PURCHASE AND SALE; CLOSINGS

 

Section 2.1 Commitment to Purchase and Sell. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Pubco agrees to issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser irrevocably commits to purchase from Pubco, 5,000 Preferred Shares for the Purchase Price. The Preferred Shares shall be issued at par for the Purchase Price without original issue discount. As set forth more fully in the Certificate of Designations, each Preferred Share is convertible at the Purchaser’s election into Common Stock based on a Conversion Amount equal to 110% of its Stated Value plus other amounts then due, at a Conversion Price equal to the lower of (a) $10.00 and (b) 93% of the lowest daily VWAP during the five Trading Days immediately preceding conversion, subject to an initial Floor Price of $2.00 that automatically resets to 20% of the applicable market price on the Effective Registration Date and every six months thereafter, and subject to the beneficial-ownership limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designations, including Section 4(d) thereof.

 

Section 2.2 First Closing. At the First Closing, subject to the satisfaction (or written waiver by the Purchaser) of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1, (a) Pubco shall issue to the Purchaser the First Tranche Preferred Shares in book-entry form, registered in the name of the Purchaser, and (b) the Purchaser shall pay $3,500,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Pubco at least two Business Days before the First Closing Date.

 

Section 2.3 Second Closing. At the Second Closing, subject to all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 having been satisfied and remaining satisfied as of the Second Closing Date (or having been waived in writing by the Purchaser), (a) Pubco shall issue to the Purchaser the Second Tranche Preferred Shares in book-entry form, registered in the name of the Purchaser, and (b) the Purchaser shall pay $1,500,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Pubco at least two Business Days before the Second Closing Date. The Purchaser’s obligation to fund the Second Closing is a binding commitment and is not subject to market-price, trading-volume, financing, due-diligence-out or discretionary conditions. If, on the date that would otherwise be the Second Closing Date, any condition set forth in Section 6.2 is not satisfied solely because (i) a failure to deliver an installment of Closing Fee Shares is then within the applicable Fee Share Cure Period or is then the subject of a continuing Excusable Delay, or (ii) a breach or failure that would constitute a Pubco Default is then within an applicable cure period under Section 7.3, then the Second Closing Date shall be extended, without further action by any Party, to the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which such failure or breach is cured, and the Purchaser’s obligation to fund the Second Closing shall continue in full force and effect; provided that the Second Closing Date shall not be extended pursuant to this sentence to a date more than [thirty (30)] Trading Days after the date that would otherwise have been the Second Closing Date.

Section 2.4 Closing Fee Shares. The Closing Fee Shares shall be delivered to Purchaser by the Transferring Holders as follows: (a) immediately prior to the Merger Closing, the Transferring Holders shall transfer to the Purchaser the greatest number of Closing Fee Shares (the “Initial Fee Shares”) that, immediately after giving effect to such delivery, would not result in the Purchaser, together with its Attribution Parties, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Section 4(d) of the Certificate of Designations) in excess of 4.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Merger Closing (the “Fee Share Cap”); and (b) thereafter, within one (1) Trading Day after each written notice from the Purchaser (which the Purchaser may deliver from time to time and which shall certify the Purchaser’s then-current beneficial ownership), the Transferring Holders shall deliver to the Purchaser the greatest number of remaining undelivered Closing Fee Shares that would not, after giving effect to such delivery, cause the Purchaser to exceed the Fee Share Cap, until all 2,000,000 Closing Fee Shares have been delivered (the Purchaser may rely on the Reported Outstanding Share Number, as defined in the Certificate of Designations, for this purpose). Pubco and the Transfer Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the Purchaser’s certification of its beneficial ownership contained in each such notice, and no delivery of Closing Fee Shares made in good-faith reliance thereon shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or the Certificate of Designations by Pubco. Delivery of the Initial Fee Shares is an absolute condition to the Purchaser’s obligation to fund either Closing. The Closing Fee Shares are fully earned upon delivery and shall not be subject to clawback, setoff or refund except where the Purchaser fails to fund the Second Closing at a time when all conditions to the Second Closing have been satisfied or waived.

 

Section 2.5 Closing Deliveries by the Seller Parties. At or before the First Closing, and where applicable, at or before the Second Closing, the Seller Parties shall deliver: (a) this Agreement duly executed by each Seller Party; (b) evidence that the Certificate of Designations has been duly filed with and accepted by the Nevada Secretary of State and remains in effect; (c) evidence of delivery of the Initial Fee Shares (and, at the Second Closing, of all other Closing Fee Shares then required to have been delivered under Section 2.4) to the Purchaser by DWAC credit to the account designated by the Purchaser, without restrictive legend or stop-transfer instruction, together with written confirmation from the Transfer Agent to that effect; (d) an officer’s certificate certifying satisfaction of the conditions in Section 6.1; (e) a secretary’s certificate attaching organizational documents, authorizing resolutions, incumbency certificates and good-standing certificates; (f) Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions duly executed by Pubco and by the Transfer Agent; (g) a legal opinion of counsel to Pubco, in form and substance customary for transactions of this type and reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, subject to customary assumptions, qualifications and limitations and, as to matters of fact, based on certificates of officers of Pubco and of the transferring stockholders, covering organization, authorization, enforceability, valid issuance and, with respect to the Closing Fee Shares, that the issuance of such shares to the transferring stockholders was registered under the Securities Act on Pubco’s registration statement on Form S-4 and that, assuming the accuracy of the representations of the transferring stockholders and of the Purchaser referred to in Section 3.3, such shares are not “restricted securities” under Rule 144 and may be transferred to the Purchaser without restrictive legend; (h) a completed IRS Form W-9; and (i) wire instructions certified by an authorized officer. At the Second Closing, Pubco shall deliver bring-down certificates and evidence of issuance of the Second Tranche Preferred Shares.

