RECITALS

A.                The Company and the Stockholder are parties to that certain Voting Agreement, dated on or about April 29, 2022, or May 17, 2022 (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which the Stockholder has agreed to vote in favor of certain proposed amendments to the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock that would, among other matters, permit the closing of a proposed Exchange Offer for all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock and the subsequent redemption of all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock that remain outstanding after the completion of the Exchange Offer; and

B.                Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company anticipated that a portion of the consideration to be paid per share of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock in connection with the Exchange Offer and subsequent redemption would be payable in cash, as set forth in the Form of Amendments attached to the Agreement, as well as shares of Common Stock and, in the case of the Series C Preferred Stock, warrants, as set forth in the Form of Amendments; and

C.                The Company and the Stockholder now desire to provide that if, at the time that the Exchange Offer closes, the payment of cash in exchange for all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock tendered in the Exchange Offer would cause (a) the Company to violate the restrictions on payment of distributions to stockholders under Section 2-311 of the Maryland General Corporation Law, (b) any material breach of or default under the terms and conditions of any obligation of the Company, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, or (c) the Company to violate any restriction or prohibition of any law rule or regulation applicable to the Company or of any order, judgment or decree of any court or administrative agency, then, in lieu of the cash portion of the consideration payable in the Exchange Offer and, upon the subsequent redemption of shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock that remain outstanding after the completion of the Exchange Offer, each holder of a share of Series B Preferred Stock may receive 50 shares, and each holder of a share of Series C Preferred Stock may receive one share, of a new series of preferred stock of the Company having the preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption set forth in the Terms of New Preferred Stock attached hereto as Exhibit A-3 and as otherwise contemplated by the exhibits to this Amendment (the “Terms of New Preferred Stock”); and

D.                The Company and the Stockholder desire to amend the Agreement on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and have executed and delivered this Amendment for such purpose.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective terms, provisions and conditions set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

1.                  All capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein have the meaning give to such terms in the Agreement.

4.                  To the extent that the Company determines that such action is reasonably necessary to accommodate the requirements of any petition for attorneys’ fees or order with respect to attorneys’ fees of class counsel to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, the Company may modify the Terms of New Preferred Stock or create two separate classes of preferred stock (such that the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock receive separate series of preferred stock) to permit the payment of such attorneys’ fees solely by the holders of Series B Preferred Stock.

5.                  [The undersigned further agrees and acknowledges that to the extent the undersigned is a holder of one or more of the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Convertible Promissory Notes, dated May 9, 2022 (the “Notes”), the undersigned agrees that, if the Company has not received by October 31, 2022, approval of its stockholders for the exchange of its Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock for any combination of cash, shares of Common Stock, shares of new Company preferred stock and/or other good and valuable consideration on terms agreed to by the requisite percentage of holders of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock and provided notice of the subsequent redemption of any remaining outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and its Series C Preferred Stock for any combination of  cash, shares of Common Stock, shares of new Company preferred stock and/or other good and valuable consideration  then the “Stated Maturity Date” of the Notes shall mean November 9, 2022.]¹

6.                  Except as modified by this Amendment, the Agreement remains in full force and effect and unmodified.
