Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On October 12, 2022, Sientra, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Amended and Restated Facility Agreement (the “Restated Agreement”) by and among the Company as borrower, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries from time to time party thereto as guarantors and Deerfield Partners, L.P., as agent and lender (“Deerfield”). The Restated Agreement amends and restates the Company’s existing Facility Agreement with Deerfield, dated March 11, 2020 (the “Existing Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to Deerfield an unsecured and subordinated convertible note in a principal amount of $60.0 million (the “Original Note”). In connection with the Restated Agreement, on October 12, 2022, the Company and Deerfield entered into an Exchange Agreement pursuant to which Deerfield exchanged $10.0 million of principal under the Original Note for securities of the Company as further described below, reducing the outstanding principal amount of the Original Note to $50.0 million.
Pursuant to the Restated Agreement, the maturity date of the Original Note was extended until March 11, 2026, and the initial conversion price was reduced to $2.75, representing a 272% premium over the Company’s closing stock price of $0.7401 on October 11, 2022. On the date of the Restated Agreement and pursuant to the terms thereof, the Company issued and sold an additional senior secured convertible note in a principal amount of $23.0 million (the “New Note” and, together with the Original Note, the “Convertible Notes”). The New Note matures on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”), at an initial conversion price of $1.00, representing a 35% premium over the Company’s closing stock price of $0.7401 on October 11, 2022. On the payment, repayment, dischargement, redemption or prepayment of the New Note or upon a Successor Major Transaction Conversion (as defined in the New Note), the Company will pay a non-refundable exit fee equal to 1.95% of the New Note so paid, repaid, discharged, redeemed or prepaid, as the case may be. The New Note was sold in a private placement to Deerfield pursuant to an exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”). The Company made this determination based on the representations of Deerfield in the Restated Agreement, including that Deerfield is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D. In connection with the Restated Agreement and the Convertible Notes issued thereunder, all of the Company’s operating subsidiaries (each a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”) entered into a Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of October 12, 2022 (the “Guaranty and Security Agreement”), whereby the Guarantors agreed to guarantee the obligations and liabilities of the Company under the Restated Agreement and the Convertible Notes.
The Company used the proceeds from the New Note to repay in full the outstanding amounts under its Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (Term Loan), dated December 31, 2021, by and among the Company, certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and MidCap Financial Trust, as administrative agent and collateral agent (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “MidCap Term Credit Agreement”) and repay in full the outstanding amounts, and terminate the outstanding commitments, under that certain Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (Revolving Loan), dated as of July 1, 2019, by and among the Company, certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and MidCap Funding IV Trust, as administrative and collateral agent (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “MidCap Revolving Credit Agreement”).
The New Note bears interest at Term SOFR plus 5.75% per annum, payable quarterly on the last business day of each calendar quarter commencing with the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2022. The New Note is convertible at any time at the option of Deerfield, provided that Deerfield is prohibited from converting the New Note into shares of Common Stock if, upon such conversion, the Holder (together with certain affiliates and “group” members) would beneficially own more than 4.985% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the New Note, Deerfield has the option to demand repayment of all outstanding principal, and any unpaid interest accrued thereon and any other amounts payable under the Restated Agreement (including the Exit Fee (in the case of the New Note) and any make whole amounts), in connection with a Major Transaction (as defined in the Convertible Notes), which shall include, among others, any acquisition or other change of control of the Company; the sale or transfer of assets of the Company equal to more than 50% of the Enterprise Value (as defined in the Convertible Notes) of the Company; a liquidation, bankruptcy or other dissolution of the Company; or if at any time shares of the Company’s common stock are not listed on an Eligible Market (as defined in the Convertible Notes). The Convertible Notes are subject to specified events of default, the occurrence of which would entitle Deerfield to immediately demand repayment of all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Convertible Note. Such events of default include, among others, failure to make any payment under the Convertible Note when due, failure to observe or perform any covenant under the Restated Agreement or the other transaction documents related thereto (subject to a standard cure period), the failure of the Company to be able to pay debts as they come due, the commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Company, a material judgement levied against the Company and a material default by the Company under the Convertible Note. The New Note will be secured by (i) a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and (ii) a pledge of the equity interests of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (the foregoing, the “Collateral”). In addition, pursuant to the Guaranty and Security Agreement the Company and the Guarantors granted a security interest in the Collateral securing the Original Note on a pari passu basis with the New Note.
The Restated Agreement also provides for the issuance of warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “Warrants”) to the extent that the obligations under Restated Agreement and the Convertible Notes are prepaid. If issued, the Warrants will be exercisable on a cash or cashless (net exercise) basis with an initial exercise price equal to the conversion price of the Original Note and New Note, respectively, for the number of Conversion Shares (as defined in the Convertible Notes) which the repaid amount would have been convertible into and will be subject to the Beneficial Ownership Cap, as well as certain other customary anti-dilution adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events such as stock splits, subdivisions, reclassifications or combinations of Common Stock consistent with those included in the Convertible Notes. The Warrants will also provide, at the election of each holder thereof, for the payment of the exercise price therefor by reduction of the principal amount of any outstanding Convertible Notes held by such holder. Upon the consummation of a “Major Transaction” (as defined in the Warrants and consistent with the term as used in the Convertible Notes), holders of the Warrants may elect to (i) have their Warrants redeemed by the Company for an amount equal to the Black-Scholes value of such Warrant, in cash or, if applicable, in the form of the consideration paid to the Company’s stockholders in a Major Transaction, or (ii) have such Warrants be assumed by the successor to the Company in a Major Transaction, if applicable. Holders of the Warrants are also entitled to participate in any dividends or distributions to holders of Common Stock at the time such dividends or distributions are paid to such stockholders.
If issued, the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon their exercise will be issued in a private placement pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act as an exchange with existing security holders (in the case of a cashless exercise of the Warrants or, in the case of a cash exercise, Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in transactions not involving a public offering).
The Company may redeem all or any portion of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes for cash. Upon redemption of any Convertible Notes, the Company will issue Warrants covering the same number of shares of Common Stock underlying, and at an exercise price equal to the conversion price of, the redeemed Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes provide for the optional redemption of the Convertible Notes without issuance of any Warrants or payment of any additional make whole amount (unless such Convertible Note is converted following receipt of an optional redemption notice but prior to payment of the redemption amount) provided that each of the following is greater than 130% of the conversion price then in effect: (1) the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on each of any twenty (20) trading days during the period of thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending on the date on which the Company delivers an optional redemption notice, (2) the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the last trading day of such period and (3) the closing price of the Common Stock on the last trading day of such period. The Company may not effect any optional redemption during a delisting event or unless all conversion shares and warrant shares are freely tradable.
The Company is subject to a number of affirmative and restrictive covenants pursuant to the Restated Agreement, including covenants regarding compliance with applicable laws and regulations, maintenance of property, payment of taxes, maintenance of insurance, business combinations, incurrence of additional indebtedness, prepayments of other unsecured indebtedness and transactions with affiliates, among other covenants. In addition, the Company is required to seek stockholder approval for either a reverse split of its common stock or an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, with such split or increase to take effect by not later than December 26, 2022. If the Company does not receive approve for such a split or increase, then the Convertible Notes and Warrants, if any, will be settleable is cash and the Company will be in default under the Convertible Notes. The Restated Agreement also includes a covenant that the Company will seek to raise capital in an equity transaction of at least $20,000,000, which the Company intends to pursue following the closing of the Restated Agreement. The Company is also restricted from paying dividends or making other distributions or payments on its capital stock, subject to limited exceptions.

Exchange Agreement
On October 12, 2022, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Deerfield pursuant to which Deerfield agreed to exchange $10 million of principal amount under the Original Note for 2,967,742 shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Shares”) and a pre-funded warrant to purchase 10,543,946 shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Warrants”), reflecting a price per share of Common Stock equal to $0.7401, the closing price on October 11, 2022. The Exchange Shares, the Exchange Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Exchange Warrants (the “Exchange Warrant Shares”) were issued (or, in the case of the Exchange Warrant Shares, will be issued”) in a private placement pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act as an exchange with existing security holders).
The Exchange Warrants are immediately exercisable, have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, and may be exercised on a cash or cashless basis at any time until all of the Exchange Warrants are exercised in full. Under the terms of the Exchange Warrants, a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any such warrant, if, upon giving effect to such exercise, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates, any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates, and any other
persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) would exceed 4.985% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise.

Execution Version
designated transfer agent (the Transfer Agent), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein and (II) on or before the second (2nd) Trading Day (or, if earlier, the last day of the Standard Settlement Period) following the date of receipt or deemed receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice or, in the case of Major Transaction Company Shares, within the period provided in Section 3(d) (the Share Delivery Date); (A) provided that the Holder or its designee is eligible to receive Shares through DTC, credit such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holders or its designees balance account with The Depository Trust Company (DTC) through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (B) if the foregoing shall not apply, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a share or stock certificate (as the case may be), registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled. If this Note is submitted for conversion, and the Principal represented by this Note is greater than the Principal being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after receipt of this Note (the Note Delivery Date) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Note representing the Principal not converted and cancel this Note. This Note and the Conversion Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Conversion Shares if any of the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) is met.

Such investment banks or accounting firms determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any such final determination in respect of a dispute in connection with a Major Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving parent entity, shall be made prior to consummation of such Major Transaction.

Alternatively, subject to Section 2(c)(iii), at the election of the Holder made in the Holders sole discretion, the Company shall (I) pay to the Holder, in lieu of the additional damages referred to in the preceding sentence (but in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement), 105% of the amount by which (A) the Holders total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Shares purchased to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled but has not received upon a conversion exceeds (B) the net proceeds received by the Holder from the sale of the Shares to which the Holder is entitled but has not received upon such conversion, and (II) at the option of the Holder, by notice to the Company made via email prior to receipt by the Holder of the Conversion Shares, either reinstate the portion of this Note and equivalent number of Conversion Shares for which such conversion was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder. If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 2(c)(v)(A) within five (5) Business Days of the date incurred, then the Holder entitled to such payments shall have the right at any time, so long as the Company continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Company, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such cash damages, the number of Shares equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of the damages payments described herein divided by (Y) the Conversion Price in effect on such Conversion Date as specified by the Holder in the Conversion Notice.

conversion of this Note or, in the case of Excess Conversion Shares, has not received all of the Cash Settlement Amount by the due date therefor (a Conversion Failure), then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company (a Void Conversion Notice), may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to the Holders Conversion Notice or, in the case of Excess Conversion Shares, with respect to which a Cash Settlement Amount has not been paid; provided, that the voiding of the Holders Conversion Notice shall not affect the Companys obligations to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 2(c)(v)(A) or otherwise.
(C) Event of Default. A Conversion Failure shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Facility Agreement and entitle the Lenders to all payments and remedies provided under the Facility Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
(vi) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion or redemption of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless all of the Principal is being converted or redeemed.

Any such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date of such dividend or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur. If a dividend on the Common Stock, or capitalization of profits or reserves, payable in shares of its Capital Stock (including Common Stock) is declared and such dividend is not paid, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price, in effect immediately prior to such record date (giving effect to all adjustments that otherwise would be required to be made pursuant to this Section 2 from and after such record date).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall not be required to specify (in a Conversion Notice or otherwise) whether a conversion would result in Excess Conversion Shares or require payment of a Cash Settlement Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Holder delivers a Conversion Notice at any time during the Authorized Share Conversion Restriction Period, any Principal elected to be converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice (but solely to the extent in respect of any applicable Excess Conversion Shares) shall be deemed to be outstanding, and shall continue to bear interest, until the date the Cash Settlement Amount in respect of such Principal shall have been paid to the Holder (except, for the avoidance of doubt, that if the Holder delivers a Void Conversion Notice with respect thereto, such Principal shall thereafter remain outstanding and bear interest until it is otherwise satisfied or converted in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Facility Agreement). The Cash Settlement Amount shall be paid, in cash, to the Holder within three (3) Business Days following the Conversion Date in accordance with instructions provided by Holder for payments under the Facility Agreement.

(a) Major Transaction Conversion. In the event that a Major Transaction occurs, then (1) in the case of a transaction covered by the provisions of clause (A) of the definition of Major Transaction in which the Common Stock of the Company is converted into the right to receive cash, securities of another entity and/or other assets (a Successor Major Transaction), the Holder, at its option, may convert, in whole or in part, the outstanding principal amount under this Note into the right to receive upon consummation of the Major Transaction, the amount of cash and other assets and the number of securities or other property of the Successor Entity or other entity that the Holder would have received had such Holder converted the Major Transaction Conversion Amount (as defined below) into Base Conversion Shares and Additional Conversion Shares (as defined below and without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Cap, the Cap Allocation Amount, the existence of the Authorized Share Conversion Restriction Period and any other limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized, reserved and available to effect any such conversion and issuance) immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction (the Successor Consideration) and (2) in the case of any other Major Transactions not covered under clause (1) above (a Company Share Major Transaction), the Holder shall have the right to convert, in whole or in part, and from time to time, the outstanding principal amount under this Note into Base Conversion Shares and Additional Conversion Shares (or to the extent such Base Conversion Shares and/or Additional Conversion Shares constitute Excess Conversion Shares, the Cash Settlement Amount with respect thereto), without regard to the Cap Allocation Amount (Major Transaction Company Shares).
(b) Base Conversion Shares and Additional Conversion Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any conversion or deemed conversion effected in connection with a Major Transaction pursuant to this Section 3, the aggregate total number of Major Transaction Company Shares (or applicable Cash Settlement Amounts) into which all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note may be converted or, the aggregate number of conversion shares to be used for calculating the Successor Consideration, as applicable, shall be calculated to be the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of this Note then being converted would otherwise be converted as calculated under Section 2 hereof (such number of shares, the Base Conversion Shares), plus (b) the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the Additional Share Coefficient (as such term is defined and determined for each $1,000 of principal amount of this Note on Schedule I attached hereto and made a part hereof) for such Major Transaction and (y) a fraction the numerator of which is the amount of the principal amount of this Note then being converted and the denominator of which is $1,000 (such number of shares of Common Stock calculated in accordance with this clause (b), the Additional Conversion Shares).
(c) Notice; Major Transaction Conversion Election. At least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any Major Transaction but, in any event, within one (1) Business Day following the first to occur of (x) the date of the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or (y) the day following the public

announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made on and after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via (i) facsimile or electronic mail and (ii) overnight courier to the Holder (a Major Transaction Notice); provided, however, that, with respect to any Major Transaction that is not a Successor Major Transaction, the applicable deadline by which the Company must deliver the Major Transaction Notice shall be within one (1) Business Day following (x) the date of the first public announcement by any Person of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or (y) the day following the first public announcement by any Person of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made on or after 4:00 p.m., New York City time; and provided, further, that the Company shall make a public announcement of any Major Transaction not later than two (2) Trading Days after the Company first has knowledge of the occurrence thereof. Any Major Transaction Change Notice or other notice delivered or re-sent (or required to be delivered or re-sent) by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Section 3 shall be delivered (or re-sent, as applicable) to the Holder and its counsel by email or overnight courier. Each Major Transaction Notice shall prominently indicate that it is a Major Transaction Notice and the subject of any email that contains or attaches a Major Transaction Notice shall be Sientra Major Transaction Notice. Each Major Transaction Notice shall set forth the date on which the applicable Major Transaction has been or will be consummated (or, if such date is not known, the Companys good faith estimate of the date of such consummation). If a Major Transaction shall not have been consummated within thirty (30) days following the date the Major Transaction Notice with respect thereto shall have first been delivered to the Holder, then promptly following such thirtieth (30th) day, such Major Transaction Notice shall be re-sent in accordance with this Section 3(c) (excepting the time period requirement for delivery set forth above and provided, that such notice shall be updated, if applicable, to reflect the Companys good faith estimate of the date on which the Major Transaction will be consummated as of the date such notice is re-sent). Without limiting the rights and remedies of the Holder hereunder or under the Facility Documents or otherwise at law or in equity, the failure to timely deliver or re-send any Major Transaction Notice or other notice pursuant to this Section 3 or to include any required information in such notice shall toll any time period hereunder for any response responding to, or taking any action following, such notice by the Holder. At any time during the Major Transaction Conversion Period, the Holder may elect to effect a Major Transaction Conversion by delivering written notice thereof (Major Transaction Conversion Notice) to the Company, which Major Transaction Conversion Notice shall indicate the portion of the Note (the Major Transaction Conversion Amount), calculated with reference to the principal amount outstanding that the Holder is electing to treat as a Major Transaction Conversion. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be permitted to make successive conversions and send successive Major Transaction Conversion Notices in respect of a Company Share Major Transaction from time to time at any time during the Major Transaction Conversion Period.
(d) Settlement of Major Transaction Conversion. Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Conversion Notice from the Holder, the Company shall not effect a Successor Major Transaction that is being treated as a Major Transaction Conversion unless at the time of the execution of the definitive documentation relating to such Major Transaction it obtains the written agreement of the Successor Entity that payment or issuance of the Successor Consideration plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of payment, shall be made to the Holder prior to consummation of such Major Transaction and such payment or issuance, as the case may be, shall be a
16
Execution Version
condition precedent to consummation of such Major Transaction. Concurrently upon closing of such Successor Major Transaction, the Company shall pay or issue, as the case may be, or shall instruct any escrow agent for the transaction to pay or issue, and will cause the Successor Entity to issue and/or pay, the applicable Successor Consideration, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of payment. Any Major Transaction Company Shares issuable in respect of a Company Share Major Transaction shall be issued to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days following the date of each Major Transaction Conversion Notice.
(e) Damages. Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Conversion Notice from the Holder, in the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Successor Major Transaction without obtaining the written agreement of the Successor Entity described in subsection (d) above, the Holder shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting within Wilmington, Delaware to prevent the closing of such Major Transaction until the Successor Consideration is satisfied to the Holder in full.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and without derogating any obligations or rights herein, until the Holder receives its appropriate payment or securities, plus any accrued and unpaid interest under this Note, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3, this Note may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Shares, or in the event that such payments and/or shares have not been delivered prior to the consummation of the Successor Major Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving parent entity, Common Stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity at an appropriate conversion price based upon the prevailing Conversion Rate (as adjusted hereunder) at the time of such Major Transaction and price per share or conversion ratio received by holders of Common Stock in the Major Transaction.
4. Registration Failures. Upon any Registration Failure, in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and this Note, the Company shall pay additional damages to the Holder for each 30-day period (prorated for any partial period) after the date of such Registration Failure in an amount in cash equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of such Holders original principal amount of this Note on the date of such Registration Failure. Such payments shall accrue until the earlier of (i) such time as the Registration Failure has been cured and (ii) the date on which all of the Conversion Shares may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions and without the need for the availability of current public information under Rule 144). All such payments that accrue under this Section 4 shall be payable no later than five (5) business days following such date of accrual.
5. Voting Rights. Except as required by law, the Holder shall have no voting rights with respect to any of the Conversion Shares until delivery of the Conversion Notice relating to the conversion of this Note upon which such Conversion Shares are issuable.
6. Participation. The Holder, as the holder of this Note, shall be entitled to receive such dividends paid and distributions of any kind made to the holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if the Holder had converted this Note into shares of Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized and reserved to effect any such exercise and issuance) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the
17
Execution Version
preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Stock. To the extent the payment of any dividend or making of any distribution pursuant to this Section 6 would result in a Holder receiving Shares or other voting equity securities in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Cap or Cap Allocation Amount, such Holder shall not receive such excess Shares and, in lieu thereof, the Company shall pay to such Holder in cash an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of such excess Shares multiplied by (ii) the difference produced by subtracting the Conversion Price from the Closing Market Price immediately prior to the making of such dividend or distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of its capital stock (the Purchase Rights), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights that the Holder could have acquired if it had held the number of Shares acquirable upon conversion in full of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized and reserved to effect any such conversion and issuance) held by the Holder immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
7. Optional Redemption.
(a) Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Section 7, the Company shall have the right to redeem (an Optional Redemption) the Principal amount of this Note for the Optional Redemption Price. The Company shall not effect any Optional Redemption under this Note unless, contemporaneously with such Optional Redemption, the Company effects an Optional Redemption under all of the other Original Loan Convertible Notes in accordance with the terms thereof, on a pro rata basis, based upon the respective applicable original principal amount of each of the Notes outstanding as of the date the Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the holders of the Notes.
(b) To effect an Optional Redemption, the Company shall send a written notice via electronic mail to the Holder (an Optional Redemption Notice) at any time between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Trading Day and shall also deliver the Optional Redemption Notice to the Holder by overnight courier for delivery on the next Business Day. Each Optional Redemption Notice shall certify that the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 7 have been satisfied and shall indicate: (i) that the Company has elected to effect an Optional Redemption, (ii) the Principal amount hereunder that the Company is electing to redeem (the Principal Redemption Amount), (iii) the Optional Redemption Date, (iv) the aggregate principal amount of all Notes outstanding as of the date of the Optional Redemption Notice, (v) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed on the Optional Redemption Date, (vi) the number of shares underlying the Warrant(s) issuable to the Holder in respect of the Principal Redemption Amount (the Warrant Share Number) and the other terms of such Warrants in accordance with Section 2.9 of the Facility Agreement, and (vii) if the applicable Optional Redemption is conditional upon the consummation of a transaction as permitted by Section 7(c), a statement to such effect and a summary description of the transaction on which the applicable Optional Redemption is conditioned. Simultaneously with the delivery of an Optional Redemption Notice
18
Execution Version
to the Holder hereunder, the Company shall send an Optional Redemption Notice to the holders of each of the other Original Loan Convertible Notes in respect of the applicable principal amount of such Notes.
(c) If the Company elects to exercise its Optional Redemption right, it shall fix (and specify in the applicable Optional Redemption Notice) a date for redemption (an Optional Redemption Date), which shall be at least two (2) Trading Days prior to the Maturity Date and at least thirty (30) days but no more than sixty (60) days following the date the applicable Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the holders of Notes. The Optional Redemption Notice (and each Optional Redemption Notice delivered to holders of the other Original Loan Convertible Notes) shall be irrevocable (subject to the termination right of the Holder pursuant to Section 7(d)) and, upon delivery of an Optional Redemption Notice, the Optional Redemption Price, less the sum of all Redemption Period Conversion Amounts (as defined below), together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of payment thereof (and any other amounts payable thereon under the Facility Agreement, including the Make Whole Amount) shall become due and payable, and a Warrant in respect of the Warrant Share Number applicable to the Principal Redemption Amount shall become issuable in accordance with Section 2.9 of the Facility Agreement, on the Optional Redemption Date; provided that an Optional Redemption may be conditional upon the consummation of a specified transaction, if so indicated in the applicable Optional Redemption Notice, on the proposed Optional Redemption Date. In the event that the Optional Redemption is conditional upon consummation of a transaction, the Company shall notify the Holder, and publicly disclose, by no later than 8:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Optional Redemption Date whether the applicable transaction has been consummated and, accordingly, the applicable condition has been satisfied. For the avoidance of doubt, the condition shall only be deemed satisfied if so publicly disclosed as such, and upon public disclosure that the transaction has not been consummated and the condition has not been satisfied, any conversion that is conditional upon such condition being satisfied shall be null and void and of no force or effect. The failure to pay in full the amount payable to the Holder on the Optional Redemption Date and to issue a Warrant to the Holder in accordance with Section 2.9 of the Facility Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under the Facility Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder may convert all or any portion of this Note into Shares in accordance with Section 2 at any time and from time to time during each Pending Redemption Period. In the event that an Optional Redemption is conditional upon the consummation of a specified transaction, each Conversion Notice delivered during the Pending Redemption Period applicable to such Optional Redemption may, at the Holders election, specify that the conversion of this Note contemplated thereby shall be conditional upon the consummation of such specified transaction, in which case, such conversion shall be effective upon the consummation of such transaction and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Conversion Date with respect thereto shall be the date such transaction is consummated. If the Principal Redemption Amount specified in an Optional Redemption Notice is less than the entire Principal amount, the Principal amount specified in each Conversion Notice delivered by the Holder during the Pending Redemption Period in respect of such Optional Redemption Notice (a Redemption Period Conversion Amount) shall be applied (i) first, to reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the Principal amount of this Note in excess of the Principal Redemption Amount until such excess Principal amount is reduced to zero dollars ($0) and (ii) thereafter, to reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the Principal Redemption Amount until all of such Principal Redemption Amount shall have been converted.
19
Execution Version
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the prior written consent of the Required Note Holders, the Company shall not deliver an Optional Redemption Notice, and the Company shall not affect any Optional Redemption, (i) during the occurrence of a Delisting Event, (ii) unless all Conversion Shares, including Additional Conversion Shares, and all Warrant Shares will constitute Freely Tradeable Shares, as applicable, upon the issuance thereof and the representations and warranties set forth in the Warrant shall be true and correct in all respects, (iii) unless the Stockholder Approval shall have been obtained, the Charter Effective Time and any Reverse Split Effective Time shall have occurred and there shall be sufficient authorized, unissued and unreserved (other than for issuance pursuant to the Convertible Notes and the Warrants) Shares to provide for the issuance of the maximum total number of Shares (including Additional Shares) that are then issuable or may thereafter become issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and the exercise in full of the Warrants (in each case, without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Cap, the Cap Allocation Amount, the existence of the Authorized Share Conversion Restriction Period and any other limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized, reserved and available to effect any such conversion and issuance), (iv) if the Transfer Agent for the Common Stock is not participating in DTCs Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, (v) if a Conversion Failure shall have occurred and be continuing, or (vi) if the Optional Redemption is conditional upon the consummation of a transaction, unless the Company has entered into a binding agreement with respect to such transaction or, in the case of a financing transaction, has received a binding commitment letter in customary form with respect to such financing transaction (collectively, the Redemption Conditions), except to the extent the Required Note Holders have waived any such Redemption Condition by written notice to the Company. The Company covenants that no information contained in any Optional Redemption Notice will constitute, and the delivery of an Optional Redemption Notice will not constitute, material non-public information. If any of the Redemption Conditions is not satisfied at any time following the delivery of an Optional Redemption Notice and prior to the Optional Redemption Date in respect of Optional Redemption, the Company shall immediately notify the Holder of such failure and (regardless of whether the Company shall have notified the Holder of such failure), by written notice delivered by the Holder to the Company at any time prior to the Optional Redemption Date, the Required Note Holders may elect to terminate the Pending Redemption Period, whereupon the Optional Redemption Notice shall be voided, the Pending Redemption Period shall cease, and the Optional Redemption shall not be effected.
8. Certain Provisions Related to Common Stock Issued Hereunder.
(a) Sufficient Shares of Common Stock. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 5.21 of the Facility Agreement, the Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of the Companys authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Notes held by the Holder from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion (assuming that at the time of computation of such number of shares of Common Stock, all such Notes would be converted by the Holder into Conversion Shares (without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Cap)). If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire Principal convertible under this Note (other than to the extent permitted by Section 5.21 of the Facility Agreement), the Company will use reasonable best efforts to take such corporate action
20
Execution Version
as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders and/or any other relevant corporate body to amend the Companys charter increasing the authorized share capital of the sufficiently high to meet the Companys obligations under this Section 8(a).
(b) Fully-Paid. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes held by the Holder will be fully paid by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
9. Amendment; Waiver. The terms and provisions of this Note shall not be amended or waived except in a writing signed by the Company and the Required Note Holders.
10. Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note, the Facility Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy, and nothing herein shall limit the Holders right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
11. Specific Shall Not Limit General; Construction. No specific provision contained in this Note shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all purchasers of Notes pursuant to the Facility Agreement and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof.
12. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
13. Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 8.1 of the Facility Agreement.
14. Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) Registration or Exemption Required. This Note has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Regulation D under the Securities Act. None of the Note or the Conversion Shares may be pledged, transferred, sold, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws
21
Execution Version
including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 144 (or, in the case of this Note, Rule 144A) under the Securities Act or pursuant to a private sale effected under Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act or applicable formal or informal SEC interpretation or guidance, such as a so-called 4(a)(1) and a half transaction.
(b) Assignment. Subject to Section 13(a), the Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Note, in whole or in part. Holder shall deliver a written notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the Person or Persons to whom the Note shall be assigned and the respective principal amount of the Note to be assigned to each assignee. The Company shall effect the assignment within five (5) Trading Days (the Transfer Delivery Period), and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Note or Notes of like tenor and terms for the appropriate principal amount. This Note and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Note are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Note, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder. For avoidance of doubt, in the event Holder notifies the Company that such sale or transfer is a so called 4(a)(1) and half transaction, the parties hereto agree that a legal opinion from outside counsel for the Holder delivered to counsel for the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C shall be the only requirement to satisfy an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to effectuate such 4(a)(1) and half transaction.
15. Obligations of the Company. For so long as any conversion rights under this Note remain capable of being exercised, the Company will (a) keep available for issue out of its authorized but unissued shares capital free from pre-emptive rights such number of shares of Common Stock as would enable the Conversion Shares to be issued in full, and (b) will not, without the consent of the Holder, make any alteration to its certificate of incorporation which could have a material adverse effect on the rights attaching to the Common Stock or the rights of the Holder; provided that alterations to (i) increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, (ii) provide the terms for and issue shares of preferred stock of the Company or (iii) effect a stock split of the Common Stock shall not be deemed to have a material adverse effect on the rights attaching to the Common Stock or the rights of the Holder.
16. Payment of Collection, Enforcement and Other Costs. If (a) this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding; or (b) an attorney is retained to represent the Holder in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors rights and involving a claim under this Note, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or action, including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements.
17. Cancellation. After all Principal, Interest and other amounts at any time owed under, or on account of, this Note have been paid in full or converted into Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, this Note shall automatically be deemed cancelled, shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation and shall not be reissued.
18. Registered Note. In order to qualify as a registered note for purposes of the Code, transfer of this Note may be effected only by (i) surrender of this Note to the Company and the re-issuance of this Note to the transferee, or the Companys issuance to the Holder of a new note in the same
22
Execution Version
form as this Note but with the transferee denoted as the Holder, or (ii) the recording of the identity of the transferee by the Affiliate of the Holder that is maintaining a record ownership register of this Note as a non-fiduciary agent of, and on behalf of, the Company for the tax purposes set forth herein. Such Affiliate in its capacity as such agent shall notify the Company in writing immediately upon any change in such identity. Any attempted transfer in violation of the relevant provisions of this Note shall be void and of no force and effect. Until there has been a valid transfer of this Note and of all of the rights hereunder by the Holder in accordance with this Note, the Company shall deem and treat the Holder as the absolute beneficial owner and holder of this Note and of all of the rights hereunder for all purposes (including, without limitation, for the purpose of receiving all payments to be made under this Note).
19. Waiver of Notice. To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note and the Facility Agreement.
20. Governing Law. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note and all disputes arising hereunder shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware. The Company (a) agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Note or any other agreement, document, or other instrument executed in connection herewith, shall be brought exclusively in any state or federal court located within Wilmington, Delaware, (b) irrevocably waives any objections which the Company may now or hereafter have to the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note, or any other agreement, document, or other instrument executed in connection herewith, brought in the aforementioned courts, (c) further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (d) hereby consents that personal service of summons or other legal process may be made as set forth in Section 8.3 of the Facility Agreement. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER (BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENT.

Schedule 1
The Additional Share Coefficient shall mean the number of additional shares of Common Stock issuable per $1,000 of principal amount of the Note upon a Major Transaction and shall be the additional share number set forth on the chart with respect to the Share Price Result on the y axis and the corresponding Remaining Note Life on the x axis; provided, however, that to the extent the actual Share Price Result (as defined below) falls between two data points on the y axis and/or the actual date of the Major Transaction falls between two data points on the x axis, the Additional Share Coefficient shall be determined by calculating the arithmetic mean between (i) the result obtained for the Share Price Result based on the linear interpolation between the additional share numbers corresponding to the two Share Price Result data points and (ii) the result obtained for the Remaining Note Life based on the linear interpolation between the two additional share numbers corresponding to the two Remaining Note Life data points; and provided further, however, that in the event of any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 2 of this Note, the numbers of additional shares of Common Stock issuable per $1,000 of principal amount of this Note as set forth in the chart below shall be deemed adjusted pro rata with any adjustment resulting from the adjustment to the Conversion Price that would be made to the number of shares of Common Stock then convertible with respect to $1,000 of principal amount of this Note as calculated under Section 2 of this Note. For purposes of the chart below, the Share Price Result shall be the greater of: (i) the last sales price of shares of Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, or, if that is not the principal trading market for shares of Common Stock, such principal market on which shares of Common Stock are traded or listed (the Closing Market Price) immediately prior to the consummation of the Major Transaction or (ii) in the case of a Major Transaction in which holders of shares of Common Stock receive solely cash consideration in connection with such major Transaction, the cash amount payable per share of Common Stock in such Major Transaction. If the actual Share Price Result is greater than $30.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Price as provided in Section 2 of this Note), or if the actual Shares Price Result is less than $1.50 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Price as provided in Section 2 of this Note), then no additional shares shall be issuable.

Alternatively, subject to Section 2(c)(iii), at the election of the Holder made in the Holders sole discretion, the Company shall (I) pay to the Holder, in lieu of the additional damages referred to in the preceding sentence (but in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement), 105% of the amount by which (A) the Holders total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Shares purchased to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled but has not received upon a conversion exceeds (B) the net proceeds received by the Holder from the sale of the Shares to which the Holder is entitled but has not received upon such conversion, and (II) at the option of the Holder, by notice to the Company made via email prior to receipt by the Holder of the Conversion Shares, either reinstate the portion of this Note and equivalent number of Conversion Shares for which such conversion was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder. If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 2(c)(v)(A) within five (5) Business Days of the date incurred, then the Holder entitled to such payments shall have the right at any time, so long as the Company continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Company, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such cash damages, the number of Shares equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of the damages payments described herein divided by (Y) the Conversion Price in effect on such Conversion Date as specified by the Holder in the Conversion Notice.

Execution Version
(B) Void Conversion Notice. If for any reason the Holder has not received all of the Conversion Shares prior to the fifteenth (15th) Business Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect to a conversion of this Note or, in the case of Excess Conversion Shares, has not received all of the Cash Settlement Amount by the due date therefor (a Conversion Failure), then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company (a Void Conversion Notice), may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to the Holders Conversion Notice or, in the case of Excess Conversion Shares, with respect to which a Cash Settlement Amount has not been paid; provided, that the voiding of the Holders Conversion Notice shall not affect the Companys obligations to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 2(c)(v)(A) or otherwise.
(C) Event of Default. A Conversion Failure shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Facility Agreement and entitle the Lenders to all payments and remedies provided under the Facility Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
(vi) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion or redemption of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless all of the Principal is being converted or redeemed. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal converted or redeemed and the dates of such conversions or redemptions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon any such partial conversion or redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is converted or redeemed as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining Principal represented by this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the Principal of this Note may be less than the principal amount stated on the face hereof.
(d) Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all Other Taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Conversion Shares upon the conversion of this Note. For greater certainty, the provisions of Section 2.4 of the Facility Agreement shall apply with respect to any and all Taxes with respect to payments by the Company (or any other applicable Credit Party) hereunder, including with respect to the delivery of Conversion Shares upon the conversion of this Note.
(e) Legends.
(i) Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands that until such time as this Note or the Conversion Shares have been registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, this Note and the Conversion Shares, as applicable, may bear a restrictive legend

Execution Version
in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order consistent therewith may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PURSUANT TO RULES 144 OR 144A UNDER SAID ACT OR PURSUANT TO A PRIVATE SALE EFFECTED UNDER SECTION 4(A)(7) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE FORMAL OR INFORMAL SEC INTERPRETATION OR GUIDANCE, SUCH AS A SO-CALLED 4(a)(1) AND A HALF SALE.
THE SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN AMENDED AND RESTATED REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF OCTOBER 12, 2022, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF ITS OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.
The Conversion Shares may be issued without registration thereof under the Securities Act in reliance on a valid exemption under the Securities Act.
(ii) Removal of Restrictive Legends. This Note and the certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares (including any Major Transaction Company Shares), as applicable, shall not contain any securities legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legends set forth above in subsection 2(e)(i)): (A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the sale or resale of the Conversion Shares is effective under the Securities Act, or (B) following any sale of such Note and/or Conversion Shares pursuant to such a registration statement or Rule 144, or (C) if such Note or Conversion Shares, as the case may be, are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), or (D) if at any time on or after the date hereof (y) the Holder certifies that it is not an affiliate within the meaning of such term under Rule 144 and that the Holders holding period for purposes of Rule 144 and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, subsection (d)(3)(ii) thereof with respect to such Note and/or Conversion Shares is at least six (6) months, and (z) if such holding period is less than twelve (12) months, the Company has filed all reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q required to be filed by the Company during the preceding twelve (12) months, or (E) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) (collectively, the Unrestricted Conditions). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date (as defined below), or at such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions have been satisfied, if required by the Companys transfer agent to effect the issuance of this Note or the Conversion Shares, as applicable, without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder. If any of the
13
Execution Version
Unrestricted Conditions is met at the time of issuance of any of the Conversion Shares, then such Conversion Shares shall be issued free of all United States legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met or such United States legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(e), it will, no later than two (2) Trading Days Day (or, if fewer, the number of days comprising the Standard Settlement Period) following the delivery (the Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline) by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of this Note and a certificate representing Conversion Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive United States legend (such third Trading Day, the Legend Removal Date), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder this Note and/or a certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive and other United States legends. For purposes hereof, Effective Date shall mean the date that the Registration Statement that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and covering the Conversion Shares has been declared effective by the SEC.
(iii) Sale of Unlegended Shares. Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive securities legend from this Note and any certificates representing securities as set forth in Section 2(e)(i) above is predicated upon the Companys reliance that the Holder will sell this Note or any Conversion Shares, as applicable, pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
(f) Dividend, Subdivision, Combination or Reclassification. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, (A) declare a dividend on the Common Stock, or capitalization of profits or reserves, payable in shares of its Capital Stock (including Common Stock), other than a dividend for which the Holder would be entitled to participate pursuant to Section 6, (B) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, (C) consolidate or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of its Common Stock or (D) issue any shares of its Capital Stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), or (E) repay or reduce its capital or otherwise adjust the nominal value of its Shares, then in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Note upon conversion after such date shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of its Capital Stock which, if this Note had been converted immediately prior to such date, such holder would have owned upon such conversion and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification. Any such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date of such dividend or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur. If a dividend on the Common Stock, or capitalization of profits or reserves, payable in shares of its Capital Stock (including Common Stock) is declared and such dividend is not paid, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price, in effect immediately prior to such record date (giving effect to all adjustments that otherwise would be required to be made pursuant to this Section 2 from and after such record date).