Such reimbursement is in addition to the Purchase Price and shall not reduce the number or Stated Value of Preferred Shares issued.

Section 4.10 Trust Account Waiver. The Purchaser acknowledges that Piermont has established a trust account for the benefit of its public shareholders and that, before the Merger Closing, funds held in that account may be released only as described in Piermont’s organizational documents and SEC reports. The Purchaser irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind against the trust account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the trust account, in each case solely with respect to any claim arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. This waiver does not limit (a) any right of the Purchaser arising from ownership of Piermont securities independently of this Agreement, including a validly exercised redemption right, (b) any claim against assets held outside the trust account or funds released from the trust account following the Merger Closing, or (c) any right to enforce this Agreement after the Merger Closing.

COVENANTS

 

Section 5.1 Use of Proceeds. Pubco shall use the net proceeds for working capital, growth initiatives, transaction expenses and general corporate purposes and not for (a) dividends or repurchases of Junior Stock, (b) settlement of related-party liabilities outside the ordinary course, or (c) any activity that violates Applicable Law.

 

Section 5.2 Reservation and Listing of Common Stock. Pubco shall at all times reserve the number of shares of Common Stock required under the Certificate of Designations. It shall promptly apply to list all Conversion Shares and Closing Fee Shares on the Principal Market and use best efforts to maintain such listing and DTC eligibility while any Preferred Shares or Registrable Securities remain outstanding.

 

Section 5.3 Transfer Agent Instructions; Legends. Pubco shall deliver irrevocable instructions directing the Transfer Agent to issue the Securities in accordance with the Transaction Documents.

Section 5.4 Registration Rights. Pubco shall prepare and file, no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the First Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), a Registration Statement covering the resale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 200% of the maximum number of Registrable Securities issuable upon conversion in full of the Preferred Stock at the initial Floor Price (without regard to any conversion limitations) (plus without limiting Pubco’s obligations under Section 2.4, the Closing Fee Shares, if and to the extent not then freely tradable by the Purchaser without restriction), and shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable, but no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Filing Deadline if not reviewed by the Commission, and no later than sixty (60) calendar days after the Filing Deadline if reviewed (the “Effectiveness Deadline”). If the number of shares of Common Stock covered by effective Registration Statements is at any time less than 200% of the number of Registrable Securities issuable upon conversion in full of the Preferred Stock at the then-current Floor Price, Pubco shall file an additional Registration Statement covering the resale of the shortfall within fifteen (15) calendar days after written notice thereof from the Purchaser (an “Additional Filing Deadline”), and shall use its best efforts to cause such additional Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable, but no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Additional Filing Deadline if not reviewed by the Commission, and no later than sixty (60) calendar days after the Additional Filing Deadline if reviewed (an “Additional Effectiveness Deadline”). If: (i) any Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to this Section 5.4 is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the Filing Deadline or the applicable Additional Filing Deadline; (ii) any Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline or the applicable Additional Effectiveness Deadline; (iii) after a Registration Statement is declared effective, the Purchaser is unable to use the prospectus included therein to resell its Registrable Securities for any reason (other than during a Grace Period); or (iv) Pubco fails for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144 (each, a “Registration Event”, and the date on which any Registration Event occurs, an “Event Date”), then, as partial relief for the damages to the Purchaser by reason thereof (which the Parties agree are not capable of precise quantification), Pubco shall pay to the Purchaser an amount in cash equal to five percent (5.0%) of the aggregate Purchase Price paid for the Preferred Shares then outstanding, and an additional five percent (5.0%) of such aggregate Purchase Price on each thirty (30)-day anniversary of the Event Date (prorated for any period of less than thirty (30) days) until the applicable Registration Event is cured (such payments, the “Liquidated Damages”). The Liquidated Damages shall be paid within two (2) Trading Days after the Event Date and within two (2) Trading Days after each subsequent thirty (30)-day anniversary until the applicable Registration Event is cured. If Pubco fails to pay any Liquidated Damages when due, Pubco shall pay interest thereon at a rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum (or such lesser maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law) until paid in full. Pubco’s obligation to pay Liquidated Damages is a continuing obligation and shall not terminate until all unpaid Liquidated Damages have been paid, notwithstanding that the Preferred Shares may have been converted, redeemed or cancelled. The Liquidated Damages are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies available to the Purchaser under the Transaction Documents, at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Registration Event shall be deemed to have occurred, and no Liquidated Damages (or interest thereon) shall accrue, (A) under clause (ii) above, for any period during which the failure of a Registration Statement to be declared effective results from the review of, or comments on, such Registration Statement by the Commission or its staff (including any period following Pubco’s request for acceleration of effectiveness), provided that Pubco has filed such Registration Statement on or before the applicable Filing Deadline or Additional Filing Deadline, responds to each comment of the Commission’s staff within [ten (10)] Business Days after receipt thereof (or such longer period as is reasonably required to prepare any financial statements or other information requested by the Commission’s staff), and requests acceleration of effectiveness within two (2) Business Days after being notified that the Commission has no further comments or will not review such Registration Statement, or (B) with respect to any Registration Event, for any period during which such Registration Event results from an Excusable Delay or from the Purchaser’s failure to timely furnish the information required of it under this Section 5.4; provided, in each case, that Pubco continues to use its best efforts to cure the applicable Registration Event as promptly as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission or applicable Commission rules, regulations or interpretations (including Rule 415) limit the number of shares that may be included in any Registration Statement, or Pubco is not eligible under applicable rules and regulations of the Commission or the requirements of the applicable registration form to register the full number of shares otherwise required by this Section, Pubco shall include the maximum number of shares permitted, shall not be deemed in breach of this Section as a result, and shall register the excluded shares on one or more additional Registration Statements as promptly as Pubco is permitted to do so. Pubco shall notify the Purchaser in writing within one (1) Business Day after (x) any Registration Statement is declared effective, (y) the issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or of the qualification of the Registrable Securities in any jurisdiction, or (z) the occurrence of any event as a result of which the prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall promptly prepare and file any supplement or amendment necessary to correct the same. Pubco shall keep each Registration Statement continuously effective and the prospectus current until the earlier of (a) the date all Registrable Securities have been sold and (b) the date all Registrable Securities may be sold under Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale limitations; provided that Pubco may suspend use of the prospectus for up to ten (10) consecutive calendar days (and no more than twenty (20) calendar days in the aggregate in any 365-day period) if its board of directors determines in good faith that continued use would require premature disclosure of material non-public information (each such period, a “Grace Period”); provided, further, that Pubco shall promptly notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement and termination of each Grace Period (without disclosing the content of such information). Pubco shall bear all registration expenses other than the Purchaser's underwriting discounts, selling commissions and legal fees in excess of $5,000 for review of any registration filing. The Purchaser shall timely furnish customary selling-stockholder information and comply with prospectus-delivery requirements, and no material delay attributable to the Purchaser's failure to do so shall constitute a breach by Pubco.

