the aggregate for clauses (x) and (y) above, are in excess of the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock permitted to be issued without such approval under the Listing Rules (which amount is equal to 19.99% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately following the Notes Conversion and immediately prior to the closing of the Offering and/or the Private Placement), (B) the amendment of Section 3.2(A) of each of the Surviving Notes, (C) the elimination of Section 8.3 of the Second Amendment and (D) any other terms of the Offering, the Private Placement and/or this Amendment that require approval of the Company’s stockholders under the Listing Rules.

2.    Qualified Financing. The definition of “Qualified Financing” is hereby amended to replace the “$10,000,000” set forth therein with “$8,000,000.”

3.    Partial Conversion of Notes.

3.1    If the Offering constitutes a Qualified Financing, subject to the occurrence of the Closing Readiness Event, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, hereby irrevocably agrees to convert into shares of the Company’s common stock an aggregate amount outstanding under the Notes equal to (x) the entire aggregate principal amount of all the Notes outstanding as of the Offering Closing Date, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (y) minus (y) $7,000,000 minus (z) the aggregate principal amount of Notes purchased with Escrowed Funds prior to the closing of the Offering in accordance with the terms of the Existing Agreement and the Notes, if any (the “Notes Conversion,” and the amount so converted, the “Notes Conversion Amount”). The Notes Conversion shall be effected in accordance with the terms of the Existing Agreement and the Notes, as modified by Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 of this Amendment and shall be effective immediately prior to the closing of the Offering on the Offering Closing Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, before any shares of the Company’s common stock are issued in the Offering); provided, that, if the Offering does not close on the same day as the Notes Conversion, the Notes Conversion shall be deemed not to have occurred and all the Notes converted in the Notes Conversion shall remain outstanding and the Company shall withdraw any instruction letter to the transfer agent with respect to

the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock in respect of the Notes Conversion, and to the extent any such shares are issued before the Company effects such withdrawal, Purchaser shall return or instruct the transfer agent to cancel such shares in the transfer agent’s books and records. Upon execution of this Amendment, Purchaser shall provide to the Company’s counsel executed notices of conversion for all outstanding Notes, each in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with the conversion amounts left blank (the “Blank Conversion Notices”), which notices of conversion shall be held in escrow by such counsel in accordance with the terms of this Amendment. If any Escrow Funds are used to purchase Notes following the date of this Amendment, Purchaser shall provide to the Company’s counsel a Blank Conversion Notice for each such Note purchased promptly following such purchase. At any time prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Offering Closing Date (such time, the “Notes Selection Deadline”), Purchaser may select which Notes or portions thereof shall convert in the Notes Conversion (the Notes or portions thereof converted in the Notes Conversion, whether selected by Purchaser or pursuant to the Company Completed Conversion Notices, the “Converted Notes”) by delivering to the Company’s counsel executed notices of conversion with completed amounts to be converted totaling the Notes Conversion Amount as of the Offering Closing Date (the “Purchaser Completed Conversion Notices”) and, upon receipt thereof, the Company’s counsel shall destroy the Blank Conversion Notices. The Purchaser Completed Conversion Notices must elect for payment of accrued and unpaid interest outstanding under the Converted Notes as of the Offering Closing Date in shares of the Company’s common stock, which interest shall then be included in the Notes Conversion Amount. If (x) the Closing Readiness Event has occurred and (y) the Company’s counsel has not received the Purchaser Completed Conversion Notices by the Notes Selection Deadline, then the Company may instruct the Company’s counsel to complete the Blank Conversion Notices such that the total amount to be converted equals the Notes Conversion Amount as of the Offering Closing Date (as so completed, the “Company Completed Conversion Notices”), and Purchaser hereby consents to such completion of the Blank Conversion Notices by the Company’s counsel upon the Company’s instructions. The Company’s counsel shall not release either the Purchaser Completed Conversion Notices or the Company Completed Conversion Notices, as applicable, to the Company prior to the Offering Closing Date, and, subject to the occurrence of the Closing Readiness Event, the Company’s counsel is hereby instructed by Purchaser to release the Purchaser Completed Conversion Notices or the Company Completed Conversion Notices, as applicable, to the Company immediately prior to the closing of the Offering on the Offering Closing Date. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.7(e) of the Appendix (Exhibit A) to the Existing Agreement or any other provision of the Note Documents, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the Converted Notes in cash in connection with the Notes Conversion.

3.2    The parties hereto agree that for administrative convenience and to avoid multiple issuances of the Company’s common stock on the same day, Section 8.3 of the Second Amendment shall not apply to the Notes Conversion because it would not have applied if such conversion, the Offering and the Private Placement had occurred simultaneously, and because Purchaser will not receive pursuant to the Notes Conversion in accordance with this Amendment any additional shares of the Company’s common stock than it would have received pursuant to such conversion in that case.