Execution Version
(g) Authorized Share Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during the Authorized Share Conversion Restriction Period, the Company shall not issue, upon conversion of this Note (in whole or in part), Shares in an amount greater than the difference of (i) the Authorized Share Cap Amount, as then in effect, minus (ii) the aggregate number of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares (as defined in the Warrants) (in each case, subject to appropriate adjustment for any Stock Event that occurs after the issuance of any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable) issued prior to such time upon conversion of Notes and exercise of Warrants by the Holder (subject to adjustment as provided herein, the Cap Allocation Amount). In the event that the Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer this Note (in whole or in part), the Cap Allocation Amount applicable hereto immediately prior to such transfer shall be allocated to the Note acquired by the transferee as shall be determined by the Holder and such transferee.
(h) Cash Settlement. Upon the conversion of this Note (in whole or in part) by the Holder during the Cash Settlement Period, the Company shall not issue any Excess Conversion Shares, and, in lieu of delivering Excess Conversion Shares, shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash (the Cash Settlement Amount) equal to the product of (A) the number of Excess Conversion Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of any Major Transaction Conversion in respect of a Company Share Major Transaction, the Base Conversion Shares and the Additional Conversion Shares), multiplied by (B) the Closing Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall not be required to specify (in a Conversion Notice or otherwise) whether a conversion would result in Excess Conversion Shares or require payment of a Cash Settlement Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Holder delivers a Conversion Notice at any time during the Authorized Share Conversion Restriction Period, any Principal elected to be converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice (but solely to the extent in respect of any applicable Excess Conversion Shares) shall be deemed to be outstanding, and shall continue to bear interest, until the date the Cash Settlement Amount in respect of such Principal shall have been paid to the Holder (except, for the avoidance of doubt, that if the Holder delivers a Void Conversion Notice with respect thereto, such Principal shall thereafter remain outstanding and bear interest until it is otherwise satisfied or converted in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Facility Agreement). The Cash Settlement Amount shall be paid, in cash, to the Holder within three (3) Business Days following the Conversion Date in accordance with instructions provided by Holder for payments under the Facility Agreement. In the event that (i) the Company consummates a Major Transaction, the Company shall pay, or cause the relevant Successor Entity to pay, to each Holder, concurrently with the consummation of such Major Transaction, all Cash Settlement Amounts payable to the Holder that remain unpaid as of the date such Major Transaction is consummated or (ii) the Obligations become due and payable pursuant to the Facility Agreement, all Cash Settlement Amounts that remain unpaid and are not yet due and payable shall simultaneously become due and payable to the each Holder to which such Cash Settlement Amounts are then payable.
3. Rights Upon Major Transaction. In the event that a Major Transaction occurs, then the Holder, at its option, may (i) require the Company to repay in cash all or a portion of the principal amount outstanding on the Holders Notes plus all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon and any other amounts payable under the Facility Agreement (including the Exit Fee and the Make Whole Amount), in accordance with Section 5.19 of the Facility Agreement or (ii) convert all or a portion of the principal amount outstanding in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 (a Major
15
Execution Version
Transaction Conversion) and cause the Company to pay to the Holder all accrued and unpaid Interest under this Note. The Holder shall have the right to waive its rights under this Section 3 with respect to such Major Transaction.
(a) Major Transaction Conversion. In the event that a Major Transaction occurs, then (1) in the case of a transaction covered by the provisions of clause (A) of the definition of Major Transaction in which the Common Stock of the Company is converted into the right to receive cash, securities of another entity and/or other assets (a Successor Major Transaction), the Holder, at its option, may convert, in whole or in part, the outstanding principal amount under this Note into the right to receive upon consummation of the Major Transaction, the amount of cash and other assets and the number of securities or other property of the Successor Entity or other entity that the Holder would have received had such Holder converted the Major Transaction Conversion Amount (as defined below) into Base Conversion Shares and Additional Conversion Shares (as defined below and without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Cap, the Cap Allocation Amount, the existence of the Authorized Share Conversion Restriction Period and any other limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized, reserved and available to effect any such conversion and issuance) immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction (the Successor Consideration) and (2) in the case of any other Major Transactions not covered under clause (1) above (a Company Share Major Transaction), the Holder shall have the right to convert, in whole or in part, and from time to time, the outstanding principal amount under this Note into Base Conversion Shares and Additional Conversion Shares (or to the extent such Base Conversion Shares and/or Additional Conversion Shares constitute Excess Conversion Shares, the Cash Settlement Amount with respect thereto), without regard to the Cap Allocation Amount (Major Transaction Company Shares).
(b) Base Conversion Shares and Additional Conversion Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any conversion or deemed conversion effected in connection with a Major Transaction pursuant to this Section 3, the aggregate total number of Major Transaction Company Shares (or applicable Cash Settlement Amounts) into which all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note may be converted or, the aggregate number of conversion shares to be used for calculating the Successor Consideration, as applicable, shall be calculated to be the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of this Note then being converted would otherwise be converted, (including (for the avoidance of doubt) any Shares issuable in respect of the Premium Amount applicable to such Principal), as calculated under Section 2 hereof (such number of shares, the Base Conversion Shares), plus (b) the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the Additional Share Coefficient (as such term is defined and determined for each $1,000 of principal amount of this Note on Schedule I attached hereto and made a part hereof) for such Major Transaction and (y) a fraction the numerator of which is the amount of the principal amount of this Note then being converted and the denominator of which is $1,000 (such number of shares of Common Stock calculated in accordance with this clause (b), the Additional Conversion Shares).
(c) Notice; Major Transaction Conversion Election. At least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any Major Transaction but, in any event, within one (1) Business Day following the first to occur of (x) the date of the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such
16
Execution Version
announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or (y) the day following the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made on and after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via (i) facsimile or electronic mail and (ii) overnight courier to the Holder (a Major Transaction Notice); provided, however, that, with respect to any Major Transaction that is not a Successor Major Transaction, the applicable deadline by which the Company must deliver the Major Transaction Notice shall be within one (1) Business Day following (x) the date of the first public announcement by any Person of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or (y) the day following the first public announcement by any Person of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made on or after 4:00 p.m., New York City time; and provided, further, that the Company shall make a public announcement of any Major Transaction not later than one (1) Trading Day after the Company first has knowledge of the occurrence thereof. Any Major Transaction Change Notice or other notice delivered or re-sent (or required to be delivered or re-sent) by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Section 3 shall be delivered (or re-sent, as applicable) to the Holder and its counsel by email and overnight courier. Each Major Transaction Notice shall prominently indicate that it is a Major Transaction Notice and the subject of any email that contains or attaches a Major Transaction Notice shall be Sientra Major Transaction Notice. Each Major Transaction Notice shall set forth the date on which the applicable Major Transaction has been or will be consummated (or, if such date is not known, the Companys good faith estimate of the date of such consummation). If a Major Transaction shall not have been consummated within thirty (30) days following the date the Major Transaction Notice with respect thereto shall have first been delivered to the Holder, then promptly following such thirtieth (30th) day, such Major Transaction Notice shall be re-sent in accordance with this Section 3(c) (excepting the time period requirement for delivery set forth above and provided, that such notice shall be updated, if applicable, to reflect the Companys good faith estimate of the date on which the Major Transaction will be consummated as of the date such notice is re-sent). Without limiting the rights and remedies of the Holder hereunder or under the Facility Documents or otherwise at law or in equity, the failure to timely deliver or re-send any Major Transaction Notice or other notice pursuant to this Section 3 or to include any required information in such notice shall toll any time period hereunder for any response responding to, or taking any action following, such notice by the Holder. At any time during the Major Transaction Conversion Period, the Holder may elect to effect a Major Transaction Conversion by delivering written notice thereof (Major Transaction Conversion Notice) to the Company, which Major Transaction Conversion Notice shall indicate the portion of the Note (the Major Transaction Conversion Amount), calculated with reference to the principal amount outstanding that the Holder is electing to treat as a Major Transaction Conversion. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be permitted to make successive conversions and send successive Major Transaction Conversion Notices in respect of a Company Share Major Transaction from time to time at any time during the Major Transaction Conversion Period.
(d) Settlement of Major Transaction Conversion. Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Conversion Notice from the Holder, the Company shall not effect a Successor Major Transaction that is being treated as a Major Transaction Conversion unless at the time of the execution of the definitive documentation relating to such Major Transaction it obtains the written agreement of the Successor Entity that payment or issuance of the Successor Consideration plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of payment, shall be made to the Holder prior to consummation
17
Execution Version
of such Major Transaction and such payment or issuance, as the case may be, shall be a condition precedent to consummation of such Major Transaction. Concurrently upon closing of such Successor Major Transaction, the Company shall pay or issue, as the case may be, or shall instruct any escrow agent for the transaction to pay or issue, and will cause the Successor Entity to issue and/or pay, the applicable Successor Consideration, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of payment. Any Major Transaction Company Shares issuable in respect of a Company Share Major Transaction shall be issued to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days following the date of each Major Transaction Conversion Notice.
(e) Damages. Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Conversion Notice from the Holder, in the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Successor Major Transaction without obtaining the written agreement of the Successor Entity described in subsection (d) above, the Holder shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting within Wilmington, Delaware to prevent the closing of such Major Transaction until the Successor Consideration is satisfied to the Holder in full.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and without derogating any obligations or rights herein, until the Holder receives its appropriate payment or securities, plus any accrued and unpaid interest under this Note, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3, this Note may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Shares, or in the event that such payments and/or shares have not been delivered prior to the consummation of the Successor Major Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving parent entity, Common Stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity at an appropriate conversion price based upon the prevailing Conversion Rate (as adjusted hereunder) at the time of such Major Transaction and price per share or conversion ratio received by holders of Common Stock in the Major Transaction.
4. Registration Failures. Upon any Registration Failure, in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and this Note, the Company shall pay additional damages to the Holder for each 30-day period (prorated for any partial period) after the date of such Registration Failure in an amount in cash equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of such Holders original principal amount of this Note on the date of such Registration Failure. Such payments shall accrue until the earlier of (i) such time as the Registration Failure has been cured and (ii) the date on which all of the Conversion Shares may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions and without the need for the availability of current public information under Rule 144). All such payments that accrue under this Section 4 shall be payable no later than five (5) business days following such date of accrual.
5. Voting Rights. Except as required by law, the Holder shall have no voting rights with respect to any of the Conversion Shares until delivery of the Conversion Notice relating to the conversion of this Note upon which such Conversion Shares are issuable.
6. Participation. The Holder, as the holder of this Note, shall be entitled to receive such dividends paid and distributions of any kind made to the holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if the Holder had converted this Note into shares of Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized and reserved to effect any such exercise and issuance) and had held such shares of
18
Execution Version
Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Stock. To the extent the payment of any dividend or making of any distribution pursuant to this Section 6 would result in a Holder receiving Shares or other voting equity securities in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Cap or Cap Allocation Amount, such Holder shall not receive such excess Shares and, in lieu thereof, the Company shall pay to such Holder in cash an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of such excess Shares multiplied by (ii) the difference produced by subtracting the Conversion Price from the Closing Market Price immediately prior to the making of such dividend or distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of its capital stock (the Purchase Rights), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights that the Holder could have acquired if it had held the number of Shares acquirable upon conversion in full of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized and reserved to effect any such conversion and issuance) held by the Holder immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
7. Optional Redemption.
(a) Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Section 7, the Company shall have the right to redeem (an Optional Redemption) the Principal amount of this Note for the Optional Redemption Price. The Company shall not effect any Optional Redemption under this Note unless, contemporaneously with such Optional Redemption, the Company effects an Optional Redemption under all of the other Disbursement Loan Convertible Notes in accordance with the terms thereof, on a pro rata basis, based upon the respective applicable original principal amount of each of the Notes outstanding as of the date the Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the holders of the Notes.
(b) To effect an Optional Redemption, the Company shall send a written notice via electronic mail to the Holder (an Optional Redemption Notice) at any time between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Trading Day and shall also deliver the Optional Redemption Notice to the Holder by overnight courier for delivery on the next Business Day. Each Optional Redemption Notice shall certify that the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 7 have been satisfied and shall indicate: (i) that the Company has elected to effect an Optional Redemption, (ii) the Principal amount hereunder that the Company is electing to redeem (the Principal Redemption Amount), (iii) the Optional Redemption Date, (iv) the aggregate principal amount of all Notes outstanding as of the date of the Optional Redemption Notice, (v) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed on the Optional Redemption Date, (v) whether the Optional Redemption constitutes a Forced Conversion Optional Redemption pursuant to Section 7(e), (vi) if applicable, the number of shares underlying the Warrant(s) issuable to the Holder in respect of the Principal Redemption Amount (the Warrant Share Number) and the other terms of such Warrants in accordance with Section 2.9 of the Facility Agreement and (vii) if the applicable Optional Redemption is conditional upon the consummation of a transaction as
19
Execution Version
permitted by Section 7(c), a statement to such effect and a summary description of the transaction on which the applicable Optional Redemption is conditioned. Simultaneously with the delivery of an Optional Redemption Notice to the Holder hereunder, the Company shall send an Optional Redemption Notice to the holders of each of the other Disbursement Loan Convertible Notes in respect of the applicable principal amount of such Notes.
(c) If the Company elects to exercise its Optional Redemption right, it shall fix (and specify in the applicable Optional Redemption Notice) a date for redemption (an Optional Redemption Date), which shall be at least two (2) Trading Days prior to the Maturity Date and at least thirty (30) days but no more than sixty (60) days following the date the applicable Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the holders of Notes. The Optional Redemption Notice (and each optional redemption notice delivered to holders of the other Disbursement Loan Convertible Notes) shall be irrevocable (subject to the termination right of the Holder pursuant to Section 7(d)) and, upon delivery of an Optional Redemption Notice, the Optional Redemption Price, less the sum of all Redemption Period Conversion Amounts (as defined below) applied against the Principal Redemption Amount in accordance herewith, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of payment thereof (and any other amounts payable thereon under the Facility Agreement, including the Exit Fee and as applicable the Make Whole Amount) shall become due and payable, and a Warrant in respect of the Warrant Share Number applicable to the Principal Redemption Amount shall become issuable in accordance with Section 2.9 of the Facility Agreement, on the Optional Redemption Date; provided that an Optional Redemption may be conditional upon the consummation of a specified transaction, if so indicated in the applicable Optional Redemption Notice, on the proposed Optional Redemption Date. In the event that the Optional Redemption is conditional upon consummation of a transaction, the Company shall notify the Holder, and publicly disclose, by no later than 8:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Optional Redemption Date whether the applicable transaction has been consummated and, accordingly, the applicable condition has been satisfied. For the avoidance of doubt, the condition shall only be deemed satisfied if so publicly disclosed as such, and upon public disclosure that the transaction has not been consummated and the condition has not been satisfied, any conversion that is conditional upon such condition being satisfied shall be null and void and of no force or effect. The failure to pay in full the amount payable to the Holder on the Optional Redemption Date and, as applicable, to issue a Warrant to the Holder in accordance with Section 2.9 of the Facility Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under the Facility Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder may convert all or any portion of this Note into Shares in accordance with Section 2 at any time and from time to time during each Pending Redemption Period. In the event that an Optional Redemption is conditional upon the consummation of a specified transaction, each Conversion Notice delivered during the Pending Redemption Period applicable to such Optional Redemption may, at the Holders election, specify that the conversion of this Note contemplated thereby shall be conditional upon the consummation of such specified transaction, in which case, such conversion shall be effective upon the consummation of such transaction and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Conversion Date with respect thereto shall be the date such transaction is consummated. If the Principal Redemption Amount specified in an Optional Redemption Notice is less than the entire Principal amount, the Principal amount specified in each Conversion Notice delivered by the Holder during the Pending Redemption Period in respect of such Optional Redemption Notice (a Redemption Period Conversion Amount) shall be applied (i) first, to reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the
20
Execution Version
Principal amount of this Note in excess of the Principal Redemption Amount until such excess Principal amount is reduced to zero dollars ($0) and (ii) thereafter, to reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the Principal Redemption Amount until all of such Principal Redemption Amount shall have been converted.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the prior written consent of the Required Note Holders, the Company shall not deliver an Optional Redemption Notice, and the Company shall not affect any Optional Redemption, (i) during the occurrence of a Delisting Event, (ii) unless all Conversion Shares, including Additional Conversion Shares, and as applicable all Warrant Shares (as defined in the Warrants) will constitute Freely Tradeable Shares, as applicable, upon the issuance thereof and the representations and warranties set forth in the Warrant shall be true and correct in all respects, (iii) unless the Stockholder Approval shall have been obtained, the Charter Effective Time and any Reverse Split Effective Time shall have occurred and there shall be sufficient authorized, unissued and unreserved (other than for issuance pursuant to the Convertible Notes and the Warrants) Shares to provide for the issuance of the maximum total number of Shares (including Additional Shares) that are then issuable or may thereafter become issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and the exercise in full of the Warrants (in each case, without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Cap, the Cap Allocation Amount, the existence of the Authorized Share Conversion Restriction Period and any other limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized, reserved and available to effect any such conversion and issuance), (iv) if the Transfer Agent for the Common Stock is not participating in DTCs Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, (v) if a Conversion Failure shall have occurred and be continuing, or (vi) if the Optional Redemption is conditional upon the consummation of a transaction, unless (y) the Company has entered into a binding agreement with respect to such transaction or, in the case of a financing transaction, has received a binding commitment letter in customary form with respect to such financing transaction and (z) such Optional Redemption is not a Forced Conversion Optional Redemption (collectively, the Optional Redemption Conditions). The Company covenants that no information contained in any Optional Redemption Notice will constitute, and the delivery of an Optional Redemption Notice will not constitute, material non-public information. If any of the Optional Redemption Conditions (or, if applicable, any of the Additional Forced Conversion Redemption Conditions) is not satisfied at any time following the delivery of an Optional Redemption Notice and prior to the Optional Redemption Date in respect of the Optional Redemption, the Company shall immediately notify the Holder of such failure and (regardless of whether the Company shall have notified the Holder of such failure), by written notice delivered by the Holder to the Company at any time prior to the Optional Redemption Date, the Required Note Holders may elect to terminate the Pending Redemption Period, whereupon the Optional Redemption Notice shall be voided, the Pending Redemption Period shall cease, and the Optional Redemption shall not be effected.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained herein, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7(e), in the event that each of the following is greater than 130% of the Conversion Price (the Optional Redemption Pricing Condition): (1) the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on each of any twenty (20) Trading Days during the period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date on which an Optional Redemption Notice is delivered in accordance with Section 7(b) (the Forced Conversion
21
Execution Version
Redemption Pricing Period), (2) the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day of such period and (3) the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day of such period, then the Company may deem an Optional Redemption to be a Forced Conversion Optional Redemption by so specifying in the Optional Redemption Notice; provided, however, that, unless waived by the Required Note Holders, the Company may not deem an Optional Redemption to be a Forced Conversion Optional Redemption unless (i) the Company takes the same action in respect of Optional Redemptions of all other Disbursement Loan Convertible Notes and the aggregate Principal under this Note and principal of the other Disbursement Loan Convertible Notes subject to redemption in such Option Redemptions is not in excess of $5,000,000, (ii) the Company has not effected any other Optional Redemption or delivered any Optional Redemption Notice during the Forced Conversion Pricing Period, (iii) the Company contemporaneously complies with all of its obligations under this Section 7 and satisfies all of the conditions (including the Optional Redemption Conditions) in respect of such Forced Conversion Optional Redemption, and (iv) each of the following additional conditions is satisfied: (V) the Company shall not have delivered an Optional Redemption Notice with respect to which the Pending Redemption Period has not expired, (W) at least thirty (30) days shall have elapsed since the expiration of the then most recent Pending Redemption Period, (X) the Company shall not have delivered (or have been obligated to deliver) a Major Transaction Notice in respect of a Major Transaction that has not yet been consummated or abandoned (and publicly disclosed as consummated or abandoned), (Y) there shall not have occurred and be continuing, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default or a Default, and (Z) there is not then any material information regarding the Company that has not been publicly disclosed in a report filed pursuant to the Exchange Act or otherwise publicly disclosed in a manner calculated to reach the securities marketplace through one of the Companys recognized channels of distribution (collectively, the Additional Forced Conversion Redemption Conditions). In the case of a Forced Conversion Optional Redemption and notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in Section 7(c), (I) the Principal amount specified in each Conversion Notice delivered by the Holder during the Pending Redemption Period in respect of such Optional Redemption Notice shall be applied (A) first to reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the Principal Redemption Amount until all of such Principal Redemption Amount shall have been converted, and (B) thereafter, to reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the Principal amount of this Note in excess of the Principal Redemption Amount, (II) upon any conversion of this Note during the Pending Redemption Period, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares equal to the Base Conversion Shares, plus the Additional Conversion Shares; provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue Additional Conversion Shares pursuant to this Section 7(e) in respect of any Conversion Amount specified in a Conversion Notice delivered during the Pending Redemption Period that exceeds the result of the Principal Redemption Amount, minus the aggregate Principal of this Note previously converted during the Pending Redemption Period for Base Conversion Shares and Additional Conversion Shares; and (III) the Holder shall not be entitled to receive any Warrants or Make-Whole Interest upon such Forced Conversion Optional Redemption.
8. Certain Provisions Related to Common Stock Issued Hereunder.
(a) Sufficient Shares of Common Stock. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 5.21 of the Facility Agreement, the Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of the Companys authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common
22
Execution Version
Stock to provide for conversion of the Notes held by the Holder from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion (assuming that at the time of computation of such number of shares of Common Stock, all such Notes would be converted by the Holder into Conversion Shares (without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Cap)). If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire Principal convertible under this Note (other than to the extent permitted by Section 5.21 of the Facility Agreement), the Company will use reasonable best efforts to take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders and/or any other relevant corporate body to amend the Companys charter increasing the authorized share capital of the sufficiently high to meet the Companys obligations under this Section 8(a).
(b) Fully-Paid. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes held by the Holder will be fully paid by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
9. Amendment; Waiver. The terms and provisions of this Note shall not be amended or waived except in a writing signed by the Company and the Required Note Holders.
10. Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note, the Facility Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy, and nothing herein shall limit the Holders right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
11. Specific Shall Not Limit General; Construction. No specific provision contained in this Note shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all purchasers of Notes pursuant to the Facility Agreement and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof.
12. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
13. Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 8.1 of the Facility Agreement.

14. Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) Registration or Exemption Required. This Note has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Regulation D under the Securities Act. None of the Note or the Conversion Shares may be pledged, transferred, sold, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 144 (or, in the case of this Note, Rule 144A) under the Securities Act or pursuant to a private sale effected under Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act or applicable formal or informal SEC interpretation or guidance, such as a so-called 4(a)(1) and a half transaction.
(b) Assignment. Subject to Section 13(a), the Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Note, in whole or in part. Holder shall deliver a written notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the Person or Persons to whom the Note shall be assigned and the respective principal amount of the Note to be assigned to each assignee. The Company shall effect the assignment within five (5) Trading Days (the Transfer Delivery Period), and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Note or Notes of like tenor and terms for the appropriate principal amount. This Note and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Note are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Note, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder. For avoidance of doubt, in the event Holder notifies the Company that such sale or transfer is a so called 4(a)(1) and half transaction, the parties hereto agree that a legal opinion from outside counsel for the Holder delivered to counsel for the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C shall be the only requirement to satisfy an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to effectuate such 4(a)(1) and half transaction.
15. Obligations of the Company. For so long as any conversion rights under this Note remain capable of being exercised, the Company will (a) keep available for issue out of its authorized but unissued shares capital free from pre-emptive rights such number of shares of Common Stock as would enable the Conversion Shares to be issued in full, and (b) will not, without the consent of the Holder, make any alteration to its certificate of incorporation which could have a material adverse effect on the rights attaching to the Common Stock or the rights of the Holder, provided that alterations to (i) increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, (ii) provide the terms for and issue shares of preferred stock of the Company or (iii) effect a stock split of the Common Stock shall not be deemed to have a material adverse effect on the rights attaching to the Common Stock or the rights of the Holder.
16. Payment of Collection, Enforcement and Other Costs. If (a) this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding; or (b) an attorney is retained to represent the Holder in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors rights and involving a claim under this Note, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or action, including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements.

Schedule 1
The Additional Share Coefficient shall mean the number of additional shares of Common Stock issuable per $1,000 of principal amount of the Note upon a Major Transaction and shall be the additional share number set forth on the chart with respect to the Share Price Result on the y axis and the corresponding Remaining Note Life on the x axis; provided, however, that to the extent the actual Share Price Result (as defined below) falls between two data points on the y axis and/or the actual date of the Major Transaction falls between two data points on the x axis, the Additional Share Coefficient shall be determined by calculating the arithmetic mean between (i) the result obtained for the Share Price Result based on the linear interpolation between the additional share numbers corresponding to the two Share Price Result data points and (ii) the result obtained for the Remaining Note Life based on the linear interpolation between the two additional share numbers corresponding to the two Remaining Note Life data points; and provided further, however, that in the event of any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 2 of this Note, the numbers of additional shares of Common Stock issuable per $1,000 of principal amount of this Note as set forth in the chart below shall be deemed adjusted pro rata with any adjustment resulting from the adjustment to the Conversion Price that would be made to the number of shares of Common Stock then convertible with respect to $1,000 of principal amount of this Note as calculated under Section 2 of this Note. For purposes of the chart below, the Share Price Result shall be the greater of: (i) the last sales price of shares of Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, or, if that is not the principal trading market for shares of Common Stock, such principal market on which shares of Common Stock are traded or listed (the Closing Market Price) immediately prior to the consummation of the Major Transaction or (ii) in the case of a Major Transaction in which holders of shares of Common Stock receive solely cash consideration in connection with such major Transaction, the cash amount payable per share of Common Stock in such Major Transaction. If the actual Share Price Result is greater than $10 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Price as provided in Section 2 of this Note), or if the actual Shares Price Result is less than $0.75 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Price as provided in Section 2 of this Note), then no additional shares shall be issuable.

This Warrant is issued pursuant to that certain Facility Agreement, dated as of October 12, 2022, by and among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Deerfield Partners, L.P., as agent for itself and the other lenders (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the Facility Agreement). The Common Shares (as defined below) issuable hereunder (the Warrant Shares) are entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below). Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 8 hereof or, if not specified in Section 8 hereof, the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Facility Agreement.