Section 5.5 Demand and Piggyback Registration. If the Registration Statement required by Section 5.4 is not effective when Registrable Securities remain outstanding (or does not cover the resale of all Registrable Securities required to be covered pursuant to Section 5.4), the Purchaser may make written demands that Pubco file a registration statement covering such securities, and Pubco shall use best efforts to file within twenty (20) calendar days. If Pubco proposes to register Common Stock for its own account or another holder’s account, other than on Form S-4 or S-8 or a similar form, it shall give the Purchaser at least ten (10) calendar days’ prior written notice and include all Registrable Securities requested by the Purchaser, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks; provided that, in the event of any such cutback, the Registrable Securities requested to be included shall be included in priority to any securities to be registered for the account of Pubco or any other holder, other than securities held by Persons having registration rights under any registration rights agreement in effect on the Execution Date or to be entered into at the Merger Closing as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, in each case as identified in Exhibit 3.5 (the “Existing Registration Rights Agreements”), which securities shall have such priority relative to the Registrable Securities as is required by the terms of the Existing Registration Rights Agreements as in effect on the Execution Date (or, in the case of any such agreement to be entered into at the Merger Closing, in the form contemplated by the Merger Agreement as of the Execution Date), it being understood that nothing in this Section 5.5 shall require Pubco to breach any Existing Registration Rights Agreement.

 

Section 5.6 Public Disclosure. No later than 9:00 a.m. New York time on the fourth Business Day after the Execution Date, the Seller Parties shall publicly disclose the material terms of the transactions by filing or furnishing a Current Report on Form 8-K or other appropriate public filing, attaching the material Transaction Documents if required. Upon such disclosure, the Seller Parties shall have disclosed all material nonpublic information provided to the Purchaser. No Seller Party shall thereafter provide material nonpublic information to the Purchaser without its prior written consent and an agreement specifying the cleansing date.

 

 
Page 14

 

 

Section 5.7 SEC Reports; Rule 144. While any Preferred Shares or Registrable Securities remain outstanding, Pubco shall timely file all reports required by the Exchange Act, maintain current public information under Rule 144, and furnish the Purchaser, upon reasonable request, a written statement as to its compliance.

 

Section 5.8 Form D and Blue Sky. Pubco shall timely file a Form D with respect to the sale of the Preferred Shares and make all filings and take all actions reasonably necessary to qualify the Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws, excluding any requirement to qualify to do business or consent to general service of process where it is not otherwise subject.

 

Section 5.9 Equal Treatment; Amendments. Pubco shall not amend, waive or modify any material economic term of the Preferred Shares for another holder without offering the Purchaser the same treatment. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any holder to amend or waive a provision unless offered pro rata to all affected holders.

 

Section 5.10 Corporate Existence; Compliance. Pubco shall preserve its corporate existence and material rights, maintain material permits and insurance, and comply in all material respects with Applicable Law, except as otherwise permitted by the Certificate of Designations.

 

Section 5.11 Further Assurances and Due Diligence. Before each Closing, the Seller Parties shall provide the Purchaser and its advisors reasonable access to information and personnel for confirmatory due diligence, subject to confidentiality obligations and privilege. No such investigation limits any representation, warranty or remedy. Each Party shall execute further documents and take further actions reasonably necessary to carry out the Transaction Documents.

 

Section 5.12 Fees and Expenses. Except as provided in Section 2.7 and Article VIII, each Party shall bear its own fees and expenses. Pubco shall pay all transfer-agent fees, filing fees, listing fees, stamp and issuance taxes and similar charges relating to issuance of the Securities.

 

Section 5.13 Leak-Out Restrictions. Unless waived in writing by Pubco, on any Trading Day the Purchaser shall not effect, prior to the earlier of the date of (a) the termination of this Agreement, and (b) the consummation of the Second Closing, any direct or indirect (including, but not limited to, short sales or hedging transactions), open-market sales of Common Stock received as Closing Fee Shares or upon conversion of Preferred Shares; provided, however, that Purchaser may sell an amount of such shares on any given trading day that does not exceed the greater of (i) $75,000 divided by the closing price on the trading day prior to such given trading day; and (ii) 8% of the trading volume on the date of trading. The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, upon reasonable request, a daily trading report sufficient to confirm compliance, without disclosing proprietary strategy.