3.3    The Notes converted in the Notes Conversion shall convert at the Conversion Price set forth in the Existing Agreement; provided that, if the Offering Price is lower than the Conversion Price, then, effective on the earliest date on which the corporate actions approved by Stockholder Approval may be taken under applicable law, including Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act (such earliest date, the “Stockholder Approval Effectiveness Date”), Purchaser shall be issued additional shares of the Company’s common stock such that the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued in respect of the Notes Conversion, giving effect to such additional shares, shall be the number of shares that would have been issued in respect of the Notes Conversion if the Conversion Price was equal to the Offering Price.

3.4    In connection with the Notes Conversion, the Company shall issue to Purchaser a warrant to purchase shares of common stock (the “Conversion Warrant”) in accordance with the terms of the Existing Agreement; provided that, if the Offering Price is lower than the Conversion Price, then, effective on the Stockholder Approval Effectiveness Date, the exercise price of the Conversion Warrant shall be reduced to the Offering Price and the number of shares of the Company’s common stock initially issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Warrant shall be increased to the number of shares of common stock that would have been initially issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Warrant if the Converted Notes were converted at a conversion price equal to the Offering Price.

3.5    The Conversion Letter shall not come into effect and is therefore deemed void ab initio.

4.    Private Placement.

4.1    In lieu of the provisions set forth in the Fourth Amendment concerning investment of Escrowed Funds in the Offering, if the Offering constitutes a Qualified Financing, the Company and Purchaser shall immediately prior to, or simultaneously with (in the discretion of the Company after consultation with Purchaser),

the closing of the Offering, consummate the Private Placement. The consideration for the Private Placement Securities purchased by Purchaser shall consist of (a) the Escrowed Funds then held in the Escrow Account and (b) a reduction of the aggregate amounts outstanding under the Notes (after giving effect to the Notes Conversion) to $2,000,000. Such reduction shall be deemed a prepayment of principal amounts owed under the Notes and any associated accrued and unpaid interest that would be payable in accordance with Section 2.7(e) of the Appendix (Exhibit A) to the Existing Agreement, and shall be applied to outstanding Notes as directed by Purchaser (which directions will be deemed an amendment to Section 2.14 of the Appendix (Exhibit A) to the Existing Agreement), or in the absence of instructions from the Purchaser prior to the Closing Readiness Event, in accordance with Section 2.14 of the Appendix (Exhibit A) to the Existing Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, immediately following the Notes Conversion and the consummation of the Private Placement, the aggregate outstanding balance of all the Notes then outstanding shall be $2,000,000, inclusive of principal and associated accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the Note(s) that represents such $2,000,000, the “Surviving Notes”). All provisions of the Existing Agreement shall apply to the Surviving Notes, except for those provisions expressly modified in Sections 6.3 through 6.5 of this Amendment. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.7(e) of the Appendix (Exhibit A) to the Existing Agreement or any other provision of the Note Documents, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay any accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of any outstanding Notes in cash to Purchaser in connection with application of the amounts owed under the Notes toward the purchase price of the Private Placement Securities.

4.2    All Private Placement Securities shall have registration rights equivalent to the registration rights provided in the most recent form of warrant attached as an exhibit to the Existing Agreement.

4.3    For the avoidance of doubt, effective on the Stockholder Approval Effectiveness Date, Section 8.3 of the Second Amendment shall not apply to any exercise of the Private Placement Securities.

4.4    The Company and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith the forms of the Private Placement Securities, which terms shall differ from the Public Offering Warrants and Public Offering Pre-Funded Warrants only as necessary to reflect the terms of Section 4.2 of this Amendment, the nature of such warrants as warrants issued in a private placement rather than a registered offering under the Securities Act, and that the Private Placement Securities will not have beneficial ownership below any specified level as a condition to exercisability.

4.5    The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the equity securities being offered and sold by the Company in the Private Placement and under this Amendment (except to the extent already covered by a previously filed Form D) as required under Regulation D under the Securities Act and to provide a copy thereof to Purchaser promptly upon request. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify such securities for, sale to Purchaser under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions to Purchaser promptly upon request.

5.    Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the securities being offered and sold by the Company under this Amendment and in the Private Placement may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, which dilution may be substantial. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Note Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares, the Warrant Shares and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, are unconditional and absolute (except to the extent expressly subject to Stockholder Approval) and are not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.

6.    Other Amendments to the Existing Agreement.

6.1    Section 2.2(e) of the Fourth Amendment is hereby deleted and replaced with the text “Intentionally Deleted”.

6.2    The reference to “October 31, 2023” in Section 2.2(i) of the Fourth Amendment is hereby replaced with “January 31, 2024.”

