(a)Effective as of the Forbearance Effective Date, each Consenting Purchaser (constituting all Purchasers under the Securities Purchase Agreement) agrees that until the expiration of the Forbearance Period, it will forbear from exercising its rights and remedies, and hereby instructs the Designated Agent to forbear from exercising rights and remedies and from otherwise taking any enforcement action, against the Company or any other Loan Party solely with respect to the Specified Defaults, including, but not limited to, the commencement of a lawsuit, exercising rights under any Account Control Agreements, and/or enforcement proceedings or other action against the Company and/or the other Loan Parties, in each case solely with respect to the Specified Defaults; provided, however, that (i) the Company and each other Loan Party shall comply with all limitations, restrictions or prohibitions that would otherwise be effective or applicable under the Securities Purchase Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents upon the occurrence or during the continuance of any Event of Default, and (ii) nothing herein shall restrict, impair or otherwise affect any Purchaser’s rights and remedies (other than any such rights and remedies against the Loan Parties as and to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement) under any agreements, including, without limitation, any agreement containing subordination provisions in favor of any or all of the Purchasers (including, without limitation, any rights or remedies available to the Purchasers as a result of the occurrence or continuation of any Specified Default) or amend or modify any provision thereof.
As used herein, the term “Forbearance Period” shall mean the period from the Forbearance Effective Date to the date on which a Forbearance Termination Event first occurs, and the term “Forbearance Termination Event” shall mean the earliest of:
(1) the first date after December 31, 2022 on which the Company’s total cash falls below $1,000,000,
3
(2) the occurrence of any Event of Default, other than the Specified Defaults,
(3) the failure of any Loan Party to timely comply with any term or agreement set forth in this Agreement in any material respect,
(4) an acceleration by the requisite purchasers or investors, as applicable, under and in accordance with Other Note Agreements, as applicable,
(5) the date that the Company enters into any forbearance or similar agreement with the purchasers or investors, as applicable, under any Other Note Agreement solely to the extent such forbearance or similar agreement requires the Company to make any payment to such purchasers or investors in cash (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) permitted payment of regularly scheduled principal and interest and reimbursement of fees and expenses in the ordinary course of business, (ii) the forbearance agreement entered into with Adjuvant on the date hereof and the Exchange Agreements), or
(6) the date that the Company first challenges the validity or enforceability of the actions contemplated under this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the rights of the Purchasers or the Designated Agent under the Securities Purchase Agreement (and the ancillary agreements thereunder) or the Warrants (defined below). For the avoidance of doubt, the Secured Obligations are not impaired, reduced or affected by this Agreement and continue in full force and effect.
(b)Upon the expiration of the Forbearance Period, the agreement of the Purchasers hereunder to forbear from exercising their respective rights and remedies (and to cause the Designated Agent to forbear from exercising rights and remedies on behalf of the Purchasers) in respect of the Specified Defaults shall immediately terminate without the requirement of any demand, presentment, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which the Company and the other Loan Parties each waives. The Company agrees that any or all of the Purchasers may at any time after the expiration of the Forbearance Period proceed to exercise any and all of their respective rights and remedies under any or all of the Securities Purchase Agreement, any other Transaction Document and/or applicable law, including, without limitation, their respective rights and remedies with respect to the Specified Defaults (including as set forth in Section 5.7(b) of the Securities Purchase Agreement). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the expiration of the Forbearance Period, the Purchasers may, in their sole discretion and without the requirement of any demand, presentment, protest, or notice of any kind, (i) commence any legal or other action to collect any or all of the Secured Obligations from the Company, any other Loan Party or any Collateral, (ii) foreclose or otherwise realize on any or all of the Collateral and/or appropriate, setoff or apply to the payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations, any or all of the Collateral, and (iii) take any other enforcement action or otherwise exercise any or all rights and remedies provided for by any or all of the Securities Purchase Agreement, any other Transaction Documents and/or applicable law, all of which rights and remedies are fully reserved by the Purchasers.
(c)The Company acknowledges that the Purchasers have not made any assurances concerning (i) any possibility of an extension of the Forbearance Period, (ii) the manner in which or whether the Specified Defaults may be resolved or (iii) any additional forbearance, waiver, restructuring or other accommodation.
(d)In consideration of the agreements of the Designated Agent and the Consenting Purchasers to forbear as further set forth herein, (i) the Interest Payments shall be deemed to have been paid in kind and added to the Outstanding Balance as of each applicable payment date and (ii) $60,000 of out-of-pocket expenses of the Purchasers (the “Accrued Expenses”) shall be deemed to have been paid by adding the amount of such Accrued Expenses to the Outstanding Balance on the Forbearance Effective Date.