 

Section 5.14 No Restriction on Trading. Except for the Leak-Out Restrictions, compliance with securities laws and any written confidentiality agreement voluntarily entered into by the Purchaser, nothing in the Transaction Documents restricts the Purchaser from trading any security. Pubco acknowledges and agrees that neither the Purchaser nor any equity holder, director, officer, or affiliates thereof is a fiduciary of Pubco and has no duty to refrain from trading while not in possession of material nonpublic information.

 

Section 5.15 Prepayment and Redemption. Pubco may redeem all or any portion of the outstanding Preferred Shares upon fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice for cash equal to 110% of the outstanding Stated Value being redeemed plus all other amounts then due, strictly in accordance with the Certificate of Designations. The Purchaser may convert any Preferred Shares subject to redemption at any time before payment in full.

 

 
Page 15

 

 

Section 5.16 Integration with Certificate of Designations. Pubco shall perform all covenants in the Certificate of Designations, including conversion, reservation, adjustment, beneficial-ownership limitation, redemption, triggering-event and protective-vote provisions. If an inconsistency exists concerning the rights, preferences or limitations of the Preferred Shares, the Certificate of Designations controls; for contractual obligations among the Parties, this Agreement controls.

 

Section 5.17 Closing Fee Source. If Closing Fee Shares are transferred by legacy Tigerless stockholders, the Seller Parties shall obtain and deliver executed transfer documents, representations of authority and title, and any necessary consents. Failure by a transferring stockholder does not excuse Pubco’s obligation to deliver the full number of Closing Fee Shares.

 

Section 5.18 Tax Treatment. The Parties shall report the issuance of the Preferred Shares and Closing Fee Shares consistently with their form and substance under the Transaction Documents unless otherwise required by a final determination of a taxing authority. Pubco makes no representation concerning the Purchaser’s tax consequences.

 

Section 5.19 Stockholder Approval. If at any time the Principal Market determines, or Pubco otherwise concludes, that approval of Pubco’s stockholders is required under the rules of the Principal Market for the issuance of any of the Securities, Pubco shall promptly notify the Purchaser and shall seek such approval at the next meeting of its stockholders (or, if permitted, by written consent) and, if not obtained, at each subsequent annual or special meeting until obtained. Failure by Pubco to comply with this Section 5.19 shall constitute a Pubco Default; provided that the failure of Pubco’s stockholders to grant any such approval, notwithstanding Pubco’s compliance with this Section 5.19, shall not constitute a Pubco Default, a Triggering Event or a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder, and the Purchaser’s sole remedy in respect thereof shall be the condition set forth in Section 6.2(j).

 

ARTICLE VI

CONDITIONS TO CLOSING

 

Section 6.1 Conditions to the Purchaser’s Obligations at the First Closing. The Purchaser’s obligation to fund the First Closing is subject to satisfaction or written waiver by the Purchaser of the following: (a) the Merger Closing has occurred in accordance with the Merger Agreement, and any amendment or waiver required to permit the funding schedule set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 has become effective, in each case without any other amendment materially adverse to the Purchaser or the Securities; (b) the Seller Parties’ representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects (and those qualified by materiality are true and correct in all respects) as of the First Closing; (c) the Seller Parties have performed and complied with, in all respects, all covenants and other obligations required to be performed or complied with by them under the Transaction Documents by the First Closing; (d) no Material Adverse Effect has occurred since the Execution Date; (e) no law or order prohibits the transactions; (f) the Certificate of Designations has been filed and is effective; (g) the Closing Fee Shares have been delivered as required by Section 2.4; (h) the Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq and not suspended; (i) Pubco has sufficient authorized and reserved Common Stock, as specified in the Certificate of Designations; and (j) the deliveries in Sections 2.5 and 2.7 have been made.

 

 
Page 16

 

 

Section 6.2 Conditions to the Purchaser’s Obligations at the Second Closing. The Purchaser’s obligation to fund the Second Closing is subject only to: (a) the First Closing having occurred; (b) the fundamental representations in Sections 3.1 through 3.4 and 3.23 being true and correct in all respects, and all other representations and warranties of the Seller Parties being true and correct in all material respects, in each case as of the Second Closing Date; (c) no Triggering Event under the Certificate of Designations having occurred that is continuing and has not been cured (within any applicable cure period) or waived; (d) Pubco having performed and complied with, in all material respects, all covenants and other obligations required to be performed or complied with by it under the Transaction Documents at or before the Second Closing Date, including its payment, issuance, registration, listing and public-reporting obligations; (e) no law or order prohibiting the Second Closing; (f) Pubco having delivered the required bring-down documents; (g) Pubco’s Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq and trading thereof has not been suspended and no delisting notice has been received by Pubco from Nasdaq; (h) no Pubco Default having occurred that is continuing (it being understood that no event shall constitute a Pubco Default for purposes of this clause (h) until the expiration of any applicable cure period under Section 2.4 or Section 7.3 without cure, and that any Pubco Default that has been cured or waived shall be disregarded); (i) all registration statements required to be filed under the terms of this Agreement prior to the time of the Second Closing have been filed and, to the extent the applicable Effectiveness Deadline or Additional Effectiveness Deadline has occurred prior to the Second Closing Date, are effective (other than to the extent the failure to be effective is excused under Section 5.4); (j) if (and only if) approval of Pubco’s stockholders is required under the rules of the Principal Market for the issuance of any of the Securities (without regard to any beneficial-ownership limitation, but after giving effect to any limitation on the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Certificate of Designations that is intended to comply with such rules), such approval having been obtained (it being understood that this clause (j) shall be deemed satisfied if no such approval is required or if such approval has been obtained); and (k) Pubco having delivered each installment of the Closing Fee Shares required to have been delivered under Section 2.4 on or before the Second Closing Date, and no failure to deliver any such installment when due having continued beyond the applicable Fee Share Cure Period. For purposes of this Section 6.2, any failure to deliver Closing Fee Shares that is cured within the Fee Share Cure Period, or that occurs during the continuance of an Excusable Delay, shall be disregarded and shall not constitute a failure of any condition set forth in this Section 6.2 (including clauses (b), (c), (d), (h) and (k)). A decline in the market price or trading volume of the Common Stock, standing alone, is not a failure of a condition.

