NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and for other consideration, the adequacy and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1.    Amendment to the Original Note. The Original Note is hereby amended as follows:

a.    The “Maturity Date” set forth in the Original Note is hereby amended to September 31, 2021.

b.    Section 5.1 of the Original Note is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“5.1 Conversion. Upon the occurrence of a Qualified Financing that is consummated prior to the Maturity Date (or if the Notes are not repaid in full on the Maturity Date, such later date prior to the repayment of the Notes in full as may be specified in writing from time to time by the Required Noteholders), then the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any unpaid accrued interest shall automatically convert in whole without any further action by the Holder into shares of Conversion Stock at the Conversion Price. The issuance of Conversion Stock pursuant to the conversion of this Note shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to such Conversion Stock in the Qualified Financing (except that the Notes shall be converted into Conversion Stock at the conversion price specified in this Section 5.1); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with a Qualified Financing that is a SPAC Transaction, the issuance of Conversion Stock shall be deemed to occur immediately prior to the closing of the SPAC Transaction. As used herein, the following terms shall have the meaning set forth below:

“Conversion Price” means, (i) with respect to any Series D Preferred Shares, a conversion price equal to the cash price paid per share paid for the Series D Preferred Shares by the Investors in the Qualified Financing multiplied by 0.70, and (ii) with respect to common stock of the Company in connection with a SPAC Transaction, the lesser of (A) 0.70 multiplied by the per share value attributed to the shares of the Company’s common stock as set forth in the definitive agreement entered into with respect to the SPAC Transaction, and (B) the per share value that would be attributed to the Company’s common stock assuming a pre-transaction valuation of the Company in connection with the SPAC Transaction of $700,000,000.

“Conversion Stock” means, (a) in the case of a Qualified Financing that is an equity financing, Series D Preferred Shares issued in connection with such Qualified Financing, or (b) in the case of a Qualified Financing that is a SPAC Transaction, shares of common stock of the Company, which shall be exchangeable into common stock of the SPAC (or comparable type of securities) issued to the stockholders of the Company in connection with the SPAC Transaction.

“Qualified Financing” means, as applicable, either: (i) a bona fide arms-length SPAC Transaction, or (ii) a bona fide arms-length equity financing in which the

Company issues and sells shares of the Series D Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series D Preferred Shares”) to investors (the “Investors”) in exchange for total cash proceeds received by the Company equal to not less than $50,000,000 (including the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and the unpaid accrued interest thereon that are converted into Series D Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 5.1 and the corresponding conversion provisions of the Notes); provided, however, that such an equity financing shall only be deemed a Qualified Financing if (A) such financing has been approved by and on behalf of the Company by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with the applicable requirements set forth in the organizational documents of the Company and meets all of the other conditions described in the certificate to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.3, and (B) the proceeds from such equity financing are available in full to the Company as of the date of consummation thereof (with no portion of such proceeds being withheld or placed in escrow or subject to any other holdback or deferred payment arrangement) for purposes of funding the growth and development of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with the operating budget of the Company in effect as of such date that has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

“SPAC” means, a Special Purpose Acquisition Company.

“SPAC Transaction” means, a business combination of the Company with a SPAC pursuant to which all or substantially all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company and all or substantially all other securities of the Company issuable or convertible into such capital stock are converted into cash and/or shares of such SPAC.”

2.    Severability. Any term or provision of this Amendment that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

3.    Entire Agreement. The Original Note, as amended by this Amendment, and the other agreements referred to therein, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and hereof and no party shall be liable or bound to any other in any manner by any oral or written representations, warranties, covenants and agreements except as specifically set forth therein and herein. Except as modified by this Amendment, the Original Note shall remain in full force and effect in all respects without any modification.

4.    Governing Law. The provisions of Sections 7.2 of the Original Note are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.

5.    Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Counterparts may also be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including, PDF or any

electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or other applicable law) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