= the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation). |
For purposes of this Section 2(c), the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date of determination shall mean:
(i) if the Market Price can be calculated in accordance with the definitions of Market Price and Volume Weighted Average Price, the Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the Exercise Date; and
(ii) if the Common Stock cannot be calculated in accordance with the definitions of Market Price and Volume Weighted Average Price, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock shall be such fair market value as determined in good faith by the Company in reliance on an opinion of a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained by the Company for this purpose; provided that the Holder shall have a right to receive from the Company the calculations performed to arrive at such fair market value and a copy of the opinion of such investment banking firm and any report prepared by such investment banking firm and delivered to the Company in connection therewith.
The date of determination for purposes of this Section 2(c) shall be the date the Exercise Form is delivered by the Holder to the Company.
(d) Note Exchange Exercise. In lieu of paying all or any portion of the Exercise Price in respect of any Warrant Share(s) in cash, Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant (in whole or in part) through a reduction of an amount of principal outstanding under any Convertible Notes then held by Holder, in accordance with Section 2.2 of the Facility Agreement, (a Note Exchange Exercise).
(e) Issuance of Warrant Shares and New Warrant. Subject to Section 2(o), in the event of any exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be delivered by the Company, (i) in the case of an exercise at a time when any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met as of the Exercise Date in respect of such Warrant Shares, by causing the Companys designated transfer agent (Transfer Agent) to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holders prime broker with The Depository Trust Company (DTC), through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, as specified in the relevant Exercise Form, no later than the later of (x) two (2) Trading Days (or, if less, the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period) after the relevant Exercise Date and, (y) in the case of a Cash Exercise, one (1) Trading Day after the date the applicable aggregate Exercise Price is received by the Company, or (ii) in the case of an exercise at a time when the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise are required to bear a restrictive legend pursuant to Section 2(f)(ii) because none of the Unrestricted Conditions is met in respect thereof, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Form, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise, within five (5) Trading Days after the
3
relevant Exercise Date. Upon the exercise of this Warrant or any part hereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel, if applicable, as shall be necessary to enable the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder in accordance with this Section 2(d) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the Transfer Agent in respect of the Warrant Shares and that the Warrant Shares will not contain any legend or be subject to any stop transfer or similar instruction if any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met in respect thereof. Upon the delivery of an Exercise Form in accordance with Section 2(a), the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holders or its designees DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that during the Authorized Share Restriction Period, upon the exercise of this Warrant for Excess Conversion Shares, the Holder shall not be deemed to be a holder of such Excess Conversion Shares. The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and this Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days following the date the final Exercise Form is delivered to the Company. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Form with respect to a partial exercise shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the remaining number of Warrant Shares. The Holder and any assignee of the Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the Warrant Share Number (and, therefore, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder) at any given time may be less than the amount stated herein.
(f) Transferability of Warrant. Subject to Section 2(g)(iii), 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 Form in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Within three (3) Trading Days of such surrender and delivery (the Transfer Delivery Period), 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 thereafter be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new Holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares immediately upon such assignment without having a new Warrant issued. The Holder shall pay any Transfer Taxes (as such term is defined in Section 5(b) below) imposed in connection with such transfer or assignment (if any).
(g) Restrictive Legend.
4
(i) The Holder understands that until such time as this Warrant and the Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, this Warrant and the Warrant Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order consistent therewith may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities) (the Securities Law Legend):
THE OFFER AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, INCLUDING PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO A PRIVATE SALE EFFECTED UNDER SECTION 4(a)(7) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE FORMAL OR INFORMAL SEC INTERPRETATION OR GUIDANCE, SUCH AS A SO-CALLED 4[(a)](1) AND A HALF SALE. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
(ii) This Warrant and Warrant Shares (and any certificates or electronic book entries evidencing the Warrant Shares) shall not contain or be subject to (and Holder shall be entitled to removal of) any legend (or stop transfer or similar instruction) restricting the transfer thereof (including the Securities Law Legend): (A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the sale or resale of such securities is effective under the Securities Act, or (B) if the Holder provides customary certifications to the effect that it has sold, or is selling substantially contemporaneously with the delivery of such certifications, such securities pursuant to such a registration statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (C) if such securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1) under the Securities Act as set forth in customary, non-affiliate certifications provided by the Holder, or (D) if at any time on or after the date hereof that the Holder certifies that it is not a Rule 144 Affiliate and that the Holders holding period for purposes of Rule 144 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, subsection (d)(3)(ii) thereof) of at least six (6) months, or
5
(E) if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) as determined in good faith by counsel to the Company or as set forth in a legal opinion delivered by Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP or other nationally recognized counsel to the Holder (collectively, the Unrestricted Conditions). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent, promptly after the Registration Effective Date, or at such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions has been satisfied, if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the issuance of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, as applicable, without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder. If any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met at the time of issuance of the Warrant Shares then such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends and stop-transfer instructions. The Company agrees that following the Registration Effective Date or at such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(g), it will, no later than the earlier of (x) two (2) Trading Days and (y) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of the Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder or its designee the Warrant Shares free from all restrictive and other legends (or similar notations) by crediting the account of the Holders prime broker with DTC, through its DWAC system. For purposes hereof, Registration Effective Date shall mean the date that the first Registration Statement covering the Warrant Shares that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement has been declared effective by the SEC. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, if the Holder delivers a certification that it is not an affiliate of the Company (as such term is used under Rule 144 under the Securities Act) and has not been an Affiliate for a period of three months, then from and after the delivery thereof, the Holder shall be deemed to have certified that it is not an affiliate of the Company (as such term is used under Rule 144 under the Securities Act) upon each delivery of an Exercise Form, unless the Holder otherwise advises the Company in writing. For purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and subsection (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that (X) this Warrant shall be deemed to have been acquired, and the holding period thereof shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date of issuance of the Convertible Note in respect of which this Warrant was issued, and (Y) the Warrant Shares issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant pursuant to a Cashless Exercise or a Note Exchange Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired, and the holding period thereof shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date of issuance of the Convertible Note in respect of which this Warrant was issued. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges and agrees that the removal of any restrictive legends from any securities as set forth in this Section 2(g)(ii) is predicated upon the Companys reliance that the Holder will sell such securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act
6
or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold while such registration statement is effective and available for resales of such securities, in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
(iii) The Holder covenants that it will not sell or otherwise transfer any Warrants or Warrant Shares except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration and prospectus-delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
(h) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. If pursuant to an exercise of this Warrant the Holder would be entitled to a fractional Common Share, then either (i) the number of Common Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be rounded up to the next higher whole number of Common Shares or (ii) the Company will pay, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, a cash amount equal to the product of the related fraction and the Volume Weighted Average Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately before the related Exercise Date.
(i) Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and amount.
(j) No Rights of Stockholders. Except as otherwise provided herein, including in Section 4(b), the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or be otherwise deemed the holder of Common Shares or any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose under this Agreement, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings.
(k) Holders Exercise Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant (or issue any Warrant Shares thereupon), and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant or acquire Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(c) or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise as contemplated by the applicable Exercise Form, the number of Common Shares then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holders for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any group of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by
7
virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein), would exceed 4.985% of the total number of Common Shares issued (excluding treasury shares) (the Beneficial Ownership Limitation); provided, however, that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an equity security pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, group has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the SEC, and the percentage beneficially owned by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as set forth in the Companys most recent annual report filed with the SEC, or any report filed by the Company with the SEC subsequent thereto, in each case, unless the Company has confirmed to the Holder the number of Common Shares outstanding as provided in the next sentence (in which case the Holder may rely upon such confirmation); provided, that the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock for such purposes shall be determined after giving effect to the exercise or conversion of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, any other Warrants and any convertible notes (including the Convertible Notes), by the Holder and its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. Each delivery of an Exercise Form by the Holder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that the issuance of the full number of Common Shares requested in such Exercise Form is permitted under this paragraph.
(l) Cash Damages for Failure to Timely Issue Warrant Shares. If by the first (1st) Trading Day following the expiration of the Delivery Period or, in the case of an exercise of this Warrant for Excess Warrant Shares, the date on which the Cash Settlement Amount is payable (the Cash Damages Trigger Date), the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder for, or, if as required by Section 2(e) hereof the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the Holders or its designees balance account with DTC with, the applicable number of Warrant Shares (in each case, free of any restrictive legend, provided that any Unrestricted Condition is satisfied), then, in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Documents or otherwise at law or in equity, the Company shall pay additional damages to the Holder, in cash, for each thirty (30) day period after such Cash Damages Trigger Date such exercise is not timely effected in an amount equal to (prorated for any partial period) one percent (1.5%) of (y) in the case of a failure to deliver Warrant Shares, the product of (I) the number of Warrant Shares not issued and delivered to the Holder (in each case, free of any restrictive legend, provided, that any Unrestricted Condition is satisfied) or its designee prior to the expiration of the Delivery Period and to which the Holder is entitled and (II) the Volume Weighted Average Price of a share of Common Stock on the last day of the Delivery Period or (z) in the case of a failure to timely pay a Cash Settlement Amount, such Cash Settlement Amount. Alternatively, in lieu of foregoing damages but in addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Holder under this Warrant or any other Facility Document or otherwise at law or in equity, at the written election of the Holder made in the Holders sole discretion, if, on or after the last day of the Delivery Period in respect of such Exercise, the Holder or its brokerage firm
8
purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder was entitled to receive upon such exercise (such purchased shares, Buy-In Shares), the Company shall (1) be obligated to promptly pay to the Holder (in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may otherwise have), 105% of the amount by which (A) the Holders total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for such Buy-In Shares exceeds (B) the net proceeds received by the Holder from the sale of a number of shares equal to up to the number of Warrant Shares such Holder was entitled to receive but had not received on or before the last day of such Delivery Period Date, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of this Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (and refund the Exercise Price therefor, to the extent paid by Holder), or deliver to the Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 2(l) within five (5) Trading Days of the date incurred, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the Company continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Company, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such cash damages, the number of Common Shares equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of the damages payments described herein divided by (Y) the Exercise Price applicable to the exercise of the Warrant to which the additional damages relate. Nothing herein shall limit a Holders right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Companys failure to timely deliver the Common Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(m) Void Exercise Form. If for any reason the Holder has not received all of the Warrant Shares (free of any restrictive legend, provided that any Unrestricted Condition is satisfied) prior to the fifteenth (15th) Business Day after the expiration of the Delivery Period with respect to an exercise of this Warrant in accordance with Section 2(e) or, in the case of Excess Warrant Shares, has not received all of the Cash Settlement Amount by the due date therefor, then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company by facsimile or electronic mail (a Void Exercise Notice), may void its Exercise Form with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant with respect to which Warrant Shares have not been delivered pursuant to the Holders Exercise Form or, in the case of Excess Conversion Shares, with respect to which a Cash Settlement Amount has not been paid; provided, that the voiding of the Holders Exercise Form shall not affect the Companys obligations to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such Void Conversion Notice pursuant to Section 2(l).
(n) Authorized Share Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during the Authorized Share Restriction Period, the Company shall not issue, upon exercise of this Warrant (in whole or in part) Common Shares in an amount greater than the difference of (i) the Authorized Share Cap Amount, as then in effect, minus (ii) the aggregate number of Conversion Shares (as defined in the Convertible Note) and Warrant Shares (in each case, subject to appropriate adjustment for any Stock Event that occurs after the issuance of any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable) issued prior to such time upon exercise of Warrants and conversion of Convertible Notes by Holder (subject to
9
adjustment as provided herein, the Cap Allocation Amount). In the event that Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer this Warrant (in whole or in part), the Cap Allocation Amount applicable hereto immediately prior to such transfer shall be allocated to the Warrant acquired by the transferee as shall be determined by Holder and such transferee.
(o) Cash Settlement. Upon the exercise of this Warrant (in whole or in part) by Holder during the Cash Settlement Period, (i) the Holder shall not be required to deliver the applicable Exercise Price in respect of any Excess Warrant Shares, (ii) the Company shall not issue any Excess Warrant Shares, and (iii) in lieu of delivering Excess Warrant Shares, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash (the Cash Settlement Amount) equal the amount (referred to as X below) determined using the following formula: X = Y(AB), with the terms included in the formula being as defined in Section 2(c) except that A shall mean the Closing Price per Common Share on the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Exercise Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall not be required to specify (in an Exercise Form or otherwise) whether an exercise would result in Excess Warrant Shares or require payment of a Cash Settlement Amount. The Cash Settlement Amount shall be paid, in cash, to the Holder within three (3) Business Days following the Exercise Date in accordance with instructions provided by Holder. In the event that (i) the Company consummates a Major Transaction, the Company shall pay, or cause the relevant Successor Entity to pay, to the Holder, concurrently with the consummation of such Major Transaction, all Cash Settlement Amounts payable to the Holder that remain unpaid as of the date such Major Transaction is consummated or (ii) the Obligations become due and payable pursuant to the Facility Agreement, all Cash Settlement Amounts that remain unpaid shall simultaneously become due and payable to Holder.
3. Certain Representations and Agreements. The Company represents, covenants and agrees:
(a) This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.
(b) All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of, or otherwise pursuant to, 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 from all taxes, liens and charges. As of the Original Issue Date, the Company has reserved from its authorized and unissued Common Shares, exclusively for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, and from and after the Original Issue Date the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares solely for the purpose of effecting exercises of this Warrant, such number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant in full for cash (without giving effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation); and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Common Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant in full, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Common Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of
10
stockholders and/or any other relevant corporate body to amend the Companys charter increasing the authorized share capital of the sufficiently high to meet the Companys obligations under this Section 3(b).
(c) The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all Warrant Shares are issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any securities exchange upon which shares of the Companys capital stock may be listed at the time of such exercise.
(d) The Company will procure, subject to issuance or notice of issuance, the listing of any Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant on the principal stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded.
4. Adjustments and Other Rights. The Exercise Price and Warrant Share Number shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided, that no single event shall cause an adjustment or distribution under more than one subsection of this Section 4 so as to result in duplication.
(a) Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time (i) pay or make a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in Common Shares, (ii) split, subdivide or reclassify the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Share Number at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such split, subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder immediately after such record date or effective date, as the case may be, shall be entitled to purchase the number of Common Shares which such Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the Common Shares subject to this Warrant after such date had such Holder held a number of Common Shares equal to the Warrant Share Number immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be. In the event of such adjustment, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such split, subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be immediately adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the Warrant Share Number before the adjustment determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date, as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, combination or reclassification giving rise to such adjustment by (y) the new Warrant Share Number determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
(b) Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(j)), the Holder, as the holder of this Warrant, shall be entitled to receive, and shall be paid by the Company, any dividend paid or distribution of any kind made to the holders of Common Stock, other than a dividend or distribution resulting in an adjustment pursuant to Section 4(a), to the same extent as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full in a Cash Exercise (without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Cap Allocation Amount, the existence of the Authorized Share Restriction Period or any other limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere and without
11
regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized, reserved and available to effect any such exercise and issuance) and had held such Warrant Shares on the record date for such dividend or distribution (or, if there is no record date therefor, on the date of such dividend or distribution). Payments or distributions under this Section 4(b) shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to holders of the Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of its capital stock (the Purchase Rights), and such grant, issuance or sale does not result in a dividend or distribution resulting in an adjustment pursuant to Section 4(a), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights that the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Cap Allocation Amount, the existence of the Authorized Share Restriction Period or any other limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized, reserved and available to effect any such exercise and issuance) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
(c) Event of Default. Not later than two Business Days following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holder (a Default Notice), which notice shall prominently indicate that it is a Default Notice. In the event of an Event of Default, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holders option, exercisable by written election of the Holder delivered to the Company at any time prior to the thirtieth (30th) day following the occurrence of the Event of Default (or, if later, the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of delivery to the Holder of the Default Notice in respect of such Event of Default), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying or delivering to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant (a Default Redemption). For purposes of clarification, (i) the Holder shall not be required to exercise the Warrant or pay the Exercise Price in order to receive such Black-Scholes Value. The payment of such Black-Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days of the Holders election. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Cap Allocation Amount, the Authorized Share Restriction Period and any other restriction or limitation on exercise of this Warrant (including any such restriction or limitation resulting from an insufficient number of authorized, reserved and available shares to effect the exercise of this Warrant) shall be disregarded for purposes of the determination of the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant.
(d) Major Transaction.
(i) At least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any Major Transaction, but, in any event, within one (1) Trading Day following the first to occur of (x) the date of the public announcement of such Major
12
Transaction if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or (y) the day following the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made at or after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier to Holder (a Major Transaction Notice). The Company shall make a public announcement of any Major Transaction no later than one (1) Trading Day after the Company first has knowledge of the occurrence thereof. Each Major Transaction Notice shall prominently indicate that it is a Major Transaction Notice and the subject of any email that contains or attaches a Major Transaction Notice shall be SIEN Major Transaction Notice. Each Major Transaction Notice shall set forth the date on which the applicable Major Transaction has been or will be consummated (or, if such date is not known, the Companys good faith estimate of the date of such consummation). If a Major Transaction shall not have been consummated within thirty (30) days following the date the Major Transaction Notice with respect thereto shall have first been delivered to the Holder, then promptly following such thirtieth (30th) day, such Major Transaction Notice shall be re-sent in accordance with this Section 4(d)(i) (provided, that such notice shall be updated, if applicable, to reflect the Companys good faith estimate of the date on which the Major Transaction will be consummated as of the date such notice is re-sent). Without limiting the rights and remedies of the Holder hereunder or under the Facility Documents or otherwise at law or in equity, the failure to timely deliver or re-send any Major Transaction Notice or other notice pursuant to this Section 4 or to include any required information in such notice shall toll any time period hereunder for any response responding to, or taking any action following, such notice by the Holder.
(ii) Subject to the right of the Holder to elect a Major Transaction Redemption, in the event of a Major Transaction, then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Major Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant or any other limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized, reserved and available to effect any such exercise and issuance), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the Alternate Consideration) receivable as a result of such Major Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Major Transaction (without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Cap Allocation Amount, the existence of the Authorized Share Restriction Period or any other limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized, reserved and available to effect any such exercise and issuance), assuming this Warrant were exercised for cash. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise
13
Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Major Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Major Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Major Transaction. The Company shall cause any acquiring, surviving or successor entity in a Major Transaction in which the Company does not survive as the parent entity (the Successor Entity) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Major Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant or any other limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized, reserved and available to effect any such exercise and issuance, and assuming this Warrant is exercised for cash) prior to such Major Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Major Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Major Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the term Company under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Major Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the Company shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein.
14
Notwithstanding the foregoing and without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Cap Allocation Amount, the existence of the Authorized Share Restriction Period or any other limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized, reserved and available to effect any such exercise and issuance, in the event of a Major Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity shall, at the Holders option, exercisable by written election of the Holder delivered to the Company at any time prior to the thirtieth (30th) day following the consummation of the Major Transaction (or, if later, the thirtieth (30th) day following the later of the date of the public announcement of the applicable Major Transaction and the date of delivery to the Holder of the last Major Transaction Notice delivered in respect of such Major Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying or delivering to the Holder the Major Transaction Consideration (a Major Transaction Redemption). For purposes of clarification, (i) the Holder shall not be required to exercise the Warrant or pay the Exercise Price in order to receive the Major Transaction Consideration. The payment of any cash component of the Major Transaction Consideration will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days of the Holders election (or, if later, on the effective date of the Major Transaction) and (ii) the delivery of any non-cash component(s) of the Major Transaction Consideration shall be delivered to the Holder on substantially the same basis as a holder of Common Shares would be entitled to received comparable consideration as a result of the Major Transaction. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Cap Allocation Amount, the Authorized Share Restriction Period and any other restriction or limitation on exercise of this Warrant (including any such restriction or limitation resulting from an insufficient number of authorized, reserved and available shares to effect the exercise of this Warrant) shall be disregarded for purposes of the determination of the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant.
(iii) The Company shall cause any Successor Entity in a Major Transaction to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof pursuant to written agreements in form and substance approved by the Required Holders (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), including agreements to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant. Upon the occurrence of any such Major Transaction in which there is a Successor Entity, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Major Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the Company shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein and therein.
15
(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder may deliver an Exercise Form not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the closing of a Major Transaction or Asset Sale that provides for the exercise of this Warrant (in whole or in part), in the case of a Major Transaction in which the Company survives as the parent entity, that is conditioned upon, and shall occur concurrently with, the consummation of such Major Transaction, or in the case of a Major Transaction in which there is a Successor Entity, that is conditioned upon, and shall occur immediately prior to, the consummation of such Major Transaction or in the case of an Asset Sale, the Companys distribution of assets to its shareholders, as applicable (provided, that delivery of such an Exercise Form shall in no event prohibit the Holder from exercising this Warrant in accordance with its terms during such five (5) Business Day period).
(v) In the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Major Transaction without complying with this Section 4(d), the Holder shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal court sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing of such Major Transaction until the Company (and, if applicable, the Successor Entity) shall have complied with provisions of this Section 4(d), without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
(e) [RESERVED].
(f) Other Events.

(g) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100th) of a cent or to the nearest one-tenth (l/10th) of a share, as the case may be.
(h) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 4, the Company shall as promptly as practicable prepare and make available to the Holder a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price and Warrant Share Number that shall be in effect after such adjustment.
16
(i) Adjustment Rules. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 4 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur. If an adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value of the Common Stock, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par value of the Common Stock.
(j) Proceedings Prior to any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, the Company shall take such actions as are necessary, which may include obtaining regulatory, stock exchange or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares (and any other securities, if applicable) that the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 4.
(k) Major Transaction or Event of Default Prior to Issuance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Facility Documents, any event, occurrence, transaction, fact or circumstance that would otherwise constitute a Major Transaction or Event of Default if it had occurred, been announced or been consummated following the date of issuance of this Warrant shall constitute a Major Transaction or Event of Default, as applicable, if such event, occurrence, transaction, fact or circumstance shall have occurred, been announced or been consummated at any time prior to or contemporaneously with the issuance of this Warrant and after the Closing Date.

(b) HSR Submissions. If the Holder determines in good faith that the exercise of this Warrant is subject to notification under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the related rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the HSR Act), each of the Company and the Holder agrees to (i) cooperate with the other party in the other partys preparing and making such submission and any responses to inquiries of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and/or Department of Justice (DOJ); and (ii) prepare and make any submission required to be filed by the Company or the Holder, as applicable, under the HSR Act and respond to inquiries of the FTC and DOJ in connection therewith. The Company shall pay, or reimburse the Holder for, the costs of any required filing fees for any submissions under the HSR Act. Where the Holder notifies the Company that, pursuant to this section, the Holder has determined that an HSR filing is required, the Company shall not issue Warrant Shares until the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act.

