The Lenders have been provided with final copies of the Mast Note, the Warrants and Securities Purchase Agreement are attached hereto as Exhibit “A”.
1. The Lenders hereby give authorization and consent to the Company to enter into the Securities Purchase Agreement with Mast Hill and associated transaction documents.
2. The Company and Mast Hill acknowledge and agree that Mast Hill shall not require the Company to utilize the initial $1,500,000 (the “Minimum Threshold”) of cash proceeds that the Company receives on or after the issuance date of the Mast Note from any source or series of related or unrelated sources from the issuance of equity (excluding the conversion of outstanding warrants of the Company), debt (excluding the proceeds of the Mast Note), or the issuance of securities pursuant to an Equity Line of Credit (as defined in the Mast Note) of the Company to make any payments on the Mast Note, as expressly provided in and pursuant to the terms of Section 1.10 of the Mast Note. The term “Subordinated Obligations” means all obligations, or instruments setting forth such obligations of the Company now existing or hereafter arising, to Mast Hill under any indebtedness, now outstanding or hereafter incurred or any assignee of Mast Hill of all or a portion of the Mast Note. The term “Senior Debt” means any and all obligations of Company to the Lenders or any other assignee of the Lenders of all or a portion of the Notes under, in connection with or in any way related to the Notes or other transaction documents entered into with respect to the Notes. The Company and Mast Hill shall not amend Section 1.10 of the Mast Note in any manner while the Notes are outstanding. The Company and Mast Hill shall not amend the Mast Note to provide a security interest in the Company’s assets while the Notes are outstanding. Further, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Company and Mast Hill acknowledge and agree that Mast Hill does not have the right to require the Company to use the proceeds from the Mast Note to repay the Mast Note under Section 1.10 of the Mast Note.

Until the earlier of (i) the date that the Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in full or (ii) the date that the Company has received cash proceeds of more than the Minimum Threshold in the aggregate (for the avoidance of doubt, each time that the Company receives cash proceeds on or after the issuance date of the Mast Note (excluding the proceeds of the Mast Note), such amount shall be aggregated together for purposes of calculating the Minimum Threshold) from any source or series of related or unrelated sources from the issuance of equity (excluding the conversion of outstanding warrants of the Company), debt, or the issuance of securities pursuant to an Equity Line of Credit (as defined in the Mast Note) of the Company, the Company may not make, and Mast Hill may not accept, any payments in cash under the Mast Note without the prior written consent of the Lenders.
4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subordination agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”), Mast Hill agrees that it will not make any assertion or claim in any action, suit or proceeding of any nature whatsoever in any way challenging the priority, validity or effectiveness of the liens and security interests granted to the Lenders under the Notes and related transaction documents.
5. Mast Hill will not transfer or assign, except to the Lenders, any part of the Subordinated Obligations while any Senior Debt remains outstanding, unless such transfer or assignment is made expressly subject to this Subordination Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, a transfer or assignment shall not include Mast Hill’s conversion of the Mast Note into the Company’s common stock.