 

Section 6.3 Conditions to Pubco’s Obligations. Pubco’s obligation at each Closing is subject to: (a) the Purchaser’s representations being true and correct in all material respects; (b) the Purchaser having performed its material obligations due at such Closing; and (c) no law or order prohibiting the Closing.

 

Section 6.4 Frustration of Conditions. No Party may rely on failure of a condition if such failure was principally caused by that Party’s breach or failure to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the condition to be satisfied.

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION; EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES

 

Section 7.1 Termination Before First Closing. This Agreement may be terminated before the First Closing (a) by mutual written consent, (b) by either the Purchaser or the Seller Parties, acting jointly, if the Merger Agreement is validly terminated, (c) by the Purchaser if the First Closing has not occurred by December 31, 2026 (the “Outside Date”), unless principally caused by the Purchaser’s breach (provided that the Purchaser may extend the Outside Date by up to 30 days in its sole discretion if the First Closing has not occurred by such date), or (d) by either non-breaching Party if another Party materially breaches and fails to cure within ten Business Days after written notice, if curable. Termination does not affect accrued rights, confidentiality, expense reimbursement, indemnification or provisions intended to survive.

 

Section 7.2 Purchaser Failure to Fund. If all conditions to a Closing have been satisfied or waived and the Purchaser fails to timely fund, Pubco may seek specific performance or terminate the unfunded commitment after five Business Days’ written notice. Pubco’s remedies are subject to its duty to mitigate and do not include consequential or punitive damages, except for fraud or willful misconduct.

 

Section 7.3 Pubco Default. A “Pubco Default” occurs upon: (a) failure to issue Preferred Shares or deliver Conversion Shares when due, subject to applicable cure periods in the Certificate of Designations; (b) failure to pay any amount when due that continues for three Business Days; (c) material breach of a Transaction Document that is not curable, or continues for ten Business Days, if curable; (d) any representation or warranty of a Seller Party in a Transaction Document proving to have been false in any material respect when made (or, in the case of any representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, false in any respect when made); (e) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings involving Pubco; (f) suspension or delisting of the Common Stock for more than one Trading Day, other than a general market suspension; or (g) invalidity or repudiation of a material Transaction Document. Any event constituting a Triggering Event under the Certificate of Designations shall also constitute a Pubco Default hereunder; provided that the remedies with respect to such Triggering Event shall be governed by the remedies therein. Each Pubco Default under clauses (a) through (g) above, Section 2.4 or Section 5.19 (but not a Pubco Default arising solely by reason of the immediately preceding sentence), once it has occurred and any applicable cure period under this Agreement has expired without cure, shall also constitute a Triggering Event under the Certificate of Designations (and the Certificate of Designations shall so provide), entitling the Purchaser to the remedies set forth therein in addition to the remedies provided in this Agreement; provided that (i) no event shall constitute a Pubco Default or a Triggering Event to the extent, and for so long as, it results from an Excusable Delay, and (ii) the Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover under both this Agreement and the Certificate of Designations for the same loss, and any liquidated damages and interest paid under Section 2.4 or Section 5.4 in respect of a failure shall be credited against any damages, default amounts or premiums payable under the Certificate of Designations in respect of the same failure and period.

 

Section 7.4 Remedies. Upon a Pubco Default, the Purchaser may exercise all rights under the Transaction Documents and Applicable Law, including specific performance, conversion, redemption where expressly provided, damages and reimbursement of reasonable enforcement costs.

Section 7.5 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge that monetary damages may be inadequate and that each Party is entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement without proving actual damages or posting bond, in addition to other remedies.

 

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 8.1 Indemnification by the Seller Parties. The Seller Parties, jointly and severally through the Merger Closing and Pubco thereafter, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, partners, members, managers, employees, agents and controlling Persons (collectively, the "Purchaser Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all Losses arising out of or relating to (a) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by any Seller Party in any Transaction Document, (b) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission is based solely upon written information regarding the Purchaser furnished by the Purchaser expressly for use therein, or (c) any action, suit, claim, inquiry, investigation or proceeding, whether commenced or threatened, by any Person (including any stockholder of Pubco and Pubco itself) arising out of or relating to the authorization, execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated thereby, or the acquisition, purchase, ownership, conversion, disposition or status of any Securities, except, in each case, to the extent that such Losses are finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been proximately and solely caused by the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Purchaser Indemnified Party.

 

Section 8.2 Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by a Purchaser Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement or threatened commencement of any action, suit, claim, inquiry, investigation or proceeding for which such Purchaser Indemnified Party may seek indemnification hereunder, such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall notify the Seller Parties in writing; provided that the failure to so notify the Seller Parties shall not relieve the Seller Parties or Pubco, as applicable, of any liability hereunder except to the extent materially prejudiced by such failure. The applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party shall have the right to control the defense, settlement and compromise of any such action, suit, claim, inquiry, investigation or proceeding with counsel of its choosing reasonably satisfactory to Pubco, and the Seller Parties or Pubco, as applicable, shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel and all other reasonable costs of such defense as and when incurred. The Seller Parties or Pubco, as applicable, shall advance such fees, costs and expenses within five (5) Business Days after receipt of reasonable documentation thereof. Amounts so advanced shall not be repayable by any Purchaser Indemnified Party except to the extent it is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the related Losses were proximately and solely caused by the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Purchaser Indemnified Party. Pubco may participate in such defense with counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense. No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise any such action, suit, claim, inquiry, investigation or proceeding without the prior written consent of Pubco, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall be deemed given if Pubco does not object in writing within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice of the proposed settlement or compromise; provided that no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall enter into any settlement or compromise that includes an admission of wrongdoing or liability by any Seller Party or imposes any non-monetary obligation on any Seller Party without Pubco's prior written consent.