6.3    Effective upon the Notes Conversion, the definition of “Notes Maturity Date” in the Existing Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: “Notes Maturity Date” means the earlier of (i) the date that is two years and six months after the closing date of the Offering (as such term is defined in the Fifth Amendment) and (ii) the date that the Surviving Notes (as such term is defined in the Fifth Amendment) shall become due and payable in full hereunder, whether by acceleration or otherwise.”

6.4    The Surviving Notes shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the terms set forth therein and in the Existing Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Existing Agreement, in the Form of Senior Secured Convertible Note attached as Exhibit A to the Third Amendment or in the related letter agreement, dated February 20, 2023, between the Company and Purchaser, if the Offering Price is lower than $0.90, then, effective on the Stockholder Approval Effectiveness Date, each of the Surviving Notes shall be deemed to have been amended to delete Sections 3.2(A) and 3.2(B) thereof in its entirety and replace it with the following:

“(A)    The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to the lesser of (i) $2.40, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 3.2(B), and (ii) the greater of (a) the consolidated closing bid price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the Exchange on the Trading Day that is immediately prior to the applicable Conversion Date and (b) the Offering Price (as such term is defined in the Fifth Amendment), subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 3.2(B) (the “Conversion Price”).

(B)    If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of its common stock on its outstanding shares of common stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of common stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) its outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of its shares of common stock, any shares of the Company, then, for the purpose of determining the Conversion Price in accordance with Section 3.2(A), the dollar amount in clause (i) of Section 3.2(A) and the amount of the Offering Price referred to in clause (ii) of Section 3.2(A) shall be multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of the Company’s common stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment made pursuant to clauses (ii) through (iv) of this Section shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, combination or re-classification, as applicable.”

6.5    Effective on the Stockholder Approval Effectiveness Date, Section 8.3 of the Second Amendment shall be deleted and replaced with the text “Intentionally Deleted”.

7.    Stockholder Approval.

7.1    The Company hereby agrees to seek the Stockholder Approval. As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Amendment, the Company shall file a preliminary information statement related to the Stockholder Approval, and the Company shall thereafter mail a definitive information statement to the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the rules of the SEC. If for any reason the Company cannot obtain Stockholder Approval via written consent as contemplated by the Support Agreement (including any objection to such process by the staff of the Exchange), the Company shall call a special meeting of stockholders (the “Stockholder Meeting”) at the earliest practical date following the determination that Stockholder Approval by written consent is not feasible, and the Company shall file a preliminary and definitive proxy statement for the Stockholder Meeting as promptly as practicable thereafter and shall hold the Stockholder Meeting for the purpose of obtaining Stockholder Approval, with the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors to the Company’s stockholders that such stockholders vote in favor of the matters contemplated by the Stockholder Approval, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its stockholders in connection therewith in the same manner as the Company has historically solicited proxies at its annual meetings of stockholders for management proposals in such proxy statements, and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such matters. In accordance with the Company’s bylaws and the Listing Rules, the voting standard at the Stockholder Meeting for the proposals to approve the matters contemplated by the Stockholder Approval will be the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter. Further and in accordance with the Listing Rules, Purchaser and its Affiliates will be permitted to vote all shares of the Company’s common stock owned by them as of the record date for the Stockholder Meeting at such meeting on the matters contemplated by the Stockholder Approval.

7.2    The Company shall further be obligated to Purchaser to perform all covenants provided to purchasers in the Offering related to Stockholder Approval as if such covenants were included in this Amendment mutatis mutandis.

7.3    Simultaneously with executing and delivering this Amendment, Purchaser has executed and delivered to the Company the Support Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B.

8.    Security. Each Note Party expressly acknowledges and agrees that all collateral, security interests, liens, pledges and mortgages granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in connection with the Existing Agreement, this Amendment, or hereafter granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and all other supplements to the Existing Agreement or any other Note Document, shall extend to and cover all of the Obligations of the Note Parties to Purchasers, now existing or hereafter arising, including, without limitation, those arising in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, and the Surviving Notes, upon the terms set forth in such agreements, and all of such security interests, liens, pledges, and mortgages are hereby ratified, reaffirmed, confirmed and approved. Each Note Party hereby restates, ratifies and reaffirms each and every term and condition set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby, and the other Note Documents, effective as of the date hereof, including, without limitation, the grant of security interests and liens by the Company and the other Note Parties under the Collateral Documents and confirms and agrees that such security interests and liens hereafter secure all of the Obligations as amended hereby. The validity and enforceability of any appointment of the Collateral Agent as proxy or attorney-in-fact under any Collateral Document is ratified and reaffirmed as of the date hereof, which appointment remains IRREVOCABLE and coupled with an interest until the Payment in Full of all Secured Obligations, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the Collateral Documents, in accordance with the terms of, and to the extent provided in, such Collateral Documents.

9.    Representations and Warranties. Each Note Party represents and warrants to Purchaser and the Collateral Agent as follows:
