(b)Exercise of Optional Redemption. If the Company elects to effect an Optional Redemption, the Company shall send to the Holders a written notice in accordance with Section 16 (i) notifying the Holders of the election of the Company to redeem all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Redemption Date, and (ii) stating the place or places at which the shares of such Series A Preferred Stock shall, upon presentation and surrender of the certificates evidencing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, be redeemed (and other instructions a Holder must follow to receive payment), and the Redemption Price therefor (such notice, a “Notice of Optional Redemption”). The Redemption Date selected by the Company shall be no less than ten (10) Business Days and no more than thirty (30) Business Days after the date on which the Company provides the Notice of Optional Redemption to the Holders. The Notice of Optional Redemption shall state the Redemption Date selected by the Company.

(c)Effect of Redemption. If notice has been mailed in accordance with Section 6(b) above and if on or before the Redemption Date specified in such notice, all funds necessary for such redemption shall have been segregated and irrevocably set apart by the Company and deposited with the Paying Agent in trust for the pro rata benefit of the Holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, so as to be, and to continue to be available therefor, then, on and after the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the applicable Redemption Price, Dividends on the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to accumulate and all rights of the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall terminate except for the right to receive from the Company the Redemption Price, without interest; provided that if a Notice of Optional Redemption shall have been given and the funds necessary for redemption (including an amount in respect of all Dividends that will accrue to the Redemption Date) shall have been segregated and irrevocably set apart by the Company and deposited with the Paying Agent in trust for the pro rata benefit of the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Dividends shall cease to accumulate on the Redemption Date on the Series A Preferred Stock and, at the close of business on the day on which such funds are segregated and set apart, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to be stockholders of the Company and shall be entitled only to receive the Redemption Price for such shares. Upon surrender, in accordance with said notice, of the certificates, if any, for the Series A Preferred Stock (to the extent applicable, properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Company shall so require and the notice shall so state), such shares shall be redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price.

For the avoidance of doubt, following the exercise of the put right set forth in this Section 6(d), the Company’s failure to purchase the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock in cash within ten (10) calendar days thereof shall constitute a “Non-Compliance Event” and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11.

(e)Put Right for Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series A-3 Preferred Stock.

(i)Unless the Company redeems the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and the Series A-3 Preferred Stock in accordance with this Section 6 by the Put Date, any Holder of Series A-2 Preferred Stock or Series A-3 Preferred Stock shall have the right to put all (but not less than all) of such Holder’s shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series A-3 Preferred Stock to the Company (a “Put Demand”) at any time from and after the Put Date at a price per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to (A) the Stated Value per share of Series A Preferred Stock to be subject to the put right plus (B) an amount equal to the Accrued Dividends with respect to such share, calculated in accordance with Section 4, plus (C) accrued and unpaid dividends since the most recent Dividend Payment Date with respect to such share as of the applicable repurchase date by the Company (the sum of (A), (B), and (C) (including any Non-Compliance Step-Up) multiplied by the total number of shares subject to the Put Demand, the “Put Price”).

(ii)Following the exercise of the put right set forth in this Section 6(e), the Company’s failure to purchase the shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series A-3 Preferred Stock in cash within ten (10) calendar days thereof (“Put Payment Date”) shall constitute a “Non-Compliance Event” and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11. If the Company does not, or is unable to, satisfy in-full in-cash the Put Price by the Put Payment Date, the Company shall thereafter (a) use best efforts to maximize the assets legally available for paying the Put Price, including by raising new equity or obtaining additional debt to pay the Put Price, (b) pay out of all such assets legally available therefor on the applicable Put Payment Date or as promptly as practicable thereafter the Put Price for the maximum possible number of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series A-3 Preferred Stock as to which a Put Demand has been exercised that it can purchase on such date, pro rata among the Holders of such shares to be purchased in proportion to the aggregate number of shares subject to the Put Demand by each such Holder on the applicable Put Payment Date or as promptly as practicable thereafter, and (c) following the applicable Put Payment Date, at any time and from time to time when additional assets of the Company become legally available to purchase the remaining shares and the Company has satisfied all other outstanding financial and tax obligations and creditor liabilities, the Company shall immediately use such assets to pay the remaining balance of the aggregate Put Price.

(iii)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6(e)(i) and (e)(ii) to the contrary, if the Company fails to satisfy in-full in-cash the Put Price for all (but not less than all) shares of a Holder’s Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series A-3 Preferred Stock for six (6) months following receipt by the Company of a Put Demand or, if earlier, but in no event prior to the date of the Put Demand, the Board of Directors reasonably

    -14-

determines that there are no legally available funds to satisfy the Put Price, the A-2 and A-3 Majority Holders may elect (the “Promissory Note Election Notice”), in satisfaction of such holders’ rights under this Certificate of Designation, to have the Company deliver the promissory note, in the form attached to this Certificate of Designation as Exhibit A (the “Promissory Note”), payable to the order of each Holder of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series A-3 Preferred Stock in the original principal amount equal to the unpaid Put Price (as adjusted for the period elapsed between the date of delivery of the Put Demand and the date of the Promissory Note Election Notice) owed to such Holder, or such lesser amount as determined at the sole discretion of such Holder, on substantially the same terms as set forth in this Section 6.