 

 
Page 19

 

 

Section 8.3 Direct Claims. The indemnification obligations set forth in this Article VIII shall apply to direct claims between or among any Seller Party and any Purchaser Indemnified Party, including any claim asserted by any Seller Party against a Purchaser Indemnified Party, and shall not be limited to third-party claims. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding Section 9.12, the Losses indemnifiable under this Article VIII expressly include reasonable attorneys' fees, disbursements and other costs and expenses incurred by any Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection with any action, suit, claim, inquiry, investigation or proceeding between or among any Seller Party, on the one hand, and any Purchaser Indemnified Party, on the other hand, arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated thereby. With respect to any direct claim for indemnification, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall provide the Seller Parties or Pubco, as applicable, with written notice describing in reasonable detail the basis for such claim; provided that any failure or delay in providing such notice shall not relieve the Seller Parties or Pubco, as applicable, of their obligations hereunder except to the extent materially prejudiced thereby.

 

Section 8.4 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article VIII is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless a Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses for which indemnification is provided herein, then the Seller Parties or Pubco, as applicable, on the one hand, and the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Seller Parties or Pubco, as applicable, and such Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection with the acts, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the aggregate amount required to be contributed by the Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.4 exceed the net gain actually realized by the Purchaser from the Securities giving rise to such Losses, after deducting all expenses incurred by the Purchaser or such Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection with the applicable claim and any amounts previously paid by the Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect thereof. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

Section 8.5 Enforcement; Cumulative Remedies. The Seller Parties or Pubco, as applicable, shall reimburse each Purchaser Indemnified Party for all reasonable documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with the collection or enforcement of any amounts payable or rights arising under this Article VIII. The indemnification and contribution obligations contained in this Article VIII shall survive the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, each Closing, any investigation made by or on behalf of any Purchaser Indemnified Party and any transfer or disposition of the Securities. The rights and remedies provided in this Article VIII are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other rights or remedies available to any Purchaser Indemnified Party under any Transaction Document, at law or in equity.

 

 
Page 20

 

 

Section 8.6 Survival. Notwithstanding any investigation made by or on behalf of any Purchaser Indemnified Party, and notwithstanding any Purchaser Indemnified Party's knowledge (however obtained) of any breach or inaccuracy, each representation and warranty of the Seller Parties contained in the Transaction Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, each Closing and any transfer or disposition of the Securities, and shall remain in full force and effect until the later of (a) the sixth (6th) anniversary of the latest date on which such representation or warranty was made or deemed made and (b) the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to a claim for breach of contract under the law specified in Section 9.2. Each covenant and agreement of the Seller Parties contained in the Transaction Documents shall survive each Closing in accordance with its terms and, in the case of any covenant or agreement required to be performed at or after a Closing, until fully performed and thereafter until expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to a claim for breach thereof. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to shorten any statute of limitations otherwise applicable to any claim, and nothing in this Article VIII shall limit or restrict any claim based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

 

ARTICLE IX

Each Party irrevocably submits, for purposes of any action to compel arbitration under this Section 9.3, to confirm or enforce any arbitral award, or to obtain provisional, injunctive or equitable relief (including under Section 7.5), to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York, waives objections based on venue or inconvenient forum, and consents to service by the notice methods herein. EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. Each Party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a Party or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively by arbitration administered by Mediation and Civil Arbitration, Inc. d/b/a RapidRuling (www.rapidruling.com) (“RapidRuling”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules effective at the time a claim is made (the “Rules”), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Arbitrators shall be appointed by RapidRuling. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York, and any hearing shall be held via video or telephone conference. The Parties agree that no objection shall be taken to the decision, order or award of the tribunal following any such hearing on the basis that the hearing was held by video or telephone conference. The Parties consent to electronic service of process, with service to be made to the following email addresses: Pubco: [●], with a copy to [email protected]; and the Purchaser: [●], with a copy to [●]. All such service of process may come from the opposing Party’s email address listed here or from [email protected]. The Parties shall list all said email addresses as “safe senders” (or other whitelist) and are responsible to check their “SPAM” and “junk” type incoming messages on a daily basis. In any such arbitration award, the arbitrator shall require the breaching Party (if any), as finally determined by the arbitrator, to pay the non-breaching Party’s costs and expenses (including such non-breaching Party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, arbitration costs, court costs and other expenses) associated with enforcing the Transaction Documents and collecting any award or judgment related thereto.

Section 9.4 Assignment. No Seller Party may assign this Agreement or its obligations without the Purchaser’s prior written consent. The Purchaser may assign all or part of its rights with a transfer of corresponding Securities to an Affiliate or other permitted transferee that agrees in writing to be bound. No assignment releases the assignor from accrued obligations unless the other Parties consent.

 

Section 9.5 Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement binds and benefits the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns. Except for indemnified parties under Article VIII, no other Person is a third-party beneficiary.

 

Section 9.6 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by the Seller Parties and the Purchaser. A waiver is effective only in writing and only for the specific instance. No course of dealing constitutes a waiver.

