ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General Information

Noble Roman’s, Inc., an Indiana corporation incorporated in 1972, sells and services franchises and licenses and operates Company-owned foodservice locations for stand-alone restaurants and non-traditional foodservice operations under the trade names “Noble Roman’s Craft Pizza & Pub,” “Noble Roman’s Pizza,” “Noble Roman’s Take-N-Bake,” and “Tuscano’s Italian Style Subs.” References in this report to the “Company” are to Noble Roman’s, Inc. and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Pizzaco, Inc. and RH Roanoke, Inc., unless the context requires otherwise. Pizzaco, Inc. currently does not own any locations and has no income or expense. RH Roanoke, Inc. operates a Company-owned non-traditional location.

The Company has been operating, franchising and licensing Noble Roman’s Pizza operations in a variety of stand-alone and non-traditional locations across the country since 1972. Its first Craft Pizza & Pub location opened in January 2017 as a Company-operated restaurant in a northern suburb of Indianapolis, Indiana. Since then, four more Company-operated locations were opened in 2017, 2018 and March 2020 with additional locations under consideration. The Company-operated locations serve as the base for what it sees as the potential future growth driver franchising to experienced, multi-unit restaurant operators with a track record of success. The Company executed an agreement with the first such operator, Indiana’s largest Dairy Queen franchisee with 19 franchised Dairy Queen locations in 2019. The franchisee opened the first franchised Craft Pizza & Pub location in May 2019 and now has a second location under development, which is expected to open in early summer 2020. In November 2019, another franchisee, with an operations background in McDonald's, opened a Craft Pizza & Pub in Evansville, Indiana.

Noble Roman’s Craft Pizza & Pub

The Noble Roman’s Craft Pizza & Pub utilizes many of the basic elements first introduced in 1972 but in a modern atmosphere with up-to-date technology and equipment to maximize speed, enhance quality and perpetuate the taste customers love and expect from a Noble Roman’s.

The Noble Roman’s Craft Pizza & Pub provides for a selection of over 40 different toppings, cheeses and sauces from which to choose. Beer and wine also are featured, with 16 different beers on tap including both national and local craft selections. Wines include 16 affordably priced options by the bottle or glass in a range of varietals. Beer and wine service is provided at the bar and throughout the dining room.

The Company designed the system to enable fast cook times, with oven speeds running approximately 2.5 minutes for traditional pizzas and 5.75 minutes for Sicilian pizzas. Traditional pizza favorites such as pepperoni are options on the menu, but also offered is a selection of Craft Pizza & Pub original pizza creations. The menu also features a selection of contemporary and fresh, made-to-order salads and fresh-cooked pasta. The menu also incorporates baked sub sandwiches, hand-sauced wings and a selection of desserts, as well as Noble Roman’s famous Breadsticks with Spicy Cheese Sauce most of which has been offered in all its locations since 1972.

Additional enhancements include a glass enclosed “Dough Room” where Noble Roman’s Dough Masters hand make all pizza and breadstick dough from scratch in customer view. Also in the dining room is a “Dusting & Drizzle Station” where guests can customize their pizzas after they are baked with a variety of toppings and drizzles, such as rosemary-infused olive oil, honey and Italian spices. Kids and adults enjoy Noble Roman’s self-serve root beer tap, which is also part of a special menu for customers 12 and younger. Throughout the dining room and the bar area there are many giant screen television monitors for sports and the nostalgic black and white shorts featured in Noble Roman’s since 1972.

The Company designed its new curbside service for carry-out customers, called “Pizza Valet Service,” to create added value and convenience. With Pizza Valet Service, customers place orders ahead, drive into the restaurant’s reserved valet parking spaces and have their pizza run to their vehicle by specially uniformed pizza valets. Customers who pay when they place their orders are able to drive up and leave with their order very quickly without stepping out of their vehicle. For those who choose to pay after they arrive, pizza valets can take credit card payments on their mobile payment devices right at the customer's vehicle. With the fast baking times, the entire experience, from order to pick-up can take as little as 12 minutes.

Noble Roman’s Pizza For Non-Traditional Locations

In 1997, the Company started franchising non-traditional locations (a Noble Roman’s pizza operation within some other business or activity that had existing traffic) such as entertainment facilities, hospitals, convenience stores and other types of facilities. These locations utilize the two pizza styles the Company started with in 1972, along with its great tasting, high quality ingredients and menu extensions.

4

The hallmark of Noble Roman’s Pizza for non-traditional locations is “Superior quality that our customers can taste.” Every ingredient and process has been designed with a view to produce superior results.

A fully-prepared pizza crust that captures the made-from-scratch pizzeria flavor which gets delivered to non-traditional locations in a shelf-stable condition so that dough handling is no longer an impediment to a consistent product, which otherwise is a challenge in non-traditional locations.

Fresh packed, uncondensed and never cooked sauce made with secret spices, parmesan cheese and vine-ripened tomatoes in all venues.

100% real cheese blended from mozzarella and Muenster, with no soy additives or extenders.

100% real meat toppings, with no additives or extenders, a distinction compared to many pizza concepts.

Vegetable and mushroom toppings are sliced and delivered fresh, never canned.

An extended product line that includes breadsticks and cheesy stix with dip, pasta, baked sandwiches, salads, wings and a line of breakfast products.

The fully-prepared crust also forms the basis for the Company’s Take-N-Bake pizza for use as an add-on component for its non-traditional franchise base as well as an offering for its grocery store license venue.

Business Strategy

The Company is focused on revenue expansion while continuing to minimize corporate-level overhead. To accomplish this the Company will continue owning and operating a core of Craft Pizza & Pub locations in order to develop what it believes to be a large growth opportunity by franchising to qualified multi-unit franchisees. At the same time, the Company will continue to focus on franchising/licensing for non-traditional locations by franchising primarily to convenience stores and entertainment centers.

The initial franchise fees are as follows:

Non-Traditional<br>Except Hospitals Non-Traditional<br><br><br>Hospitals Traditional<br><br><br>Stand-Alone
Noble Roman’s<br>Pizza or Craft Pizza & Pub $7,500 $10,000 $30,000(1)

(1) With the sale of multiple traditional stand-alone franchises to a single franchisee, the franchise fee for the first unit is $30,000, the franchise fee for the second unit is $25,000 and the franchise fee for the third unit and any additional unit is $20,000.

The franchise fees are paid upon signing the franchise agreement and, when paid, are non-refundable in consideration of the administration and other expenses incurred by the Company in granting the franchises and for the lost and/or deferred opportunities to grant such franchises to any other party.

The Company’s proprietary ingredients are manufactured pursuant to the Company’s recipes and formulas by third-party manufacturers under contracts between the Company and its various manufacturers. These contracts require the manufacturers to produce ingredients meeting the Company’s specifications and to sell them to Company-approved distributors at prices negotiated between the Company and the manufacturer.

The Company utilizes distributors it has strategically identified across the United States. The distributor agreements require the distributors to maintain adequate inventories of all ingredients necessary to meet the needs of the Company’s franchisees and licensees in their distribution areas for weekly deliveries.

Competition

The restaurant industry and the retail food industry in general are very competitive with respect to convenience, price, product quality and service. In addition, the Company competes for franchise and license sales on the basis of product engineering and quality, investment cost, cost of sales, distribution, simplicity of operation and labor requirements. Actions by one or more of the Company’s competitors could have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to sell additional franchises or licenses, maintain and renew existing franchises or licenses, or sell its products. Many of the Company’s competitors are very large, internationally established companies.

5

Within the environment in which we compete management has identified what it believes to be certain competitive advantages for the Company. Many of the Company’s competitors in the non-traditional venue were established with little or no organizational history operating traditional foodservice locations. This lack of operating experience may limit their ability to attract and maintain non-traditional franchisees or licensees who, by the nature of the venue, often have little exposure to foodservice operations themselves. The Company’s background in traditional restaurant operations has provided it experience in structuring, planning, marketing, and controlling costs of franchise or license unit operations which may be of material benefit to franchisees or licensees.

The Company’s Noble Roman’s Craft Pizza & Pub format competes with similar restaurants in its service area. Some of the competitors are company-owned, some are franchised locations of large chains and others are independently owned. Some of the competitors are larger and have greater financial resources than the Company.

Seasonality of Sales

Bad winter weather conditions tend to adversely affect sales, especially those of the Craft Pizza & Pubs which are designed for in-store dining and carry-out, which in turn affects Company revenue. Sales of non-traditional franchises or licenses may be affected by seasonalities and holiday periods. Sales to certain non-traditional venues may be slower around major holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, and during the first quarter of the year. Product sales of the non-traditional franchises/licenses may be slower during the first quarter of the year and certain venues such as grocery stores are typically slower during the summer months.

Employees

As of April 21, 2020, the Company employed approximately 29 persons full-time and 98 persons on a part-time, hourly basis, of which 17 of the full-time employees are employed in sales and service of the franchise/license units and 12 in restaurant locations. No employees are covered under a collective bargaining agreement. The Company believes that relations with its employees are good.

Trademarks and Service Marks

The Company owns and protects several trademarks and service marks. Many of these, including NOBLE ROMAN’S®, Noble Roman’s Pizza®, THE BETTER PIZZA PEOPLE®, “Noble Roman’s Take-N-Bake Pizza,”“Noble Roman’s Craft Pizza & Pub®,” and “Tuscano’s Italian Style Subs®,” are registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as well as with the corresponding agencies of certain other foreign governments. The Company believes that its trademarks and service marks have significant value and are important to its sales and marketing efforts.

Government Regulation

The Company and its franchisees and licensees are subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting the operation of the respective businesses. Each location, including the Company’s Craft Pizza & Pub locations, are subject to licensing and regulation by a number of governmental authorities, which include health, safety, sanitation, building, employment, alcohol and other agencies and ordinances in the state or municipality in which the facility is located. The process of obtaining and maintaining required licenses or approvals can delay or prevent the opening of a location. Vendors, such as our third-party production and distribution services, are also licensed and subject to regulation by state and local health and fire codes, and U. S. Department of Transportation regulations. The Company, its franchisees, licensees and vendors are also subject to federal and state environmental regulations, as well as laws and regulations relating to minimum wage and other employment-related matters. In certain circumstances, the Company is, or soon may be, subject to various local, state and/or federal laws requiring disclosure of nutritional and/or ingredient information concerning the Company’s products, its packaging, menu boards and/or other literature. Changes in the laws and rules applicable to the Company or its franchisees or licensees, or their interpretation, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

The Company is subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and various state agencies pursuant to federal and state laws regulating the offer and sale of franchises. Several states also regulate aspects of the franchisor-franchisee relationship. The FTC requires the Company to furnish to prospective franchisees a disclosure document containing specified information. Several states also regulate the sale of franchises and require registration of a franchise disclosure document with state authorities. Substantive state laws that regulate the franchisor-franchisee relationship presently exist in a substantial number of states and bills have been introduced in Congress from time to time that would provide for additional federal regulation of the franchisor-franchisee relationship in certain respects. State laws often limit, among other things, the duration and scope of non-competition provisions and the ability of a franchisor to terminate or refuse to renew a franchise. Some foreign countries also have disclosure requirements and other laws regulating franchising and the franchisor-franchisee relationship, and the Company is subject to applicable laws in each jurisdiction where it seeks to market additional franchised units.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

In the first quarter of 2020, a novel strain of corona virus (COVID-19) emerged and spread throughout the United States. The World Health Organization recognized COVID-19 as a pandemic in March 2020. In response to the pandemic, the U.S. federal government and various state and local governments have, among other things, imposed travel and business restrictions, including stay-at-home orders and other guidelines that required restaurants and bars to close or restrict inside dining. The pandemic has resulted in significant, economic volatility, uncertainty and disruption, reduced commercial activity and weakened economic conditions in the regions in which we and our franchisees operate.

The pandemic and the governmental response is having a significant adverse impact on the Company, due to, among other things, governmental restrictions, reduced customer traffic, staffing challenges and supply difficulties. All Company-owned Craft Pizza & Pub restaurants are located in the State of Indiana. On March 16, 2020, by order of the Governor of the State of Indiana (the “Governor”), all restaurants within Indiana were ordered to close for inside dining. Due to the order, all Craft Pizza & Pub restaurants have been open for carry-out only, primarily through the Company’s Pizza Valet system and third-party delivery providers. On May 1, 2020, the Governor issued another order allowing restaurants to be open for inside dining for up to 50% of capacity as of May 11, 2020, and on June 14, 2020 up to 75% of capacity, plus bars may open up to 50% of capacity, and on July 4, 2020 restaurants and bars may resume at 100% capacity. As the duration and scope of the pandemic is uncertain, these orders are subject to further modification, which could adversely affect the Company. Further, the Company can provide no assurance the phase-out of restrictions will have a positive effect on the Company’s business.

Several other states and municipalities in the United States have also temporarily restricted travel and suspended the operation of dine-in restaurants in light of COVID-19, which has negatively affected our franchised operations. Host facilities for our non-traditional franchises may also be adversely impacted by these developments. The uncertainty and disruption in the U.S. economy caused by the pandemic are likely to adversely impact the volume and resources of potential franchisees for both our Craft Pizza & Pub and non-traditional venues. For additional information regarding the risks of the COVID-19 pandemic, see Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors.”

The information on our website is not incorporated into this annual report.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

All phases of the Company’s operations are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which are outside of its control, and any one or a combination of which could materially affect its results of operations. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations are discussed below. Prospective investors should carefully consider these factors before investing in our securities as well as the information set forth under “Forward-Looking Statements” in Item 7 of this report. These risks and uncertainties include:

Current COVID-19 pandemic.

The current COVID-19 pandemic, including the governmental response to it, is having a significant adverse impact on the Company’s business, including reduced customer traffic and staffing challenges and could lead to supply difficulties, some of which the Company has already experienced. All of the Company’s Craft Pizza & Pub restaurants are located in the State of Indiana, the Governor of which has implemented significant restrictions on the operation of restaurants in response to the pandemic. The Company has been addressing these restrictions by (among other things) promoting the Company’s Pizza Valet service, for carry-out, in order to replace a portion of the lost revenue from the dining room, but those efforts may not be fully successful. Several other states and municipalities in the United States have also temporarily suspended the operation of dine-in restaurants in light of COVID-19, which has impacted our franchised operations. Moreover, host facilities for our non-traditional franchises may be adversely impacted by these developments. Additionally, viruses may be transmitted through human contact, and the risk and perceived risk of contracting viruses could cause potential customers to avoid gathering in public places (including restaurants and non-traditional venues), which could further have adverse effects on our non-traditional business or the franchisee’s ability to adequately staff the locations. If any of the Company’s employees are suspected of having been exposed to COVID-19 or other similar illnesses, we could be required to quarantine some or all such employees or close and disinfect our facilities. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the temporary closure of a number of meat processors throughout the country. The Company has already experienced one minor delay in supply, and could face additional supply disruptions to a minor or major degree which could impact the Company’s ability to serve product with the impacted ingredients. The potential of such disruptions has prompted the Company-operated units to take on a larger than normal supply of certain key ingredients. Depending on the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s ability to execute its growth plans could be adversely affected. These risks and any additional risks associated with COVID-19 or a similar outbreak may materially adversely affect the Company’s business or results of operations, and may impact the Company’s liquidity or financial condition, particularly if these risks persist for a significant amount of time.

7

Competition from larger companies.

The Company competes with large national companies and numerous regional and local companies for franchise and license sales and with respect to its Company-owned locations. Many of its competitors have greater financial and other resources than the Company. The restaurant industry in general is intensely competitive with respect to convenience, price, product quality and service. In addition, the Company competes for franchise and license sales on the basis of several factors, including product engineering and quality, investment cost, cost of sales, distribution, simplicity of operation and labor requirements. Activities of the Company’s competitors could have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to sell additional franchises or licenses or maintain and renew existing franchises and licenses or the operating results of the Company’s system.

Dependence on growth strategy.

The Company’s growth strategies include selling new franchises or licenses for non-traditional locations and to expand Craft Pizza & Pub locations by franchising to qualified franchisees and gradually increasing the number of Company-owned Craft Pizza & Pub locations. The opening and success of new locations will depend upon various factors, which include: (1) the traffic generated by and viability of the underlying activity or business in non-traditional locations; (2) the viability of the Craft Pizza & Pub locations; (3) the ability of the franchisees and licensees of either venue to operate their locations effectively; (4) the franchisee's ability to comply with applicable regulatory requirements; and (5) the effect of competition and general economic and business conditions including food and labor costs. Many of the foregoing factors are not within the Company’s control. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve its plans with respect to the opening and/or operation of new franchises/licenses for Craft Pizza & Pub or non-traditional locations.

Dependence on success of franchisees and licensees.

While an increasing portion of its revenues are being generated by Company-owned operations, a significant portion of the Company’s revenues continues to come from royalties and other fees generated by its franchisees and licensees which are independent operators, and their employees are not the Company’s employees. The Company is dependent on the franchisees to accurately report their weekly sales and, consequently, the calculation of royalties. If the franchisees do not accurately report their sales, the Company’s revenue could decline. The Company provides training and support to franchisees and licensees but the quality of the store operations and collectability of the receivables may be diminished by a number of factors beyond the Company’s control. Consequently, franchisees and licensees may not operate locations in a manner consistent with the Company’s standards and requirements, or may not hire and train qualified managers and other store personnel. If they do not, the Company’s image and reputation may suffer, and its revenues and stock price could decline. While the Company attempts to ensure that its franchisees and licensees maintain the quality of its brand and branded products, franchisees and licensees may take actions that adversely affect the value of the Company’s intellectual property or reputation. Initiatives to increase the Federal minimum wage and/or shortage of available labor could have an adverse financial effect on our franchisees/licensees or the Company by increasing the labor cost.

Dependence on distributors.

The success of the Company’s license and franchise offerings depends upon the Company’s ability to engage and retain unrelated, third-party distributors. The Company’s distributors collect and remit certain of the Company’s royalties and must reliably stock and deliver products to the Company’s licensees and franchisees. The Company’s inability to engage and retain quality distributors, or a failure by distributors to perform in accordance with the Company’s standards, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Dependence on consumer preferences and perceptions.

The restaurant industry and the retail food industry is often affected by changes in consumer tastes, national, regional and local economic conditions, demographic trends, traffic patterns and the type, number and location of competing restaurants. The Company could be substantially adversely affected by publicity resulting from food quality, illness, an infection pandemic, injury, other health concerns or operating issues stemming from one restaurant or retail outlet or a limited number of restaurants and retail outlets.

Ability to service our outstanding indebtedness and the dilutive effect of our outstanding warrants.

As of March 20, 2020, the Company has approximately $8.6 million in principal amount debt obligations. Of that debt, $8.0 million is in the form of a senior secured promissory note and $625,000 is in the form of convertible subordinated notes.

