PARTICIPATION RIGHT

Ensysce hereby grants to each Investor the right to purchase (the “Participation Right”) up to its Pro Rata Share of New Securities which Ensysce or the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue in any Applicable Participating Right Financing commenced during the Participation Right Period.

2.2 Exercise of Participation Right. If, and each time during the Participation Rights Period, Ensysce or the Company proposes to undertake an Applicable Participation Right Financing, Ensysce or the Company, as appropriate, shall give each Investor written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities and their price and general terms upon which Ensysce or the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Investor shall have ten (10) calendar days after any such notice is mailed or delivered to agree to purchase, and purchase, up to such Investor’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and on the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to Ensysce or the Company, as appropriate, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and stating the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.

ARTICLE III.
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

3.1 Grant. Ensysce hereby grants to each Investor the right of first refusal (the “ROFR”) to purchase its Pro Rata Share of New Securities which the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue in a ROFR Eligible Financing.

3.2 Exercise of ROFR. (a) If, and each time during the ROFR Period, the Company proposes to undertake a ROFR Eligible Financing, it shall give each Investor written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities and their price and general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Investor shall have twenty (20) calendar days after any such notice is mailed or delivered to agree to purchase, and purchase, such Investor’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and on the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and stating the quantity of New Securities to be purchased. In the event that some, but not all, Investors elect to fully exercise the ROFR, at the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, the Company shall promptly notify each Investor that elected to fully exercise the ROFR (each, a “Fully Exercising Investor”) of any other Investor’s failure to fully exercise the ROFR. During the ten (10) calendar period commencing after the Company has given such notice, each Fully Exercising Investor may, by giving notice to the Company, elect to purchase (the “Overallotment Right”), in addition to the number of shares specified above, up to their Pro Rata Share of the New Securities for which Investors were entitled to subscribe pursuant to the ROFR but that were not subscribed.

(b) In the event the Investors fail to exercise fully the ROFR within said period described in Section 3.1(a) (the “Election Period”), the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the sale of New Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within thirty (30) days from the date of said agreement) to sell that portion of the New Securities with respect to which the Investors’ ROFR option set forth in Section 3.1 was not exercised, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice to Investors delivered pursuant to Section 3.2. In the event the Company has not sold within such ninety (90) day period following the Election Period, or such thirty (30) day period following the date of said agreement, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities in a ROFR Eligible Financing without first again offering such securities to the Investors in the manner provided in Section 3.1.

No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

4.3 Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

4.4 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their successors and permitted assigns, it being specifically agreed, that, upon closing of a Reverse Merger, all rights and obligations of Ensysce hereunder shall be specifically assigned to and assumed by the Company. This Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by Ensysce or the Company, as appropriate, without the prior written consent of the Investors. Any Investor may assign its rights hereunder in whole or in part to any person to whom such Investor assigns or transfers any Convertible Notes in compliance with the SPA and applicable law, provided such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement that apply to the “Investors”. Ensysce covenants and agrees to include in the merger agreement with respect any Reverse Merger, a requirement that, effective on closing of the Reverse Merger, all obligations of Ensysce contained herein shall be assumed and carried out by the Company.

Each party agrees that all Actions concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the California Courts. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the California Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such California Court, or that such Action has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

4.7 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or e-mail signature page were an original thereof.

4.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