 

Section 9.7 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement concerning their subject matter and supersede the preliminary term sheet and all prior discussions and agreements, except any confidentiality agreement that expressly survives.

 

Section 9.8 Severability. If a provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving intent, and the remaining provisions remain effective.

 

Section 9.9 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each deemed an original and together one instrument. PDF and electronic signatures have the same effect as originals.

 

Section 9.10 No Partnership or Agency. Nothing creates a partnership, joint venture, fiduciary, agency or similar relationship. The Purchaser acts solely as an arm’s-length purchaser.

 

Section 9.11 Further Assurances. Each Party shall execute documents and take actions reasonably requested to effect the intent of this Agreement.

 

Section 9.12 Expenses of Enforcement. The prevailing Party in a final, nonappealable action to enforce a Transaction Document is entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, without duplication of Article VIII; provided that nothing in this Section 9.12 shall limit, reduce or condition any amount payable to a Purchaser Indemnified Party under Article VIII..

 

 
Page 22

 

 

Section 9.13 Confidentiality. Until public disclosure under Section 5.6, each Party shall keep the transaction and nonpublic information confidential, subject to disclosures to advisors bound by confidentiality, financing sources, regulators, courts or as required by law. If legally permitted, the disclosing Party shall give prior notice and seek confidential treatment.

 

Section 9.14 Headings; Interpretation. Headings are for convenience only. The Parties and their counsel have jointly negotiated the Agreement, and no rule construing ambiguities against a drafter applies.

 

Section 9.15 Independent Nature of Purchaser’s Obligations. If additional purchasers execute separate purchase agreements, the obligations of each purchaser are several and not joint, and no purchaser is responsible for another purchaser’s performance. Nothing creates a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

Section 9.16 Maximum Payments. No amount payable shall exceed the maximum lawful amount. Any excess shall be applied to reduce lawful amounts owed or refunded.

 

Section 9.17 Business Days. If an action is due on a day that is not a Business Day, it is due on the next Business Day, except where the Certificate of Designations expressly provides otherwise.

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company

Re: Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions — Tigerless AI Holdings Inc.

 

[NTD: PARTIES TO CONFIRM NUMBERS BELOW]

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made to the transfer agency and registrar services agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”) between Tigerless AI Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of [●], 2026 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, a Nevada corporation, Piermont Valley Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company, Tigerless Health, Inc., a New York corporation, and the purchaser signatory thereto (the “Purchaser”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement or, if not defined therein, in the Certificate of Designations. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, in its capacity as transfer agent and registrar for the Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”), is referred to herein as the “Transfer Agent.”

 

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Company has agreed (i) to issue to the Purchaser an aggregate of 5,000 shares of Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) in two tranches at the First Closing and the Second Closing and(ii) to issue, or to reserve for issuance, shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (the “Conversion Shares”). The Conversion Shares are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Securities Shares.” This letter constitutes the Company’s irrevocable instructions to the Transfer Agent with respect to the Preferred Shares and the Securities Shares (these “Instructions”).

 

The Company hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer Agent as follows:

 

1. Issuance of Preferred Stock at Closings. On the First Closing Date, the Transfer Agent is hereby authorized and instructed, without any further act, instruction, consent or confirmation of the Company being required, to issue and record on the Company’s stock ledger 3,500 Preferred Shares in book-entry (uncertificated) form registered in the name of the Purchaser, and on the Second Closing Date to issue and record on the Company’s stock ledger an additional 1,500 Preferred Shares in book-entry (uncertificated) form registered in the name of the Purchaser, and in each case to deliver to the Purchaser a statement of holding evidencing such issuance. Such Preferred Shares shall bear a notation of the restrictive legend set forth in Section 7. The Company shall deliver written notice of each of the First Closing Date and the Second Closing Date to the Transfer Agent, with a copy to the Purchaser.

 

 
Page 28

 

 

2. Share Reserve. The Company has directed the Transfer Agent to reserve, and the Transfer Agent shall reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive or similar rights, from the Company’s duly authorized and unissued Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to not less than 200% of the number of shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the conversion in full of the Preferred Shares then outstanding (without regard to any beneficial-ownership or other limitations on conversion) at the Floor Price or Adjusted Floor Price, as applicable, then in effect as set forth in the Certificate of Designations, which the Company represents is initially [●] shares of Common Stock (the “Share Reserve”). The Company and the Purchaser will have equal and independent authority to increase the Share Reserve so that the number of shares of Common Stock reserved is at all times not less than the amount described in the preceding sentence. The Transfer Agent shall not use the Share Reserve for any purpose other than the issuance of Conversion Shares in accordance with these Instructions. If at any time the Share Reserve is insufficient, the Company shall promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock, including obtaining any required stockholder or board authorization.

 

3. Issuance of Conversion Shares. Upon the Transfer Agent’s receipt from the Purchaser or the Company of (a) a Conversion Notice under the Certificate of Designations (an “Issuance Notice”), and (b) any other documentation expressly required by these Instructions, the Transfer Agent shall, no later than twenty-four (24) hours after such receipt, issue and deliver the number of shares of Common Stock specified in such Issuance Notice to or upon the order of the Purchaser, without any further act, instruction, consent or confirmation of the Company being required. In addition, upon the Transfer Agent’s receipt of a written notice from the Purchaser stating that the Company has failed to timely deliver shares of Common Stock and that the Purchaser is entitled to additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to the buy-in or other failure-to-deliver remedies set forth in the Certificate of Designations, the Transfer Agent is hereby authorized and instructed to issue and deliver to the Purchaser the number of additional shares of Common Stock specified in such notice, without any further act, instruction, consent or confirmation of the Company being required. The Transfer Agent shall issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to these Instructions notwithstanding any threatened or pending dispute, claim or proceeding between the Company and the Purchaser relating to the Certificate of Designations or the Securities Purchase Agreement, unless, prior to the applicable issuance deadline, the Transfer Agent has received a court order expressly prohibiting such issuance, together with a certified copy thereof.

