Additionally, the Exchange Agreement provides for the ability of any shareholder of the Company who executed a Lockup Agreement in connection with the Financing to transfer, assign, pledge or sell securities otherwise covered by such Lockup Agreement if the sole use of proceeds of such disposition results in the full repayment of the New Notes.

3Interest and Payment of Interest

The New Notes shall not bear interest unless and until an Event of Default has occurred, in which event the New Notes will bear interest at a rate of 15%. Interest on the New Notes is computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months. Accrued and unpaid interest is payable by way of inclusion of such interest in the Conversion Amount or upon any redemption or any required payment upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default. Interest shall cease to accrue on the calendar day immediately following the date of cure.

Conversion of the New Notes

The Conversion Price shall be equal to the lower of (y) 80% of the lowest volume weighted average prices (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock during the twelve (12) consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date and (z) $3.67 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment, including full ratchet anti-dilution upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock below the then-existing Fixed Conversion Price. Anti-dilution adjustments to the conversion price of the New Notes shall be downward only. Customary exceptions apply including stock options issued to employees.

Beneficial Ownership Limitations on Conversion and Issuance

In addition to the conversion limitations described above, the New Notes may not be converted and shares of Common Stock may not be issued under the New Notes if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, the Investor together with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. At the Investor’s option, the ownership limitation blocker may be raised or lowered to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, as applicable, except that any raise will only be effective upon 61-days’ prior notice to the Company.

Covenants

The Company made certain affirmative and negative covenants in the New Notes, related to, among other things, the incurrence or repayment of indebtedness, payment of cash dividends and the maintenance and preservation of its existence, material property and material intellectual property rights.

Events of Default

The New Notes contain standard and customary Events of Default including but not limited to: (i) failure to make payments when due under the New Notes; (ii) breaches of covenants and (iii) bankruptcy or insolvency.

Following an Event of Default, the Investor may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the New Notes in an amount equal to the Event of Default Redemption Price (as defined below).

Additionally, if at any time after an Event of Default occurs under the New Series A Note and the Investor elects in a written notice to effect a Default Adjustment (as defined below) or a Bankruptcy Event of Default (as defined in the New Series A Notes) occurs, the aggregate principal amount of the New Series A-1 Note shall automatically increase to the difference of (x) the aggregate amount of the claim the Investor may have had under the original Series A Note, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, less $12.5 million (a “Default Adjustment”).

The Company must immediately redeem the New Notes in cash upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event of Default.

The Event of Default Redemption Price will be computed as a price equal to the greater of (i) 130% of the principal, interest and late charges to be redeemed and (ii) the product of (X) the principal, interest and late charges to be redeemed divided by the Conversion Price multiplied by (Y) the product of (1) 130% multiplied by (2) the greatest closing sale price of the Common Stock on any trading day during the period commencing on the date preceding such Event of Default and ending on the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under the New Notes.

Fundamental Transactions

The New Notes will prohibit the Company from entering into specified transactions involving a change of control unless the successor entity, which must be a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market (as defined in the New Notes) and assumes in writing all of the Company’s obligations under the New Notes.

New Debt

With the exception of Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the New Notes), the Company will agree that until the New Notes have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied, it will not incur any other debt.

Investor Note

The New Investor Note is payable in full thirty years from the maturity date of the New Series B Note. The Investor’s obligation to pay the Company the New Investor Note Principal is secured by $5,000,000, in the aggregate, in cash, cash equivalents, any Group of Ten (“G10”) currency and any notes or other securities issued by any G10 country or securities issued by a special purpose acquisition company. The Company will receive the applicable portion of the New Investor Note Principal then due upon each voluntary or mandatory prepayment of the New Investor Note. The Investor may, at its option and at any time, voluntarily prepay the New Investor Note, in whole or in part. The New Investor Note is also subject to mandatory prepayment, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of one or more of the following mandatory prepayment events:

(1) Mandatory Prepayment upon Conversion of New Series B Notes – At any time (i) if the Company receives a conversion notice from the Investor in which all, or any part of the New Series B Note to be converted included any Restricted Principal (as defined therein), and (ii) the Investor receives a confirmation from the Company’s transfer agent that it has been irrevocably instructed by the Company to deliver to the Investor the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the conversion notice.

(2) Mandatory Prepayment– on the first trading day of each calendar month immediately following such time as only $6.5 million remains outstanding under the New Series A Note, until such time as no principal remains outstanding under the New Investor Note, so long as no Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the New Notes) exists and is continuing, the Investor shall pay to the Company the lesser of (x) the principal amount then outstanding under the New Investor Note and (y) $1,500,000.

The New Investor Note also contains certain optional offset rights of the Company and the Investor, which if exercised, would reduce the amount outstanding under the New Notes and the New Investor Note by the same amount and, accordingly, the cash proceeds received by the Company from the Investor.

New Investor Warrant

The New Investor Warrant is identical in all material respects to the Investor Warrant except that the Adjustment Date Reset provision contained therein was amended such that the calculation shall be based on the principal amount of the New Notes as of the date of the Exchange.

Amended and Restated Master Netting Agreement

The Company and the Investor entered into an amended and restated master netting agreement for the purpose of clarifying for each party its right to net obligations that may arise under the Exchange Agreement, the New Investor Note and the New Series B Note upon the occurrence of certain events, including as described above.
