provided, that if the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the Exchange and any other shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company which could be aggregated with the shares being issued in connection with the Exchange under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), at a price less than the Nasdaq Minimum Price (as such term is used and defined with respect to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635) were to exceed 19.99% of the Company’s shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before consummation of the Exchange and any other transactions being consummated by the Company at the time of the Exchange (the “Cap Amount”), (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Exchange shall be reduced to equal the Cap Amount and allocated among the recipients of such shares of Common Stock (including each of the Holders under this Agreement) on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes to be exchanged hereunder and under any other agreements by each such holder and (ii) the Company shall pay cash based on the closing price per share of the Common Stock as reported on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on the last Trading Day of the Sale Period to each such holder (including each Holder under this Agreement) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable to each such holder but for such pro rata reduction.

 

Unless delayed as set forth below, on each Trading Day during the Sale Period, (a) each Holder shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company all right, title and interest in and to its Notes Daily Settlement Amount for such Trading Day free and clear of any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest, encumbrance, title retention agreement, option, equity or other adverse claim thereto (collectively, “Liens”), together with any documents of conveyance or transfer that the Company may deem necessary or desirable to transfer to and confirm in the Company all right, title and interest in and to such Notes Daily Settlement Amount free and clear of any Liens, and (b) the Company shall deliver to each Holder the Daily Settlement Amount for such Trading Day (or, if there are no Accounts, the Company shall deliver to the Undersigned, as the sole Holder, the Daily Settlement Amount), as may be adjusted in the event of any Limit Day pursuant to Section 5.1 (each, a “Closing” and each such Trading Date, a “Closing Date”); provided, however, that the parties agree that each Closing is subject to delivery of DTC book entry unrestricted Consideration Shares to the Holders, which are eligible for trading on Nasdaq as of such Closing. The parties acknowledge that the delay in Closings due to events beyond the Company’s reasonable control (including the procedures and mechanics regarding the listing of the Consideration Shares on Nasdaq, to the extent applicable), will not be a default under this Agreement so long as the Company is using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the issuance of the Consideration Shares.

The Undersigned, for itself and each Holder, hereby covenants as follows and makes the following representations and warranties, each of which is and shall be true and correct on the date hereof and at each of the Closings, to the Company and Guggenheim Securities, LLC, and all such covenants, representations and warranties shall survive the Closings.