8

On February 7, 2020, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Promissory Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Corbel Capital Partners SBIC, L.P. (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued to the Purchaser a senior secured promissory note (the “Senior Note”) in the initial principal amount of $8.0 million. The Company has used or will use the net proceeds of the Agreement as follows: (i) $4.2 million was used to repay the Company’s then-existing bank debt which was in the original amount of $6.1 million; (ii) $1.275 million was used to repay the portion of the Company’s outstanding subordinated convertible debt the maturity date of which most had not previously been extended; (iii) debt issuance costs; and (iv) the remaining net proceeds will be used for working capital or other general corporate purposes, including development of new Company-owned Craft Pizza & Pub locations.

The Senior Note bears cash interest of LIBOR, as defined in the Agreement, plus 7.75%. In addition, the Note requires payment-in-kind interest (“PIK Interest”) of 3% per annum, which will be added to the principal amount of the Senior Note. Interest is payable in arrears on the last calendar day of each month. The Senior Note matures on February 7, 2025. The Senior Note does not require any fixed principal payments until February 28, 2023, at which time required monthly payments of principal in the amount of $33,333 begin and continue until maturity. The Senior Note requires the Company to make additional payments on the principal balance of the Senior Note based on its consolidated excess cash flow, as defined in the Agreement.

In conjunction with the Senior Note, the Company issued to the Purchaser a warrant (the “Corbel Warrant”) to purchase up to 2,250,000 shares of Common Stock. The Corbel Warrant entitles the Purchaser to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time: (i) 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.57 per share (“Tranche 1”), (ii) 900,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.72 per share (“Tranche 2”), and (iii) 150,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.97 per share (“Tranche 3”). The Purchaser is required to exercise the Corbel Warrant with respect to Tranche 1 if the Common Stock is trading at $1.40 per share or higher for a specified period, and is further required to exercise the Corbel Warrant with respect to Tranche 2 if the Common Stock is trading at $1.50 per share or higher for a specified period. Cashless exercise of the Corbel Warrant is only permitted with respect to Tranche 3. The Purchaser has the right, within six months after the issuance of any shares under the Corbel Warrant, to require the Company to repurchase such shares for cash or for put notes, at the Company's discretion. The Corbel Warrant expires on the sixth anniversary of the date of its issuance.

Additionally, the Company previously issued certain units (the “Units”) consisting of a convertible, subordinated, unsecured promissory note (the “Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000 and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $1.00 per share, no par value per share. Following the refinancing described above, $625,000 in principal amount of Notes and the associated Warrants remain outstanding. These Notes mature, and the associated Warrants expire, in January 2023.

Interruptions in supply or delivery of food products.

Dependence on frequent deliveries of product from unrelated third-party manufacturers through unrelated third-party distributors also subjects the Company to the risk that shortages or interruptions in supply caused by contractual interruptions, market conditions, inclement weather or other conditions could adversely affect the availability, quality and cost of ingredients. In addition, factors such as inflation, market conditions for cheese, wheat, meats, paper, labor and other items may also adversely affect the franchisees and licensees and, as a result, can adversely affect the Company’s ability to add new franchised or licensed locations.

Dependence on key executives.

The Company’s business has been and will continue to be dependent upon the efforts and abilities of its executive staff generally, and particularly Paul W. Mobley, its Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, and A. Scott Mobley, its President and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of either of their services could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Federal, state and local laws with regard to the operation of the businesses.

The Company is subject to regulation by the FTC and various state agencies pursuant to federal and state laws regulating the offer and sale of franchises. Several states also regulate aspects of the franchisor-franchisee relationship. The FTC requires the Company to furnish to prospective franchisees a disclosure document containing specified information. Several states also regulate the sale of franchises and require registration of a franchise disclosure document with state authorities. Substantive state laws that regulate the franchisor-franchisee relationship presently exist in a substantial number of states, and bills have been introduced in Congress from time to time that would provide for federal regulation of the franchisor-franchisee relationship in certain respects. The state laws often limit, among other things, the duration and scope of non-competition provisions and the ability of a franchisor to terminate or refuse to renew a franchise. Some foreign countries also have disclosure requirements and other laws regulating franchising and the franchisor-franchisee relationship, and the Company would be subject to applicable laws in each jurisdiction where it seeks to market additional franchise units.

Each franchise and Company-owned location is subject to licensing and regulation by a number of governmental authorities, which include health, safety, sanitation, building, alcohol, employment and other agencies and ordinances in the state or municipality in which the facility is located. The process of obtaining and maintaining required licenses or approvals can delay or prevent the opening of a franchise location. Vendors, such as the Company’s third-party production and distribution services, are also licensed and subject to regulation by state and local health and fire codes, and U. S. Department of Transportation regulations. The Company, its franchisees and its vendors are also subject to federal and state environmental regulations.

Indiana law with regard to purchases of the Company’s stock.

Certain provisions of Indiana law applicable to the Company could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of the Company. Such provisions could also limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of its common stock. These provisions include prohibitions against certain business combinations with persons or groups of persons that become “interested shareholders” (persons or groups of persons who are beneficial owners of shares with voting power equal to 10% or more) unless the board of directors approves either the business combination or the acquisition of stock before the person becomes an “interested shareholder.”

Inapplicability of corporate governance standards that apply to companies listed on a national exchange.

The Company’s stock is quoted on the OTCQB, a Nasdaq-sponsored and operated inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities not included on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company is not subject to the same corporate governance requirements that apply to exchange-listed companies. These requirements include: (1) a majority of independent directors; (2) an audit committee of independent directors; and (3) shareholder approval of certain equity compensation plans or equity issuances. As a result, quotation of the Company’s stock on the OTCQB limits the liquidity and price of its stock more than if its stock was quoted or listed on a national exchange. There is no assurance that the Company’s stock will continue to be authorized for quotation by the OTCQB or any other market in the future.

(1)

In 2018, the Company incurred $300,000 in various expenses related to initiating a franchising program for Craft Pizza & Pub, $166,000 in pre-opening costs for the Company’s Craft Pizza & Pub locations and $39,000 for abandoned leasehold improvements. The Company does not expect to incur any of these expenses in the future.

(2)

The significant increase in income tax expense for 2017 was a result of decreasing the carrying value of the Company’s deferred tax assets as a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”) lowering the highest corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21%. The increase in tax expense for 2018 was the result of the Company evaluating its deferred tax assets and determining that $1.4 million of the deferred tax credits may expire in 2019 and 2020 before they are fully utilized, partially offset by the tax benefit of $503,000 from the loss before income from continuing operations which was primarily the result of the adjustment made to the valuation of receivables. In 2019, after again evaluating its deferred tax assets, it was determined that $1.7 million of the net operating loss carry-forward may expire before it is used, therefore the Company increased the tax expense in 2019 and reduced the deferred tax asset by $400 thousand.

(3)

In 2019, the Company incurred $134,545 in rent expense in addition to rent paid as a non-cash expense for the new lease accounting rules.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

The Company currently owns and operates five Craft Pizza & Pub locations and one non-traditional location in a hospital. The Company uses the Company-operated Craft Pizza & Pub locations as a base to support the franchising of that concept. Craft Pizza & Pub is designed to have a fun, pleasant atmosphere serving pizza and other related menu items, all made fresh using fresh ingredients in the view of the customers for inside dining and offers Pizza Valet service for a quick, easy and fun way to provide carry-out for those customers who want to dine elsewhere. These units operate under the trade name “Noble Roman’s Craft Pizza & Pub”.

The Company also sells and services franchises and licenses for non-traditional foodservice operations under the trade names “Noble Roman’s Pizza" and “Noble Roman’s Take-N-Bake.” The non-traditional concepts’ hallmarks include high quality pizza along with other related menu items, simple operating systems, fast service times, labor-minimizing operations, attractive food costs and overall affordability.

There were 3,064 franchised/licensed or Company-owned outlets in operation on December 31, 2019 and

3,041 on December 31, 2018. During 2019, 35 new franchised/licensed were opened and 12 franchised outlets left the system. Grocery stores are accustomed to adding products for a period of time, removing them for a period of time and possibly re-offering them. Therefore, it is unknown how many grocery store licenses, out of the total count of 2,402, have left the system.

As discussed in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company uses significant estimates in evaluating its assets including such items as accounts receivable from franchisees to reflect the actual amount that may be collected from those receivables. To arrive at these estimates the Company utilized multiple means of analysis, including management’s own analysis and informed assessment of individual accounts. Based on this approach, in 2018 the Company permanently wrote off $1.3 million and created an additional reserve for possible non-collections of $2.8 million. Also, based on this approach and with particular consideration of the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as discussed under Risk Factors, may have on the economic stability of the former franchisees it was decided to take an additional reserve for possible non-collections of $1.3 million. The actual amount the Company eventually collects, however, could differ from that estimation. At December 31, 2018 and 2019, the Company reported net accounts receivable from franchisees of $4.4 million and $4.0 million, respectively, each of which were net of allowances, to reflect the amount the Company expects to realize for the franchisee receivables. The allowance as of December 31, 2018 was $4.3 million and as of December 31, 2019 was $5.6 million. Approximately $972,000 was transferred from short-term to long-term during 2019. The franchisee receivables, for which the valuation allowance is carried, are related to former franchisees and a significant portion relates back to 2014 and 2015, which arose out of a variety of breaches by former non-traditional franchisees.

The Company, at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, had deferred tax assets on its balance sheet totaling $4.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively, after reducing the carrying value in 2018 by $1.4 million, and in 2019 by $400,000, respectively, based on the Company’s review of its anticipated results in the current business plan. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the remaining deferred tax assets will be utilized prior to their expiration, between 2020 and 2036.

13

Financial Summary

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Company evaluates the carrying values of its assets, including property, equipment and related costs, accounts receivable and deferred tax assets, periodically to assess whether any impairment indications are present due to (among other factors) recurring operating losses, significant adverse legal developments, competition, changes in demand for the Company’s products or changes in the business climate that affect the recovery of recorded values. If any impairment of an individual asset is evident, a charge will be provided to reduce the carrying value to its estimated fair value.

Results of Operations

Company-Owned Craft Pizza & Pub

The revenue from this venue declined from $1.2 million to $1.1 million for the fourth quarter and grew from $4.82 million to $4.83 million for the 12 months ended compared to the comparable periods in 2018. The primary reason for the decrease in the three-month period were same store sales decline relative to the grand opening weeks from the latest two store openings in 2018. The increase in the year was the result of one additional restaurant, which opened in June 2018, partially offset by the unusually extreme winter weather conditions in Indiana during the months of January and February 2019.

Cost of sales increased slightly from 22.1% to 22.3% in the fourth quarter but improved from 22.0% to 21.4% for the year compared to the comparable periods in 2018. This improvement was the result of efficiency gain as the restaurants matured and as the staff gained experience.

Salaries and wages improved to 30.0% from 33.2% and to 30.0% from 31.4% for the three-month and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2019 compared to the comparable periods in 2018. This improvement was the results of improved efficiency as the restaurants matured and as the staff gained experience. These gains were partially offset in the first three months of 2019 by the unusually extreme winter weather conditions in Indiana during the months of January and February 2019.

Facility costs, including rent, common area maintenance and utilities, increased to 16.2% from 15.7% and to 17.2% from 13.6% of revenue for the respective three-month and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2019 compared to the comparable periods in 2018. The primary reason for the significant increases was the increase in common area maintenance. In 2018, all four locations were operating in new strip centers based on the landlord’s estimate of common area maintenance costs. When the estimates were reconciled with the actual costs, the Company had to pay common area maintenance in 2019 based on the actual costs in 2018. In two cases, the actual common area maintenance costs were double the landlord’s estimate. In addition, the non-cash expense related to the adoption of ASU 2016-02 increased reported rent costs of $134,544 for the year 2019. The rent expense for existing locations will be less than the amount paid in some future years as the leases mature.

All other costs and expenses increased to 18.3% from 15.8% and to 16.7% from 11.6% of revenue for the respective three-month and twelve-month periods ended December 2019 compared to the comparable periods in 2018. The primary increases were insurance, advertising and delivery fees. The insurance increase was a combination of price increases and the effect of low sales in January and February due to the extreme winter weather conditions. The increase in advertising was a more normal level from the reduced level in 2018 during the period of new openings. The delivery fees were the result of adding delivery service by use of outside vendors which began during the harsh winter weather last year.

Gross margin contribution decreased to 10.3% from 10.5% and to 12.0% from 18.8% for the respective three-month and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2019 compared to the comparable periods in 2018. A significant contributor of those margin decreases were the results of the impact of severe winter weather in 2019 on revenue, as noted above. In addition, the margin contribution was also impacted by the unanticipated effect of facility costs primarily due to an increase in common area maintenance fees, the addition of non-cash expense as a result of the new accounting rules regarding leases and the addition of delivery fees from adding delivery service by outside vendors that began during the harsh winter weather in January and February 2019.

Franchising Revenue and Expense

Total revenue from this venue declined to $1.3 million from $1.6 million and declined to $6.2 million from $6.4 million for the three-month and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2019 compared to the comparable periods in 2018. Royalties and fees from franchising remained approximately the same at $5.0 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2019 compared to the comparable period in 2018. Royalties and fees from grocery store take-n-bake decreased to $301,000 from $323,000 and to $1.1 million from $1.4 million for the three-month and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2019 compared to the comparable periods in 2018. The increase in royalties and fees from franchising and the decrease in royalties and fees from grocery store take-n-bake reflected the change in emphasis on franchising over licensing grocery stores to sell take-n-bake pizza because of the general business conditions that existed in 2019.

Gross margin in this venue increased to 57.1% from 51.7% and to 66.1% from 59.1% for the three-month and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2019 compared to the comparable periods in 2018. These increased margins were the direct result of the Company’s in-depth review of its operations to find ways to minimize costs but at the same time to support revenue. The Company expects these higher margins to continue in the future.

17

Company-Owned Non-Traditional Locations

Gross revenue from this venue decreased to $174,000 from $294,000 and to $674,000 from $1.16 million for the respective three-month and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2019 compared to the comparable periods in 2018. The primary reason for this decrease was the Company operating three non-traditional locations in 2018 and only one in 2019. The two locations vacated in December 2018 were locations that the Company was only operating to the end of their contract terms. The Company does not intend to operate any more Company-owned non-traditional locations except for the one location that is currently operating.

Comparing the various expenses is not meaningful since they reflected different types of non-traditional venues. Total expenses were $162,000 and $626,000 for the three-month and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2019 compared to $293,000 and $1.15 million for the comparable periods in 2018. The primary reason for this decrease was two fewer locations operated by the Company in 2019 compared to 2018.

Gross margin contribution from this venue increased to 6.7% and 7.0% from 0.1% and 1.0% for the three-month and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2019 compared to the comparable periods in 2018. As discussed above, two of the locations being operated in 2018 were only being operated to the end of their contract terms.

Impact of Inflation

The primary inflation factors affecting both Company and franchised operations are food and labor costs. Cheese makes up the single largest topping cost on a pizza. Cheese prices have fluctuated substantially for the past several years. In 2015 through 2017, cheese prices averaged 3% below the 10-year average. In 2018, prices further decreased and averaged 6% below the 10-year average. On April 15, 2020, cheese price hit a record low, since the Company started tracking it in 1999.

Labor costs across the country generally, through 2019, have seen upward pressure on hourly rates as the unemployment rate decreased and competition for hourly employees increased.  The same applies to salaried management.  The Company’s Craft Pizza & Pub operations currently pay well above minimum wage rates to remain competitive, and has seen similar pressure on management salaries.  Although the Company believes future labor cost increases for non-traditional franchisees and licensees will be somewhat mitigated due to the relatively low labor requirements of the Company’s franchise concepts and the high unemployment rate at the current time brought about as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mounting pressures in the labor markets, with the return of an improved economy, could be a factor in both franchised and Company operations going forward.  Should labor costs increase substantially, or if commodity prices for cheese or other ingredients rise significantly, or some combination thereof occurs, restaurants and foodservice concepts, including the Company and its franchisees, would face pressure to increase menu pricing, the feasibility of which could be subject to competitive concerns.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s strategy is to grow its business by concentrating on franchising/licensing non-traditional locations, franchising its updated stand-alone concept, Craft Pizza & Pub and operating a limited number of Company-owned Craft Pizza & Pub restaurants. The Company added new Company-operated Craft Pizza & Pub locations in January and November of 2017, January and June of 2018 and March 2020.

During 2018, the Company invested resources (approximately $300,000) to commence franchising of the Craft Pizza & Pub franchise. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had two Craft Pizza & Pub locations under franchise agreements which were open and an additional franchise location under development and expected to open in the summer of 2020.

The Company is operating one non-traditional location in a hospital and has no plans for operating any additional non-traditional locations.

The Company’s current ratio was 1.5-to-1 as of December 31, 2019 compared to 2.4-to-1 as of December 31, 2018. The current ratio was improved significantly with the new financing in February 2020.

In January 2017, the Company completed the offering of $2.4 million principal amount of Notes convertible to common stock at $.50 per share and Warrants to purchase up to 2.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment. In 2018, $400,000 principal amount of Notes was converted into 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, in January 2019 another Note in the principal amount of $50,000 was converted into 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and in August 2019 another Note in the principal amount of $50,000 was converted into 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, leaving principal amounts of Notes of $1.9 million outstanding as of December 31, 2019. Holders of Notes in the principal amount of $775,000 extended their maturity date to January 31, 2023. In February 2020, $1,275,000 of the Notes were repaid in conjunction with a new financing leaving a principal balance of $625,000 of subordinated convertible notes outstanding due January 31, 2023. These Notes bear interest at 10% per annum paid quarterly and are convertible to common stock any time prior to maturity at the option of the Holder at $.50 per share. Warrants to purchase 1,775,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 expired late in 2019.

In September 2017, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Bank Agreement”) with First Financial Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank Agreement provided for a senior credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) from the Bank consisting of: (1) a term loan in the amount of $4.5 million (the “Term Loan”); and (2) a development line of credit of up to $1.6 million (the “Development Line of Credit”) for the opening of three Craft Pizza & Pub restaurants. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bore interest at a variable annual rate up to the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 7.25%. All outstanding amounts owed under the Bank Agreement matured in September 2022, however those Notes were all paid in full from the $8.0 million new financing in February 2020.

On February 7, 2020, the Company entered into the Agreement with the Purchaser pursuant to which the Company issued to the Purchaser the Senior Note in the initial principal amount of $8.0 million. The Company has used or will use the net proceeds of the Agreement as follows: (i) $4.2 million was used to repay the Company’s then-existing bank debt which were in the original amount of $6.1 million; (ii) $1,275,000 was used to repay the portion of the Company’s existing subordinated convertible debt the maturity date of which most had not previously been extended, (iii) debt issuance costs; and (iv) the remaining net proceeds will be used for working capital or other general corporate purposes, including development of new Company-owned Craft Pizza & Pub locations.