If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Exercise Price, Market Price, Volume Weighted Average Price, Major Transaction Consideration, Major Transaction Warrant Share Number or Cash Settlement Amount within one (1) Business Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then the Company shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) submit via email (A) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price, Market Price, Volume Weighted Average Price, Major Transaction Consideration, Major Transaction Warrant Share Number or Cash Settlement Amount, as applicable, to an independent, reputable investment banking firm selected by the Company and subject to the approval of the Required Holders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), or (B) in the case of a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Volume Weighted Average Price or Major Transaction Consideration, to an independent registered public accounting firm selected by the Company and, if not the Companys auditors, subject to the approval of the Required Holders, as the case may be. The Company shall direct the investment bank or the accounting firm, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than two (2) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment banks or accounting firms determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any such final determination in respect of a dispute in connection with a Major Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving parent entity, shall be made prior to the occurrence of such Major Transaction. Neither the Holder nor the Company shall have the right to dispute any determination pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6 unless such party notifies the other party of such dispute in writing no later than two (2) Business Days after the other party notifies the Holder or the Company, as applicable, in writing of such determination.

Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Warrant and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Warrant or any other Facility Documents, and this right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the terms of this Warrant. The parties agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, and agree not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The parties acknowledge and agree that any party shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with its pursuit of an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Warrant and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant, the Facility Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).

PRE-FUNDED WARRANT
TO PURCHASE
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
OF
SIENTRA, INC.
Original Issue Date: October 12, 2022 | No. W-1 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Sientra, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the Company), hereby certifies that Deerfield Partners, L.P. or any transferee, assignee or other subsequent holder hereof (the Holder) is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, at the Exercise Price per share, the Warrant Share Number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common Stock). This Warrant is issued pursuant to that certain Exchange Agreement, dated as of October 12, 2022, between the Company and Deerfield Partners, L.P. in its capacity as Agent for itself as a lender and as lender (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the Exchange Agreement). The Common Shares (as defined below) issuable hereunder (the Warrant Shares) are entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below). Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 8 hereof or, if not specified in Section 8 hereof, the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Exchange Agreement.
1. Term. The right to subscribe for and purchase Warrant Shares represented hereby commences on the Original Issue Date and shall expire at such time as this Warrant shall have been exercised in full (such period being the Term).
2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Exercise of Warrant. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time during the Term by delivering to the Company (by electronic mail or otherwise in accordance with Section 11) written notice of such exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an Exercise Form) and the applicable Exercise Price, which may be satisfied by a Cash Exercise or a Cashless Exercise (as each is defined below), for each Warrant Share as to which this Warrant is being exercised. The Exercise Date in respect of each exercise of this Warrant shall be defined as the date that the Exercise Form in respect of such exercise is delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event that this Warrant has not been exercised in full as of the last Business Day during the Term, the Holder shall be deemed to have exercised the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in full as a Cashless Exercise as of 4:59 p.m. (New York City time) on such last Business Day (and such last Business Day shall be deemed the Exercise Date for purposes of such exercise).
(b) Cash Exercise. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in respect of any Warrant Share(s) in cash (a Cash Exercise). In the case of a Cash Exercise, within two (2)
Trading Days (or, if less, the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period on the Exercise Date) following the Exercise Date as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Exercise Form by wire transfer or cashiers check drawn on a United States bank.
(c) Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of paying the Exercise Price in respect of any Warrant Share(s) in cash, the Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant (in whole or in part) on a cashless basis by making appropriate notation on the applicable Exercise Form, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula (a Cashless Exercise):
Where: | X | = the number of the Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder. | ||
Y | = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Warrant is exercised. | |||
A | = the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date. | |||
B | = the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation). |
For purposes of this Section 2(c), the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date of determination shall mean:
(i) if the Market Price can be calculated in accordance with the definitions of Market Price and Volume Weighted Average Price, the Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the Exercise Date; and
(ii) if the Common Stock cannot be calculated in accordance with the definitions of Market Price and Volume Weighted Average Price, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock shall be such fair market value as determined in good faith by the Company in reliance on an opinion of a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained by the Company for this purpose; provided that the Holder shall have a right to receive from the Company the calculations performed to arrive at such fair market value and a copy of the opinion of such investment banking firm and any report prepared by such investment banking firm and delivered to the Company in connection therewith.
The date of determination for purposes of this Section 2(c) shall be the date the Exercise Form is delivered by the Holder to the Company.
(d) Reserved.
(e) Issuance of Warrant Shares and New Warrant. In the event of any exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be delivered by the Company, (i) in the
2
case of an exercise at a time when any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met as of the Exercise Date in respect of such Warrant Shares, by causing the Companys designated transfer agent (Transfer Agent) to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holders prime broker with The Depository Trust Company (DTC), through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, as specified in the relevant Exercise Form, no later than the later of (x) two (2) Trading Days (or, if less, the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period) after the relevant Exercise Date and, (y) in the case of a Cash Exercise, one (1) Trading Day after the date the applicable aggregate Exercise Price is received by the Company, or (ii) in the case of an exercise at a time when the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise are required to bear a restrictive legend pursuant to Section 2(f)(ii) because none of the Unrestricted Conditions is met in respect thereof, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Form, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise, within five (5) Trading Days after the relevant Exercise Date. Upon the exercise of this Warrant or any part hereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel, if applicable, as shall be necessary to enable the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder in accordance with this Section 2(d) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the Transfer Agent in respect of the Warrant Shares and that the Warrant Shares will not contain any legend or be subject to any stop transfer or similar instruction if any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met in respect thereof. Upon the delivery of an Exercise Form in accordance with Section 2(a), the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holders or its designees DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and this Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days following the date the final Exercise Form is delivered to the Company. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Form with respect to a partial exercise shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the remaining number of Warrant Shares. The Holder and any assignee of the Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the Warrant Share Number (and, therefore, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder) at any given time may be less than the amount stated herein.
(f) Transferability of Warrant. Subject to Section 2(g)(iii), 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 Form in the form attached hereto
3
as Exhibit B. Within three (3) Trading Days of such surrender and delivery (the Transfer Delivery Period), 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 thereafter be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new Holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares immediately upon such assignment without having a new Warrant issued. The Holder shall pay any Transfer Taxes (as such term is defined in Section 5(b) below) imposed in connection with such transfer or assignment (if any).
(g) Restrictive Legend.
(i) The Holder understands that until such time as the Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Warrant Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order consistent therewith may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities) (the Securities Law Legend):
THE OFFER AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, INCLUDING PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO A PRIVATE SALE EFFECTED UNDER SECTION 4(a)(7) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE FORMAL OR INFORMAL SEC INTERPRETATION OR GUIDANCE, SUCH AS A SO-CALLED 4[(a)](1) AND A HALF SALE. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
(ii) This Warrant and Warrant Shares (and any certificates or electronic book entries evidencing the Warrant Shares) shall not contain or be
4
subject to (and Holder shall be entitled to removal of) any legend (or stop transfer or similar instruction) restricting the transfer thereof (including the Securities Law Legend): (A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the sale or resale of such securities is effective under the Securities Act, or (B) if the Holder provides customary certifications to the effect that it has sold, or is selling substantially contemporaneously with the delivery of such certifications, such securities pursuant to such a registration statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (C) if such securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1) under the Securities Act as set forth in customary, non-affiliate certifications provided by the Holder, or (D) if at any time on or after the date hereof that the Holder certifies that it is not a Rule 144 Affiliate and that the Holders holding period for purposes of Rule 144 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, subsection (d)(3)(ii) thereof) of at least six (6) months, or (E) if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) as determined in good faith by counsel to the Company or as set forth in a legal opinion delivered by Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP or other nationally recognized counsel to the Holder (collectively, the Unrestricted Conditions). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent, promptly after the Original Issue Date, or at such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions has been satisfied, if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the issuance of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, as applicable, without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder. If any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met at the time of issuance of the Warrant Shares then such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends and stop-transfer instructions. The Company agrees that following the Original Issue Date or at such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(g), it will, no later than the earlier of (x) two (2) Trading Days and (y) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of the Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder or its designee the Warrant Shares free from all restrictive and other legends (or similar notations) by crediting the account of the Holders prime broker with DTC, through its DWAC system. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, if the Holder delivers a certification that it is not an affiliate of the Company (as such term is used under Rule 144 under the Securities Act) and has not been an Affiliate for a period of three months, then from and after the delivery thereof, the Holder shall be deemed to have certified that it is not an affiliate of the Company (as such term is used under Rule 144 under the Securities Act) upon each delivery of an Exercise Form, unless the Holder otherwise advises the Company in writing. For purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and subsection (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that (X) this Warrant shall be deemed to have been acquired, and the holding period
5
thereof shall be deemed to have commenced, on March 11, 2020 (i.e., the date of issuance of the Note in respect of which this Warrant was issued), and (Y) the Warrant Shares issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant pursuant to a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired, and the holding period thereof shall be deemed to have commenced, on such date. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges and agrees that the removal of any restrictive legends from any securities as set forth in this Section 2(g)(ii) is predicated upon the Companys reliance that the Holder will sell such securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold while such registration statement is effective and available for resales of such securities, in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
(iii) The Holder covenants that it will not sell or otherwise transfer any Warrants or Warrant Shares except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration and prospectus-delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
(h) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. If pursuant to an exercise of this Warrant the Holder would be entitled to a fractional Common Share, then either (i) the number of Common Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be rounded up to the next higher whole number of Common Shares or (ii) the Company will pay, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, a cash amount equal to the product of the related fraction and the Volume Weighted Average Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately before the related Exercise Date.
(i) Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and amount.
(j) No Rights of Stockholders. Except as otherwise provided herein, including in Section 4(b), the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or be otherwise deemed the holder of Common Shares or any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose under this Agreement, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings.
6
(k) Holders Exercise Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant (or issue any Warrant Shares thereupon), and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant or acquire Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(c) or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise as contemplated by the applicable Exercise Form, the number of Common Shares then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holders for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any group of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein), would exceed 4.985% of the total number of Common Shares issued (excluding treasury shares) (the Beneficial Ownership Limitation); provided, however, that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an equity security pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, group has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the SEC, and the percentage beneficially owned by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as set forth in the Companys most recent annual report filed with the SEC, or any report filed by the Company with the SEC subsequent thereto, in each case, unless the Company has confirmed to the Holder the number of Common Shares outstanding as provided in the next sentence (in which case the Holder may rely upon such confirmation); provided, that the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock for such purposes shall be determined after giving effect to the exercise or conversion of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, any other warrants and any convertible notes, by the Holder and its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. Each delivery of an Exercise Form by the Holder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that the issuance of the full number of Common Shares requested in such Exercise Form is permitted under this paragraph.
(l) Cash Damages for Failure to Timely Issue Warrant Shares. If by the first (1st) Trading Day following the expiration of the Delivery Period, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder for, or, if as required by Section 2(e) hereof the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the Holders or its designees balance account with DTC with, the applicable number of Warrant Shares (in each case, free of any restrictive legend, provided that any Unrestricted Condition is satisfied), then, in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Exchange Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity, the Company shall pay additional damages to the Holder, in cash, for each thirty (30) day period after the Delivery Period such exercise is not timely effected in an amount equal to (prorated for any partial period) one percent (1.5%) of the product of (I) the number of Warrant Shares not issued and delivered to the Holder (in each case, free of any restrictive legend, provided, that any Unrestricted Condition is satisfied) or
7
its designee prior to the expiration of the Delivery Period and to which the Holder is entitled and (II) the Volume Weighted Average Price of a share of Common Stock on the last day of the Delivery Period. Alternatively, in lieu of foregoing damages but in addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Holder under this Warrant or the Exchange Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity, at the written election of the Holder made in the Holders sole discretion, if, on or after the last day of the Delivery Period in respect of such Exercise, the Holder or its brokerage firm purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder was entitled to receive upon such exercise (such purchased shares, Buy-In Shares), the Company shall (1) be obligated to promptly pay to the Holder (in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may otherwise have), 105% of the amount by which (A) the Holders total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for such Buy-In Shares exceeds (B) the net proceeds received by the Holder from the sale of a number of shares equal to up to the number of Warrant Shares such Holder was entitled to receive but had not received on or before the last day of such Delivery Period Date, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of this Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (and refund the Exercise Price therefor, to the extent paid by Holder), or deliver to the Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 2(l) within five (5) Trading Days of the date incurred, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the Company continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Company, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such cash damages, the number of Common Shares equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of the damages payments described herein divided by (Y) the Exercise Price applicable to the exercise of the Warrant to which the additional damages relate. Nothing herein shall limit a Holders right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Companys failure to timely deliver the Common Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(m) Void Exercise Form. If for any reason the Holder has not received all of the Warrant Shares (free of any restrictive legend, provided that any Unrestricted Condition is satisfied) prior to the fifteenth (15th) Business Day after the expiration of the Delivery Period with respect to an exercise of this Warrant in accordance with Section 2(e), then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company by facsimile or electronic mail (a Void Exercise Notice), may void its Exercise Form with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant with respect to which Warrant Shares have not been delivered pursuant to the Holders Exercise Form; provided, that the voiding of the Holders Exercise Form shall not affect the Companys obligations to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such Void Conversion Notice pursuant to Section 2(l).
3. Certain Representations and Agreements. The Company represents, covenants and agrees:
8
(a) This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.
(b) All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of, or otherwise pursuant to, 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 from all taxes, liens and charges. As of the Original Issue Date, the Company has reserved from its authorized and unissued Common Shares, exclusively for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, and from and after the Original Issue Date the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares solely for the purpose of effecting exercises of this Warrant, such number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant in full for cash (without giving effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation); and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Common Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant in full, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Common Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders and/or any other relevant corporate body to amend the Companys charter increasing the authorized share capital of the sufficiently high to meet the Companys obligations under this Section 3(b).
(c) The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all Warrant Shares are issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any securities exchange upon which shares of the Companys capital stock may be listed at the time of such exercise.
(d) The Company will procure, subject to issuance or notice of issuance, the listing of any Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant on the principal stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded.
4. Adjustments and Other Rights. The Exercise Price and Warrant Share Number shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided, that no single event shall cause an adjustment or distribution under more than one subsection of this Section 4 so as to result in duplication.
(a) Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time (i) pay or make a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in Common Shares, (ii) split, subdivide or reclassify the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Share Number at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such split, subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder immediately after such record date or effective date, as the case may be, shall be entitled to purchase the number of Common Shares which such Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the Common Shares subject to this Warrant after
9
such date had such Holder held a number of Common Shares equal to the Warrant Share Number immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be. In the event of such adjustment, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such split, subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be immediately adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the Warrant Share Number before the adjustment determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date, as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, combination or reclassification giving rise to such adjustment by (y) the new Warrant Share Number determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
(b) Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(j)), the Holder, as the holder of this Warrant, shall be entitled to receive, and shall be paid by the Company, any dividend paid or distribution of any kind made to the holders of Common Stock, other than a dividend or distribution resulting in an adjustment pursuant to Section 4(a), to the same extent as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full in a Cash Exercise (without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or any other limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized, reserved and available to effect any such exercise and issuance) and had held such Warrant Shares on the record date for such dividend or distribution (or, if there is no record date therefor, on the date of such dividend or distribution). Payments or distributions under this Section 4(b) shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to holders of the Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of its capital stock (the Purchase Rights), and such grant, issuance or sale does not result in a dividend or distribution resulting in an adjustment pursuant to Section 4(a), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights that the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or any other limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized, reserved and available to effect any such exercise and issuance) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
(c) Organic Change.
(i) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding an Organic Change is consummated or otherwise occurs, then, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be entitled to receive in lieu of (or in addition to, as the case may be) the Warrant Shares, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property of the Company or the Successor Entity, as the case may be, resulting from such Organic Change, which a Holder of the Warrant Share
10
Number (at the time of such Organic Change and, for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or any other restriction or limitation on exercise) of Warrant Shares would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such Organic Change if such Warrant Shares had been outstanding immediately prior to such Organic Change; and in any such case, if applicable, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder shall be appropriately adjusted (pursuant to a written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Required Holders) so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to the Holders right to exercise this Warrant in exchange for any shares of stock or other securities or property pursuant to this paragraph. If holders of Common Shares are given any choice as to the kind and/or amount of stock and/or other securities or property (including cash) to be received in an Organic Change, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Organic Change.
(ii) The Company shall cause any acquiring, surviving or successor entity in an Organic Change in which the Company does not survive as the parent entity (the Successor Entity) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof pursuant to written agreements in form and substance approved by the Required Holders (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), including agreements to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant. Upon the occurrence of any such Organic Change in which there is a Successor Entity, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Organic Change, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the Company shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein and therein.
(d) Other Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of Section 4(a), 4(b), or 4(c) or any other provision hereof that provides for an adjustment of Exercise Price, the Warrant Share Number, or the number and class of shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, but not expressly provided for by any such provision occurs, then the Company shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price, the Warrant Share Number and/or number and class of shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with such provisions; provided, that no such adjustment shall increase the Exercise Price or decrease the Warrant Share Number except as otherwise determined pursuant to the express provisions of Section 4(a).
11
(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100th) of a cent or to the nearest one-tenth (l/10th) of a share, as the case may be.
(f) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 4, the Company shall as promptly as practicable prepare and make available to the Holder a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price and Warrant Share Number that shall be in effect after such adjustment.
(g) Adjustment Rules. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 4 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur. If an adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value of the Common Stock, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par value of the Common Stock.
(h) Proceedings Prior to any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, the Company shall take such actions as are necessary, which may include obtaining regulatory, stock exchange or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares (and any other securities, if applicable) that the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 4.
5. Taxes; HSR.
(a) Taxes. The Company shall be responsible for paying all present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar taxes that arise from the issuance of this Warrant and any payment or issuance made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or otherwise with respect to, this Warrant, including upon the issuance of Warrant Shares or other securities issued upon the exercise hereof.
(b) HSR Submissions. If the Holder determines in good faith that the exercise of this Warrant is subject to notification under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the related rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the HSR Act), each of the Company and the Holder agrees to (i) cooperate with the other party in the other partys preparing and making such submission and any responses to inquiries of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and/or Department of Justice (DOJ); and (ii) prepare and make any submission required to be filed by the Company or the Holder, as applicable, under the HSR Act and respond to inquiries of the FTC and DOJ in connection therewith. The Company shall pay, or reimburse the Holder for, the costs of any required filing fees for any submissions under the HSR Act. Where the Holder notifies the Company that, pursuant to this section, the Holder has determined that an HSR filing is required, the Company shall not issue Warrant Shares until the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act.
12
6. Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute between the Company and the Holder as to the determination of the Exercise Price, Market Price or Volume Weighted Average Price, the Company shall issue, or instruct the Transfer Agent to issue, as applicable, to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via email within two (2) Business Days of receipt or deemed receipt of the Holders Exercise Form or other date of determination. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Exercise Price, Market Price or Volume Weighted Average Price within one (1) Business Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then the Company shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) submit via email (A) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price, Market Price or Volume Weighted Average Price, as applicable, to an independent, reputable investment banking firm selected by the Company and subject to the approval of the Required Holders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), or (B) in the case of a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Volume Weighted Average Price, to an independent registered public accounting firm selected by the Company and, if not the Companys auditors, subject to the approval of the Required Holders, as the case may be. The Company shall direct the investment bank or the accounting firm, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than two (2) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment banks or accounting firms determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error. Neither the Holder nor the Company shall have the right to dispute any determination pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6 unless such party notifies the other party of such dispute in writing no later than two (2) Business Days after the other party notifies the Holder or the Company, as applicable, in writing of such determination.
7. Frustration of Purpose. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any Common Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall not issue any preferred stock (or other capital stock) that contains, or provides any holder thereof with, any redemption rights or obligations (or similar features) or any liquidation preference (other than on an as-converted to Common Stock basis or a de minimis preference necessary to comply with the Delaware General Corporation Law), is convertible into Common Stock at a rate that floats or varies based upon the trading price of the Common Stock or otherwise contains rights or other terms in priority to the rights and terms of the Common Stock, and (iii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
13
Common Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. Nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to limit or otherwise affect the Companys ability to issue or sell Common Stock.