(f)Repurchases or Other Acquisitions. Except as set forth in Section 6, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Series A Preferred Stock other than through procedures open to all Holders on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary procedures to be agreed between the Company and the Preferred Majority Holders.

(g)Status of Shares. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired in accordance with this Section 6, shall return to the status of and constitute authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without classification as to series until such shares are once more classified as a particular series by the Board pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate. For the avoidance of doubt, any subsequent classification of Preferred Stock redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired pursuant to this Section 6 shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(b)(iii) hereof.

Section 7.Transfer of Series A Preferred Stock and Promissory Note.

The Company shall recognize and register any such Transfer contemplated by Section 7(a)(i) and (ii) on its books. The Company shall not recognize any Transfer to a Prohibited Transferee or register any such Transfer on its books (which Transfer shall be void ab initio).

(b)The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in connection with any Transfer to be consummated in accordance with this Section 7, including providing reasonable and customary information (i) in connection with any such Holder’s marketing efforts or any such potential transferee’s due diligence (subject to customary confidentiality restrictions) or (ii) in order to comply with applicable U.S. federal and state Requirements of Law governing the Transfer of securities.

Section 9.Board Designation Rights.

(a)Without limitation of the rights of the Holders under Section 11 hereof, for so long as the Series A Investor and its Affiliates own at least 50% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding (excluding shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by any Excluded Holder), the Series A Investor shall have the right to appoint one observer (the “Series A Investor Observer”) to the Board and any committee thereof, subject to the execution by the Series A Investor Observer of a customary confidentiality agreement with the Company. The rights of the Series A Investor and its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 9(a) may not be Transferred without the consent of the Company. The Series A Investor Observer shall serve in such capacity until such individual’s earlier death, disability, resignation or removal by the Series A Investor and shall be subject to all obligations, policies and codes of conduct applicable to the directors of the Company.

(b)The Series A Investor Observer shall have the same observation rights afforded to the lenders under the Financing Agreement (as in effect on the Original Issue Date), including (i) being timely notified of the time and place of any such meetings (including regular and special meetings) and attending (in person or, at his/her election, telephonically) all in-person meetings and to listen to the entirety of all telephonic meetings of the Board and any of its committees or sub-committees and those of its Subsidiaries, in each case in a nonvoting observer capacity and (ii) receipt of all information, notices, reports, written consents, meeting minutes and other materials (collectively, the “Board Information”) provided to the members of the Board and any of its committees or sub-committees and those of its Subsidiaries in respect of such meeting (the “Board Members”), in each case, substantially simultaneously with, and in the same manner and to the same extent as, such Board Information is given to such Board Members, including written notice of all proposed actions to be taken at any such meeting (such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature and substance of the matters to be discussed and/or voted upon at such meeting (or the proposed actions to be taken by written consent without a meeting)), in addition to copies of the records of the proceedings or minutes of such meeting, when provided to the members thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may withhold any information and exclude the Series A Investor Observer from any meeting or portion thereof, including closed or executive sessions, if the Board determines in good faith, based on the advice of counsel, that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege or under circumstances that present a bona fide conflict of interest with respect to the applicable matter under consideration. The Company shall provide the Series A Investor Observer with reimbursement for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Series A Investor Observer in connection with the exercise of its rights and roles hereunder.

(c)The Series A Investor Observer may be removed at any time without cause by the Series A Investor, and any vacancy with respect to the Series A Investor Observer may be filled by the Series A Investor. In the event that the Series A Investor and its Affiliates no longer own at least 50% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding (excluding

    -19-

shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by any Excluded Holder), the term of office of the Series A Investor Observer shall immediately terminate, and the Board may remove the Series A Investor Observer from the Board.

(d)If the Company fails to have an Adjusted EBITDA of at least $40 million for the 2024 fiscal year and the Holders of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series A-3 Preferred Stock hold Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series A-3 Preferred Stock representing an aggregate Stated Value of at least $23,976,322.56, the A-2 and A-3 Majority Holders shall be entitled, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Certificate, the Bylaws, the Share Subscription Agreement or other agreements by or among the stockholders of the Company, to the appointment of one (1) individual of the A-2 and A-3 Majority Holders’ choosing and at such Holders’ sole discretion to the Board of Directors, not later than the date of the immediately upcoming meeting of shareholders for the election of directors. Further, if the Holders of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series A-3 Preferred Stock hold Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series A-3 Preferred Stock representing an aggregate Stated Value of at least $23,976,322.56 (or, to the extent the right in the preceding sentence shall have been triggered, at least $71,928,967.69), as of January 1, 2026, the A-2 and A-3 Majority Holders shall be entitled, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Certificate, the Bylaws, the Share Subscription Agreement or other agreements by or among the stockholders of the Company, to the appointment of one (1) additional individual of the A-2 and A-3 Majority Holders’ choosing and at such Holders’ sole discretion to the Board of Directors, not later than the date of the immediately upcoming meeting of shareholders for the election of directors. In each case the directors serving immediately prior to such board changes described in this Section 9(d) shall approve the appointment of such additional directors designated by the A-2 and A-3 Majority Holders as the case may be. If the A-2 and A-3 Majority Holders fail to elect a sufficient number of directors to fill all directorships for which they are entitled to elect directors, voting exclusively and as a separate class, under this Section 9(d), then any directorship not so filled shall remain vacant until such time as the A-2 and A-3 Majority Holders elect an individual to fill such directorship by vote or written consent.