The Senior Note bears cash interest of LIBOR, as defined in the Agreement, plus 7.75%. In addition, the Senior Note requires PIK Interest of 3% per annum, which will be added to the principal amount of the Senior Note. Interest is payable in arrears on the last calendar day of each month. The Senior Note matures on February 7, 2025. The Senior Note does not require any fixed principal payments until February 28, 2023, at which time required monthly payments of principal in the amount of $33,333 begin and continue until maturity. The Senior Note requires the Company to make additional payments on the principal balance of the Senior Note based on its consolidated excess cash flow, as defined in the Agreement.

On April 25, 2020, the Company received a loan under the Payroll Protection Program in the amount of $715,000. It is anticipated this note will be forgiven. The funds, according to the provision in the CARES Act, may be used for payroll costs including payroll benefits, interest on mortgage obligations incurred before February 15, 2020, rent under lease agreements in force before February 15, 2020 and utilities for which service began before February 15, 2020.

As a result of the financial arrangements described above and the Company’s cash flow projections, the Company believes it will have sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations and to carry out its current business plan. The Company’s cash flow projections for the next two years are primarily based on the Company’s strategy of growing the non-traditional franchising/licensing venues, operating Craft Pizza & Pub locations and pursuing an aggressive franchising program for Craft Pizza & Pub restaurants. The Company intends to open additional Company-owned Craft Pizza & Pub restaurants in the future.

The Company does not anticipate that any of the recently issued pronouncements relating to the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards will have a material impact on its Consolidated Statement of Operations or its Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements contained above in Management’s Discussion and Analysis concerning the Company’s future revenues, profitability, financial resources, market demand and product development are forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) relating to the Company that are based on the beliefs of the management of the Company, as well as assumptions and estimates made by and information currently available to the Company’s management. The Company’s actual results in the future may differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties that exist in the Company’s operations and business environment, including, but not limited to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, competitive factors and pricing pressures, non-renewal of franchise agreements, shifts in market demand, the success of new franchise programs, including the Noble Roman’s Craft Pizza & Pub format, the Company’s ability to successfully operate an increased number of Company-owned restaurants, general economic conditions, changes in demand for the Company’s products or franchises, the Company’s ability to service its loans, the impact of franchise regulation, the success or failure of individual franchisees and changes in prices or supplies of food ingredients and labor as well as the factors discussed under “Risk Factors "above in this annual report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions or estimates prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to its variable-rate debt. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding variable interest-bearing debt in the aggregate principal amount of $4.3 million. The Company’s current borrowings were at a variable rate tied to LIBOR plus 7.25 per annum adjusted on a monthly basis. Based on its current debt structure, for each 1% increase in LIBOR the Company would incur increased interest expense of approximately $39,000 over the succeeding 12-month period.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Noble Roman’s, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Note l: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization: The Company, with two wholly-owned subsidiaries, sells and services franchises and licenses and operates Company-owned foodservice locations for one non-traditional location and five traditional restaurants called Craft Pizza & Pub under the trade names “Noble Roman’s Pizza”, “Noble Roman’s Craft Pizza & Pub” and “Tuscano’s Italian Style Subs". Unless the context otherwise indicates, reference to the “Company” are to Noble Roman’s, Inc. and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Noble Roman’s, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Pizzaco, Inc. and RH Roanoke, Inc. Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Inventories: Inventories consist of food, beverage, restaurant supplies, restaurant equipment and marketing materials and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value.

Property and Equipment: Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from five years to 20 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of estimated useful life or the term of the lease including likely renewals. Construction and equipment in progress are stated at cost for leasehold improvements, equipment for a new restaurant being constructed and for pre-opening costs of any restaurant not yet open as of the date of the statements.

Significant Accounting Policies: There have been no significant changes in the Company's accounting policies from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K except for those policies described below in relation to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right-of-use assets ("ROU"), and lease liability obligations are included in the Company's balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liability obligations represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's leases typically do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The ROU asset also includes in the lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and lease direct costs. The Company's lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company adopted the new standard to all material leases existing on January 1, 2019 and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit on that date.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Includes actual cash balance. The cash is not pledged nor are there any withdrawal restrictions.

Advertising Costs: The Company records advertising costs consistent with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)“Other Expense” topic and “Advertising Costs” subtopic. This statement requires the Company to expense advertising production costs the first time the production material is used.

25

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the FASB’s ASC requires companies to determine fair value based on the price that would be received to sell the assets or paid to transfer to liability to a market participant. The fair value measurements and disclosure topic emphasis that fair value is a market based measurement, not an entity specific measurement. The guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level One: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level Two: Observable market –based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by

market data.

Level Three: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. After a thorough review by management in 2018, the Company permanently wrote off $1.3 million and created an additional reserve for possible non-collection of $2.8 million. After a review in 2019 and also considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was decided to add an additional reserve for possible non-collections of $1.3 million. The actual amount the Company eventually collects may differ from this estimation. The Company evaluates its property and equipment and related costs periodically to assess whether any impairment indications are present, including recurring operating losses and significant adverse changes in legal factors or business climate that affect the recovery of recorded value. If any impairment of an individual asset is evident, a loss would be provided to reduce the carrying value to its estimated fair value.

Debt Issuance Costs: Debt issuance cost is presented on the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the associated liability. Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense ratably over the term of the applicable debt. The unamortized debt issuance cost at December 31, 2019 was $800,000.

Intangible Assets: The Company recorded goodwill of $278,000 as a result of the acquisition of RH Roanoke, Inc. of certain assets of a former franchisee of the Company. Goodwill has an indeterminable life and is assessed for impairment at least annually and more frequently as triggering events may occur. In making this assessment, management relies on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and transactions and marketplace data. Any impairment losses determined to exist are recorded in the period the determination is made. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment is involved in performing goodwill and other intangible assets valuation analyses, thus there is risk that the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets may be overstated or understated. The Company has elected to perform the annual impairment assessment of recorded goodwill as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year. The results of this annual impairment assessment indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit as of December 31, 2019, exceeded the carrying or book value, including goodwill, and therefore recorded goodwill was not subject to impairment.

Royalties, Administrative and Franchise Fees: Royalties are generally recognized as income monthly based on a percentage of monthly sales of franchised or licensed restaurants and from audits and other inspections as they come due and payable by the franchisee. Fees from the retail products in grocery stores are recognized monthly based on the distributors’ sale of those retail products to the grocery stores or grocery store distributors. Administrative fees are recognized as income monthly as earned. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 effective January 2018 which did not materially affect the Company's recognition of royalties, fees from the sale of retail products in grocery stores, administrative fees or sales from Company-owned restaurants. However, initial franchise fees and related contract costs are now deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreements, generally five to ten years. The effect to comparable periods within the financial statements is not material as the initial franchise fee for the non-traditional franchise is intended to defray the initial contract cost, and the franchise fees and contract costs initially incurred and paid approximate the relative amortized franchise fees and contract costs for those same periods.

Exit or Disposal Activities Related to Discontinued Operations: The Company records exit or disposal activity for discontinued operations when management commits to an exit or disposal plan and includes those charges under results of discontinued operations, as required by the ASC “Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations” topic.

Income Taxes: The Company provides for current and deferred income tax liabilities and assets utilizing an asset and liability approach along with a valuation allowance as appropriate. The Company evaluated its deferred tax assets in 2018 and determined that $1,422,960 of the deferred tax credits may expire in 2019 and 2020 before they are fully utilized, which increased the Company’s tax expense for 2018 and reduced the deferred tax credit on the balance sheet. The Company again evaluated its deferred tax assets in 2019 and determined that $1.7 million of its net operating loss carry-forward may expire before they are used resulting in an additional $400 thousand in tax expense in 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the net operating loss carry-forward was approximately $11.8 million which expires between the years 2020 and 2036. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Tax Act”), the Company reduced the carrying value of the tax impact of the net operating loss carry-forward to reflect the new highest corporate income tax rate of 21% versus the old rate of 34%.

26

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require the Company to examine its tax positions for uncertain positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions that are more likely than not to change in the next 12 months, or that would not sustain an examination by applicable taxing authorities. The Company’s policy is to recognize penalties and interest as incurred in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. None were included for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019. The Company’s federal and various state income tax returns for 2016 through 2019 are subject to examination by the applicable tax authorities, generally for three years after the later of the original or extended due date.

Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share: Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective year. When dilutive, stock options and warrants are included as share equivalents using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2017:

Income<br><br><br>(Numerator) Shares<br><br><br>(Denominator) Per Share<br><br><br>Amount

Subsequent Events: The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated statements were issued and filed with the annual report on Form 10-K. On February 7, 2020, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Promissory Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Corbel Capital Partners SBIC, L.P. (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued to the Purchaser a senior secured promissory note (the “Senior Note”) in the initial principal amount of $8.0 million. The Company has used or will use the net proceeds of the Agreement as follows: (i) $4.2 million was used to repay the Company’s then-existing bank debt which was in the original amount of $6.1 million; (ii) $1,275,000 was used to repay the portion of the Company’s existing subordinated convertible debt the maturity date of which most had not previously been extended; (iii) debt issuance costs; and (iv) the remaining net proceeds will be used for working capital or other general corporate purposes, including development of new Company-owned Craft Pizza & Pub locations.

The Senior Note bears cash interest of LIBOR, as defined in the Agreement, plus 7.75%. In addition, the Senior Note requires payment-in-kind interest (“PIK Interest”) of 3% per annum, which will be added to the principal amount of the Senior Note. Interest is payable in arrears on the last calendar day of each month. The Senior Note matures on February 7, 2025. The Senior Note does not require any fixed principal payments until February 28, 2023, at which time required monthly payments of principal in the amount of $33,333 begin and continue until maturity. The Senior Note requires the Company to make additional payments on the principal balance of the Senior Note based on its consolidated excess cash flow, as defined in the Agreement.

In conjunction with the borrowing under the Senior Note, the Company issued to the Purchaser a warrant (the “Corbel Warrant”) to purchase up to 2,250,000 shares of Common Stock. The Corbel Warrant entitles the Purchaser to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time: (i) 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.57 per share (“Tranche 1”), (ii) 900,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.72 per share (“Tranche 2”), and (iii) 150,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.97 per share (“Tranche 3”). The Purchaser is required to exercise the Corbel Warrant with respect to Tranche 1 if the Common Stock is trading at $1.40 per share or higher for a specified period, and is further required to exercise the Corbel Warrant with respect to Tranche 2 if the Common Stock is trading at $1.50 per share or higher for a specified period. Cashless exercise of the Corbel Warrant is only permitted with respect to Tranche 3. The Purchaser has the right, within six months after the issuance of any shares under the Corbel Warrant, to require the Company to repurchase such shares for cash or for Put Notes, at the Company's discretion. The Corbel Warrant expires on the sixth anniversary of the date of its issuance.

On March 16, 2020, by order of the Governor of the State of Indiana (the “Governor”), all restaurants within Indiana were ordered to close for inside dining. Due to the Order, all Craft Pizza & Pub restaurants have been open for carry-out only primarily through the Company’s Pizza Valet system and third-party delivery providers. On May 1, 2020, the Governor issued another order allowing restaurants to be open for inside dining for up to 50% of capacity as of May 11, 2020, and on June 14, 2020 up to 75% of capacity, plus bars may open up to 50% of capacity, and on July 4, 2020 restaurants and bars may resume at 100% capacity. As the duration and scope of the pandemic is uncertain, these Orders are subject to further modification which could adversely affect the Company.

On April 25, 2020, the Company borrowed under the Payroll Protection Program in the amount of $715,000. The Company anticipates this note will be. The funds, according to the provision in the CARES Act, may be used for payroll costs including payroll benefits, interest on mortgage obligations incurred before February 15, 2020, rent under lease agreements in force before February 15, 2020 and utilities for which service began before February 15, 2020.

In February 2020, as discussed in Item 2. Properties, a lease for the Brownsburg location became effective which expires in February 2030. The obligation under this lease is included in future obligations of $7 million under operating leases, as described in Note 5.

No subsequent event required recognition or disclosure except as discussed above.

Note 2: Accounts Receivable

At December 31, 2018 and 2019, the carrying value of the Company’s accounts receivable has been reduced to anticipated realizable value. As a result of this reduction of carrying value, the Company anticipates that substantially all of its net receivables reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2019 will be collected. The allowance to reduce the receivables to anticipated net realizable value at December 31, 2018 was $4.3 million and at December 31, 2019 was $5.6 million.

Adjustments for the valuation of receivables has been $440,000 in 2017, $4.1 million in 2018 and $1.3 million in 2019.

Other assets, as of December 31, 2019, includes security deposit of $14,600, cash value of life insurance of $199,000 and long-term accounts receivables of $4.0 million, which is net of $5.6 million valuation allowance.

Long-term receivables from franchisees represent receivables from approximately 80 different non-traditional franchisees (Noble Romans franchises located within a host facility). These receivables originated from a variety of circumstances, including where audits of a number of the non-traditional franchises’ reporting of sales found them to be underreporting their sales and, therefore, underpaying their royalty obligations. In other instances, some franchisees were selling non-Noble Roman’s products under Noble Roman’s trademark. In addition, some receivables arose from the Company incurring legal fees to enforce the franchise agreements and other collection cost which adds to the receivables in accordance with the agreements. Some of the receivables were generated by early termination of the franchise agreements. These receivables have been classified as long-term since collections are expected to extend over more than a one-year cycle.

Note 3: Notes Payable

In September 2017, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Bank Agreement”) with First Financial Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank Agreement provided for a senior credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to be provided by the Bank consisting of: (i) a term loan in the amount of $4.5 million (the “Term Loan”); and (ii) a development line of credit of up to $1.6 million (the “Development Line of Credit”). Borrowings under the Credit Facility bore interest at a variable annual rate equal to the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 7.25%. The Term Loan and the Development Line of Credit were to be repaid monthly based on a seven-year term. All outstanding amounts owed under the Bank Agreement were to mature on September 13, 2022. In conjunction with a new credit facility entered into on February 7, 2020, all money still owed to the Bank was repaid in full.

At December 31, 2019, the balance of the Credit Facility was comprised of:

Principal<br>Due $4,272,023
Unamortized<br>Loan Closing Cost (401,320)
Carrying<br>Value $3,870,703

The Bank Agreement contained affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, covenants requiring the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. The Company’s obligations under the Bank Agreement were secured by first priority liens on all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets and a pledge of all of the Company’s equity interest in such subsidiaries. In addition, Paul W. Mobley, the Company’s Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, executed a limited guarantee only of borrowings under the Development Line of Credit which was to be released upon achieving certain financial ratios by the Company’s Craft Pizza & Pub locations. These loans were repaid in full on February 7, 2020.

In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company issued 32 Units, for a purchase price of $50,000 per Unit, or $1,600,000 in the aggregate and, in January 2017, the Company issued another 16 Units, or an additional $800,000 in the aggregate. Each $50,000 Unit consisted of a convertible, subordinated, unsecured promissory note (the “Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000 and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share. The Company issued Units to investors including the following related parties: Paul W. Mobley, the Company’s Executive Chairman, Chief Financial Officer and a director of the Company ($150,000); and Herbst Capital Management, LLC, the principal of which is Marcel Herbst, a director of the Company ($200,000).

Interest on the Notes accrued at the annual rate of 10% and is payable quarterly in arrears. Initially, the Notes mature, and the Warrants expire, three years after issuance. However, in December 2018, the Company offered to extend the maturity of the Notes and the expiration date of the Warrants to January 2023. Certain of the holders of the Notes and Warrants accepted the Company’s offer. Accordingly, of the principal amount of the Notes, holders of $775,000 in principal amount extended their Notes until January 31, 2023. In 2018 and 2019, holders of $500,000 in principal amount of the Notes converted those Notes to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the terms of the Note. In February 2020, in conjunction with the Company’s refinancing of its debt, $1,275,000 in principal amount of those Notes was repaid leaving a balance of $625,000 which mature on January 31, 2023. The holders of the remaining $625,000 principal amount of Notes can elect, at their option any time prior to maturity, convert those Notes to common stock in accordance with the terms of the Notes.

The Warrants issued with the Notes provide for an exercise price of $1.00 per share of Common Stock (subject to anti-dilution adjustments). All warrants were canceled with the repayment of the Notes except Warrants issued with $625,000 principal amount of Notes that were extended to the new maturity of January 31, 2023. Subject to certain limitations, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants at a price of $0.001 per share of Common Stock subject to the Warrant upon 30 days’ notice if the daily average weighted trading price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $2.00 per share for a period of 30 consecutive trading days.

Placement agent fees and other origination costs of the Notes are deducted from the carrying value of the Notes as original issue discount (“OID”). The OID is being amortized over the term of the Notes.

At December 31, 2019, the balance of the Notes is comprised of:

Face<br>Value $1,900,000
Unamortized<br>OID (398,718)
Carrying<br>Value $1,501,282

On February 7, 2020, the Company entered into Agreement with the Purchaser pursuant to which the Company issued to the Purchaser a senior Note in the initial principal amount of $8.0 million. The Company has used or will use the net proceeds of the Agreement as follows: (i) $4.2 million was used to repay the Company’s then-existing bank debt which was in the original amount of $6.1 million; (ii) $1,275,000 was used to repay the portion of the Company’s existing subordinated convertible debt the maturity date of which most had not previously been extended; (iii) debt issuance cost; and (iv) the remaining net proceeds will be used for working capital or other general corporate purposes, including development of new Company-owned Craft Pizza & Pub locations. See Note 1 under the heading “Subsequent Events” for the description of the terms of the Agreement and Senior Note.

Total cash and non-cash interest accrued on the Company’s indebtedness in 2019 was $775,000 and in 2018 was $655,000.

Note 4: Royalties and Fees

Approximately $242,000, $305,000 and $307,000 are included in 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively, royalties and fees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for amortized initial franchise fees. Also included in royalties and fees were approximately $44,000, $74,000 and $70,000 in 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively, for equipment commissions. Most of the cost for the services required to be performed by the Company are incurred prior to the franchise fee income being recorded which is based on contractual liability for the franchisee. Such incremental costs, include training, design and related travel cost to new franchisees. The deferred contract income and costs both approximated $699,000 on December 31, 2018 and $818,000 on December 31, 2019.

In conjunction with the development of Noble Roman’s Pizza and Tuscano’s Italian Style Subs, the Company has devised its own recipes for many of the ingredients that go into the making of its products (“Proprietary Products”). The Company contracts with various manufacturers to manufacture its Proprietary Products in accordance with the Company’s recipes and formulas and to sell those products to authorized distributors at a contract price which includes an allowance for use of the Company’s recipes. The manufacturing contracts also require the manufacturers to hold those allowances in trust and to remit those allowances to the Company on a periodic basis, usually monthly. The Company recognizes those allowances in revenue as earned based on sales reports from the distributors.