ARTICLE 2
AGREEMENT FOR THE LOAN
Section 2.1 Disbursements.
(a) Original Loans and Disbursement. The Prior Lenders made a disbursement of Loans (as defined in the Prior Agreement) to the Borrower under the Prior Agreement on the Prior Closing Date in an initial principal amount of $60,000,000 (the Prior Loans), and the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement and consummation of the Closing Date Equity Exchange, the outstanding principal amount of such Prior Loans is $60,000,000. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, after giving effect hereto and to the Closing Date Equity Exchange, the Prior Loans are hereby deemed to constitute a portion of the outstanding Loans hereunder (such portion of the Loans, the Original Loans) in the principal amount as of the Closing Date as set forth opposite each Lenders name in Annex A under the heading Original Loans. Each Disbursement Loan Lender on the Closing Date severally but not jointly agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to lend to the Borrower on the Closing Date the principal amount set forth opposite such Lenders name in Annex A under the heading Disbursement Loans (such amounts borrowed on the Closing Date under this Section 2.1(a) (and excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Original Loans) are referred to as the Disbursement Loans) by making such amounts available to the Borrower by promptly wiring such amounts to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date.
31
(b) No Re-Borrowing. Amounts borrowed, or deemed borrowed, hereunder that are paid, repaid, redeemed and/or prepaid may not be re-borrowed under any circumstance.
Section 2.2 Payments; Prepayments; Conversions; Make Whole Amount; Exit Fee.
(a) The Borrower shall pay in cash (and, if applicable, in Warrants in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 2.9) to the Agent on behalf of each of the Lenders their Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and all other applicable Obligations on the earlier of (such earlier date, the Facility Termination Date) (i) (1) with respect to the Original Loans, the Original Loan Maturity Date and (2) with respect to the Disbursement Loans, the Disbursement Loan Maturity Date and (ii) the date the principal amount of the Obligations is declared to be or automatically becomes due and payable following an Event of Default. In addition to the foregoing (but without duplication), the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations and all other Obligations shall be paid in accordance with the terms set forth in the Convertible Notes.
(b) No principal amount of any of the Loans shall be permitted to be voluntarily prepaid, repaid, redeemed or paid by any Loan Party prior to the Maturity Date applicable thereto, except as expressly provided in Section 7 of each of the Convertible Notes in respect of Optional Redemptions (subject to the terms and conditions thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal on the Loans is prepaid, repaid, redeemed or paid at any time in connection with (i) an Optional Redemption (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Forced Conversion Optional Redemption), (ii) an acceleration of the Loans following the occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) an exercise of any Secured Partys rights or remedies available under the Facility Documents, or (iv) delivery of a Put Notice, then in addition to the principal amount of the Loans and other Obligations and the issuance of Warrants pursuant to Section 2.9 (as applicable)), the Borrower shall contemporaneously pay in cash (A) any accrued and unpaid interest owed on such principal and (B) the Make Whole Amount, in each case, applicable to the principal amount of the Loans so prepaid, repaid, redeemed, paid or otherwise reduced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Make Whole Amount shall be payable upon any Forced Conversion Optional Redemption of the Disbursement Loan Convertible Notes, any Major Transaction Conversion or any other conversion of the Notes into Conversion Shares.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Facility Documents, at the time any of the Disbursement Loans are paid, repaid, discharged, redeemed or prepaid (whether before, at the time of or after the Disbursement Loan Maturity Date or upon any acceleration, bankruptcy, repayment required upon delivery of a Put Notice, Optional Redemption (including a Forced Conversion Optional Redemption) or otherwise) or upon a Successor Major Transaction Conversion, the Borrower shall pay to each Disbursement Loan Lender its Pro Rata Share of a non-refundable exit fee (the Exit Fee) equal to 1.95% of the amount of the Disbursement Loans so paid, repaid, redeemed, discharged or prepaid pursuant to the terms of the Disbursement Loan Convertible Notes; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that no Exit Fee shall be payable upon any Major Transaction Conversion in respect of a Company Share Major Transaction, other conversion of the Disbursement Loan Notes into Conversion Shares (except for a Successor Major Transaction Conversion) or payment of the Exercise Price of any Warrant through a reduction of principal as provided in Section 2.2(g). The Exit Fee is fully earned on the date hereof and shall be due and payable in cash upon each such payment, repayment, redemption or prepayment of the applicable Disbursement Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2(c). For the avoidance of doubt, no Exit Fees shall be payable in respect of the Original Loans.
(d) The Make Whole Amount and the Exit Fee shall automatically be due and payable at any time any of the Loans subject to such amounts become due and payable prior to the applicable Maturity Date of the applicable Loans in accordance with the terms hereof as though such Debt was voluntarily prepaid and shall constitute part of the Obligations, whether due to acceleration pursuant to the
32
terms of this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise (including, without limitation, on account of any bankruptcy filing), in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of such acceleration, and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable estimation and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders as a result thereof. Any Make Whole Amount or Exit Fee payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination, acceleration or prepayment and each Loan Party agrees that such Make Whole Amount or Exit Fee is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Make Whole Amount and, in the case of the Disbursement Loans, the Exit Fee shall also be payable in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means or the Obligations are reinstated pursuant to Section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code. If the Make Whole Amount and/or the Exit Fee becomes due and payable pursuant to this Agreement, such Make Whole Amount and/or Exit Fee shall be deemed to be principal of the applicable Loans and Obligations under this Agreement and interest shall accrue on the full principal amount of such Loans (including the Make Whole Amount and/or Exit Fee, as applicable) from and after the applicable triggering event. In the event the Make Whole Amount and/or Exit Fee is determined not to be due and payable by order of any court of competent jurisdiction, including, without limitation, by operation of the Bankruptcy Code, despite such a triggering event having occurred, such Make Whole Amount and Exit Fee, as applicable, shall nonetheless constitute Obligations under this Agreement for all purposes hereunder. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE MAKE WHOLE AMOUNT OR EXIT FEE AND ANY DEFENSE TO PAYMENT, WHETHER SUCH DEFENSE MAY BE BASED IN PUBLIC POLICY OR AMBIGUITY. The Loan Parties, the Agent and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that any Make Whole Amount and the Exit Fee due and payable in accordance with this Agreement shall not constitute unmatured interest, whether under Section 5.02(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Each Loan Party further acknowledges and agrees, and waives any argument to the contrary, that payment of such amount does not constitute a penalty or an otherwise unenforceable or invalid obligation. Each Loan Party expressly agrees that (i) the Make Whole Amount and Exit Fee are each reasonable and each is the product of an arms-length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) the Make Whole Amount and Exit Fee shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (iii) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Make Whole Amount and Exit Fee, (iv) the Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 2.2, (v) their agreement to pay the Make Whole Amount and Exit Fee is a material inducement to the Lenders to make the Loans, and (vi) the Make Whole Amount and Exit Fee represent a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits, losses or other damages of the Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of such event. The Exit Fee, as applicable, and Make Whole Amount Fee shall be paid by the Borrower to the Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares of the principal amount of the Loans prepaid, repaid, redeemed, paid or otherwise reduced on the date of such prepayment, repayment, redemption, payment or other reduction.
(e) Each cash payment, repayment, redemption and prepayment by the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be applied (i) first, to all fees, costs and expenses (including any attorneys fees) owed to the Agent under the Facility Documents, (ii) second, ratably to all fees, costs and expenses (including any attorneys fees) owed to any Lender under the Facility Documents, (iii) third, ratably to accrued and unpaid interest owed to the Lenders under the Facility Documents, (iv) fourth, ratably to the principal amount of the Loans owed to the Lenders (including any Make Whole Amount and Exit Fee), and (v) fifth, to all other Obligations owing to Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party, and, with respect
33
to any such Obligations owed to the Lenders, shall be allocated among the Lenders in accordance with and in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares.
(f) Each Lender shall have the right to convert all or any part of the principal amount of its Convertible Notes (and the Loans evidenced thereby) into shares of Common Stock in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Convertible Notes. Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of any of the Disbursement Loan Convertible Notes converted into shares of Common Stock or reduced in payment of the Exercise Price (as defined in the applicable Warrant) of any Warrant as provided in Section 2.2(g), such payment to be made on the earlier of the next Interest Payment Date or the first date following the date of such Conversion or reduction on which any accrued and unpaid interest otherwise becomes due and payable on the Loan evidenced by such Disbursement Loan Convertible Note (pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or otherwise), to the Lender then holding such Disbursement Loan Convertible Note. The Agent shall be promptly notified of any Conversion and shall treat the same as a prepayment of outstanding Loans. Any Conversion of principal under a Convertible Note by any Lender, or any payment of the Exercise Price (as defined in the applicable Warrant) of any Warrant by reducing the principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to such Exercise Price as provided in Section 2.2(g), shall be applied against, and reduce, the principal amount of such Lenders Loan evidenced by such Convertible Note on the same basis as the repayment of such principal amount in cash hereunder and shall otherwise for all purposes hereof be deemed a repayment of such principal amount), in each case, as of the date of such applicable Conversion or exercise.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender which is also a holder of Warrants may, at such Lenders sole option, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Warrant, pay the Exercise Price (as defined in the applicable Warrant) by reducing the principal amount of such Lenders Loans in an amount equal to such Exercise Price, in connection with a Note Exchange Exercise (as defined in the applicable Warrant) and in accordance with Section 2(d) of the applicable Warrant.
Section 2.3 Payment Details. All payments, prepayments and repayments of the Obligations by the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder and under any of the other Facility Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim. Payments, prepayments and repayments of any amounts and other Obligations due to Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or the other Facility Documents shall be made in in cash Dollars in immediately available funds prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date that any such payment is due, using the wire information or address for Agent that is set forth on Schedule 2.3 or at such other bank or place as Agent or such applicable Lenders shall from time to time designate in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date such payment is due. Any payment received by Agent or any Lender after such time may, in the Agents discretion, be deemed to have been made on the following Business Day. The Borrower shall pay all and any fees, costs and expenses (administrative or otherwise) imposed
by banks, clearing houses or any other financial institutions in connection with making any payments under any of the Facility Documents.
Section 2.4 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments hereunder or pursuant to any other Facility Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for Taxes except as required by Law. If any Loan Party shall be required by Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or pursuant to any other Facility Document, (i) such Loan Party shall make such deductions or withholding, (ii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with Law, and (iii) to the extent that the deduction or withholding is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased by as much as shall be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.4), each Lender shall receive an
34
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made (any and all such additional amounts payable being hereinafter referred to as Additional Amounts). As soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days, after the date of any payment of such Taxes, the applicable Loan Party shall furnish to the applicable Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Lender.
(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay all Other Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with Law. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Other Taxes by any Loan Party, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Lender.
(c) The Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify, within ten (10) days after receipt of demand therefor, each Lender Party for all Indemnified Taxes (including all Indemnified Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.4(c)) paid or payable by such Lender Party, and any Liabilities arising therefrom or relating thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of the applicable Lender Party setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower shall be absolute, conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.
(d) Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall, on or before the date on which the Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, provide to Borrower and the Agent a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is not subject to backup withholding tax. Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a Foreign Lender) and is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement shall, on or before the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, provide Borrower and the Agent with a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or other applicable forms (together with any required supporting documentation), or any other applicable certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, and, if such Foreign Lender is relying on the portfolio interest exception of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), shall also provide the Borrower with a certificate (the Portfolio Interest Certificate) representing that such Foreign Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), is not a 10% holder of the Borrower described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), and is not a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person (within the meaning of Sections 881(c)(3)(C) and 864(d)(4) of the Code or any successor provisions thereto). If the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a Portfolio Interest Certificate on behalf of such partners. Each Lender shall provide new forms (or successor forms) as reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Agent from time to time and shall notify the Borrower in writing within a reasonable time after becoming aware of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms previously delivered by such Lender to the Borrower.
(e) If a payment to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the times prescribed by law or as reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent, such documentation as is required in order for the Borrower or the Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.4(e), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
35
(f) If a Lender or the Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.4, such Lender or the Agent shall promptly pay such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or Additional Amounts paid under this Section 2.4 with respect to the Taxes refunded) to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expense (including any Taxes imposed thereon) of such Lender of the Agent incurred in obtaining such refund or making such payment, provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or the Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender or the Agent if such Lender or the Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4(f), in no event shall a Lender or the Agent be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.4(f), the payment of which would place such Lender or the Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Lender or the Agent would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments with respect to such Tax had never been paid. Nothing in this Section 2.4(f) shall require any Lender or the Agent to disclose any information it deems confidential (including its tax returns) to any Person, including the Borrower.
Section 2.5 Costs, Expenses and Losses. If, as a result of any failure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any sums or Obligations due under this Agreement or any other Facility Document on the due date therefor (after the expiration of any applicable grace periods, but without giving effect to any grace period after the occurrence of an Event of Default of the type set forth in Section 7.1(d)), the Agent or any Lender shall incur costs, expenses and/or losses, by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits from third parties or in connection with obtaining funds to make or maintain any Loan, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent or such Lender upon request by the Agent or such Lender, the amount of such costs, expenses and/or losses within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Borrower of a certificate from the Agent or such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such costs, expenses and/or losses, along with supporting documentation. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, costs, expenses and/or losses shall include any interest paid or payable to carry any unpaid amount and any loss, premium, penalty or expense that may be incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits of or borrowings from third parties and/or third Persons in order to make, maintain or fund any Loan or any portion thereof.
Section 2.6 Interest. From and after the Closing Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Original Loans and any overdue interest in respect of the Original Loans shall bear interest at the Original Loan Interest Rate, and the outstanding principal amount of the Disbursement Loans, any overdue interest in respect of the Disbursement Loans, and any other amounts and Obligations (other than the Original Loans) shall bear interest at the SOFR Interest Rate. Interest payable at the Original Loan Interest Rate shall be paid in cash quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2022 (each, together with the Maturity Date, an Original Loan Interest Payment Date). Interest payable at the SOFR Interest Rate shall be paid in cash on the last Business Day of each Interest Period in arrears, commencing with the first such Interest Period to end after October 1, 2022 (each, together with the Maturity Date, a Disbursement Loan Interest Payment Date; each Original Loan Interest Payment Date and Disbursement Loan Interest Payment Date, as applicable, an Interest Payment Date). Interest shall accrue to, but not including, each Interest Payment Date.

36

Such interest shall be payable in cash on demand.
(b) At the election of the Required Lenders while any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described under clause (a) above) exists (or automatically while any Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(d) exists), the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by Law) on the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, from and after the date of occurrence of such Event of Default, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Interest Rate then in effect for the Loans, plus two percent (2.0%). Such interest shall be payable in cash on demand.

Section 2.9 Warrants.
(a) On each date any principal amount of any of the Loans is paid, repaid, redeemed or prepaid prior to the Maturity Date thereof, including upon any acceleration, bankruptcy, Optional Redemption (other than a Forced Conversion Optional Redemption) acceleration of the Loans following the occurrence of an Event of Default or exercise of any Secured Partys rights or remedies available under the Facility Documents following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall issue to the Lender whose Loan is so paid, repaid, redeemed or prepaid a warrant to purchase an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate number of Conversion Shares into which such principal amount was convertible immediately prior to such payment, repayment, redemption or prepayment, at the Conversion Price then in effect pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Note evidencing such Loan (computed without regard to any limitations on conversion thereof), such warrant to be in substantially the form of Exhibit E and with an expiration date of the Disbursement Loan Maturity Date (a Warrant and any such warrants, collectively, the Warrants). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Warrants shall be issuable upon (w) any Conversion of the Convertible Notes, (x) a Forced Conversion Optional Redemption, (y) a repayment required upon delivery of a Put Notice, or (z) any payment of the Exercise Price of any Warrant by reducing the principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to such Exercise Price as provided in Section 2.2(g) and (ii) the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Convertible Notes) use for calculating the Warrants shall not include the Premium Amount (as defined in the Disbursement Loan Convertible Notes).
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the class of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each of the Warrants shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustments in the number of shares or class of Common Stock into which such Warrant is exercisable that would have taken effect
37
pursuant to the terms of such Warrant had such Warrant been issued on the Closing Date and remained outstanding through the date of such issuance.
Section 2.10 Rates; Inability to Determine Rate; Illegality; Benchmark Replacement.
(a) The Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to Base Rate, Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, Base Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of Base Rate, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain Base Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
(b) If at any time the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason that Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Upon such notice, the SOFR Interest Rate shall be deemed to be the sum of (x) the Base Rate, plus (y) 6.75%. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted.
(c) If any Lender determines that any applicable law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund the Loan at an interest rate determined by reference to Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Agent) (an Illegality Notice), (a) any obligation of the Lenders to make Term SOFR loans shall be suspended until each affected Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable, the SOFR Interest Rate shall be deemed to be the sum of (x) the Base Rate, plus (y) 6.75%, until the Agent is advised in writing by each affected Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such
38
amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
(e) In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(f) The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will notify the Borrower of the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.10, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.10.
(g) Upon the Borrowers receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the SOFR Interest Rate shall be deemed to be the sum of (x) the Base Rate, plus (y) 6.75%.

All information delivered to Agent and pertaining to the financial condition of any Loan Party fairly presents in all material respects the financial position of such Loan Party as of such respective date in conformity with GAAP (and as to unaudited financial statements, subject to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnote disclosures). Since June 30, 2022, there has been no material adverse change in the business, operations, properties or condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party.
Section 3.6 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.6, as of the Closing Date, and except as hereafter disclosed to Agent in writing, to the best of Borrowers knowledge, there is no Litigation pending against,
or to such Loan Partys knowledge, threatened in writing against or affecting, any Loan Party or, to the best of such Loan Partys knowledge, any party to any Facility Document other than a Loan Party involving more than, individually or in the aggregate, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). There is no Litigation pending in which an adverse decision would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which in any manner draws into question the validity of any of the Facility Documents.
Section 3.7 Ownership of Property. Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries is the lawful owner of, has good title to and is in lawful possession of, or has valid leasehold interests in, all properties, accounts and other assets (real or personal, tangible, intangible or mixed), in each case constituting a Material Intangible Asset or that is otherwise material to its business, subject, in each case, only to Permitted Liens and except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes purported or reported to be owned or leased (as the case may be) by such Person.
Section 3.8 No Default. No Event of Default, or to such Loan Partys knowledge, Default, has occurred and is continuing. No Loan Party is in breach or default under or with respect to any contract, agreement, lease or other instrument to which it is a party or by which its property is bound or affected, which breach or default would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.9 Labor Matters. As of the Closing Date, there are no strikes or other labor disputes pending or, to any Loan Partys knowledge, threatened in writing against any Loan Party, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours worked and payments made to the employees of the Loan Parties have not been in material violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Law dealing with such matters. All payments due from the Loan Parties, or for which any claim may be made against any of them, on account of wages and employee and retiree health and welfare insurance and other benefits have been paid or accrued as a liability on their books, as the case may be. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Facility Documents will not give rise to a right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound, the result of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.10 Regulated Entities. No Loan Party is an investment company or a company controlled by an investment company or a subsidiary of an investment company, all within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

No Loan Party has incurred liability for any material excise tax under any of Sections 4971 through 5000 of the Code.
(b) Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Loan Party and each Subsidiary is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the provision of the Code relating to ERISA Plans and the regulations and published interpretations therein. During the thirty-six (36) month period prior to the Closing Date or the making of any Loan (i) no steps have been taken to terminate any Pension Plan, and (ii) no contribution failure has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to a Lien under Section 303(k) of ERISA or Section 430(k) of the Code and no event has occurred that would give rise to a Lien under Section 4068 of ERISA. No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan which could result in the incurrence by any Loan Party of any material liability, fine or penalty.

Except for the Facility Documents, the agreements specifically listed in the definition of Material Contracts and the other agreements set forth on Schedule 3.17, as of the Closing Date there are no Material Contracts. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Facility Documents will not give rise to a right of termination in favor of any party to any Material Contract (other than any Loan Party), except for such Material Contracts the noncompliance with which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.18 Compliance with Environmental Requirements; No Hazardous Materials. Except in each case as set forth on Schedule 3.18:

A list of all Registered Intellectual Property of each Loan Party and all material in-bound license or sublicense agreements and material exclusive out-bound license or sublicense agreements (but excluding in-bound licenses of over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public), as of the Closing Date is set forth on
43
Schedule 3.19. Schedule 3.19 shall be prepared by Borrower in the form provided by Agent and contain all information required in such form.

All financial projections delivered to Agent and the Lenders by Loan Parties (or their agents) have been prepared on the basis of the assumptions stated therein. Such projections represent each Loan Partys best estimate of such Loan Partys future financial performance and such assumptions are believed by such Loan Party to be fair and reasonable in light of current business conditions; provided, however, that Loan Parties can give no assurance that such projections will be attained.
Section 3.22 SEC Documents. Since December 31, 2020 through the date hereof, the Borrower has filed, through the SECs Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (or successor thereto) (EDGAR), all of the SEC Documents within the time frames prescribed by the SEC for the filing of such SEC Documents such that each filing was timely filed with the SEC. As of their respective dates, each of the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act (as applicable) and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents. None of the SEC Documents, at the time filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Since the filing of the SEC Documents, no event has occurred that would require an amendment or supplement to any of the SEC Documents and as to which such an amendment or a supplement has not been filed and made publicly available on EDGAR on or prior to the date this representation is made. The Borrower has not received any written comments from the SEC staff that have not been resolved to the satisfaction of the SEC staff.
Section 3.23 Financial Statements; Financial Condition. As of their respective dates, the consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC (including Regulation S-X) with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments that are not material individually or in the aggregate and lack of footnote disclosures), and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders equity for the periods specified. There are no material off-balance sheet arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or other Persons that (a) may have a material current or, to any of the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries knowledge, future effect on any Loan Partys or any of its Subsidiaries financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources or significant components of revenue or expenses or (b) that are
44
required to be disclosed by the Borrower in the SEC Documents that have not been so disclosed in the SEC Documents. The accounting firm that expressed its opinion with respect to the consolidated financial statements included in the Borrowers most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K, and reviewed the consolidated financial statements included in the Borrowers most recently filed quarterly report on Form 10-Q, was independent of the Borrower pursuant to the standards set forth in Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC and as required by the applicable rules and guidance of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), and such firm was otherwise qualified to render such opinion under Applicable Law and the rules and regulations of the SEC. If applicable, the pro forma financial statements included in the SEC Documents (including by way of incorporation by reference) comply, in all material respects, with the applicable requirements of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC, the assumptions used in preparing such pro forma financial statements provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the transactions or events described therein, the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions, and the pro forma columns therein reflect the proper application of those adjustments to the corresponding historical financial statement amounts. Since the date of the latest balance sheet included in the Borrowers most recent periodic report (on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K) filed prior to the date this representation is made (the date of such balance sheet, the Latest Balance Sheet Date) or as otherwise disclosed in any SEC Document, (i) there has been no Material Adverse Effect or any event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has sold any material assets, or entered into any material transactions, outside of the ordinary course of business, except as permitted by this Agreement and (iii) the Borrower has not declared, paid or made any dividends or other distributions to holders of its Stock, except as permitted by this Agreement. All financial performance projections included in any SEC Document or otherwise publicly disclosed by the Borrower represent the Borrowers good faith estimate of future financial performance and are based on assumptions believed by the Borrower to be fair and reasonable in light of current market conditions, it being acknowledged and agreed by Agent and the Lenders that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections may differ from the projected results and such differences may be material.
Section 3.24 Subsidiaries. Loan Parties do not own any stock, partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other equity securities or Subsidiaries except for Permitted Investments.
Section 3.25 [Reserved].
Section 3.26 Accounting Controls. Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (a) transactions are executed in accordance with managements general or specific authorizations, (b) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset and liability accountability, (c) access to assets or incurrence of liability is permitted only in accordance with managements general or specific authorization and (d) the recorded accountability for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have (i) timely filed and made publicly available on EDGAR all certifications, statements and documents required by (1) Rule 13a-14 or Rule 15d-14 under the Exchange Act. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries maintain disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act; such controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the reports that they file with or submit to the SEC (A) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Borrowers (and, to the extent applicable, its Subsidiaries) management, including its or their principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.26, the Borrower and its
45
Subsidiaries maintain internal control over financial reporting required by Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act; such internal control over financial reporting is effective and does not contain any material weaknesses.
Section 3.27 Shares of Stock.

