No action, suit or proceeding before any arbitrator or any governmental authority shall have been commenced, and no investigation by any governmental authority shall have been commenced, against the Company or any subsidiary, or any of the officers, directors or Affiliates of the Company or any subsidiary seeking to restrain, prevent or change the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, or seeking damages in connection with such transactions.

ARTICLE VI

DRAW DOWN TERMS

Section 6.01 Draw Down Terms. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and subject to Section 6.02 below, the Parties agree (unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Parties in writing) as follows:

(a) The Company may, in its sole discretion (subject to Section 6.01(k) below), issue a Draw Down Notice (as defined in Section 6.01(i) hereof) for a specified Draw Down Amount Requested. Subject to Section 6.01(h) below, the Purchaser shall pay a per-Share amount equal to 90% of the average Daily Closing Price during the Draw Down Pricing Period (the “Purchase Price”). Subject to Section 4.06 hereof, the Draw Down Amount Requested shall not exceed seven hundred percent (700%) (the “Draw Down Limit”) of the average daily trading volume for the 15 Trading Days immediately preceding the Draw Down Exercise Date.

(b) Prior to commencement of the Draw Down Pricing Period, the Company shall deliver the Shares to be purchased in such Draw Down to the Purchaser. If Shares delivered to the Purchaser prior to commencement of the Draw Down Pricing Period are delivered in certificated form and not DWAC Eligible, then the Draw Down Pricing Period shall not begin until the Shares or ADSs representing the Shares are cleared by an appointed clearing agent.

(c) Only one Draw Down shall be allowed in each Draw Down Pricing Period, save and except for such Draw Down Notice issued by the Company pursuant to Sections 6.01(k) and 6.01(l).

(d) Each Draw Down shall be settled on the first Trading Day after the end of each Draw Down Pricing Period (the “Settlement Date”).

(e) In connection with each Draw Down, the Purchaser shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to purchase Shares with a Draw Down Amount equal to between 100% and 200% of the Draw Down Amount Requested, such option to be exercised by written notice to the Company two (2) Business Days prior to the Settlement Date. For the avoidance of doubt and as provided in Section 6.02, the Purchaser shall not be required to subscribe for Shares that exceed the Aggregate Limit.

(f) At the end of each Draw Down Pricing Period, the Purchaser’s total Draw Down commitment under this Agreement shall be reduced by the total Draw Down Amount for such Draw Down Pricing Period.

(g) Each Draw Down will automatically expire immediately after the last Trading Day of each Draw Down Pricing Period.

(h) Each Draw Down Notice shall set forth the Threshold Price set by the Company for such Draw Down. If the Daily Closing Price on a given Trading Day in the Draw Down Pricing Period, multiplied by 9/10, is less than the Threshold Price, then the total Draw Down Amount Requested will be reduced by 1/20th, and, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, no Shares will be purchased or sold with respect to such Trading Day and the Daily Closing Price on such Trading Day shall be excluded from the calculation of the Purchase Price.

(i) As a condition to the exercise of any Draw Down, the Company must (i) provide a notice to the Purchaser of the Company’s exercise of any Draw Down via email before commencement of trading on the first Trading Day of the Draw Down Pricing Period covered by such notice (the “Draw Down Notice”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, and (ii) pursuant to Section 6.01(b), deliver the Shares to the Purchaser in an amount equal to the Draw Down Amount Requested (which amount shall be adjusted in the event that the amount accepted by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.01(a) hereof is different than the Draw Down Amount Requested). The date the Company delivers the Draw Down Notice and the Shares in accordance with this Section 6.01(i) shall be a “Draw Down Exercise Date.” The Draw Down Notice shall specify the Draw Down Amount Requested, set the Threshold Price for such Draw Down and designate the first Trading Day of the Draw Down Pricing Period that the Company wishes to grant to the Purchaser during the Draw Down Pricing Period.

(j) On each Settlement Date, the Purchaser shall (i) provide the Company a closing notice in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto; (ii) make payment for the Shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement to the Company’s designated account by wire transfer of immediately available funds, provided that the Shares were received by the Purchaser in accordance with Section 6.01(b) hereof; and (iii) return to the Company any Shares delivered to the Purchaser in connection with the applicable Draw Down Notice pursuant to Section 6.01(b) that have not been purchased by Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof, it being understood that Purchaser shall have the ability to sell any purchased Shares at any time following their deposit pursuant to Section 6.01(b).

(k) In addition to any Draw Down Notice the Company has discretion to issue pursuant to Section 6.01(a), the Purchaser and the Company agree that the Company may issue Draw Down Notices reflecting the minimum amounts to be settled on the dates provided in the table in Appendix I hereto. If so issued, then such Draw Down Notices shall be issued sufficiently in advance of the anticipated settlement dates to enable the calculation of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 6.01(a). Notwithstanding any contrary provisions or restrictions under this Section 6.01(h), the Purchaser unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay the Draw Down Amount in each such Draw Down Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Draw Down Amount Requested in each Draw Down Notice made pursuant to this Section 6.01(k) (the “Appendix I Minimum Draw Down Amount”) shall not be subject to the Draw Down Limit set out in Section 6.01(a) above, nor shall such Draw Down Notice include a Threshold Price as contemplated by Section 6.01(h). Prior to commencement of the Draw Down Pricing Period in respect of a Draw Down Notice issued pursuant to this Section 6.01(k), the Company shall deliver a number of Shares to the Purchaser equal to the Draw Down Amount, divided by 90% of the Daily Closing Price on the Trading Day before the date of such Draw Down Notice (the “Minimum Draw Down Shares”). On the Settlement Date, (x) if the Purchase Price times the Minimum Draw Down Shares is lower than the Appendix I Minimum Draw Down Amount, then the Purchaser shall pay the Appendix I Minimum Draw Down Amount on the Settlement Date, and the Company shall deliver an additional number of Shares that, together with the Minimum Draw Down Shares, shall equal the Appendix I Minimum Draw Down Amount divided by the Purchase Price, or (y) if the Purchase Price times the Minimum Draw Down Shares exceeds the Appendix I Minimum Draw Down Amount, then the Purchaser shall follow the mechanism set out in Section 6.01(e) (i.e. to purchase Shares with a Draw Down Amount equal to between 100% to 200% of the Appendix I Minimum Draw Down Amount) to purchase the Shares from the Company and pay the relevant consideration to the Company in accordance with Section 6.01(j).