There were 3,064 franchised/licensed or Company-owned outlets in operation on December 31, 2019 and

3,041 on December 31, 2018. During 2019, 35 new franchised/licensed were opened and 12 franchised outlets left the system. Grocery stores are accustomed to adding products for a period of time, removing them for a period of time and possibly re-offering them. Therefore, it is unknown how many grocery store licenses, out of the total count of 2,402, have left the system.

Note 5: Liabilities for Leased Facilities

The Company has future obligations of $7.0 million under current operating leases as follows: due in less than one year $771,000, due in one to three years $2.4 million, due in three to five years $1.7 million and due in more than five years $2.2 million.

For implementing the new accounting policies for leases, the Company used a weighted average discount rate of 7% and the weighted average lease term of 7.3 years. The Company recorded $134,545 in lease expense more than cash actually paid in 2019 for the leases.

Note 6: Income Taxes

The Company had a deferred tax asset, as a result of prior operating losses, of $4.8 million at December 31, 2018 and $3.9 million at December 31, 2019, which expires between the years 2020 and 2036. The net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $11.8 million so the Company will have no obligation to pay income tax on the amount of that operating loss carry-forward, however the carrying value of that deferred tax asset was significantly reduced by the 2017 Tax Act which lowered the highest corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21%. In 2017, 2018 and 2019, the Company used deferred benefits to offset its tax expense of $442,000, recorded a tax benefit of $503,000, and recorded a tax benefit of $468,000 respectively, and tax benefits from loss on discontinued operations of $57,000 in 2017 and $12,000 in 2018, however, the Company recorded a tax expense of $4.1 million in 2017 to lower the carrying value of the deferred tax credit as a result of the corporate tax rate being reduced from 34% to 21%, as explained above. The Company also recorded $1.4 million in additional tax in 2018 after evaluating its deferred tax assets and determined that $1.4 million of the deferred tax credits may expire in 2019 and 2020 before they are fully utilized. The Company also reviewed its operating loss carry-forward in 2019 and determined that $1.7 million of that loss may expire before it is used and, as a result, recorded an additional $400,000 in tax expense for 2019. As a result of the loss carry-forwards, the Company did not pay any income taxes in 2017, 2018 and 2019. There are no other material differences between reported income tax expense or benefit and the income tax expense or benefit that would result from applying the Federal and state statutory tax rates.

Note 7: Common Stock

During 2016 and 2017, the Company issued Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2.4 million convertible to common stock within three years at the rate of $.50 per share and Warrants to purchase up to 2.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share. During 2018, holders of $400,000 in principal amount of Notes converted into 800,000 shares of common stock. In 2019, holders of $100,000 in principal amount of Notes converted into 200,000 shares of common stock. In February 2020, in conjunction with the Company’s refinancing, $1,275,000 in principal amount of Notes were repaid terminating the holders’ right to convert and canceling their warrants. Now outstanding are $625,000 principal amount of Notes convertible to stock at $0.50 per share and warrants to purchase 625,000 shares of stock at $1.00 per share.

The Company has an incentive stock option plan for key employees, officers and directors. The options are generally exercisable three years after the date of grant and expire ten years after the date of grant. The option prices are the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. At December 31, 2019, the Company had the following employee stock options outstanding:

# Common<br>Shares<br><br><br>Issuable Exercise<br>Price
46,500 $0.58
155,000 0.58
1,400,000 0.58

35,000 0.50
372,500 0.51
332,500 0.623
474,500 0.60

As of December 31, 2019, options for 3,488,834 shares were exercisable.

The Company adopted the modified prospective method to account for stock option grants, which does not require restatement of prior periods. Under the modified prospective method, the Company is required to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption, net of an estimate of expected forfeitures. Compensation expense is based on the estimated fair values of stock options determined on the date of grant and is recognized over the related vesting period, net of an estimate of expected forfeitures which is based on historical forfeitures.

The Company estimates the fair value of its option awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The risk-free interest rate is based on external data while all other assumptions are determined based on the Company’s historical experience with stock options. The following assumptions were used for grants in 2017, 2018 and 2019:

Expected volatility30% to 20%

Expected dividend yield None

Expected term (in years) 3

Risk-free interest rate 1.68 to 2.82%

The following table sets forth the number of options outstanding as of December 31, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 and the number of options granted, exercised or forfeited during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019:

No cash was used to settle equity instruments under share-based payment arrangements.

Note 8: Statements of Financial Accounting Standards

The Company does not believe that the recently issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards will have any material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations or its Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, its leasing standard for both lessees and lessors. Under its core principle, a lessee will recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all arrangements with terms longer than 12 months. The new standard took effect in 2019 for public business entities and, therefore, is included in the current financial statements. This had the effect of increasing the value of the assets and liabilities of the Company and incurred an additional expense for rent on the Consolidated Statement of Operations by $134,545 in 2019.

Note 9: Loss from Discontinued Operations

The Company made the decision in late 2008 to discontinue the business of operating traditional quick service restaurants. As a result, the Company charged off or dramatically lowered the carrying value of all receivables related to the traditional restaurants and accrued future estimated expenses related to the estimated cost to prosecute a lawsuit related to those discontinued operations. The ongoing right to receive passive income in the form of royalties is not a part of the discontinued segment.

The Company reported a net loss on discontinued operations of $93,000 in 2017. This consisted primarily of rent and other costs related to a location that was part of the operations discontinued in 2008.

The Company reported a net loss on discontinued operations of $37,800 in 2018. This consisted of rent related to a location that was a part of the operations discontinued in 2008. The obligation of rent on this location has been satisfied and no further loss is expected. There are no known contingencies with regard to the operations discontinued in 2008 that are expected to result in any loss.

Note 10: Contingencies

The Company, from time to time, is or may become involved in litigation or regulatory proceedings arising out of its normal business operations.

Currently, there are no such pending proceedings which the Company considers to be material.

Note 11: Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

The following is a summary of transactions to which the Company and certain officers and directors of the Company are a party or have a financial interest. The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a policy that all transactions between the Company and its officers, directors, principal shareholders and other affiliates must be approved by a majority of the Company’s disinterested directors, and be conducted on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

Of the 48 Units sold in the private placement which began in October 2016, three Units were purchased by Paul W. Mobley, Executive Chairman, and four Units were purchased by Marcel Herbst, Director. Each Unit consists of a Note in the principal amount of $50,000 and a Warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These transactions were all done on the same terms and conditions as all of the independent investors who purchased the other 41 Units. The Notes, at the time of issue, were to mature three years after issue date. In late 2018, the Company sent an offer to each remaining Note holder offering to extend the maturity of the Notes to January 31, 2023. Holders of $775,000 in principal amount of the Notes accepted that offer of extension including the Notes held by Paul W. Mobley and Herbst Capital Management, LLC. In conjunction with the refinancing of the Company in February 2020, Notes held by Paul Mobley were included in the $1,275,000 in principal amount of Notes that were repaid out of the proceeds of the new financing.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

NOBLE ROMAN’S, INC.

Indianapolis, Indiana

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NOBLE ROMAN’S, INC. (the “Company”) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and subsidiaries at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Change in Accounting Method Related to Leases

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for leases in 2019 due to the adoption of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2007.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and includes those policies and procedures that:

(1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

(2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

(3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of applicable limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 5 defines a material weakness as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A deficiency in internal control over reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.

Our management, including Paul W. Mobley, the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Financial Officer, and A. Scott Mobley, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Our management has concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting are effective.

There have been no changes in internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, Paul W. Mobley, the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Financial Officer, and A. Scott Mobley, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

.

The Company has reviewed all transactions to which the Company and officers and directors of the Company are a party or have a financial interest. The board of directors of the Company has adopted a policy that all transactions between the Company and its officers, directors, principal shareholders and other affiliates must be approved by a majority of the Company’s disinterested directors, and be conducted on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

Of the 48 Units sold in the private placement which began in October 2016, three Units were purchased by Paul W. Mobley, Executive Chairman, and four Units were purchased by Marcel Herbst, Director. Each Unit consists of a Note in the principal amount of $50,000 and a Warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These transactions were all on the same terms and conditions as all of the independent investors who purchased the other 41 Units. The Notes, at the time of issue, were to mature three years after issue date. In late 2018, the Company sent an offer to each remaining Note holder offering to extend the maturity of the Notes to January 31, 2023. Holders of $775,000 in principal amount of the Notes accepted that offer of extension including the Notes held by Paul W. Mobley and Herbst Capital Management, LLC. In conjunction with the refinancing of the Company in February 2020, Notes held by Paul Mobley were included in the $1,275,000 in principal amount of Notes that were repaid out of the proceeds of the new financing.

The Company’s board of directors is currently comprised of: Paul W. Mobley, our Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer; A. Scott Mobley, our President and Chief Executive Officer; Douglas H. Coape-Arnold; Marcel Herbst; and William Wildman. For the purpose of determining director independence, the Company has adopted the New York Stock Exchange definition of independence. The board of directors has determined that Messrs. Coape- Arnold, Herbst and Wildman are independent directors under that definition.

The following table presents fees for professional audit services rendered by Somerset CPAs for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of our quarterly financial statements, and fees billed for other services rendered by Somerset during 2019 and 2018.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time or from time to time following the Original Issue Date and prior to 5:00 p.m. Central time on the first six (6) year anniversary of the date hereof or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day (such period, the “Exercise Period”), the Holder of this Warrant may exercise this Warrant for all or any part of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder (subject to adjustment as provided herein).

Exercise of Warrant.

(a) Exercise Procedure. This Warrant may be exercised by Holder from time to time on any Business Day during the Exercise Period, for all or any part of the unexercised Warrant Shares, upon:

(i) surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction), together with an Exercise Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an “Exercise Agreement”), duly completed (including specifying the number and type of Warrant Shares to be purchased) and executed; and

(ii) payment to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3(b).

4

(b) Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price. Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made at the option of the Holder as expressed in the Exercise Agreement, by the following methods:

(i) In the case of the Tranche 1 Shares, Tranche 2 Shares or Tranche 3 Shares, by delivery to the Company of a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price;

(ii)

in the case of the Tranche 3 Shares:

(A) by instructing the Company to withhold a number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the Exercise Date equal to such Aggregate Exercise Price (i.e. a “cashless exercise”);

(B) by surrendering to the Company (x) Warrant Shares previously acquired by the Holder with an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the Exercise Date equal to such Aggregate Exercise Price and/or (y) other securities of the Company having a value as of the Exercise Date equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price (which value in the case of debt securities shall be the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, in the case of preferred stock shall be the liquidation value thereof plus accumulated and unpaid dividends and in the case of shares of Common Stock shall be the Fair Market Value thereof); or

(C)

any combination of the foregoing.

(iii) In the event of any withholding of Warrant Shares or surrender of equity securities pursuant to Section 3(b)(ii)(A), 3(b)(ii)(B) or 3(b)(ii)(C) above where the number of shares whose value is equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price is not a whole number, the number of shares withheld by or surrendered to the Company shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) based on the incremental fraction of a share being so withheld by or surrendered to the Company in an amount equal to the product of (x) such incremental fraction of a share being so withheld or surrendered multiplied by (y) in the case of Common Stock, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock as of the Exercise Date, and, in all other cases, the value thereof as of the Exercise Date as determined in accordance with Section 3(b)(ii)(B)(y) above.

(c) Delivery of Stock Certificates. Upon (i) any Forced Exercise pursuant to Section 3(i) or (ii) Holder’s exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(a), including delivery to the Company of the Exercise Agreement, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (in accordance with Section 3(b) hereof), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, execute (or cause to be executed) and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to

5

the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in Section 3(d) hereof, if applicable. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall be in such denomination or denominations as the exercising Holder shall reasonably request in the Exercise Agreement and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or such other Person’s name as shall be designated in the Exercise Agreement. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates of Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date.

(d) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional Warrant Share upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Share that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall either (i) round the number of Warrant Shares to be issued up to the next whole number or (ii) pay to such Holder an amount in cash (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) equal to the product of (A) such fraction multiplied by (B) the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share on the Exercise Date.

(e) Delivery of New Warrant. Unless the purchase rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares being issued in accordance with Section 3(c) hereof, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unexpired and unexercised Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.

(f) Valid Issuance of Warrant and Warrant Shares; Payment of Taxes. With respect to the exercise of this Warrant, the Company hereby represents, covenants and agrees:

(i) This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.

(ii) All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be, upon issuance, and the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that such Warrant Shares are, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, issued without violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company and free and clear of all taxes, liens, claims, encumbrances and charges.

(iii) The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such Warrant Shares are issued without violation by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares may be listed at the time of such exercise (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).

6

(iv) The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Warrant Shares, immediately upon such exercise, to be listed on any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares are listed at the time of such exercise.

(v) The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares to any Person other than the Holder or its designated affiliates, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

(g) Conditional Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with or with the expectation of the completion of a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

(h) Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and, if applicable, the par value per Warrant Share shall at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Exercise Price. The Company shall not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(i) Forced Exercise. After the Original Issue Date, if the Conditions to Forced Exercise set forth below then are satisfied, the Company may elect to require that the Holder exercise this Warrant with respect to the Tranche 1 Shares or the Tranche 2 Shares, as applicable, as set forth in this Section 3(i), by delivering to the Holder a written notice in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (“Forced Exercise Notice”), duly completed and executed on behalf of the Company; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Holder may elect not to exercise this Warrant pursuant to any Forced Exercise Notice if the Holder delivers written notice to the Company to such effect and confirms in writing that it forfeits its right to exercise the Warrants with respect to those Tranche 1 Shares or those Tranche 2 Shares that are subject to the Forced Exercise Notice, as applicable. If the Conditions to Forced Exercise cease to be met prior to the receipt of the Notice of Exercise by the Holder, the Forced Exercise Notice shall be deemed withdrawn, invalid, and null and void ab initio. For purposes of this Section 3(i):

7

(i) “Conditions to Forced Exercise” means that each of the following conditions have been and continue to be met as of the Holder’s receipt of the Forced Exercise Notice and as of the issuance of any Warrant Shares pursuant thereto:

(A) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock or other applicable capital stock of the Company then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant exceeds (x) in the case of a forced exercise of the Warrant with respect to the Tranche 1 Shares, $1.40 per share (subject to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions affecting the Common Stock or other applicable capital stock after the Original Issue Date) and (y) in the case of a forced exercise of the Warrant with respect to the Tranche 2 Shares, $1.50 per share (subject to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions affecting the Common Stock or other applicable capital stock after the Original Issue Date), in each case for each of the forty-five (45) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of delivery of the Forced Exercise Notice;

(B) a registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is effective and available for the immediate resale of any and all Tranche 1 Shares or Tranche 2 Shares, as applicable, to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the Forced Exercise Notice;

(C) the Common Stock is quoted on OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association, or designated for quotation on the NASDAQ Global Market or another U.S. national securities exchange and must not have been suspended from trading on such market nor shall delisting or suspension by such market been threatened or pending either (x) in writing by such market, or (y) by falling below the minimum listing maintenance requirements of the market on which it then is trading; and

(D) the Company otherwise must be in material compliance with and must not have breached in any material respect any provision, covenant, representation or warranty of any Note Document (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) which breach remains uncured.

(ii) “Weighted Average Price” means, with respect to the Common Stock or other applicable capital stock then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as of any applicable date(s), the dollar volume-weighted average trading price for such security

(A) on the domestic securities exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed on the applicable date(s) or (B) if on any such applicable date(s) the Common Stock or other applicable capital stock then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is not listed on a domestic securities exchange, the dollar volume-weighted trading average price of the Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association for such applicable date(s).

8

(j) Holder’s Exercise Limitations.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant shall be limited to the number of Warrant Shares that (after giving effect to such proposed exercise and issuance) can be beneficially owned by the Holder, Holder’s affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates (such other Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), without exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Warrant Shares beneficially owned by the Holder, Holder’s affiliates and any applicable Attribution Parties shall include the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder, Holder’s affiliates or any applicable Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Convertible Securities or Options) that (x) are beneficially owned by the Holder, Holder’s affiliates and any applicable Attribution Parties and (y) are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3(j), “beneficial ownership” shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, a determination as to any “group” status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(ii) To the extent that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applies, the determination of whether and to what extent this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any of its Attribution Parties) and the portion of this Warrant that is exercisable shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of an Exercise Agreement and the other items required to exercise this Warrant as provided in Section 3(a) above shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether and which portion of this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with Holder’s affiliates and any applicable Attribution Parties), in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to independently verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 3(j), in determining the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, Holder may rely on the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice from the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Business Days confirm orally and in writing to Holder the number of shares of Common

9

Stock then issued and outstanding. In any case, the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to any conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities or Options in accordance with their terms, including this Warrant, held by the Holder, Holder’s affiliates or any applicable Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.

(iv) The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.9999% of the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon the applicable exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation percentage upon notice to the Company; provided, that any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company or such other, later date as may be specified in the notice of increase. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(j) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the purpose and intent of this Section 3(j). To the extent the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applies to limit the number of Warrant Shares issued upon any proposed exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant Shares that are not issued as a result of the Beneficial Ownership Limit shall remain subject to this Warrant and may be issued upon a subsequent exercise of this Warrant in accordance with its terms.

  1. Adjustment to Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the purchase rights granted under this Warrant, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4 (in each case, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4).

(a) Adjustment to Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except as provided in Section 4(c) and except in the case of an event described in either Section 4(e) or Section 4(f), if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, issue or sell, or in accordance with Section 4(d) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock without consideration or for consideration per share less than the applicable Exercise Price(s) in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), then immediately upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), each Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) that is higher than the consideration per share applicable to the issuance and sale (or deemed issuance or sale) in question shall be reduced (and in no event increased) to an Exercise Price equal to the then the Exercise Price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

CP2 = CP1 * (A + B) ÷ (A + C).

10

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

(i) “CP2” shall mean the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such issuance or deemed issuance of shares of Common Stock;

(ii) “CP1” shall mean the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or deemed issuance of Common Stock;

(iii) “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or deemed issuance Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options outstanding immediately prior to such issuance (including the Warrants) or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities outstanding immediately prior to such issuance;

(iv) “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such issuance or deemed issuance of Common Stock had occurred at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such issuance or deemed issuance by CP1); and

(v) “C” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued in such transaction.

(b) Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Adjustment to Exercise Price. Upon any and each adjustment of the Exercise Price as provided in Section 4(a), the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment shall be increased to a number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

(i) the product of (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such adjustment multiplied by (B) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment; by

(ii)

the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

(c) Exceptions To Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, there shall be no adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to any Excluded Issuance.