(b) Upon the filing of the Announcing Form 8-K, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall have disclosed all material, non-public information (if any) regarding any Loan Party, its securities, any Loan Party, its securities, any of its Affiliates or any other Person provided or made available to any Lender Party or any of its Affiliates, attorneys, agents or representatives by any Loan Party or any of its employees, officers, directors (or equivalent persons), attorneys, agents or representatives on or prior to the Closing Date.

56
Inside Information and (ii) provide such notice or communication to counsel to such Secured Party (which shall be Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP (Attn: Mark D. Wood)) or such other counsel as shall have been designated in writing by such Secured Party. In the event that, in compliance with the foregoing, the Borrower indicates to a Secured Party that a notice or other communication contains Inside Information and such Secured Party then refuses to accept such notice or other communication, the Borrower shall be excused from any obligation hereunder to provide such notice or other communication to such Secured Party (subject to the Borrowers obligation to provide such notice or communication to counsel for such Secured Party). In the event that the Borrower either (A) fails to indicate that a notice or communication to a Secured Party contains Inside Information or otherwise provides any Secured Party with Insider Information without such Secured Partys prior written consent or (B) provides such notice or communication to any Secured Party notwithstanding any such Secured Partys refusal in writing to receive such notice or communication, such Secured Party shall have the right to make a public disclosure in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise of the applicable Inside Information without the prior approval by any Loan Party, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, attorneys, representatives or agents, and no Secured Party (nor any of its Affiliates, agents or representatives) shall have any liability to any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, stockholders, attorneys, representatives or agents for any such disclosure.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Borrower reasonably and in good faith determines that it is necessary to disclose material non-public information to the Agent or any Lender for purposes relating to any of the Facility Documents (a Necessary Disclosure), the Borrower shall inform counsel to the Agent (which shall be Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP or such other counsel as shall have been designated in writing by the Agent) of such determination without disclosing the applicable material non-public information, and the Borrower and such counsel on behalf of the Agent shall endeavor to agree upon a process for making such Necessary Disclosure to the applicable Lender Party or its representatives that is mutually acceptable to the Agent and the Borrower (an Agreed Disclosure Process). Thereafter, the Borrower shall be permitted to make such Necessary Disclosure (only) in accordance with the Agreed Disclosure Process.
(e) Neither the Agent, any Lender nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be deemed to be in possession of any material non-public information because such information was provided to any attorney or agent of any such Person, and the Borrower agrees not to (and the Borrower agrees to cause its Affiliates not to) assert any contrary position.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Facility Document, in the event that the Borrower consummates a Qualified Equity Financing, the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Convertible Notes may, at the Borrowers election, and provided that the Borrower shall then be in compliance with Section 5.22, be reduced by a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the lesser of (y) the Shortfall Share Number, and (z) 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment for any Stock
Split that occurs following the Closing Date and prior to the consummation of such Qualified Equity Financing).
Section 5.22 Stockholder Approval; Proxy Materials.
(a) The Borrower covenants and agrees that it will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Stockholder Approval as soon as possible, and in any event within seventy (75) days following the Closing Date (the Initial Stockholder Approval Deadline) or, if notwithstanding such efforts the Stockholder Approval is not obtained on or prior to the Initial Stockholder Approval Deadline, as soon as practicable thereafter.
(b) Without limiting the Borrowers obligations under Section 5.22(a), as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within twenty-five (25) days, following the Closing Date, the Borrower shall prepare and file with the SEC, a preliminary proxy statement with respect to a special meeting of the Borrowers stockholder (the Special Meeting) to be held for the sole purpose of considering the Proposal (any such proxy statement, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, and whether in preliminary or definitive form, the Proxy Statement). Each Proxy Statement shall include the Proposal (and shall not include any other proposal without the consent of the Required Lenders) and such information as may be necessary to enable the stockholders consideration of the Proposal. Each Proxy Statement shall include the recommendation of the board of directors of the Borrower that stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of the Proposal at each Stockholders Meeting.
(c) The Borrower shall use its reasonable best efforts to have any comments to the Proxy Statement received from the SEC cleared or otherwise resolved as soon as possible after receipt of any such comments. The Borrower shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Proxy Statement to be filed with the SEC in definitive form and mailed to the Borrowers stockholders and to hold the Special Meeting as soon as possible after the earliest of (A) the clearance or resolution of all SEC comments to the
58
Proxy Statement, (B) notification by the SEC that it has concluded its review of the Proxy Statement and (C) the conclusion of the ten (10)-day review period for preliminary proxy statements under Rule 14a-6(a) under the Exchange Act without receipt of any SEC comments or notice from the staff of the SEC that it will be reviewing the Proxy Statement and (ii) solicit the Stockholder Approval (including by retaining and utilizing the efforts of a nationally recognized proxy solicitation firm).
(d) In the event that the Stockholder Approval is not obtained at the first Special Meeting, the Borrower shall continue to call and hold special meetings of its stockholders as often as possible thereafter to seek the Stockholder Approval until the Stockholder Approval is obtained, and, in connection with each such Special Meeting, the Borrower shall comply with the provisions of Section 5.22(b).
(e) Promptly after the Stockholder Approval is obtained, and in any event within one (1) Business Day thereafter, the Borrower shall (i) deliver notice of the Stockholder Approval to Agent and file with the Commission a Form 8-K disclosing the same, (ii) file the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and cause the Charter Amendment to become effective immediately upon such filing or, if the Charter Amendment provides for a reverse split of the Common Stock, within twenty-four (24) hours following the filing thereof, and (iii) cause the maximum number of shares issuable, or that may become issuable, upon conversion or exercise of, or otherwise pursuant to the Convertible Notes and the Warrants (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the maximum number of Additional Shares that may become issuable pursuant to the Convertible Notes) to be reserved exclusively for issuance pursuant to the Convertible Notes and the Warrants.
(f) The Borrower agrees that (A) none of the information to be included or incorporated by reference in each Proxy Statement shall at the date it is first mailed to the Borrowers stockholders or at the time of each Stockholders Meeting or at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, (B) each Proxy Statement shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act.
(g) Until such time as the Stockholder Approval shall have been obtained and the Charter Effective Time and any Reverse Split Effective Time shall have occurred, the Borrower shall not reserve from its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock any shares of Common Stock for any purpose other than for issuance upon exercise of warrants issued in a Qualified Offering, if following such reservation, the number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock available and reserved exclusively for issuance pursuant to the Convertible Notes and Warrants would be insufficient to permit the conversion or exercise of the Convertible Notes and Warrants for the maximum number of shares issuable (or that may become issuable) upon the conversion or exercise thereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the maximum number of Additional Shares that may become issuable pursuant to the Convertible Notes).
Section 5.23 Post-Closing Obligations. Notwithstanding the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV or any other provision set forth herein to the contrary above, the Borrower has informed the Agent and the Lenders that certain of such items required to be delivered to the Agent or performed or otherwise satisfied as conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement will not be delivered to Agent as of the date hereof. Therefore, with respect to the items set forth on Schedule 5.23 (collectively, the Post-Closing Items), the Borrower shall deliver (or otherwise satisfy) each Post-Closing Item to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent in the form, manner and time set forth on such Schedule 5.23 for such Post-Closing Item or within such longer time or different form or manner as the Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion.

(a) This Agreement and the other Facility Documents (unless otherwise expressly stated therein) shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
(b) Each Party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, unless otherwise expressly stated therein, the other Facility Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan (and, in each case, the applicable state and federal appeals courts sitting in the City of New York or, if not available or applicable, the State of New York). Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or under the other Facility Documents or in connection herewith or with the other Facility Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding; provided that nothing in this Agreement or in any other Facility Document shall limit the right of the Agent or any Lender to commence any suit, action or proceeding in federal, state or other court of any other jurisdiction to the extent the Agent or such Lender determines that such suit, action or proceeding is necessary or appropriate to exercise its rights or remedies under this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents.
(c) Each Party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding 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 other manner permitted by law.
(d) THE PARTIES HERETO, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENTS AND ANY OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY.

(d) Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by a holder thereof in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan, financing or Debt secured by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities under the Facility Documents, and no such holder effecting any such pledge of Securities shall be required to provide any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to any Loan Party pursuant to any Facility Document. Each Loan Party hereby agrees, and agrees to cause each of its Subsidiaries, to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by a holder of Securities.

(d) No consideration shall be offered or paid (in any form, whether cash, capital stock, other property or otherwise) to any Lender to amend, restate, supplement, modify or change or consent to a waiver of (or a diversion from) any provision of any of the Facility Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the Lenders under the Facility Documents.
Section 8.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Such
71
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of the making of any Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied, in each case, other than contingent obligations not due and owing.
(b) All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Facility Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive (and shall continue to be made in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof after) the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Secured Parties, regardless of any investigation made by the Secured Parties or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Secured Parties may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect (and shall continue to be made in accordance with the terms of the applicable Facility Documents) as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder or under the other Facility Documents shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

No failure or delay on the part of the Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Facility Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. No course of dealing and no delay in exercising, or omission to exercise, any right, power or remedy accruing to Agent or the Lenders upon any breach, Default or Event of Default under this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein; nor shall the action of Agent or the Lenders in respect of any such breach, Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence by it therein, affect or impair any right, power or remedy of Agent or the Lenders in respect of any other breach, Default or any Event of Default. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
Section 8.10 Indemnity.
(a) The Loan Parties shall, at all times, (1) indemnify and hold harmless (the Indemnity) Agent, each Lender, each other Secured Party, each of their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, an Indemnified Person) in connection with any losses, claims or proceedings (including the reasonable and documented attorneys fees incurred in defending against such claims or proceedings), damages, liabilities, penalties or other expenses arising out of, or relating to, the Facility Documents, the extension of credit under the Facility Documents or the Loans or the other Obligations, the use or intended use of the Loans or the other Obligations and the issuance of the Securities (including any transactions or assets financed in whole or in
72
part, directly or indirectly, therewith), any disclosure made pursuant to Section 5.18, or the status of a Lender or other holder of Securities as an investor in any Loan Party (collectively, the Indemnifiable Matters), that an Indemnified Person may incur or to which an Indemnified Person may become subject (each, a Loss), and (2) reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other fees and expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing, responding to, complying with, or participating in (including as a deponent or witness), or defending against, any Indemnifiable Matter (collectively Indemnifiable Expenses), or in connection with the enforcement of this provision with respect to any of the above, as such Indemnifiable Expenses are incurred. The foregoing Indemnity and reimbursement of Indemnifiable Expenses shall not be available to any Indemnified Person to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal of competent jurisdiction issues a final and non-appealable judgment that the applicable Loss resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The Indemnity and reimbursement of Indemnifiable Expenses are independent of, and in addition to, any other agreement of any Party under any other Facility Document to indemnify or any amount to the any of the Secured Parties, and any exclusion of any obligation to pay any amount under this Section 9.10(a) shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other section or provision hereof or under any other agreement, instrument or document. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.10 shall not apply to Taxes, other than Indemnified Taxes and any Taxes arising from any non-Tax claim.
(b) An Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own legal counsel with the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel and of such Indemnified Person to be paid by the Loan Parties. The indemnification required by this Section 8.10 shall be made and paid by such Loan Parties as Losses are incurred within ten (10) Business Days of written demand by such Indemnified Person.
(c) No settlement of (or any other agreement or arrangement related to) any Loss shall be entered into by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Person.
(d) No Loan Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, assert, and each Loan Party on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby waives, any claim, loss or amount against any Indemnified Person with respect to any 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 or any of the other Facility Documents or any undertaking or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
Section 8.11 No Usury. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the highest rate permitted by Law. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the highest lawful rate permitted by Law, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the highest lawful rate permitted by Law until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest that would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration that constitutes interest in excess of the highest lawful rate permitted by Law, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lenders option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Loan Parties.
Section 8.12 [Reserved].

Section 8.13 Agent.
(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Deerfield Partners, L.P. (together with any successor Agent appointed by Deerfield Partners, L.P. or any successor Agent that was appointed by the Required Lenders), as Agent hereunder and under the other Facility Documents and authorizes Agent to (i) execute and deliver the Facility Documents to which it is a party and accept delivery thereof on its behalf from any Loan Party, (ii) take such other actions on its behalf and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies and perform the duties as are expressly delegated to Agent under the Facility Documents and (iii) exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Facility Document, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein; nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Facility Document or otherwise exist against Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term agent herein and in other Facility Documents with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The provisions of this Section 8.13 are solely for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders and none of the Borrower or the other Loan Parties shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions in this Section 8.13. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, Agent shall act solely as agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Loan Party or any other Loan Party. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Facility Documents, by or through its agents, subagents, servicers, trustees, investment managers or employees and any such Person shall benefit from this Section 8.13 to the extent provided by Agent. Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Facility Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not Agent, and Agent and its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in and generally engage in any kind of business with each Loan Party, Affiliate of any Loan Party as if it were not Agent hereunder. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.
(b) Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Facility Document by or through agents, subagents, employees or attorneys in fact, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, subagent or attorney in fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, attorneys, advisors, representatives or agents shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Facility Document or the Transactions or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or Affiliate of any Loan Party, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Facility Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Facility Document, or the validity, effectiveness,
74
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Facility Document (or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Facility Document to perform its obligations (including the Obligations) hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Facility Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Loan Partys Affiliates.
(d) Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Facility Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify Agent against any and all liabilities and expenses (including any fees and expenses of counsel to Agent) that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Facility Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon each Lender.
(e) Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or any Loan Party referring to this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, describing such Event of Default or Default and stating that such notice is a notice of default. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Default as the Required Lenders may direct; provided that, unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent shall not take any such action, or refrain from taking any such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default.
(f) Each Lender acknowledges that Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and the other Loan Parties, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Facility Documents and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder and under the other Facility Documents. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary or appropriate to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Loan Party that may come into the possession of Agent.
(g) Other than with respect to the matters described in clause (i) below, which shall be governed by such clause, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each
75
Lender shall severally indemnify upon demand Agent and its directors, officers, partners, employees, attorneys, advisors, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), according to its applicable pro rata share, from and against any and all losses, claims (including the reasonable attorneys fees incurred in defending against such claims), damages, liabilities, penalties or other expenses arising out of, or relating to, any of Agents duties, responsibilities or actions set forth in or that taken pursuant to the Facility Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any payment to any such Person of any portion of the foregoing to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the applicable Persons gross negligence or willful misconduct. No action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 8.13(g). Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lenders ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any document contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such fees, costs and expenses by or on behalf of the Loan Parties. The undertaking in this Section 8.13(g) shall survive repayment of the Loans and the other Obligations, termination of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents and the resignation or replacement of Agent.
(h) Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days notice to the Lenders, and the Required Lenders have the right, at their sole election, to remove the Person serving as Agent upon ten (10) days notice to Agent (or immediately upon any material breach of Agent of its obligations under the Facility Documents). If Agent resigns under this Agreement or the Required Lenders remove the Person serving as Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Agent for such successor Agent and the Lenders. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation or removal of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, a successor Agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the term Agent shall mean such successor Agent, and the retiring or removed Agents appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be immediately and automatically terminated at such time. After any retiring Agents resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 8.13 shall inure to its benefit (in its capacity as Agent) as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date that is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agents notice of resignation (or at the time of removal of a Person as Agent), the retiring Agents resignation or removal shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.
(i) Each Lender further agrees to indemnify Agent, its Affiliates and each of its and their employees, advisors, attorneys, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by any Loan Party), severally and ratably, from and against Liabilities (including Taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent, its Affiliates or any of its or their employees, advisors, attorneys, representatives or agents in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Facility Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent, its Affiliates or any of its or their employees, advisors, attorneys, representatives or agents under or with respect to any of the foregoing.
76
Section 8.14 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the USA Patriot Act and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.
Section 8.15 Placement Agent. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall be solely responsible for the payment of any fees, costs, expenses and commissions of any placement agent, broker or financial adviser relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by the Facility Documents, including the offer, sale and issuance of the Securities. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall pay, and hold each of the Lender Parties harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including attorneys fees, costs and expenses) arising in connection with any claim for any such payment.
Section 8.16 Independent Nature of Secured Parties. The obligations of each Secured Party under the Facility Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Secured Party, and no Secured Party shall be responsible in any way
for the performance of the obligations of any other Secured Party under the Facility Documents. Each Secured Party shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants under the Facility Documents. The decision of each Secured Party to acquire the Securities pursuant to the Facility Documents has been made by such Secured Party independently of any other Secured Party and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that may have been made or given by any other Secured Party or by any agent, attorney, advisor, representative or employee of any other Secured Party, and no Secured Party or any of its agents, attorneys, advisors, representatives or employees shall have any liability to any other Secured Party (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained in the Facility Documents, and no action taken by any Secured Party pursuant hereto or thereto (including a Secured Partys acquisition of Obligations, Convertible Notes, Warrants or any other Securities at the same time as any other Secured Party), shall be deemed to constitute the Secured Parties as, and each of the Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Parties do not thereby constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Secured Parties are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such Obligations or the transactions contemplated by any of the Facility Documents, and none of the Loan Parties shall assert any contrary position.
Section 8.17 Required Disclosure. On December 6, 2016, a final judgment (the Judgment) was entered against Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (Stifel) by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (Civil Action No. 2:11-cv-00755) resolving a civil lawsuit filed by the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (the SEC) in 2011 involving violations of several antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with the sale of synthetic collateralized debt obligations to five Wisconsin school districts in 2006. As a result of the Judgment: (i) Stifel is required to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act; and (ii) Stifel and a former employee were jointly liable to pay disgorgement and prejudgment interest of $2.5 million. Stifel was also required to pay a civil penalty of $22.0 million, of which disgorgement and civil penalty Stifel was required to pay $12.5 million to the school districts involved in this matter. Simultaneously with the entry of the Judgment, the SEC issued an Order granting Stifel a waiver from, among other things, the application of the disqualification provisions of Rule 506(d)(1)(iv) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. A copy of the Judgment is available on the SECs website at: https://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2016/lr23700-final-judgment.pdf.

Section 8.22 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any Obligation.

Each of the Loan Parties further acknowledges and agrees that (a) one or more Secured Parties or holders of Securities may engage in hedging and/or trading activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, (b) such hedging and/or trading activities, if any, can reduce the value of the Common Stock or other capital stock held by the existing holders of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Borrower, both at and after the time the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted; (c) any such hedging and/or trading activities shall not constitute a breach of any Facility Document or affect any of the rights of any Secured Party or holder of Securities under any Facility Document; (d) the issuance of any Warrant Shares or any Conversion Shares may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions; and (e) the Obligations, including the Borrowers obligation to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants and the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim any Loan Party may have against any of the Secured Parties and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Borrower.
Section 8.26 No Fiduciary Relationship. Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees that (a) Agent and each Lender is acting at arms length from the Loan Parties with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (b) neither Agent nor any Lender will, by virtue of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, be (nor, to the Loan Parties knowledge, otherwise is) an Affiliate of, or have any agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship with, any Loan Party; (c) neither Agent nor any Lender has acted, or is or will be acting, as a financial advisor to, or fiduciary (or in any similar capacity) of, or has any fiduciary or similar duty to, any Loan Party with respect to, or in connection with, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and each of the Loan Parties agreed not to assert, and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under any Applicable Laws, any claim that any of Agent or any Lender has any fiduciary duty to such Loan Party; (d) any advice given by Agent, any Lender or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to Agent or such Lenders performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder (including, in the case of each of the Lenders, its acquisition of the Securities); and (e) the Loan Parties decision to enter into the Loan Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Loan Parties and their representatives.

79
no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including, without limitation, waiver of any defense based on discharge for value or any similar theory or doctrine. A notice of the Agent to any Lender under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Agent, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by notice of payment, or (z) that such Lender otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each case, if an error has been made each such Lender is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of receipt of such Erroneous Payment, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on discharge for value or any similar theory or doctrine. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
(c) The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason (and without limiting the Agents rights and remedies under this Section 8.27), the Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party.
(d) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Agent provided by law, Agent shall have the right, without prior notice to any Lender, any such notice being expressly waived by such Lender to the extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to any Erroneous Payment for which a demand has been made in accordance with this Section 8.27 and which has not been returned to the Agent, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Agent or any of its Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Lender. Agent agrees promptly to notify the Lender after any such setoff and application made by Agent; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

The Lender holds a Convertible Note (as defined in the Existing Facility Agreement) issued by the Borrower to the Lender on March 11, 2020 in the initial principal amount of $60,000,000 (as the same previously has been amended, modified, restated or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the Note). As of the date hereof, the outstanding principal amount of the Note is $60,000,000.
C. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower and the Lender desire to amend and restate the Existing Facility Agreement as set forth in Exhibit A (as so amended and restated, and as the same may be further amended, modified, restated or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the Facility Agreement).
D. The Borrower and the Lender are entering into this Agreement to provide for the exchange, in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and otherwise upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, of $10,000,000 principal amount of the Note (the Exchanged Principal Amount) for shares of Common Stock and a pre-funded warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a Pre-Funded Warrant).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
ARTICLE I.
EXCHANGE
Section 1.01. Exchange. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, effective as of the Effective Date (as defined below), the Lender and the Borrower hereby agree to exchange the Exchanged Principal Amount of the Note for the issuance and delivery by the Borrower to the Lender of (i) 2,967,742 shares of Common Stock (the Exchange Shares) and (ii) a Pre-Funded
Warrant to purchase 10,543,946 shares of Common Stock (the Exchange Warrant). The exchange contemplated by this Section 1.01 is referred to herein as the Exchange.
Section 1.02. Exchange Settlement.
(a) Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of all of the conditions to the Exchange set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02, the Exchange shall be consummated and become effective upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the time of such effectiveness, the Effective Time).
(b) Upon the Effective Time, the Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Lender (i) the Exchange Shares by causing the Companys designated transfer agent to electronically transmit the Exchange Shares to the Lender by crediting the account of the Lenders prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system as specified in instructions provided by the Lender prior to the Closing and (ii) the Exchange Warrant, duly executed on behalf of the Borrower.