SECTION 6.Conditions to Agreement. The agreement to forbear and the amendments set forth herein (including the effectiveness of the Ancillary Agreements) are subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or prior to the Forbearance Effective Date:
(a)the Designated Agent shall have received a counterpart signature page of this Agreement and the SPA Amendment, duly executed and delivered by the Company and each other Loan Party and Purchasers constituting all Purchasers under the Securities Purchase Agreement;
(b) the Company and the requisite parties thereto shall have entered into the Exchange Agreements; and
(c)the Forbearance Agreement, dated September 15, 2022, by and among the Company, the guarantors thereto, the Adjuvant Purchasers, and the Designated Agent, shall be duly executed by all parties.
SECTION 7.Adjustments to the Outstanding Balance.
(a)In consideration for: (i) the agreement by the Purchasers to forbear during the Forbearance Period, and (ii) the entry into the Ancillary Agreements by the Purchasers and the resulting forfeiture of certain rights currently existing under the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Warrants, the principal amount of the Outstanding Balance for each Purchaser shall be increased by the corresponding amount set forth on Schedule II (the “Additional Consideration”). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Additional Consideration that is being added to the Outstanding Balance represents reasonably equivalent value to the Company, as defined by 11 U.S.C. § 548 and applicable state law. The Company hereby agrees to waive any claims against the Purchasers or the Designated Agent relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any claims to avoid any part of the transactions as a fraudulent transfer under state or federal law).
(b) In lieu of the payment of the Interest Payments in cash, the Interest Payments shall be deemed paid in kind as of each applicable payment date (i.e., March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively) and shall be added to the Outstanding Balance as of such payment due dates (the “PIK Coupon Payments”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that interest payments under the Notes shall be paid in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter ending on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31.
(c)Without duplication with the Accrued Expenses, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the costs and expenses incurred by the Designated Agent and/or the Purchasers (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to the Securities Purchase Agreement and their rights thereunder since the earliest occurrence of the Specified Defaults constitute “costs and expenses” for which the Designated Agent is entitled to repayment under Section 12.12 of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the Company’s obligations to reimburse such costs and expenses in cash, the parties hereto agree that such costs and expenses shall be deemed paid in kind and added to the Outstanding Balance upon presentation by the Designated Agent of invoices documenting such costs and expenses. During the Forbearance Period, expenses incurred by the Designated Agent in accordance with Section 12.12 of the Securities Purchase Agreement or in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, shall similarly be paid in kind and added to the Outstanding Balance upon presentation of invoices documenting such expenses.
SECTION 8.General Release; Indemnity. In addition to, and not in lieu of or in any way limiting, the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, in consideration of, among other things, the Designated Agent’s and Requisite Purchasers’ execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Company, on behalf of itself and its agents, representatives, officers, directors, advisors, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns
5
(collectively, “Releasors”), hereby forever agrees and covenants not to sue or prosecute against any Releasee (as hereinafter defined) and hereby forever waives, releases and discharges, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Releasee (as hereinafter defined) from any and all claims (including, without limitation, crossclaims, counterclaims, rights of set-off and recoupment or claims of fraudulent transfer under state or federal law), actions, causes of action, suits, debts, accounts, interests, liens, promises, warranties, damages and consequential damages, demands, agreements, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, controversies, variances, trespasses, judgments, executions, costs, expenses or claims whatsoever (collectively, the “Claims”), that such Releasor now has, of whatsoever nature and kind, whether known or unknown, whether arising at law or in equity, against any or all of the Purchasers (in their capacities as such) and their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, shareholders and “controlling persons” (within the meaning of the federal securities laws), and their respective successors and assigns and each and all of the officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other representatives of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Releasees”), solely to the extent based on facts, whether or not now known, existing on or before the Forbearance Effective Date, that relate to, arise out of or otherwise are in connection with: (i) any or all of the Transaction Documents or transactions contemplated thereby or any actions or omissions in connection therewith or (ii) any aspect of the dealings or relationships between or among the Company and the other Loan Parties, on the one hand, and any or all of the Purchasers, on the other hand, relating to any or all of the documents, transactions, actions or omissions referenced in clause (i) hereof. In entering into this Agreement, the Company consulted with, and has been represented by, legal counsel and expressly disclaims any reliance on any representations, acts or omissions by any of the Releasees and hereby agrees and acknowledges that the validity and effectiveness of the releases set forth above do not depend in any way on any such representations, acts and/or omissions or the accuracy, completeness or validity hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the directors and officers of the Company do not waive and may assert any defenses they may have as of the date hereof in connection with any claims made against them related to the foregoing. The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and payment in full of the Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights of the Company’s officers and directors to receive indemnification from the Company pursuant to applicable law and agreements by and between the Company and such persons shall not be altered or otherwise affected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(a)The Company hereby agrees that it shall be obligated to indemnify and hold the Releasees harmless with respect to any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements which are direct, indirect or consequential in nature which are incurred by the Releasees, or any of them as a result of or arising from or relating to any proceeding by, or on behalf of any Person, including, without limitation, the respective officers, directors, agents, trustees, creditors, partners or shareholders of the Company, any other Loan Party, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, whether threatened or initiated, in respect of any claim for legal or equitable remedy under any statue, regulation or common law principle arising from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, performance, administration and enforcement of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, this Agreement or any other document executed and/or delivered in connection herewith; provided, that neither the Company nor any other Loan Party shall have any obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Releasee hereunder with respect to liabilities to the extent they result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Releasee as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction thereof which is permissible under applicable law. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations.
6
(b)The Company, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Releasee that it will not sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Releasee on the basis of any Claim released, remised and discharged by the Company or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Section 5. If the Company or any of its successors or assigns violates the foregoing covenant, the Company, for itself and its successors and assigns, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Releasee may sustain as a result of such violation, all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by any Releasee as a result of such violation.

Such Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

7
SECTION 13.Consent to Service of Process.

SECTION 14.Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as would be enforceable.
SECTION 15.Transaction Document. This Agreement constitutes a “Transaction Document” for all purposes of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
SECTION 16.Reaffirmation.

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, each and every term, condition, obligation, covenant and agreement contained in the Transaction Documents is hereby ratified and reaffirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Purchaser or the Designated Agent under any of the Transaction Documents, or constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents. This Agreement shall not extinguish the obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Securities Purchase Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the obligations outstanding under the Securities Purchase Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, except to any extent amended or modified by this Agreement.