(d) Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to Exercise Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Section 4(a) hereof, the following shall be applicable:

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell any Options (whether directly or by assumption in a merger, consolidation or otherwise), whether or not such Options or

11

the right to convert, exercise or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, and the lowest price per share (determined as provided in this Section 4(d)(i) and Section 4(d)(iv)) for which any one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon the exercise of any such Option is less than any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Options, then such share of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security issuable upon the exercise of such Option shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price under Section 4(a), at a price per share equal to such lowest price per share). For purposes of this Section 4(d)(i), the lowest price per share for which any one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon the exercise of any such Option shall be equal to the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 4(a)) of the lowest amounts of consideration, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon each of (A) the granting or sale of the Option, plus (B) the exercise of the Option, plus (C) in the case of an Option which relates to Convertible Securities, the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and the conversion, exercise or exchange of the Convertible Security. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4(d)(iii), no further adjustment of the applicable Exercise Price(s) shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options.

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger, consolidation or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right to convert, exercise or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, and the lowest price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 4(d)(iv)) for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any such Convertible Securities is less than any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, then such share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Convertible Securities (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price under Section 4(a)), at a price per share equal to such lowest price per share. For purposes of this Section 4(d)(ii), the lowest price per share for which any one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any such Convertible Security shall be equal to the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 4(a)) of the lowest amounts of consideration, if any, received or receivable by the

12

Company as consideration with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon each of

(A) the granting or sale of the Convertible Security, plus (B) the conversion, exercise or exchange of the Convertible Security. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4(d)(iii),

(x) no further adjustment of any Exercise Price(s) shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (y) no further adjustment of the applicable Exercise Price(s) shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities in accordance with the terms thereof, to the extent adjustments of the Exercise Price already have been made pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 4(d).

(iii) Change in Terms of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon any change in any of (A) the lowest amounts of consideration, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of any Options or Convertible Securities referred to in Section 4(d)(i) or Section 4(d)(ii) hereof, (B) the lowest amounts of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 4(d)(i) or Section 4(d)(ii) hereof, (C) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 4(d)(i) or Section 4(d)(ii) hereof are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any Options referred to in Section 4(d)(i) hereof or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 4(d)(ii) hereof (in each case, other than in connection with an Excluded Issuance), then (whether or not the original issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 4) each Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4 had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed consideration, conversion rate or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment each applicable Exercise Price then in effect is reduced, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment or readjustment shall be correspondingly adjusted or readjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 4(b).

(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold in accordance with Section 4(d) any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor; (B) for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company

13

shall be the market price (as reflected on any securities exchange, quotation system or association or similar pricing system covering such security) for such securities as of the end of business on the date of receipt of such securities; (C) for no specifically allocated consideration in connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the aggregate consideration received by the Company in such transaction as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued or deemed issued in such transaction; or (D) to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued or deemed issued to such owners. The net amount of any cash consideration and the fair value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities shall be determined in each case in good faith by the Board.

(v) Record Date. For purposes of any adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares in accordance with this Section 4, in case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock or other applicable capital stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock or other applicable capital stock, Options or Convertible Securities or

(B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or other applicable capital stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(vi) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock outstanding at any given time shall not include treasury or other shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof or the transfer of such shares among the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries) shall be deemed an issue or sale of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock for the purpose of this Section 4.

(vii) Other Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4(d), if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, make or declare, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock entitled to receive, a dividend or any other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock, Options or Convertible Securities in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock), cash or other property, then, and in each such event, concurrently with the making or payment of any such dividend or distribution, the Holder shall receive the same kind

14

and amount of securities of the Company, cash or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrant been exercised in full into Warrant Shares immediately prior to such event (or the record date for such event, whichever is more favorable to the Holder) and had the Holder held such Warrant Shares through the time such dividend or distribution of securities, cash or property was made to the holders of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock.

(e) Adjustment to Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Company payable in shares of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock or in Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock or into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock or into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 4(e) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination is made or becomes effective, as applicable.

(f) Adjustment to Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered by Section 4(e)), in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock or other applicable capital stock, each Warrant shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Shares then exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the effective time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction (or any applicable record date with respect thereto, whichever is more favorable to the Holder) and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into

15

account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to insure that the provisions of this Section 4 hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing Person is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment in the Exercise Price to the value per share for the Common Stock or other applicable capital stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, and a corresponding immediate adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than the Exercise Price(s) in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction). The provisions of this Section 4(f) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or similar transactions. The Company shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (I) with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4(f), the Holder shall have the right and shall be provided reasonable prior written notice from the Company and a reasonable opportunity to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction (or the record date applicable thereto, whichever is more favorable to the Holder), to give effect to the exercise rights contained in Section 2 instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 4(f) with respect to this Warrant; and (II) if such transaction consists of a merger pursuant to which the Company’s outstanding shares will be converted into the right to exclusively receive cash or other consideration with a value per share less than an applicable Exercise Price then in effect, upon the closing of such transaction, the unexercised portion of the Warrants covering those Warrant Shares with an Exercise Price less than the value of such per share merger consideration shall be cancelled and of no further force or effect.

(g) Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features) occurs, then the Board shall in good faith make an appropriate and equitable adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the purpose and intent of the provisions of this Section 4; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 4(g) shall increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares issuable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 4.

16

(h) Certificate as to Adjustment.

(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Exercise Price, but in any event not later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer of the Company setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

(ii) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of a written request by the Holder, but in any event not later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of Warrant Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities or assets then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

(i)

Notices. In the event:

(i) that the Company shall propose to take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, to vote at a meeting (or by written consent), to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, to receive any other security, or to otherwise exercise any material right as a stockholder; or

(ii) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person; or

(iii) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

then, and in each such case, the Company shall send or cause to be sent to the Holder at least fifteen

(15) days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be and whichever is more favorable to the Holder, for the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent, or (B) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,

17

dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Warrant and the Warrant Shares.

5.

Purchase Rights; Anti-Dilutive Issuances. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to

Section 4 above:

(a) If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding the Company proposes to grant, issue or sell any shares of Common Stock, Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders or beneficial owners of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock of the Company (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder shall be entitled to acquire and exercise, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder would have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance, sale or exercise of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock of the Company are to be determined for the grant, issue, sale or exercise of such Purchase Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to the Purchase Rights granted herein with respect to any Excluded Issuance.

(b) If at any time between the date this Warrant is exercised in whole or in part and the seven (7) year anniversary of the Original Issue Date, any Convertible Securities or Options are converted, exercised or exchanged or any Purchase Rights are issued or exercised as a result of which the percentage of the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding held by Holder is or would be reduced, the Company shall provide prompt written notice to the Holder and shall issue to Holder without any consideration and without reducing the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant (to the extent any portion hereof then remains unexercised) that number of shares of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock of the Company as is necessary for the Holder to maintain or be restored to holding the same percentage of the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding that was held by Holder prior to such conversion, exercise or exchange of Convertible Securities, Options or Purchase Rights, as applicable.

  1. Warrant Share Put Rights. Holder shall have the right by delivering written notice to the Company (a “Put Notice”) at any time and from time to time within six months after the issuance of any specific Warrant Shares under this Warrant to elect to require the Company to purchase some or all of such Warrant Shares then held by the Holder in exchange for cash or, at the election of the Company, Put Notes (such right, the “Warrant Share Put Right”). The Put Notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares which the Holder is electing to require the Company to purchase and the original principal amount of Put Notes to be delivered as consideration therefor. The Put Notes issued by the Company to purchase the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant Shares Put Right shall be issued against the surrender to the Company of the Warrant Shares as to which the Put Notes are issuable and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to the Put Notice multiplied by (a) in the case of Warrant Shares issued upon a forced conversion pursuant to Section 3(i), the greater of (i) the average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock during the forty-five (45) consecutive trading days taken into account in determining the satisfaction of the Conditions to Forced Exercise and

18

(ii) the average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock during the forty-five (45) consecutive trading days preceding the date of delivery of the applicable Put Notice and (b) in the case of Warrant Shares issued upon the election of the Holder to exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(a), (ii) the average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock during the 10 consecutive trading days preceding the date of delivery of the applicable Put Notice.

  1. Transfer of Warrant. This Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, by the Holder without charge to the Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices with a properly completed and duly executed Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, together with funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes described in Section 3(f)(v) in connection with the making of such transfer. Upon such compliance, surrender and delivery and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant, if any, not so assigned and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.

  2. Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder; Limitations on Liability. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein (including Section 4(d)(vii)), prior to the issuance to the Holder of any of the Warrant Shares which the Holder is entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of any Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed in and of itself to confer upon the Holder by virtue of holding this Warrant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed in and of itself as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 8, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.

Replacement on Loss; Division and Combination.

(a) Replacement of Warrant on Loss. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and upon delivery of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being understood that a written indemnification agreement or affidavit of loss of the Holder shall be a sufficient indemnity and in no event shall the Holder be required to post a bond or other security in connection with any loss, theft, destruction or mutilation or the other matters described in this Section 9) and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant for cancellation to the Company, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu hereof, a new Warrant of like tenor and exercisable for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant so lost, stolen,

19

mutilated or destroyed; provided, that, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

(b) Division and Combination of Warrant. This Warrant may be divided or, following any such division of this Warrant, subsequently combined with other Warrants, upon the surrender of this Warrant or Warrants to the Company at its then principal executive offices, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the respective Holders or their agents or attorneys. The Company shall at its own expense execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with such notice. Such new Warrant or Warrants shall be of like tenor to the surrendered Warrant or Warrants and shall be exercisable in the aggregate for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with such notice.

  1. No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action or omission, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the Holder in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor, purpose and intent of this Warrant.

  2. Compliance with the Securities Act; Legend. The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 11 and the restrictive legend requirements set forth on the face of this Warrant and further agrees that such Holder shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). This Warrant and all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Securities Act or unless an exception from registration shall be available to the Holder at the time of issuance of the Warrant Shares) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE OR FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING SUCH SHARES IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT AND IS QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN LAW OR (II) THE TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE ACT AND THE QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN LAW.”

20

  1. Warrant Register. The Company shall keep and properly maintain at its principal executive offices books for the registration of the Warrant and any transfers thereof. The Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name the Warrant is registered on such register as the Holder thereof for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, except any assignment, division, combination or other transfer of the Warrant effected in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.

  2. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand; (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by e-mail (with confirmation of transmission or receipt) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (d) on the fifth day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Such communications must be sent to the respective parties at the addresses indicated below (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 13).

Except to the extent expressly provided in Section 8 to the contrary, the rights and remedies provided in this Warrant are cumulative and are not exclusive of, and are in addition to and not in substitution for, any other rights or remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise.

  2. Equitable Relief. Each of the Company and the Holder acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under this Warrant would give rise to irreparable harm to the other party hereto for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such party of any such obligations, the other party hereto shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction, without any requirement to post a bond or other security or any requirement to prove the inadequacy or unavailability of monetary damages.

21

  1. Entire Agreement. This Warrant (together with the Purchase Agreement and the other Note Documents, including any Put Notes issued pursuant to Section 6, as applicable) constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Warrant with respect to the collective subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.

  2. Successor and Assigns. This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder. Such successors and/or permitted assigns of the Holder shall be deemed to be a Holder for all purposes hereunder.

  3. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Warrant is for the sole benefit of the Company and the Holder and their respective successors and, in the case of the Holder, permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Warrant.

  4. Headings. The headings in this Warrant are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Warrant.

  5. Amendment and Modification; Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Warrant may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver by the Company or the Holder of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Warrant shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

  6. Severability. If any term or provision of this Warrant is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Warrant or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

  7. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Indiana without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Indiana or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Indiana.

  8. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Warrant is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in

22

respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby.

  1. Counterparts. This Warrant may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Warrant delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Warrant.

  2. No Strict Construction. This Warrant shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted.

  3. Survival. The provisions of this Warrant shall survive the expiration of the Exercise Period for so long as the Company or the Holder have any executory rights or obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 5 and 6 hereof.

The Issuer has authorized the issue and sale of $8,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior Secured Promissory Notes due February 7, 2025 (the “Initial Notes”). The Initial Notes shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. No amount repaid or prepaid under any Initial Note may be borrowed again. The Issuer also has authorized the issuance and sale of the Warrants to the Purchasers concurrently with the issuance and sale of the Initial Notes. The Warrants shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit B.

(b) Issuance of Initial Notes and Warrants. The Issuer hereby agrees to sell to each Purchaser on the Closing Date, and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the other Note Documents, and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein and therein, each Purchaser severally agrees to purchase from the Issuer on the Closing Date, Initial Notes in the original principal amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Part (a) of Schedule 1.1 and Warrants to purchase the respective percentages of the Ownership Interests of the respective Purchasers set forth on Part (b) of Schedule 1.1. On the Closing Date, the Issuer will deliver to each Purchaser at the offices of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, 300 South Grand Avenue, Suite 2200, Los Angeles, California, one or more original executed Initial Notes registered in such Purchaser’s name and in the denomination or denominations and in the respective face amounts specified on Part (a) of Schedule 1.1, and Warrants to purchase the respective percentages of the Ownership Interests of the respective Purchasers set forth on Part (b) of Schedule 1.1, against payment of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account of the Issuer in accordance with the wire instructions set forth in the Funds Flow Memorandum. The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non- performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder.

(c) OID. The Initial Notes are being issued with OID in the amount allocated to the respective Initial Notes on Part (a) of Schedule 1.1. The Issuer agrees to report the amount of OID associated with the respective Initial Notes (and to record and report any interest expense attributable to such OID) in accordance with such Schedule and allocation. For purposes of Section 1273 of the Internal Revenue Code, the aggregate issue price of the Initial Notes and the Warrants is $8,000,000. Pursuant to GAAP consistently applied and U.S. Treasury Regulations, the Purchasers and Issuer agree to allocate $7,940,022.88 of the issue price to the Initial Notes and

$59,977.12 to the Warrants, and agree that such allocation reflects the relative fair market values of the Initial Notes and the Warrants as of the Closing Date. The Purchasers and Issuer further agree to recognize and adhere to the determinations and allocations of OID and valuation of the Warrants set forth herein for all federal and state income tax purposes and file all tax returns in a manner consistent herewith.

(d) Put Notes. The Issuer shall issue the Put Notes to the Purchasers if and when required pursuant to the terms of the Warrants. The Put Notes shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. No amount repaid or prepaid under any Put Note may be borrowed again.

1.2 Interest Rates; Payments of Interest.

(a) Interest. Interest on the Initial Notes shall be payable from time to time partially in cash, and partially in the form of PIK Interest, and interest on the Put Notes shall be payable from time to time in cash, in each case, as provided below. Interest on the Notes will be computed as set forth in Section 1.2(b).

(i) Cash Interest on Notes. In addition to the interest payable in accordance with Section 1.2(a)(ii), if applicable, on each Interest Payment Date prior to the Maturity Date applicable thereto and at maturity (whether the stated Maturity Date applicable thereto, as a result of acceleration or otherwise), the Issuer shall pay and discharge in cash to the Agent the interest then accrued on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes (including interest accrued on all additional principal added to the principal balance of the Notes prior to such Interest Payment Date in accordance with Section 1.2(a)(ii)) at a rate equal to, subject to Section 1.2(a)(iii), the LIBOR Rate plus 7.75% per annum. Except as otherwise set forth herein, upon the expiration of an Interest Period, the Notes will continue to accrue interest under this Section 1.2(a)(i) at a rate of interest based on the LIBOR Rate for successive Interest Periods.

(ii) PIK Interest on Initial Notes. In addition to the interest payable in accordance with Section 1.2(a)(i), on each Interest Payment Date prior to the Maturity Date applicable thereto and at maturity (whether the stated Maturity Date applicable thereto, as a result of acceleration or otherwise), the Issuer shall pay interest then accrued on the aggregate

outstanding principal amount of the Initial Notes (including interest accrued on all additional principal added to the principal balance of the Initial Notes prior to such Interest Payment Date in accordance with Section 1.2(a)(ii)) in kind (“PIK Interest”) by adding such amount to the outstanding principal amount of the Initial Notes, at a rate equal to, subject to Section 1.2(a)(iii), 3.00% per annum (the “PIK Interest Rate”). Any PIK Interest added to the then outstanding principal balance of the Initial Notes shall begin accruing interest at the interest rates set forth in Section 1.2(a)(i) and (ii) beginning on and including the Interest Payment Date on which such PIK Interest is added to the principal amount of the Initial Notes. All PIK Interest added to the principal balance of the Initial Notes pursuant to this Section 1.2(a)(ii) will, for all purposes of this Agreement and the Initial Notes, constitute outstanding principal on the Initial Notes.

(iii) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to and not in substitution of any of the Agent’s or any Purchaser’s other rights and remedies with respect to such Event of Default, in the sole discretion of the Agent or the Required Purchasers, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Notes shall bear interest at a per annum cash rate equal to 300 basis points above the per annum cash rate, and if applicable, PIK Interest Rate, otherwise applicable thereunder. In addition, in the sole discretion of the Agent or the Required Purchasers, interest, Expenses, any fees chargeable hereunder, and other amounts due hereunder or under any other Note Document not paid when due shall bear interest at the interest rates set forth in Section 1.2(a)(i) increased by 300 basis points until such overdue payment is paid in full in cash. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent or the Required Purchasers may elect to impose the default rates above effective as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default regardless of the date Agent or the Purchasers give written notice of the election to impose such default rates and regardless of the date Agent or the Purchasers received notice of, or obtained knowledge of, the occurrence of such Event of Default, and such default rates shall automatically apply upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 6.1(g) or (h); provided, however, that other than with respect to Events of Default under Section 6.1(g) or (h), the Issuer shall not be required to pay interest at the default rate for any periods in excess of 120 days prior to the earlier of the date on which the Issuer provided written notice to the Agent regarding the applicable Event of Default and the date on which the Agent provided written notice to the Issuer regarding the applicable Event of Default.

(b) Computation of Interest. All interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall accrue (i) with respect to the Initial Notes, from the Closing Date to the date of repayment of the Initial Notes, and (ii) with respect to any Put Note, from the date such Put Note is issued to the date of repayment of such Put Note, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that if a Note is repaid on the same day on which it is made, then one day’s interest shall be paid on the Note. Any and all interest not paid when due shall be added to the principal balance of the applicable Note and shall bear interest thereafter as provided for in Section 1.2(a)(iii).

(c) Maximum Interest Rate. Under no circumstances shall the interest rate or rates charged hereunder or under the Notes, plus any other amounts paid hereunder or under the Notes, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. If such a court determines that the Purchasers have received or charged interest hereunder in excess of the highest legally permissible interest rate, any payments with respect to such excess amount shall be deemed received on

account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce the Obligations, in the inverse order of maturity, and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for the highest permissible rate applicable at the time or in the context in question. If there are no Obligations then outstanding, the Purchasers shall refund to the Issuer the amount of interest in excess of the maximum legally permissible rate.