 

4. Redemption of Preferred Stock. Upon the Transfer Agent’s receipt of written notice from the Company, duly countersigned by the Purchaser (the Purchaser’s signature not to be unreasonably withheld), or from the Purchaser, confirming that the Company has paid to the Purchaser the Company Optional Redemption Price for Preferred Shares redeemed pursuant to Section 9 of the Certificate of Designations (a “Redemption Notice”), the Transfer Agent is hereby authorized and instructed, without any further act, instruction, consent or confirmation of the Company being required, to record the cancellation of the number of Preferred Shares specified in such Redemption Notice on the Company’s stock ledger. Nothing in this Section shall require the Transfer Agent to make, hold, or disburse any redemption payment, which the Company shall pay directly to the Purchaser.

 

5. Electronic Delivery. If the conditions for unlegended issuance set forth in Section 7 are satisfied, the Transfer Agent shall deliver such shares of Common Stock electronically by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system. If such conditions are not satisfied, the Transfer Agent shall deliver certificated shares of Common Stock bearing the legend set forth in Section 7 to the address specified in the applicable Issuance Notice.

 

6. Restrictive Legend. Except as provided in Section 7, all Preferred Shares and Securities Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:

 

“THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.”

 

 
Page 29

 

 

7. Unlegended Shares; Removal of Legend. The Transfer Agent shall issue Securities Shares free of any restrictive legend, and (as applicable) shall remove any restrictive legend from outstanding Securities Shares and deliver them via DWAC, promptly and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours following its receipt of a request from the Purchaser accompanied by the items specified below, provided that any of the following conditions have been satisfied:

 

(a) a registration statement covering the resale of such Securities Shares has been declared effective by the Commission under the Securities Act and such Securities Shares are subject thereto, accompanied by an opinion of counsel to the Company in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Transfer Agent, which opinion shall be delivered in accordance with Section 8;

 

(b) such Securities Shares are eligible for resale by the Purchaser pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, accompanied by a customary representation letter from the Purchaser and an opinion of counsel to the Company in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Transfer Agent, which the Company shall cause its counsel to deliver in accordance with Section 8; or

 

(c) such Securities Shares may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, accompanied by an opinion of counsel to the Company in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Transfer Agent, which opinion shall be delivered in accordance with Section 8.

 

8. Company and Counsel Cooperation. The Company shall, at its expense, cause its legal counsel to deliver to the Transfer Agent all legal opinions reasonably requested by the Transfer Agent in connection with the issuance of unlegended Securities Shares or the removal of any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 2 or Section 7, and the Company hereby authorizes such counsel to rely on these Instructions and on the Transaction Documents in rendering any such opinion. The Transfer Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any such opinion of counsel without independent investigation. If the Company fails or refuses to cause its counsel to deliver any such requested opinion within one (1) Trading Day of such request, the Purchaser may cause its own counsel to deliver such opinion to the Transfer Agent, and the Transfer Agent shall treat such opinion as an opinion delivered by the Company’s counsel for all purposes under these Instructions. From and after the first such failure by the Company, the Purchaser may thereafter cause its own counsel to deliver any such requested opinion to the Transfer Agent without regard to, and without waiting for the expiration of, the foregoing one (1) Trading Day period, and the Transfer Agent shall treat such opinion as an opinion delivered by the Company’s counsel for all purposes under these Instructions.

 

9. Irrevocable Instructions. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser is relying upon these Instructions in entering into the Transaction Documents and that these Instructions are an inducement to the Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. Accordingly, these Instructions are irrevocable and may not be amended, modified, rescinded or supplemented, and no instruction inconsistent herewith shall be given to the Transfer Agent by the Company, in each case without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Transfer Agent shall not be bound by any contrary or inconsistent instruction from the Company unless accompanied by the written consent required by the preceding sentence. The Company further covenants that it shall not terminate, replace or remove the Transfer Agent, or appoint any successor or replacement transfer agent with respect to the Preferred Shares or the Securities Shares, unless, as a condition to and prior to the effectiveness of any such change, the successor or replacement transfer agent executes and delivers to the Purchaser irrevocable instructions substantially in the form of these Instructions. The Company’s obligations under these Instructions shall survive, and shall be binding upon the Company notwithstanding, any such termination, replacement or appointment.

 

 
Page 30

 

 

10. Indemnification of Transfer Agent. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Transfer Agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in connection with the Transfer Agent’s performance of its duties in accordance with these Instructions, except to the extent finally determined to have resulted from the Transfer Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The terms of the Transfer Agreement and any other separate transfer agent services agreement between the Company and the Transfer Agent shall remain in full force and effect, provided that, to the extent of any conflict with respect to the Preferred Shares or the Securities Shares, these Instructions shall govern. The Company hereby waives, and covenants not to commence or maintain, any claim, action or proceeding against the Transfer Agent arising out of or relating to the Transfer Agent’s compliance with these Instructions or with any notice, direction or instruction delivered by the Purchaser in accordance with these Instructions, except to the extent finally determined to have resulted from the Transfer Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

 

11. Third-Party Beneficiary. The Purchaser is an express, intended third-party beneficiary of these Instructions and shall be entitled to enforce these Instructions against the Company and the Transfer Agent as if a party hereto.

 

12. Counterparts. These Instructions may be executed in counterparts (including by electronic transmission or electronic signature), each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

Please acknowledge your agreement to, and acceptance of, these Instructions by countersigning below.