(b)The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holders, each of their respective Affiliates and controlling persons and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, agents, advisors and other representatives (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to the Certificate (including this Certificate of Designation) (a “Proceeding”), regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto or whether such Proceeding is brought by the Company, any of its Affiliates or any third party, and to reimburse each Indemnified Person within thirty (30) days following written demand therefor (together with reasonably detailed backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request) for any reasonable and documented legal or other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any Proceeding; provided, that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they arise from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of, or material breach of the Certificate (including this Certificate of Designation) or the Share Subscription Agreement by, such Indemnified Person, in each case as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Interest shall accrue on all outstanding Principal at the Interest Rate on a daily basis from the date of delivery of the Promissory Note Election Notice (“Interest”) until all outstanding Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest thereon under this Note are paid in full (all outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest thereon payable under this Note from time to time are collectively referred to herein as the “Debt”). Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year.

This Note is referenced in, and has been issued as of the date hereof pursuant to, that certain Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A-1, Series A-2 and Series A-3 Preferred Stock dated as of December 14, 2023 (“Certificate of Designation”). This Note becomes effective upon the Holder delivering the Promissory Note Election Notice pursuant to Section 6(e)(iii) of the Certificate of Designation.

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall interest accrue at an Interest Rate greater than (i) 20% per annum or (ii) the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law. Interest and other amounts payable pursuant to this Note shall accrue

(d)the entry of one or more judgments or decrees against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries involving in the aggregate at any time a liability (net of any insurance or indemnity payments actually received in respect thereof prior to or within 60 days from the entry thereof, or to be received in respect thereof in the event any appeal thereof shall be unsuccessful) in excess of $10,000,000, and all such judgments or decrees shall not have been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within 60 days from the entry thereof;

(e)the occurrence of a Change of Control;

5.Remedies.

(a)Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default beyond the applicable cure periods, if any, provided therefor, the entire Debt then outstanding will at once become due and payable without presentation, protest or further demand or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and the Holder may proceed to enforce payment of such balance or part thereof employing all remedies available to it in law or equity until the Debt is satisfied in full.

(b)All Remedies Available. The Holder may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity, action at law and/or other appropriate proceeding, either for specific performance of any covenant or condition contained in this Note or in any instrument or assignment delivered to the Holder pursuant to this Note, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Note or any such instrument or assignment.

(c)No Waiver of Remedies. For the avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of an Event of Default does not preclude the Holder from exercising its right to require payment pursuant to provisions of Section 1(a) in the form of setting the Maturity Date by demand. The Holder’s failure to exercise any remedy available to the Holder will not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event of any subsequent default.

The Company may not assign or delegate its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Holder, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be void and of no effect. This Note applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds the successors of the parties hereto.

10.Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to any conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any other law.

(b)Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties (i) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts of Delaware and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (ii) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in the state courts of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and (iii) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court.

(c)WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE, THE SECURITIES OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THIS SECTION HAS BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES AND THESE PROVISIONS WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY EXCEPTIONS. EACH PARTY FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT SUCH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT SUCH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

(b)The Company will not, by any voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will, at all times, in good faith, assist in carrying out of all the provisions of this Note and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment.

12.No Waiver by Holder. No delay or omission by the Holder in exercising any right under this Note shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A waiver or consent given by the Holder on any one occasion shall be effective only in that instance and shall not be construed as a bar or waiver of any right on any other occasion.

13.Expenses. In connection with the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company shall pay all costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection with any proceedings to collect any liabilities evidenced by this Note, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

14.Lost or Stolen Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the original Note, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Note, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Note of like tenor and date.

15.Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this Note in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Note in such jurisdiction or the validity, legality or enforceability of this Note, including any such provision, in any other jurisdiction, it being intended that all rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder hereunder shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Requirements of Law. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Company and the Holder will negotiate in good faith to modify this Note so as to effect the original intent of the Company and the Holder as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

16.Section Headings. The section headings contained in this Note are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the Company and the Holder and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Note. All references in this Note to Sections are to sections of this Note, unless otherwise indicated.