(d) Payments of Interest. All accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes, calculated in accordance with this Section 1.2, shall be due and payable as set forth in Sections 1.2(a)(i) and 1.2(a)(ii). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all interest due and payable on the date that the entire then outstanding principal amount of the Notes becomes due and payable, whether on the stated Maturity Date applicable thereto, by acceleration or otherwise, shall be due and payable in full on such date.

(e) Cost of Money. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Note Documents to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that any default interest or other amounts charged under the Note Documents that would cause the amount charged under the Note Documents to exceed the ceiling under, and as defined in, SBA Regulations §107.855, will be held in escrow as set forth in Section 1.2(f).

(f) Escrowed Payments. To the extent that any payments to Purchasers would exceed the maximum amount permitted by the SBIC Act, such excess amounts shall be held in escrow by the Issuer solely for the Purchasers’ benefit and paid out to Purchasers as soon as practicable following the time(s) as such amounts are permitted to be paid to Purchasers under the SBIC Act.

1.3 Statements of Obligations. Each Purchaser shall maintain a loan account in accordance with its usual and customary practices evidencing the Obligations of the Issuer hereunder. Any failure of any Purchaser to record any charge or payment in such loan account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Issuer to pay any amount owing hereunder. Entries made in a Purchaser’s loan account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in any such loan account is provided to or inspected by any Person, the information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error.

1.4 Holidays. Any principal or interest payment in respect of the Notes which would otherwise become due on a day other than a Business Day, shall instead become due on the next succeeding Business Day and such adjustment shall be reflected in the computation of interest.

1.5 Repayment of Notes.

(a) General Payment Provisions. All payments of Obligations shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars, without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, not later than 12:00 noon Pacific Time on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Obligations may be satisfied in whole or in part at the election of the holder of the Warrants in connection with the exercise of the Warrants pursuant to their terms.

(b)

Repayment of the Notes.

(i) The Issuer shall repay the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Initial Notes (including any PIK Interest added to the outstanding principal balance of the Initial Notes) in cash commencing on February 28, 2023, and on the last day of each month thereafter, in equal monthly installments of $33,333.33, unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 6.2 or redeemed or prepaid in accordance with this Section 1.5. The Issuer shall repay the outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Initial Notes, together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, in cash on the Maturity Date applicable thereto (unless accelerated in accordance with Section 6.2).

(ii) The Issuer shall repay the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Put Notes, together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, in cash on the Maturity Date applicable thereto (unless accelerated in accordance with Section 6.2 or redeemed or prepaid in accordance with this Section 1.5).

(c)

Prepayments.

(i) Optional. The Issuer may, with or without notice, prepay the principal of the Notes, in whole or in part. Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 1.5(c)(i) shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Sections 1.7(b) and 1.9. Each such prepayment shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal due on the Notes in inverse order of maturity (for the avoidance of doubt, any amount that is due and payable on the Maturity Date applicable thereto shall constitute an installment). Such prepayments shall be paid to the Purchasers in accordance with their pro rata share of the Notes.

(ii)

Mandatory.

(A) Dispositions and Involuntary Dispositions. Unless otherwise agreed to by Agent in its sole discretion, the Issuer shall prepay the Notes as hereinafter provided in an aggregate amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds received by any Note Party or any Subsidiary from all Dispositions (other than Permitted Dispositions under clauses (a) through (f) of the definition of Permitted Dispositions) and Involuntary Dispositions within three (3) Business Days of the date of such Disposition or Involuntary Disposition; provided, that, with respect to any Permitted Disposition under clause (g) of the definition of Permitted Dispositions, so long as (w) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom,

(x) the Issuer shall have given Agent prior written notice of Issuer’s intention to apply such monies to the costs of replacement of the properties or assets that are the subject of such Disposition or the cost of purchase of other assets useful in the business of such Note Party or its Subsidiaries,

(y) the monies are held in a deposit account in which Agent has a perfected first-priority security interest, and (z) such Note Party or its Subsidiary, as applicable, completes such replacement or purchase within 180 days after the initial receipt of such monies, then the Note Party or such Note Party’s Subsidiary whose assets were the subject of such Disposition shall have the option to apply such monies to the costs of replacement of the assets that are the subject of such Disposition unless and to the extent that such applicable period shall have expired without such replacement or purchase being made or completed, in which case, any amounts remaining in the deposit account referred to in clause (y) above shall be paid to Agent and applied in accordance with Section 1.5(c)(ii)(G).

(B) Equity Issuance. Unless otherwise agreed to by Agent in its sole discretion, within three (3) Business Days of the receipt by any Note Party or any Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Equity Issuance, the Issuer shall prepay the Notes as hereinafter provided in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that, so long as (w) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom,

(x) the Issuer shall have given Agent prior written notice of Issuer’s intention to apply such monies to the costs of building new and/or remodeling existing Company-Owned Units and related opening costs, (y) the monies are held in a deposit account in which Agent has a perfected first- priority security interest, and (z) such Note Party or its Subsidiary, as applicable, completes such building or remodeling within three years after the initial receipt of such monies, then the Note Party or such Note Party’s Subsidiary shall have the option to apply such monies for such purposes unless and to the extent that such applicable period shall have expired without such monies being used for such purposes, in which case, any amounts remaining in the deposit account referred to in clause (y) above shall be paid to Agent and applied in accordance with Section 1.5(c)(ii)(G).

(C) Debt Issuance. Unless otherwise agreed to by Agent in its sole discretion, within three (3) Business Days of the receipt by any Note Party or any Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds of any issuance by any Note Party or ay Subsidiary of any Debt (other than Permitted Debt), the Issuer shall prepay the Notes as hereinafter provided in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds.

(D) Extraordinary Receipts. Unless otherwise agreed to by Agent in its sole discretion, within three (3) Business Days of the receipt by any Note Party or any Subsidiary of any Extraordinary Receipt received by or paid to or for the account of any Note Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and not otherwise included in clause (A), (B) or (C) of this Section, the Issuer shall prepay the Notes as hereinafter provided in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (D), upon the death of Paul W. Mobley or A Scott Mobley, the Issuer shall be permitted to use up to $500,000 of proceeds of the Life Insurance Policies, in the aggregate for both such Persons, for purposes any costs and expenses deemed necessary by the Issuer to find and secure one or more successor(s) to the deceased.

(E) Consolidated Excess Cash Flow. Unless otherwise agreed to by Agent in its sole discretion, commencing with the Financial Statements and related Compliance Certificate required to be delivered for the Fiscal Quarter of the Issuer ending December 31, 2020, within five (5) Business Days after Financial Statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 4.3(b) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 4.3(d), or if such Financial Statements or Compliance Certificate are not delivered on the dates so required, within five (5) Business Days after such Financial Statements and related Compliance Certificate are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.3(c) and 4.3(d), as applicable, the Issuer shall prepay the Notes as hereafter provided in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for the Fiscal Quarter covered by such Financial Statements less the amount of any voluntary prepayments made on the Notes during such Fiscal Quarter.

(F)

Consolidated Excess Cash Flow Adjustments.

(1) If the calculations of the amount of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow set forth in the Compliance Certificate delivered for Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.3(c) (the “Annual Compliance Certificate”) show an aggregate amount of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for the Fiscal Year with respect to which such annual Financial Statements are delivered that is greater than the aggregate amount of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow indicated by the Issuer in the Compliance Certificates delivered for Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.3(b) for the four Fiscal Quarters of such Fiscal Year (collectively, the “Quarterly Compliance Certificates”), then the Issuer shall prepay, no later than five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Annual Compliance Certificate, an additional aggregate amount of the Notes (“Additional Excess Cash Flow”) equal to (x) the amount required to be prepaid pursuant to the terms of Section 1.5(c)(ii)(E) based on the amount of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow set forth in such Annual Compliance Certificate, less (y) the amount of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow required to be prepaid pursuant to the terms of Section 1.5(c)(ii)(E) based on the aggregate amount of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow set forth in the Quarterly Compliance Certificates.

(2) If the calculations of the amount of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow set forth in the Annual Compliance Certificate show an aggregate amount of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for the Fiscal Year with respect to which such annual Financial Statements are delivered that is less than the aggregate amount of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow indicated by the Issuer in the Quarterly Compliance Certificates, then the Issuer may deduct from the next payment or payments, as the case may be, required pursuant to the terms of Section 1.5(c)(ii)(E) an amount equal to the difference between (x) the amount of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow required to be prepaid pursuant to the terms of Section 1.5(c)(ii)(E) based on the aggregate amount of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow set forth in the Quarterly Compliance Certificates and (y) the amount required to be prepaid pursuant to the terms of Section 1.5(c)(ii)(E) based on the amount of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow set forth in such Annual Compliance Certificate; provided that under no circumstances shall the Agent or the Purchasers be required to return any amount of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow previously received.

(G) Application of Payments. Each prepayment of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 1.5(c)(ii)(A) through (F) shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal due on the Notes in inverse order of maturity (for the avoidance of doubt, any amount that is due and payable on the Maturity Date applicable thereto shall constitute an installment). Such prepayments shall be paid to the Purchasers in accordance with their pro rata share of the Notes.

The Issuer agrees to pay to the Agent upon a prepayment pursuant to Section 1.5(c)(ii)(A) through (D), the prepayment fee required pursuant to Section 1.7(b). All prepayments under this Section 1.5(c)(ii) shall be subject to Section 1.9, and shall be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.

(d)

Application and Allocation of Payments.

(i) Application.                                            Payments made by the Issuer hereunder shall be applied (A) first, as specifically required hereby; (B) second, to Obligations then due and owing;

(C) third, to other Obligations specified by the Issuer; and (D) fourth, as determined by the Required Purchasers.

(ii) Post-Default Allocation. Notwithstanding anything in any Note Document to the contrary, during the continuance of an Event of Default, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by Note Parties, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows:

Purchasers;

(A)

first, to all costs and expenses owing to the Agent and

(B)

second, to all Obligations constituting fees;

(C)

third, to all Obligations constituting interest, including PIK

Interest that has not yet been capitalized;

(D) fourth, to principal amounts outstanding under the Notes, including the principal balance thereof constituting PIK Interest that has been capitalized; and

(E)

fifth, to all remaining Obligations.

Amounts shall be applied to payment of each category of Obligations only after payment in full of all preceding categories. If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a specific category, Obligations in such category shall be paid on a pro rata basis. The allocations set forth in this Section 1.5(d) are solely to determine the rights and priorities among the Purchasers, and may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Note Party. This Section 1.5(d) is not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Note Party, and the Issuer irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments subject to this Section 1.5(d).

(iii) Erroneous Application. No Purchaser shall be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Purchaser or other Person to which such amount should have been paid shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it in error (and, if such amount was received by any Purchaser, such Purchaser hereby agrees to return it).

(e) Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. The Purchasers shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Note Party or against any Obligations. If any payment by or on behalf of the Issuer is made to any Purchaser, or any Purchaser exercises a right of setoff, and such payment or any proceeds of such setoff is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person (including in each case pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Purchaser in its discretion), then the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had never been made or such setoff had never occurred. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment in full of the Obligations.

1.6 Payment of Obligations. Obligations other than the Notes will be paid by the Issuer as provided in the Note Documents or, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and payable within five (5) calendar days of written demand by the Agent. The Issuer shall pay all of the Obligations (including principal, interest, premiums, if any, fees, costs, and expenses (including Expenses)) in full on the last Maturity Date hereunder or, if earlier, on the date on which the Obligations become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

1.7 Fees.

(a) Fee. The Issuer shall pay to Agent and Purchasers all fees specified in the Fee Letter and any other fee letter executed by the Issuer in connection with this Agreement.

(b) Prepayment Fee. In the event that (i) the Obligations are prepaid in whole or in part before the applicable Maturity Date, (ii) the Obligations are prepaid, reduced, refinanced or replaced by operation of law or otherwise before the applicable Maturity Date, (iii) the Obligations are accelerated (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, by operation of law, or otherwise), (iv) Obligations are satisfied as a result of a foreclosure sale, or (v) an Event of Default occurs under Section 6.1(g) or 6.1(h), then Issuer shall pay the Purchasers as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) a prepayment fee in an amount equal to a percentage of the amount of prepayment of the Obligations calculated as follows: (A) three percent (3.0%) if such prepayment, refinancing, replacement, sale, acceleration or such Event of Default occurs on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date; (B) two percent (2.0%) if such prepayment, refinancing, replacement, sale, acceleration or such Event of Default occurs after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, but on or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date; (C) one percent (1.0%) if such prepayment, refinancing, replacement, sale, acceleration or such Event of Default occurs after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, but on or before the third anniversary of the Closing Date; and (D) zero percent (0.0%) if such prepayment, refinancing, replacement, sale, acceleration or such Event of Default occurs after the third anniversary of the Closing Date. The applicable prepayment fee set forth in this Section 1.7(b) shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by the Purchasers as a result of a prepayment, and the Issuer agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The prepayment fee provided for in this Section 1.7(b) shall be deemed included in the Obligations. This provision shall be applicable whether the prepayment is made voluntarily, as a result of an Event of Default, or otherwise.

1.8 Taxes on Payments. All payments in respect of the Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any present and future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, assessments or governmental charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, imposed by the United States of America, any foreign government, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, excluding any Excluded Taxes (all such non-Excluded Taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are imposed and required by law to be deducted or withheld from any amount payable to the Agent and the Purchasers, then the Issuer shall (i) increase the amount of such payment so that the Agent and the Purchasers will receive a net amount (after deduction of all Taxes) equal to the amount due hereunder, and (ii) pay such Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority for the account of the Agent and the Purchasers prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon; provided, however, if any such penalties or interest shall become due, the Issuer

shall make prompt payment thereof to the appropriate taxing authority. The Issuer shall indemnify the Agent and the Purchasers for the full amount of Taxes (including penalties, interest, expenses and Taxes arising from or with respect to any indemnification payment) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not the Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made on demand.

1.9 Recovery of Additional Costs. If the imposition of or any Change in Law or the interpretation or application thereof by any court or administrative or governmental authority (including any request or policy not having the force of law) shall impose, modify or make applicable any taxes (except Excluded Taxes) or reserve requirements, capital adequacy requirements or other obligations which would (a) increase the cost to the Agent and the Purchasers for extending or maintaining the loans or other financial accommodations to which this Agreement relates, (b) reduce the amounts payable to the Agent and the Purchasers under this Agreement or any other Note Documents, or (c) reduce the rate of return on the Agent and the Purchasers’ capital as a consequence of the Agent and the Purchasers’ obligations with respect the loans or other financial accommodations to which this Agreement relates, then the Issuer shall pay to the Agent and the Purchasers such additional amounts as will compensate the Agent and the Purchasers therefore, within fifteen (15) days after the Agent and such Purchaser’s written demand for such payment, which demand shall be accompanied by an explanation of such imposition or charge and a calculation in reasonable detail of the additional amounts payable by the Issuer, which explanation and calculations shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error; provided that

(A) Issuer shall not be required to compensate Agent or any Purchaser for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that Agent or such Purchaser, as the case may be, notifies Issuer of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of Agent’s or such Purchaser’s intention to claim compensation therefor, and (B) if an event or circumstance giving rise to such amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

1.10 Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

(a) In the event that, prior to the first day of any Interest Period, (i) the Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer absent manifest error) that (x) by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, and (y) the circumstances described in Section 1.10(b)(i) do not apply, (ii) the Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer absent manifest error) that dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Note or (iii) the Agent shall have determined that the LIBOR Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to one or more Purchasers (as conclusively certified by such Purchaser) of making or maintaining their affected Notes during such Interest Period, the Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Issuer as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, on the first day of such Interest Period, the interest payable under Section 1.2(a)(i) shall accrue at the Base Rate rather than the LIBOR Rate (in each case, plus the applicable margin set forth in Section 1.2(a)) until such notice has been withdrawn by the Agent.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer absent manifest error) that (i) by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) a public statement or publication of information has been made (x) by or on behalf of the administrator of the LIBOR Rate announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the LIBOR Rate, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the LIBOR Rate, (y) by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Rate, the U.S. Federal Reserve System (or any successor), an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the LIBOR Rate, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the LIBOR Rate, which states that the administrator of the LIBOR Rate has ceased or will cease to provide the LIBOR Rate permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the LIBOR Rate, or (z) by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Rate announcing that the LIBOR Rate is no longer representative,

(iii) a LIBOR Rate is not published by the administrator of the LIBOR Rate for five consecutive Business Days and such failure is not the result of temporary moratorium, embargo or disruption declared by the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Rate, or (iv) a new index rate has become a widely-recognized replacement benchmark rate for the LIBOR Rate in newly originated loans denominated in Dollars in the U.S. market, then reasonably promptly thereafter, the Agent shall amend this Agreement as described below to replace the LIBOR Rate with an alternative benchmark rate (which may be a rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate and which alternative benchmark rate shall be subject to a floor of 1.50% per annum), and to modify the applicable margins and make other related amendments, in each case giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities, or any selection, endorsement or recommendation by a relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such facilities.

(c) The Agent shall provide notice to the Issuer of the amendment to this Agreement to reflect the replacement index, adjusted margins and such other related amendments as may be appropriate, in the reasonable discretion of the Agent, for the implementation and administration of the replacement index-based rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Note Document, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement upon delivery of notice to the Issuer.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Agent is prohibited by Applicable Law to use the LIBOR Rate as a reference rate following the date when a determination is made pursuant to Section 1.10(b) above and until a replacement index has been selected and implemented in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 1.10(c), at the Agent’s election, the interest payable under Section 1.2(a)(i) shall accrue at the Base Rate rather than the LIBOR Rate (in each case, plus a margin equal to the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate in effect immediately prior to such change to Base Rate plus (ii) 7.75% per annum minus (iii) the Base Rate in effect at such time).

Each Note Party has the power and authority to own its own Assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged, to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Note Documents to which it is a party and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof (including, without limitation, the issuance and sale of the Notes and the Warrants by the Issuer on the Closing Date). Each Note Party is properly licensed, qualified to do business and in good standing in every jurisdiction in which failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect as set forth in Schedule 3.1. Each Note Party has delivered to the Agent accurate and complete copies of its Governing Documents all of which are operative and in effect as of the Closing Date.

3.2 No Violation; Compliance. The execution, delivery and performance of the Note Documents to which each Note Party is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including the issuance of the Notes and the Warrants), are duly authorized and are within such Note Party’s powers, are not in conflict with the terms of the Governing Documents of such Note Party, and do not result in a material breach of or constitute a default under any material contract, obligation, indenture or other agreement or instrument to which such Note Party is a party or by which such Note Party or its assets are or may be bound or affected. No law, rule or regulation (including Regulations T, U and X of the Federal Reserve Board), nor any judgment, decree or order of any court or Governmental Authority binding on any Note Party, will be contravened by the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Note Documents to which any Note Party is a party.