(l) In addition to any Draw Down Notice the Company has discretion to issue pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and any Draw Down Notice the Company has discretion to issue pursuant to Section 6.01(k), the Company agrees to issue Draw Down Notices reflecting the minimum amounts to be settled on the dates provided in the table in Appendix II hereto. If so issued, then such Draw Down Notices shall be issued sufficiently in advance of the anticipated settlement dates to enable the calculation of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 6.01(a). The Purchaser agrees to pay the Draw Down Amount Requested in each such Draw Down Notice, subject to the provisions of this Section 6.01, including the Draw Down Limit set out in Section 6.01(a) above and any Threshold Price specified in such Draw Down Notice pursuant to Section 6.01(h) above.

Section 6.02 Aggregate Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event may the Company issue a Draw Down Notice to the extent that the sale of Shares pursuant thereto and pursuant to all prior Draw Down Notices issued pursuant to Section 6.01 would cause the Company to sell or the Purchaser to purchase an aggregate number of Shares exceeding the Aggregate Limit. If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice that otherwise would permit the Purchaser to purchase a number of Shares which would cause the aggregate purchases by Purchaser hereunder to exceed the Aggregate Limit, such Draw Down Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent by which number of Shares issuable pursuant to such Draw Down Notice, together with the number of Shares purchased by the Purchaser pursuant hereto, would exceed the Aggregate Limit.

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION

Section 7.01 Term, Termination by Mutual Consent. Unless earlier terminated as provided hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate automatically on the earlier of (i) seventy-two (72) consecutive months from the Effective Date (the “Investment Period”); and (ii) the date the Purchaser shall have purchased the Aggregate Limit. This Agreement may be terminated immediately at any time by mutual written consent of the Parties, effective as of the date of such mutual written consent unless otherwise provided in such written consent; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not terminate until the Company has delivered to the Purchaser the number of Shares required to be delivered hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchaser has settled the consideration with regards to all previous Draw Downs , if any.

Section 7.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination by the Company or the Purchaser, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated without further action by either party, it being understood that the Registration Rights Agreement shall not terminate and shall continue to survive in accordance with its terms. If this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 7.01 herein, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, except as provided in Section 9.09 hereof.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.01 General Indemnity.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each Person who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys’ fees) to which the Purchaser and each such controlling Person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) (collectively, “Losses,” and each, a “Loss”) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained, or incorporated by reference, in the Registration Statement relating to the Shares being sold to the Purchaser (including any prospectus relating thereto), or any amendment or supplement to it, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement or any document incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) breach of representation, warranty or covenant of the Company contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including a failure to deliver the Shares to the Purchaser by the deadline set forth herein, whether or not such Losses are a result of a claim by a third party. Pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof, the Company will reimburse the Purchaser and each such controlling Person promptly upon demand for any legal or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by the Purchaser or such controlling Person in investigating, defending against, or preparing to defend against any such Loss.

(b) Indemnification by the Purchaser. The Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act from and against any Losses that arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, included in the Registration Statement in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by the Purchaser to the Company for inclusion in the Registration Statement, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, the untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by the Purchaser to the Company for inclusion in the Registration Statement, or (iii) breach of representation, warranty or covenant of the Purchaser or GYBL contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including a failure to make payment for the Shares acquired to the Company by the deadline set forth herein, whether or not such Losses are as a result of a claim by a third party. Pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof, the Purchaser will reimburse the Company and each such director, officer or controlling Person promptly upon demand for any legal or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or the other Person in investigating, defending against, or preparing to defend against any such Loss.

Section 8.02 Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after a Person receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the Person intends to seek indemnification under Section 8.01, the Person will notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or commencement of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under Section 8.01, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice. The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification is being sought, and if the indemnifying party acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the party against whom the claim or action is brought, the indemnifying party may (but will not be required to) assume the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel satisfactory to it. After an indemnifying party notifies an indemnified party that the indemnifying party wishes to assume the defense of a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any legal or other expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnifying party, one or more of the indemnified parties should be separately represented in connection with a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties. Each indemnified party, as a condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Section 8.01, will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party in the defense of any action or claim as to which indemnification is sought. No indemnifying party will be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent. No indemnifying party will, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of a pending or threatened action with respect to which an indemnified party is, or is informed that it may be, made a party, and for which it would be entitled to indemnification, unless the settlement includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability and claims which are the subject matter of the pending or threatened action. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is not available to, or is not sufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any loss or liability referred to in Section 8.01 as to which it is entitled to indemnification thereunder, each indemnifying party will, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss or liability, (i) in the proportion which is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and by the indemnified party on the other from the sale of the Shares which is the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding which resulted in the loss or liability or (ii) if that allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits of the sale of such Shares, but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party with respect to the statements or omissions which are the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding that resulted in the loss or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

ARTICLE IX