3.3 Authorization; Enforceability. Each Note Party has taken all action necessary to validly authorize the execution and delivery by such Note Party of the Note Documents to which

such Note Party is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated to be consummated hereby and thereby.

Corbel SBIC to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Note Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 7 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Purchasers, and neither the Issuer nor any other Note Party shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Note Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) duties or obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law, all of which duties and obligations are expressly disclaimed. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between or among contracting parties.

7.2 Rights as a Purchaser. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Purchaser as any other Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Purchaser” or “Purchasers” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Note Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Purchasers.

7.3

Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Note Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other express or implied duties, regardless of whether a Default may occur, has occurred, or is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Note Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Note Documents); provided, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Note Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Applicable Law; and

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Note Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for any failure to disclose or incomplete disclosure of, any information relating to the Issuer or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as shall be necessary, or as the Agent may believe is necessary, under specified circumstances), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction and reflected in a final and nonappealable judgment. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Agent in writing by the Issuer or a Purchaser.

(c) The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Note Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default or the facts or circumstances giving rise thereto, (v) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Note Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or

7.4 Reliance by the Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, (a) any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by a proper Person or (b) any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by a proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the purchase of Notes or any other loan or financial accommodation made hereunder that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Purchaser, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Purchaser unless the Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Purchaser prior to the purchase of such Note or making of any loan or other financial accommodation. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Issuer), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The exculpatory provisions of this Article 7 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to the activities as the Agent. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent

that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

7.6 Resignation of the Agent.

(a) The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Purchasers and the Issuer. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Purchasers shall have the right to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Purchasers and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the resigning Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Purchasers) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the resigning Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Purchasers, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date: (i) the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Note Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Purchasers under any of the Note Documents, the resigning Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the resigning Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Purchaser directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Purchasers appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the resigning Agent), and the resigning Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Note Documents. The fees payable by the Issuer to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and such successor. After the resigning Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Note Documents, the provisions of this Article 7 and Section 9.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such resigning Agent, its sub-agents and its respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the resigning Agent was acting as the Agent.

Each Purchaser also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Note Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

7.8 No Other Duties, etc. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Note Document to the contrary, none of the Persons listed on the cover page hereof shall have any

powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent or a Purchaser hereunder.

7.9 The Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

(a) The Issuer shall pay all out-of-pocket Expenses of the Agent and the Purchasers on demand.

(b) The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Agent and each Purchaser against any and all transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments, or charges made by any Governmental Authority and imposed by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any of the other Note Documents, or any other document, instrument or agreement entered into in connection herewith.

(c) The Issuer shall and hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the Agent, each Purchaser and each of their Related Parties (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons” and individually, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against (i) any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred pursuant to proceedings arising under the Bankruptcy Code) (collectively, “Losses”) suffered or incurred by any Indemnified Person (except to the extent that any such Losses are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification) arising out of or by reason of any litigations, investigations, claims or proceedings (whether administrative, judicial or otherwise), including discovery, whether or not such Indemnified Person is designated a party thereto, which arise out of or are in any way related to (A) this Agreement, the other Note Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (B) any actual or proposed use by the Issuer of the proceeds of the Notes, or (C) the Agent’s and each Purchaser’s entering into this Agreement, the other Note Documents or any other agreements and documents relating hereto;

(ii) any such Losses arising out of or by reason of the use, generation, manufacture, production, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal or presence on, under or about the Issuer’s operations or property or property leased by the Issuer of any material, substance or waste which is or becomes designated as Hazardous Materials; and (iii) any such Losses suffered or incurred in connection with any remedial or other action taken by the Issuer or the Agent in connection with compliance by the Issuer with any federal, state or local environmental laws, acts, rules, regulations, orders, directions, ordinances, criteria or guidelines (except to the extent that any such Losses are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification).

(d) Without limiting the foregoing provision, (i) the Issuer hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from any Losses suffered or incurred as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Issuer contained in this Agreement or any other Note Document, and (ii) the Issuer hereby covenant and agree to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from any Losses suffered or incurred as a result of any breach or non- fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement or any other Note Document.

(e) No Purchaser’s or other Indemnified Person’s rights to indemnification or other remedies based on any inaccuracy in or breach or violation of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Issuer contained herein or in any other Note Documents will be affected by any investigation conducted by Agent, any Purchaser or any other Indemnified Person with respect to, or any knowledge acquired by Agent, any Purchaser or any other Indemnified Person at any time, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with or violation of, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(f) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Issuer shall not assert, and hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Note Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Note or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnified Person through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Note Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(g) The Issuer’s obligations under this Section 9.3 and Section 1.8 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the Note Documents and the payment and satisfaction in full of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other of its obligations set forth in this Agreement.

(h) If and to the extent that the indemnification obligations of the Issuer is unenforceable for any reason, but without limiting the proviso in Section 9.3(d) above, the Issuer hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations to the Agent and the Purchasers which is permissible under Applicable Law.

9.4 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) No amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document (other than any fee letter entered into in connection herewith), and no consent with respect to any departure by any Note Party therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Purchasers (or by the Agent at the written request of the Required Purchasers) and the Note Parties that are party thereto and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective, but only in the specific instance and for the

specific purpose for which given; provided, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Purchasers directly affected thereby and all of the Note Parties that are party thereto, do any of the following:

(b) No amendment, waiver, modification, or consent shall amend, modify, waive, or eliminate:

(i) the definition of, or any of the terms or provisions of, the Fee Letter or any other fee letter entered into in connection with this Agreement, without the written consent of the Agent and the Issuer (and shall not require the written consent of any of the Purchasers);

(ii) any provision of Article 7 pertaining to the Agent, or any other rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or the other Note Documents, without the written consent of the Agent, the Issuer, and the Required Purchasers; and

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.4, any amendment, modification, elimination, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document that relates only to the

relationship of the Agent and the Purchasers among themselves, and that does not affect the rights or obligations of any Note Party, shall not require consent by or the agreement of any Note Party.

9.5 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Disclosure; Register.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that the Issuer may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Purchasers and any such prohibited assignment or transfer by the Issuer shall be void.

(b) Each Purchaser may make, carry or transfer the Obligations at, to or for the account of, any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Purchaser or to any Federal Reserve Bank, all without the Issuer’s consent.

(c) Each Purchaser may, at its own expense, assign to one or more banks or other financial institutions all or a portion of its rights (including voting rights) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Note Documents; provided, however, that as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) shall be required (it being understood that the consent of the Issuer shall be deemed to have been given if the Issuer does not respond within five

(5) Business Days of the Issuer’s receipt of a request to so consent). In the event of any such assignment by the Purchasers pursuant to this Section 9.5(c), such Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement arising after the effective date of such assignment shall be released and concurrently therewith, transferred to and assumed by such assignee to the extent provided for in the document evidencing such assignment. The provisions of this Section 9.5 relate only to absolute assignments (whether or not arising as the result of foreclosure of a security interest) and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by any Purchaser of any Obligation or any Note to any Federal Reserve Bank or other financing source in accordance with Applicable Law.

(d) Each Purchaser may at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the Notes and in any other interest of such Purchaser hereunder. In the event of any such sale by such Purchaser of a participating interest to a Participant, such Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, and the Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(e) The Issuer authorizes each Purchaser to disclose to any assignee under Section 9.5(c) or any Participant (either, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Purchaser’s possession concerning the Issuer that has been delivered to such Purchaser by the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Purchaser by the Issuer in connection with such Purchaser’s credit evaluation prior to entering into this Agreement; provided that such Transferee or prospective Transferee has first agreed to be bound by the provisions of Section 9.6.

(f) The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Issuer, shall maintain at its office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Purchaser, and the principal amounts of the loans owing to such Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Issuer and the Purchasers shall treat the Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Issuer and Purchasers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement and the other Note Documents are registered obligations and the right, title and interest of the Purchasers and their assignees in and to such obligations shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register. This Section 9.5(f) shall be construed so that such obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code and any related regulations (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code or such regulations).

(g) With the consent of the Issuer (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Agent and each Purchaser may use Issuer’s and the Subsidiary’s name(s) in advertising and promotional materials, and in conjunction therewith, the Purchasers may disclose the amount of the Notes and the purpose thereof.

9.6 Confidentiality.

(a) The Agent and each Purchaser agrees that (i) all information received prior to the Closing Date from the Issuer or its representatives other than information that was available to the Agent and the Purchasers on a non-confidential basis prior to the disclosure by the Issuer or its representative; and (ii) after the Closing Date, all material or non-public information regarding Note Parties and their Subsidiaries, their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans (“Confidential Information”) shall be treated by the Agent and each Purchaser in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by the Agent or any Purchaser to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (A) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to the Agent and the Purchasers who are subject to reasonably customary confidentiality restrictions or are advised to keep such information confidential in accordance with this Section 9.6, (B) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of the Agent and the Purchasers, provided that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have agreed to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 9.6, (C) as may be required by regulatory authorities so long as such authorities are informed of the confidential nature of such information, (D) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation; provided that (x) prior to any disclosure under this clause (D), the disclosing party agrees to provide the Issuer with prior notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior notice to the Issuer pursuant to the terms of the applicable statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, and (y) any disclosure under this clause (D) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (E) as may be agreed to in advance by the Issuer or as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, provided, that, (x) prior to any disclosure under this clause (E) the disclosing party agrees to provide the Issuer with prior notice thereof, to the extent

that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior notice to the Issuer pursuant to the terms of the subpoena or other legal process, and (y) any disclosure under this clause (E) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such Governmental Authority pursuant to such subpoena or other legal process,

(F) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by the Agent or any Purchaser or any of their Related Parties), (G) in connection with any assignment, prospective assignment, sale, prospective sale, participation, prospective participation, pledge or prospective pledge of the Purchasers’ interest under this Agreement, provided that any such Transferee or prospective Transferee shall have agreed in writing to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section, (H) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other Note Documents; provided, that, prior to any disclosure to any Person (other than any Note Party, the Agent, the Purchasers, any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective counsel) under this clause (H) with respect to litigation involving any Person (other than any Note Party, the Agent, the Purchasers, any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective counsel), the disclosing party agrees to provide the Issuer with prior notice thereof, and

(I) in connection with, and to the extent reasonably necessary for, the exercise of any secured creditor remedy under this Agreement or under any other Note Document.

(b) Agent and each Purchaser is aware, and will advise its representatives (including any Board Observer) who are informed of the matters that are the subject of this Agreement, of the restrictions imposed by United States securities laws on the purchase or sale of securities by any person who has received material, non-public information from the issues of such securities and on the communication of such information to any other person where it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance on such information.

(c) In the event of the breach or a threatened breach by Agent or any Purchaser of any of the provisions of this Section 9.6, the Issuer would suffer irreparable harm, and in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, the Issuer shall be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security).

9.7 Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which when taken together shall be deemed one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of an original counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission also shall deliver a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver a manually executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

9.8 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable. The invalidity, in whole or in part, of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other of its provisions. If one or more provisions hereof shall be declared invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed in the broadest possible manner to effectuate the purposes hereof.

9.9 Knowledge. For purposes of this Agreement, a Person will be deemed to have knowledge of a particular fact or other matter if such Person is actually aware of such fact or other matter. A Note Party will be deemed to have knowledge of a particular fact or other matter if any officer of such Note Party has, or at any time had, actual knowledge of such fact or other matter.

9.10 Additional Waivers.

(a) The Issuer agrees that checks and other instruments received by the Agent and the Purchasers in payment or on account of the Obligations constitute only conditional payment until such items are actually paid to the Agent and the Purchasers and the Issuer waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times hereafter received by the Agent and the Purchasers on account of the Obligations and the Issuer agrees that the Agent and the Purchasers shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply such payments in any manner as the Agent and the Purchasers may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by the Agent and the Purchasers upon their books.

The Issuer shall be permitted to attend any meeting with such accountants, accounting firm and/or service bureau or consultant; provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

9.11 Destruction of the Issuer’s Documents. Any documents, schedules, invoices or other papers delivered to the Agent and the Purchasers may be destroyed by the Agent and the Purchasers six months after they are delivered to or received by the Agent and the Purchasers, unless the Issuer requests, in writing, the return of the said documents, schedules, invoices or other papers and make arrangements, at the Issuer’s expense, for their return.

9.12 CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER; CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

(a) THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER NOTE DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT), THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF AND THEREOF, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO OR THERETO SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT REGARD FOR PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

(b) THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS SHALL BE TRIED AND LITIGATED ONLY IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT THE AGENT’S AND/OR THE PURCHASERS’ OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR TO OBJECT TO VENUE TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 9.12.

(II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS, AGREEMENTS, AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

9.13 Reference Provision. In the event the Jury Trial Waiver set forth above is not enforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this Judicial Reference Provision.

(a) With the exception of the items specified in clause (b) below, any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Note Document will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in the Note Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the state or federal court in the county or district where the real property involved in the action, if any, is located or in the state or federal court in the county or district where venue is otherwise appropriate under Applicable Laws (the “Court”).

(b)

The matters that shall not be subject to a reference are the following:

(i) nonjudicial foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of self- help remedies (including, without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). This reference provision does not limit the right of any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the items described in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the right of any party to a reference pursuant to this reference provision as provided herein.

(c) The referee shall be a retired judge or justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree within 10 days of a written request to do so by any party, then, upon request of any party, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. Pursuant to CCP § 170.6, each party shall have one peremptory challenge to the referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative).

(d) The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within 15 days after the date of selection of the referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within 120 days after the date of the conference and (iii) report a statement of decision within 20 days after the matter has been submitted for decision.

(e) The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered based upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within 15 days after service. All disputes relating to

discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding.

(f) Except as expressly set forth herein, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at trial.

(g) The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. Pursuant to CCP § 644, such decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court and any such decision will be final, binding and conclusive. The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the referee. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.

(h) If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.

(i) THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS.

9.14 Patriot Act Notification. The Agent and the Purchasers are subject to the Patriot Act and hereby notify the Issuer that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, the Agent and

the Purchasers are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Issuer, which information includes the name and address of the Issuer and other information that will allow the Agent and the Purchasers to identify the Issuer in accordance with the Patriot Act.

9.15 Continuing Liability. The liability of the Issuer under this Agreement and the other Note Documents to which the Issuer is a party includes Obligations arising under successive transactions continuing, compromising, extending, increasing, modifying, releasing, or renewing the Obligations, changing the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof, or creating new or additional Obligations after prior Obligations have been satisfied in whole or in part.

9.16 Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Note Documents have been given as an inducement to and relied upon by the party receiving such agreements, representations and warranties in entering into this Agreement and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Note Documents, the issue, sale and delivery of the Notes and the Warrants and payment therefor and any disposition of the Notes or the Warrants by any Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Note Documents, all indemnification provisions, including, without limitation, those contained in Section 9.3 and Section 1.8 shall survive indefinitely.

(j)

Holder’s Exercise Limitations.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant shall be limited to the number of Warrant Shares that (after giving effect to such proposed exercise and issuance) can be beneficially owned by the Holder, Holder’s affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates (such other Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), without exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Warrant Shares beneficially owned by the Holder, Holder’s affiliates and any applicable Attribution Parties shall include the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder, Holder’s affiliates or any applicable Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Convertible Securities or Options) that (x) are beneficially owned by the Holder, Holder’s affiliates and any applicable Attribution Parties and (y) are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3(j), “beneficial ownership” shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, a determination as to any “group” status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(ii) To the extent that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applies, the determination of whether and to what extent this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any of its Attribution Parties) and the portion of this Warrant that is exercisable shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of an Exercise Agreement and the other items required to exercise this Warrant as provided in Section 3(a) above shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether and which portion of this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with Holder’s affiliates and any applicable Attribution Parties), in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to independently verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 3(j), in determining the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, Holder may rely on the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice from the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Business Days confirm orally and in writing to Holder the number of shares of Common

EXECUTION COPY

Stock then issued and outstanding. In any case, the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to any conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities or Options in accordance with their terms, including this Warrant, held by the Holder, Holder’s affiliates or any applicable Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.

(iv) The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.9999% of the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon the applicable exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation percentage upon notice to the Company; provided, that any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company or such other, later date as may be specified in the notice of increase. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(j) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the purpose and intent of this Section 3(j). To the extent the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applies to limit the number of Warrant Shares issued upon any proposed exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant Shares that are not issued as a result of the Beneficial Ownership Limit shall remain subject to this Warrant and may be issued upon a subsequent exercise of this Warrant in accordance with its terms.

  1. Adjustment to Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the purchase rights granted under this Warrant, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4 (in each case, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4).

(a) Adjustment to Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except as provided in Section 4(c) and except in the case of an event described in either Section 4(e) or Section 4(f), if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, issue or sell, or in accordance with Section 4(d) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock without consideration or for consideration per share less than the applicable Exercise Price(s) in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), then immediately upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), each Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) that is higher than the consideration per share applicable to the issuance and sale (or deemed issuance or sale) in question shall be reduced (and in no event increased) to an Exercise Price equal to the then the Exercise Price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

CP2 = CP1 * (A + B) ÷ (A + C).

EXECUTION COPY

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

(i) “CP2” shall mean the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such issuance or deemed issuance of shares of Common Stock;

(ii) “CP1” shall mean the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or deemed issuance of Common Stock;

(iii) “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or deemed issuance Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options outstanding immediately prior to such issuance (including the Warrants) or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities outstanding immediately prior to such issuance;

(iv) “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such issuance or deemed issuance of Common Stock had occurred at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such issuance or deemed issuance by CP1); and

(v) “C” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued in such transaction.

(b) Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Adjustment to Exercise Price. Upon any and each adjustment of the Exercise Price as provided in Section 4(a), the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment shall be increased to a number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

(i) the product of (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such adjustment multiplied by (B) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment; by

(ii)

the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

(c) Exceptions To Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, there shall be no adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to any Excluded Issuance.

(d) Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to Exercise Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Section 4(a) hereof, the following shall be applicable:

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell any Options (whether directly or by assumption in a merger, consolidation or otherwise), whether or not such Options or

EXECUTION COPY

the right to convert, exercise or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, and the lowest price per share (determined as provided in this Section 4(d)(i) and Section 4(d)(iv)) for which any one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon the exercise of any such Option is less than any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Options, then such share of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security issuable upon the exercise of such Option shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price under Section 4(a), at a price per share equal to such lowest price per share). For purposes of this Section 4(d)(i), the lowest price per share for which any one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon the exercise of any such Option shall be equal to the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 4(a)) of the lowest amounts of consideration, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon each of (A) the granting or sale of the Option, plus (B) the exercise of the Option, plus (C) in the case of an Option which relates to Convertible Securities, the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and the conversion, exercise or exchange of the Convertible Security. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4(d)(iii), no further adjustment of the applicable Exercise Price(s) shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options.

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger, consolidation or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right to convert, exercise or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, and the lowest price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 4(d)(iv)) for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any such Convertible Securities is less than any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, then such share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Convertible Securities (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price under Section 4(a)), at a price per share equal to such lowest price per share. For purposes of this Section 4(d)(ii), the lowest price per share for which any one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any such Convertible Security shall be equal to the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 4(a)) of the lowest amounts of consideration, if any, received or receivable by the

EXECUTION COPY

Company as consideration with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon each of

(A) the granting or sale of the Convertible Security, plus (B) the conversion, exercise or exchange of the Convertible Security. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4(d)(iii),

(x) no further adjustment of any Exercise Price(s) shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (y) no further adjustment of the applicable Exercise Price(s) shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities in accordance with the terms thereof, to the extent adjustments of the Exercise Price already have been made pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 4(d).

(iii) Change in Terms of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon any change in any of (A) the lowest amounts of consideration, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of any Options or Convertible Securities referred to in Section 4(d)(i) or Section 4(d)(ii) hereof, (B) the lowest amounts of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 4(d)(i) or Section 4(d)(ii) hereof, (C) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 4(d)(i) or Section 4(d)(ii) hereof are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any Options referred to in Section 4(d)(i) hereof or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 4(d)(ii) hereof (in each case, other than in connection with an Excluded Issuance), then (whether or not the original issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 4) each Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4 had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed consideration, conversion rate or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment each applicable Exercise Price then in effect is reduced, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment or readjustment shall be correspondingly adjusted or readjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 4(b).

(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold in accordance with Section 4(d) any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor; (B) for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company

EXECUTION COPY

shall be the market price (as reflected on any securities exchange, quotation system or association or similar pricing system covering such security) for such securities as of the end of business on the date of receipt of such securities; (C) for no specifically allocated consideration in connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the aggregate consideration received by the Company in such transaction as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued or deemed issued in such transaction; or (D) to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued or deemed issued to such owners. The net amount of any cash consideration and the fair value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities shall be determined in each case in good faith by the Board.

(v) Record Date. For purposes of any adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares in accordance with this Section 4, in case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock or other applicable capital stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock or other applicable capital stock, Options or Convertible Securities or

(B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or other applicable capital stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(vi) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock outstanding at any given time shall not include treasury or other shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof or the transfer of such shares among the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries) shall be deemed an issue or sale of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock for the purpose of this Section 4.

(vii) Other Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4(d), if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, make or declare, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock entitled to receive, a dividend or any other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock, Options or Convertible Securities in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock), cash or other property, then, and in each such event, concurrently with the making or payment of any such dividend or distribution, the Holder shall receive the same kind

EXECUTION COPY

and amount of securities of the Company, cash or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrant been exercised in full into Warrant Shares immediately prior to such event (or the record date for such event, whichever is more favorable to the Holder) and had the Holder held such Warrant Shares through the time such dividend or distribution of securities, cash or property was made to the holders of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock.

(e) Adjustment to Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Company payable in shares of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock or in Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock or into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock or into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 4(e) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination is made or becomes effective, as applicable.

(f) Adjustment to Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered by Section 4(e)), in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock or other applicable capital stock, each Warrant shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Shares then exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the effective time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction (or any applicable record date with respect thereto, whichever is more favorable to the Holder) and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into

EXECUTION COPY

account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to insure that the provisions of this Section 4 hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing Person is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment in the Exercise Price to the value per share for the Common Stock or other applicable capital stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, and a corresponding immediate adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than the Exercise Price(s) in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction). The provisions of this Section 4(f) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or similar transactions. The Company shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (I) with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4(f), the Holder shall have the right and shall be provided reasonable prior written notice from the Company and a reasonable opportunity to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction (or the record date applicable thereto, whichever is more favorable to the Holder), to give effect to the exercise rights contained in Section 2 instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 4(f) with respect to this Warrant; and (II) if such transaction consists of a merger pursuant to which the Company’s outstanding shares will be converted into the right to exclusively receive cash or other consideration with a value per share less than an applicable Exercise Price then in effect, upon the closing of such transaction, the unexercised portion of the Warrants covering those Warrant Shares with an Exercise Price less than the value of such per share merger consideration shall be cancelled and of no further force or effect.

(g) Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features) occurs, then the Board shall in good faith make an appropriate and equitable adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the purpose and intent of the provisions of this Section 4; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 4(g) shall increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares issuable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 4.

EXECUTION COPY

(h)

Certificate as to Adjustment.

(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Exercise Price, but in any event not later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer of the Company setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

(ii) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of a written request by the Holder, but in any event not later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of Warrant Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities or assets then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

(i)

Notices. In the event:

(i) that the Company shall propose to take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, to vote at a meeting (or by written consent), to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, to receive any other security, or to otherwise exercise any material right as a stockholder; or

(ii) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person; or

(iii) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

then, and in each such case, the Company shall send or cause to be sent to the Holder at least fifteen

(15) days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be and whichever is more favorable to the Holder, for the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent, or (B) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,

EXECUTION COPY

dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Warrant and the Warrant Shares.

5.

Purchase Rights; Anti-Dilutive Issuances. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to

Section 4 above:

(a) If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding the Company proposes to grant, issue or sell any shares of Common Stock, Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders or beneficial owners of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock of the Company (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder shall be entitled to acquire and exercise, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder would have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance, sale or exercise of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock of the Company are to be determined for the grant, issue, sale or exercise of such Purchase Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to the Purchase Rights granted herein with respect to any Excluded Issuance.

(b) If at any time between the date this Warrant is exercised in whole or in part and the seven (7) year anniversary of the Original Issue Date, any Convertible Securities or Options are converted, exercised or exchanged or any Purchase Rights are issued or exercised as a result of which the percentage of the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding held by Holder is or would be reduced, the Company shall provide prompt written notice to the Holder and shall issue to Holder without any consideration and without reducing the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant (to the extent any portion hereof then remains unexercised) that number of shares of Common Stock or other applicable capital stock of the Company as is necessary for the Holder to maintain or be restored to holding the same percentage of the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding that was held by Holder prior to such conversion, exercise or exchange of Convertible Securities, Options or Purchase Rights, as applicable.

  1. Warrant Share Put Rights. Holder shall have the right by delivering written notice to the Company (a “Put Notice”) at any time and from time to time within six months after the issuance of any specific Warrant Shares under this Warrant to elect to require the Company to purchase some or all of such Warrant Shares then held by the Holder in exchange for cash or, at the election of the Company, Put Notes (such right, the “Warrant Share Put Right”). The Put Notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares which the Holder is electing to require the Company to purchase and the original principal amount of Put Notes to be delivered as consideration therefor. The Put Notes issued by the Company to purchase the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant Shares Put Right shall be issued against the surrender to the Company of the Warrant Shares as to which the Put Notes are issuable and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to the Put Notice multiplied by (a) in the case of Warrant Shares issued upon a forced conversion pursuant to Section 3(i), the greater of (i) the average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock during the forty-five (45) consecutive trading days taken into account in determining the satisfaction of the Conditions to Forced Exercise and

EXECUTION COPY

(ii) the average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock during the forty-five (45) consecutive trading days preceding the date of delivery of the applicable Put Notice and (b) in the case of Warrant Shares issued upon the election of the Holder to exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(a), (ii) the average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock during the 10 consecutive trading days preceding the date of delivery of the applicable Put Notice.

  1. Transfer of Warrant. This Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, by the Holder without charge to the Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices with a properly completed and duly executed Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, together with funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes described in Section 3(f)(v) in connection with the making of such transfer. Upon such compliance, surrender and delivery and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant, if any, not so assigned and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.

  2. Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder; Limitations on Liability. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein (including Section 4(d)(vii)), prior to the issuance to the Holder of any of the Warrant Shares which the Holder is entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of any Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed in and of itself to confer upon the Holder by virtue of holding this Warrant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed in and of itself as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 8, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.

Replacement on Loss; Division and Combination.

(a) Replacement of Warrant on Loss. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and upon delivery of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being understood that a written indemnification agreement or affidavit of loss of the Holder shall be a sufficient indemnity and in no event shall the Holder be required to post a bond or other security in connection with any loss, theft, destruction or mutilation or the other matters described in this Section 9) and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant for cancellation to the Company, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu hereof, a new Warrant of like tenor and exercisable for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant so lost, stolen,

EXECUTION COPY

mutilated or destroyed; provided, that, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

(b) Division and Combination of Warrant. This Warrant may be divided or, following any such division of this Warrant, subsequently combined with other Warrants, upon the surrender of this Warrant or Warrants to the Company at its then principal executive offices, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the respective Holders or their agents or attorneys. The Company shall at its own expense execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with such notice.

Senior Secured Promissory Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement Form of Board Observer Agreement

EXECUTION COPY

BOARD OBSERVER AGREEMENT

This Board Observer Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of February 7, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Noble Roman’s, Inc., an Indiana corporation (the “Company”), and Corbel Capital Partners SBIC, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (collectively, and together with any successors and any permitted assigns of the Warrant, “Holder”).

Background

A. Pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Senior Secured Promissory Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and the related Warrants to Purchase Shares of Common Stock dated February 7, 2020, issued by the Company in favor of Holder (each, as amended, modified, supplemented, and including any Warrant issued in exchange therefor, the “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”), Holder is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and other conditions set forth in the respective Warrants, an aggregate of 2,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”).

B. The Company and Holder desire to memorialize Holder’s right to designate at Holder’s option one person to serve as an Observer (as defined below) and to delineate such Observer rights regarding the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the Company (including any applicable committees thereof, the “Board”), as further described and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

  1. Observer Rights. The Company hereby grants to Holder the option and right to appoint up to two representatives (each an “Observer”), which Observer shall have the right to attend all meetings (including telephonic or videoconference meetings and meetings held in executive session) of the Board and all applicable committees thereof in a non-voting, observer capacity; provided, however, that if requested by the Company any such Observer shall have executed and delivered to the Company in its capacity as an Observer a copy of the Acknowledgement and Agreement to be Bound in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Acknowledgement”). Except as set forth in Section 2, each Observer may observe and participate fully in discussions at all meetings of the Board and any committee thereof, but in no event shall any such Observer in its capacity as such: (a) be deemed to be a member of the Board or any committee thereof; (b) have or be deemed to have, or otherwise be subject to, any duties (fiduciary or otherwise) to the Company or its shareholders, as applicable; or (c) have the right to vote on or propose any motions or resolutions for a vote or approval by the Board. The Company shall allow each Observer to attend all meetings of the Board and each applicable committee thereof in person (if an in-person meeting) or by telephone or other electronic means of communication by which such meeting is held and pursuant to which all participants in the meetings can hear and be heard by each other. Without limiting the notice and information rights and obligations in Section 2 below, the presence of an Observer shall not be required for purposes of establishing a quorum at any meeting of the Board or any committee thereof. Each Observer shall serve at the pleasure of Holder and may only be removed or replaced by Holder during the period during which this Agreement is in effect. The Holder has separately designated to the Company its initial two Observers, which the Company confirms are acceptable to the Company. The Company shall have the right to consent to the Holder’s designation of any successor Observer hereunder, such consent not to unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

EXECUTION COPY

2.

Notice and Information Rights.

2.1 The Company shall provide to each Observer copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials that the Company provides to its Board or committee members, including any draft versions, proposed written consents and exhibits and annexes to any such materials (collectively, “Board Materials”), at the same time and in the same manner as such information is delivered to the other Board or committee members. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence or anything else to the contrary contained herein, the Company may withhold certain Board Materials from any Observer or exclude any Observer from certain meetings of the Board or applicable committee if the Board or applicable committee thereof determines, in good faith and based upon advice of legal counsel experienced in such matters, that such action is necessary to preserve attorney-client privilege with respect to a specific legal advice or attorney work product materials; provided, however, that any such exclusion right may only be invoked with respect to such portion of such materials or meetings that would upon advice of counsel experienced in such matters be required to preserve such attorney- client privilege.

3.

Confidential Information.

3.1 To the extent any information obtained by an Observer from the Company (or any director, officer, manager, employee or agent thereof) is Confidential Information (defined below), Holder shall, and shall request each applicable Observer to, treat any such Confidential Information as confidential in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this Section 3.

3.2 As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any and all information or data concerning the Company, whether in verbal, visual, written, electronic or other form, that is disclosed to the applicable Observer by the Company or any director, officer, manager, employee or agent of the Company (including all Board Materials that are non-public information), together with all information discerned from, based on or relating to any of the foregoing that may be prepared or created by any such Observer or Holder provided, however, that “Confidential Information” shall not include information that: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of disclosure of such information by Holder or an Observer) in violation of a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation owed to the applicable Company to which such information relates; (b) is independently developed by Holder or an Observer without use of Confidential Information provided by the Company or any director, officer, manager, employee or agent of the Company; (c) becomes available to Holder at any time on a non-confidential basis from a third party that is not, to Holder’s knowledge, prohibited from disclosing such information to Holder or an Observer by any contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to the Company; or (d) was known by Holder or an Observer prior to its, his or her receipt thereof from the Company or any agent or representative of any Company.

3.3 Holder shall, and shall request each Observer to: (a) retain all Confidential Information in strict confidence; (b) not release or disclose Confidential Information in any manner to any other person or entity (other than disclosures to Holder, its affiliates or to any of its or their respective agents or representatives who have a need to know such information and are informed of its confidential nature); and (c) use the Confidential Information solely in connection with: (i) Holder’s and any Observer’s rights hereunder; or (ii) monitoring, reviewing and analyzing Holder’s investment or rights in or with respect to the Company and not for any other purpose; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any disclosure by any Observer that otherwise is consistent with such Observer’s fiduciary duties or otherwise reasonably necessary for such Observer to perform his or her duties and obligations in his or her capacity as such, or any disclosure to the extent that Holder, its affiliates, any of its agents or representatives or any Observer is, pursuant to the advice of its counsel experienced in

EXECUTION COPY

such matters, compelled to disclose Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or by requirements of law.

3.4 The Holder is aware, and will advise its representatives (including each Observer) who are informed of the matters that are the subject of this Agreement, of the restrictions imposed by United States securities laws on the purchase or sale of securities by any person who has received material, non-public information from the issues of such securities and on the communication of such information to any other person where it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance on such information.

3.5 In the event of the breach or a threatened breach by Holder of any of the provisions of Section 3, the Company would suffer irreparable harm, and in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security).

  1. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect (other than provisions which are expressly designated as surviving termination) upon the latest to occur of (a) the expiration of the Exercise Period (as defined in the Warrants, and subject to any applicable extensions thereof under the terms of the Warrant or as agreed by the Company and Holder), under the respective Warrants (b) the date on which all payment and other obligations under any Put Notes (as defined in the Warrants) issued to Holder as a result of its exercise of the Put Right have been satisfied in full and such Put Notes no longer are outstanding, (c) the date on which there are no Obligations (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) outstanding under the Purchase Agreement, and (d) the date on which Holder and its affiliates or transferees no longer beneficially own at least 100,000 shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company (also counting for this purpose any shares subject to Warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company) of the Company; provided, that no such termination shall affect the rights or obligations provided in Section 5 or affect any other provision that is intended to survive such termination as provided herein.

  2. Indemnification. Each Observer shall be entitled to rights to indemnification and contribution from the Company to the same extent provided by the Company to its directors or officers under the applicable governing documents (and with respect to directors or officers of the Company, any insurance policies) of the Company as in effect on the Effective Date or from time to time thereafter. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing rights to indemnification, contribution and insurance coverage

(a) constitute third-party rights extended to each Observer by the Company and shall be enforceable by and for the benefit of such Observer in accordance with their terms and this Section 5, notwithstanding that an Observer is not a signatory hereto and (b) are intended to be primary rights of and protections for Observer, notwithstanding that any each Observer may be entitled to claim or assert other rights to or benefits from other insurance policies, indemnification, or contribution, and no Observer shall be required to assert his or her rights with respect to any other available insurance, exculpation contribution, or exhaust any other rights or remedies, prior or as a condition to invoking such Observer’s rights pursuant to this Section 5. This provision shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

  1. Amendment and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, waived or modified upon the written approval of the Company and Holder.

  2. Benefit of Parties; Assignability. All of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and enforceable against any entity succeeding the Company by merger or consolidation or acquisition or reorganization or otherwise, and all of the Company’ covenants and agreements shall inure

EXECUTION COPY

to the benefit of Holder, each Observer, and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns. No party may assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement, except in compliance with the terms hereof; provided, that the foregoing shall not affect Holder’s rights to transfer any Warrant or any rights with respect thereto in whole or in part in accordance with the terms of such Warrant.

  1. Survival. The provisions contained in this Agreement shall survive the termination hereof to the extent expressly provided herein or necessary to enforce the rights set forth therein.

  2. Captions. The captions of the Sections of this Agreement are solely for convenient reference and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

  3. Governing Law. The validity and effect of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules.

  4. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE COMPANY AND HOLDER HEREBY WAIVE (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) ANY RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION IN ANY COURT WITH RESPECT TO, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE VALIDITY, PROTECTION, INTERPRETATION, COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF. THE COMPANY AND HOLDER EACH AGREE THAT THIS SECTION IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT COMPANY AND HOLDER WOULD NOT ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT IF THIS SECTION WERE NOT PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.

  5. Notices. Any notice, request, other communication, or payment required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon delivery, if delivered personally, by facsimile, or by recognized overnight courier service, or five (5) days after deposit, if deposited in the United States mail for mailing by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to the Company at the address provided to Holder by Company or Holder at the address provided to the Company by Holder (as the case may be).

  6. Remedies. The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to and not exclusive of other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. The exercise or waiver by Holder or Company of any right or remedy available under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

  7. Construction. Where specific language is used to clarify by example a general statement contained herein (such as by using the word “including”), such specific language will not modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement will include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms. The words “include” and “including,” and other words of similar import when used herein, will not be terms of limitation but rather will be read as being followed in each case by the words “without limitation.” The words “herein,” “hereto” and “hereby,” and other words of similar import in this Agreement, will in each case refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section or other subdivision of this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly stated, the term “party” means a party hereto and “parties” means, collectively, all parties hereto. The term “person” means any natural person or legal entity or organization. The defined terms contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. All references herein to sections and exhibits will be construed to refer to sections of, and exhibits to, this Agreement. The term “or” is inclusive unless otherwise indicated by context. If at any time there shall be more than one holder of the Warrants, the rights of the Holder shall

EXECUTION COPY

be exercised by such holders whose Warrants represent a majority of the shares of Common Stock then issuable under all unexercised Warrants.