(d) In accordance with the Facility Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender in replacement of the Note an Original Loan Convertible Note in a principal amount that gives effect to the Exchange. As promptly as possible thereafter (and provided that the Lender shall have received the Exchange Shares, the Exchange Warrant and payment to the Lender of the Cash Interest as provided in Section 1.03) the Lender shall deliver the Note for cancellation.

Section 6.07. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any person (other than the parties to this Agreement) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 6.08. Remedies; Specific Performance. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under the Facility Agreement, the Note, the Exchange Warrant, the RRA, the other Transaction Documents and/or otherwise at law or in equity. No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy, and nothing herein shall limit the Lenders right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Borrower to comply with the terms of this Agreement, the Facility Agreement, the Exchange Warrant, the RRA, the Note and the other Transaction Documents. The parties to this Agreement agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties to this Agreement would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Facility Agreement, the Exchange Warrant, the RRA or any other Transaction Document were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each of the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, the Facility Agreement, the Exchange Warrant, the RRA or any other Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Facility Agreement, the Exchange Warrant, the RRA and the other Transaction Documents in each case without the necessity of posting bond or other security or showing actual damages, and this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity.
Section 6.09. Effect of Headings. The section and subsection headings herein are for convenience only and not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the interpretation thereof.
Section 6.10. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
Section 6.11. Reservation of Rights. The Lender has not hereby waived any of the Lenders rights or remedies arising from any breach or default or any right otherwise available under the Facility Agreement, any other Transaction Document or at law or in equity as to the Note. The Lender expressly reserves all such rights and remedies.
Section 6.12. Further Assurances. The parties hereby agree, from time to time, as and when reasonably requested by any other party hereto, to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and agreements, including secretarys
15
certificates, stock powers and irrevocable transfer agent instructions, and to take or cause to be taken such further or other action, as any party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower shall (a) use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in an expeditious manner, the transactions contemplated hereby, including by using its reasonable best efforts to satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.02, and (b) shall not, through or pursuant to any voluntary action, 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 carry out of all the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 6.13. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.
Section 6.14. Interpretative Matters. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, (a) all references to Sections, Schedules, Appendices or Exhibits are to Sections, Schedules, Appendices or Exhibits contained in or attached to this Agreement, (b) words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, (c) the words hereof, herein and words of similar effect shall reference this Agreement in its entirety, and (d) the use of the word including in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than limitation. Unless otherwise indicated, references to Transaction Documents in this Agreement refer to Transaction Documents, each as amended as of the Effective Date, including as provided by this Agreement.
Section 6.15. Payment Set Aside. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any payment or transfer (or any portion thereof) to the Lender shall be subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or a fraudulent conveyance or preferential, avoided, rescinded, set aside or otherwise required to be return or repaid, whether in bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceedings involving the Borrower or otherwise, then the Obligations purportedly satisfied with such payment or transfer, to the extent that such payment is or must be invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or a fraudulent conveyance or preferential, avoided, rescinded, set aside or otherwise required to be return or repaid, shall immediately be reinstated, without need for any action by any Person, and shall be enforceable against the Borrower, any guarantor and their successors and permitted assigns as if such payment had never been made (in which case this Agreement shall in no way impair the claims of the Lender with respect to such payment or transfer). The provisions of this Section 6.15 shall survive the satisfaction in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Facility Agreement.
Section 6.16. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Lender is acting at arms length from the Borrower with respect to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (b) the Lender will not, solely by virtue of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, become an Affiliate of, or have any agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship with, the Borrower; (c) the Lender has not acted, and is not and will not be
16
acting, as a financial advisor to, or fiduciary (or in any similar capacity) of, or has any fiduciary or similar duty to, the Borrower with respect to, or in connection with, this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and the Borrower agrees not to assert, and hereby waives, any claim that the Lender has any fiduciary duty to the Borrower; (d) any advice given by the Lender or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to the Lenders performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder; and (e) the Borrowers decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Borrower and their representatives.

C. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Facility Agreement, Deerfield Partners and the Company are entering into the Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which the Company is issuing to Deerfield Partners shares of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) in exchange for $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Original Loan Convertible Notes; and
D. To induce the Lenders to execute and deliver the Facility Agreement and the Exchange Agreement, the Company has agreed to amend and restated the Existing Registration Rights Agreement as set forth herein.

2. REGISTRATION.
a. MANDATORY REGISTRATION. (i) Following the Issuance Date, the Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable and in any event on or prior to the applicable Filing Deadline, file with the SEC a Registration Statement (the Mandatory Registration Statement) on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not then available, on such form of Registration Statement as is
then available to effect a Registration of the Registrable Securities, subject to the consent of the Investors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities, which Registration Statement, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), shall state that such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable pursuant to the Convertible Notes, the Warrants, the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends, stock issuances or similar transactions. The number of shares of Common Stock initially included in such Registration Statement shall be no less than 68,580,865 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for any Stock Event. Each Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided to (and shall be subject to the approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, of) the Investors and their counsel prior to its filing or other submission.
(ii) If for any reason, despite the Companys use of its reasonable best efforts to include all of the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 (a)(i) above (and subject to Section 3(q) below), the SEC does not permit all of the Registrable Securities to be included in, or for any other reason any Registrable Securities are not then included in, such Registration Statement, then the Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Additional Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an additional Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities not already covered by an existing and effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415.
(iii) Subject to any SEC comments, any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall include a plan of distribution approved by the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement. No Investor shall be named as an underwriter in the Registration Statement without the Investors prior written consent; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if despite the Companys compliance with Section3(p), the SEC or the Securities Act requires such Investor(s) to be named as an underwriter in the Registration Statement and such Investor(s) withhold written consent to be so named, the Companys failure to fulfill its obligations under this Section2(a) as a result thereof shall not constitute a violation of this Agreement.
(iv) Unless the SEC does not so permit or otherwise directed by the Investors, each Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall include a combined prospectus for the resale of the Registrable Securities registered by such Registration Statement, the Existing Registration Statement and any other Registration Statement previously filed hereunder, and shall be deemed a post-effective amendment to the Existing Registration Statement or, other previously filed Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 429 under the Securities Act.
(v) The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the shares of Common Stock covered by the Existing Registration Statement consist of Conversion Shares that continue to be issuable upon conversion of the Original Loan Convertible Notes, as amended as of the date hereof, that remain outstanding after the date hereof (such shares, collectively, the Previously Registered Shares). Without limiting any of the Companys obligations hereunder or under the Existing
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to take such actions as shall be necessary (including filing a supplement to the prospectus included in the Existing Registration Statement within two Business days after the date hereof to reflect the amendments to the Notes upon conversion which the Previously Registered Shares are issuable) to keep the Existing Registration Statement continuously effective and available for the resale of all of the Previously Registered Shares in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
b. PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATIONS. If at any time prior to the expiration of the Registration Period (as hereinafter defined) the Company shall determine (i) to file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to an offering for its own account or for the account of any other holder of its equity securities (other than securities being registered on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans), and/or (ii) otherwise to effect an underwritten offering of any securities of the Company of a type included in a then effective Registration Statement, the Company shall send to each Investor written notice of such determination, and if within fifteen (15) days after the effective date of such notice the Investor shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement and/or include in such underwritten offering, as applicable, all or any part of such Investors Registrable Securities that the Investor requests to be registered and/or included in the underwritten offering, as applicable, except that if in connection with any underwritten offering for the account of the Company, the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities which may be included in such offering because, in such underwriter(s) reasonable judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such underwritten offering only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which the Investor has requested inclusion hereunder as the underwriter(s) shall permit;
provided, however, that the Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities to be sold for the accounts of any holders of the Companys equity securities which are not entitled by contract to inclusion of such securities in an underwritten offering or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and
provided, further, however, that, after giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of other securities having the contractual right to include such securities in such underwritten offering other than holders of securities entitled to inclusion of their securities in such underwritten offering by reason of demand registration rights. No right to registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2(b) shall be construed to limit any Registration required under Section 2(a) hereof. If an Investors Registrable Securities are included in an underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 2(b), then such Investor shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, offer and sell such Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering using the same underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such underwritten offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the rights of the Investors pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall only be available in the case of an underwritten offering or in the event the Company fails to timely file,
obtain effectiveness or maintain effectiveness of any Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Each Investor acknowledges and agrees that, in the event the Company would be required by the terms of this Section 2 to provide notice to such Investor of the filing of any Registration Statement in which any Registrable Securities of any Investor are eligible to be included, the Company shall provide such notice only to counsel to such Investor (which shall be Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP (Attn: Mark D. Wood and Jonathan D. Weiner) or such other counsel as shall have been designated by such Investor), unless such Investor has given prior written instructions to the contrary to the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit, or be deemed a waiver of, the obligations of the Company under Section 5.18 of the Facility Agreement.
3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. In connection with any registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall have the following obligations:
a. The Company shall prepare promptly, and file with the SEC as soon as practicable after such registration obligation arises hereunder (but in no event later than the applicable Filing Deadline), a Registration Statement with respect to the number of Registrable Securities provided in Section 2(a), as applicable, and thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities to become effective as soon as possible after such filing, but in any event shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities to become effective no later than the Registration Deadline, and shall thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement current and effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times after its effective date until such date as is the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statement or Rule 144 and (ii) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in the opinion of counsel to the Investors) may be immediately sold to the public without registration or restriction (including without limitation as to volume by each holder thereof), and without compliance with any current public information requirement, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, assuming, in the case of the Warrants, the exercise thereof for cash (the Registration Period), which Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein), except for information provided in writing by an Investor pursuant to Section 4(a), shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the Registration of the resale of any Registrable Securities hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without in any way affecting the Companys obligation to register the resale of the Registrable Securities on such other form as is available, as provided in Section 2(a)), (i) the Company shall undertake to file, within twenty (20) days of such time as such form is available for such Registration, a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement then in effect, or otherwise file a Registration Statement on Form S-3, registering such Registrable Securities on Form S-3; provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement (or post-effective amendment) on Form S-3 covering such Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC, and (ii) the Company shall provide that any Registration Statement on
Form S-1 filed hereunder shall incorporate documents by reference (including by way of forward incorporation by reference) to the maximum extent possible. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Existing Registration Statement to remain current and continuously effective for the resale of the Registrable Securities covered thereby until such time as such Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2(a) following the date hereof.
b. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep each Registration Statement current and effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during the Registration Period, shall comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by each Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the event that on any Trading Day (as defined below) (the Registration Trigger Date) the number of shares available under the Registration Statements filed pursuant to this Agreement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, including all of the Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon exercise or conversion of, or otherwise pursuant to or in respect of, the Convertible Notes and the Warrants (including any additional shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any anti-dilution provisions contained in the Convertible Notes or the Warrants), without giving effect to any limitations on the Investors ability to convert the Convertible Notes or exercise the Warrants (and assuming the exercise thereof for cash), the Company shall amend the Registration Statements, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover the total number of Registrable Securities so issued or issuable (without giving effect to any limitations on exercise contained in the Convertible Notes or Warrants) as of the Registration Trigger Date as soon as practicable, but in any event within twenty (20) days after the Registration Trigger Date. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof, but in any event the Company shall cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective within sixty (60) days of the Registration Trigger Date or as promptly as practicable in the event the Company is required to increase its authorized shares. Trading Day shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded for any period on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (the NasdaqGS), or if not the NasdaqGS, the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.
c. The Company shall furnish to each Investor and its legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC or received by the Company, one copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and, in the case of a Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(a), each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has obtained confidential treatment, which contains information for which the Company has redacted in compliance with Regulation S-K
Item 601(b)(10), which contains or reflects any material non-public information with respect to the Company or its securities or which relates to Company matters that are in the reasonable judgment of the Company not relevant to the Investors interests with respect to the Registrable Securities), and (ii) such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as an Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor; provided that the Company may determine in its reasonable judgment to provide any such copies in electronic form only. The Company will promptly notify each of the Investors by electronic mail of the effectiveness of each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment. The Company will promptly respond to any and all comments received from the SEC as soon as practicable and, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than three (3) business days, following the resolution or clearance of all SEC comments or, if applicable, following notification by the SEC that any such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto will not be subject to review, shall file a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement (to the extent required for such Registration Statement or amendment to become effective, by declaration or ordering of effectiveness, of such Registration Statement or amendment by the SEC) to a time and date not later than two (2) business days after the submission of such request. No later than the first business day after such Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company will file with the SEC the final prospectus included therein pursuant to Rule 424 (or successor thereto) under the Securities Act.
d. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify, in any jurisdiction where registration and/or qualification is required, the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statements under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investors shall reasonably request, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be reasonably necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the Company shall notify each Investor that holds Registrable Securities of the happening of any event, of which the Company has knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included in any Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to any Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number of copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably request.
f. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any Registration Statement, and, if such an order is issued,
to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible moment and to notify each Investor that holds Registrable Securities (and, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof.
g. The Company shall permit a single firm of counsel designated by the Investors (Legal Counsel) (which shall be Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP (Attn: Mark D. Wood and Jonathan D. Weiner unless the Lender otherwise determines) to review such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (as well as all requests for acceleration or effectiveness thereof), a reasonable period of time prior to their filing with the SEC (not less than five (5) business days but not more than eight (8) business days) and not file any documents in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects and will not request acceleration of such Registration Statement without prior notice to Legal Counsel.
h. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning any Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to such Investor prior to making such disclosure, and allow such Investor, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
i. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause all the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, and, to arrange for at least two market makers to register with FINRA as such with respect to such Registrable Securities.
j. The Company shall provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the initial Registration Statement.
k. The Company shall cooperate with each Investor that holds Registrable Securities being offered and the managing underwriter or underwriters with respect to an applicable Registration Statement, if any, to facilitate the timely (i) preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to such Registration Statement, and enable such certificates to be registered in such names and in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, or (ii) crediting of the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement to the applicable account (or accounts) with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system, in any such case as such Investor or the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, may reasonably request. Within three (3) business days after a Registration Statement which includes Registrable Securities becomes effective, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities
(with copies to each Investor) an appropriate instruction and an opinion of such counsel in the form required by the transfer agent in order to issue the Registrable Securities free of restrictive legends.
l. At the reasonable request of an Investor, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and any prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to change the plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement.
m. The Company shall not, and shall not agree to, allow the holders of any securities of the Company to include any of their securities (other than Registrable Securities) in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or any amendment or supplement thereto under Section 3(b) hereof without the consent of Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. In addition, the Company shall not include any securities for its own account or the account of others in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or any amendment or supplement thereto filed pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof without the consent of Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.
n. Reserved.
o. The Company shall comply with all applicable laws related to a Registration Statement and offering and sale of securities and all applicable rules and regulations of governmental authorities in connection therewith (including the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC).
p. If required by the FINRA Corporate Financing Department, the Company shall promptly effect a filing with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 (or successor thereto) with respect to the public offering contemplated by resales of securities under the Registration Statement (an Issuer Filing), and pay the filing fee required by such Issuer Filing. The Company shall use its best efforts to pursue the Issuer Filing until FINRA issues a letter confirming that it does not object to the terms of the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement.
q. If at any time the SEC advises the Company in writing that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by a Registration Statement is a bona fide secondary offering and not an offering by or on behalf of the issuer as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Investors is an underwriter. The Investors shall have the right to participate or have their respective counsel participate in any meetings or discussions with the SEC regarding the SECs position and to comment or have their respective counsel comment on any written submission made to the SEC with respect thereto. No such written submission shall be made to the SEC to which any Investors counsel reasonably objects. In the event that, despite the Companys reasonable best efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 3(q), the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities as the SEC requires in writing be removed therefrom. Any such cut-back imposed by the SEC as contemplated by this Section 3(q) shall be imposed on
a pro rata basis (based upon the Registrable Securities held by each of the Investors), to such portion of the Registrable Securities as the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities shall specify, unless otherwise required by the SEC.
r. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3(e), at any time after the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company and its counsel, in the best interest of the Company and is not, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a Grace Period); provided, that the Company shall (i) promptly notify the Investors in writing of the existence of material non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company shall not disclose the content of such material non-public information to any Investor unless otherwise requested in writing by such Investor) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) as soon as such date may be determined, promptly notify the Investors in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided, further, that (A) no Grace Period shall exceed forty five (45) consecutive days, (B) during any three hundred sixty five (365) day period, such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of seventy five (75) days, and (C) the first day of any Grace Period must be at least ten (10) business days after the last day of any prior Grace Period (each Grace Period that satisfies all of the requirements of this Section 3(r) being referred to as an Allowable Grace Period). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 3(e) hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period, damages shall not accrue on any day during an Allowable Grace Period, and the unavailability of a Registration Statement for resales of the Registrable Securities on any day during an Allowable Grace Period shall not constitute a Registration Failure (as defined in the Convertible Notes) or an Event of Default (as defined in the Warrants). Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(e) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material non-public information is no longer applicable.
4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR. In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, each Investor shall have the following obligations:
a. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of an Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least five (5) business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor of the information the Company requires from such Investor. Any such information shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. An Investor must provide such information to the Company at
least two (2) business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement if such Investor elects to have any Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.
b. Each Investor, by such Investors acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investors election to exclude all of the Investors Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
c. In the event of an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(b) in which any Registrable Securities of any Investor are to be included, such Investor agrees to enter into and perform the Investors obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including customary indemnification and contribution obligations (as applicable to selling security holders generally), with the managing underwriter of such offering and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Investor Registrable Securities; provided, however, that no Investor included in any underwritten offering (under any section hereof) shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters other than representations and warranties regarding such Investor, such Investors ownership of its Registrable Securities to be sold in the offering, such Investors authority to enter into the underwriting agreement and such Investors intended method of distribution, or to undertake any indemnification or contribution obligations to the Company or the underwriters or other investment banks with respect thereto, except as provided in Section 7.
d. Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Investors receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or 3(f); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit, or require the Investor to discontinue the settlement of, any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investors receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f).
5. REGISTRATION FAILURE. In the event of a Registration Failure (as defined in the Convertible Notes) or an Event of Default (as defined in the Warrants), the Investors shall be entitled to damages and such other rights as set forth in the Convertible Notes and Warrants and, subject to any applicable cure periods, all payments and remedies provided under the Facility Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (within the meaning of the Facility Agreement) and an Event of Default (within the meaning of the Warrants).
6. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall also reimburse the Investors for the reasonable fees and disbursements of Legal Counsel in the aggregate amount up to $25,000 per registration in connection with each registration pursuant to Section 2 or 3 of this Agreement.
7. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:
a. The Company will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) each Investor, (ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees, agents of each Investor, and each Person who controls any Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, if any, (iii) any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each Investor in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, and (iv) the directors, officers, partners, employees and each Person who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, if any (each, an Indemnified Person), against any joint or several losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively, together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof, Claims) to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in any Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any filing made under state securities laws as required hereby, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, Violations). The Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees and other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 7(a) shall not apply to a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation to the extent that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or (B) to any amounts paid in settlement of any Claim effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by any of the Investors pursuant to Section 10.
b. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section 7, deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnified Person, as the case may be;
provided, however, that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the Company, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for such Indemnified Person, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and the Company would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Company shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons, and such legal counsel shall be selected by the Investors. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 7, except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced by such failure in its ability to defend such action, and shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnified Person otherwise than pursuant to this Section 7. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Persons, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be or has been sought hereunder (whether or not any such Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Persons of a full release from all liability with respect to such Claim or which includes any admission as to fault, culpability or failure to act on the part of any Indemnified Person. The indemnification required by this Section 7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as any expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.
c. Each Investor will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) the Company, and (ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees, or agents of the Company, if any (each, a Company Indemnified Person), against any Claims to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities, which occurs due to the inclusion by the Company in a Registration Statement of false or misleading information about an Investor, where such information was furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for the purpose of inclusion in such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(c) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided, further, however, that an Investor shall be liable under this Section 7(c) for only that amount of a Claim as does not exceed the net amount of proceeds received by such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
d. Promptly after receipt by a Company Indemnified Person under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Company Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Investor under this Section 7, deliver to such Investor a written notice of the commencement thereof, and such Investor shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent such Investor so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to such Investor and such Company Indemnified Person.
8. CONTRIBUTION. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 7(a) or 7(c) (as applicable) is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or Company Indemnified Person (as applicable) or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Person or Company Indemnified Person (as applicable) as a result of the Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Person or Company Indemnified Person (as applicable) and the indemnifying party (provided that the relative fault of any Company Indemnified Person shall be deemed to include the fault of all other Company Indemnified Persons), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of an Investor be greater in amount than the net amount of proceeds received by such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement (net of the aggregate amount of any damages or other amounts such Investor has otherwise been required to pay (pursuant to Section 7(c) or otherwise) by reason of such Investors untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission).
9. REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT. With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees to:
a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
b. file with the SEC in a timely manner (without giving effect to any extensions pursuant to Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act) all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
c. so long as any of the Investors owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, furnish to such Investor (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act as required for applicable provisions of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit such Investor to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
10. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by each Investor to any transferee of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities if: (i) such Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and (iii) at or before the time the Company receives the written
notice contemplated in clause (ii) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein as applicable to the Investors. In the event that the Company receives written notice from an Investor that it has transferred all or any portion of its Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section, the Company shall have up to ten (10) days to file any amendments or supplements necessary to keep a Registration Statement current and effective pursuant to Rule 415, and the commencement date of any Registration Failure (as defined in the Convertible Notes) or Event of Default (as defined in the Convertible Notes) under the Convertible Notes caused thereby will be extended by ten (10) days. Each Investor shall at all times comply with the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 13 of the Convertible Notes (to the extent applicable to such Investor), which provisions are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof.
11. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with written consent of the Company and the holders of a majority in interest of then-outstanding Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 11 shall be binding upon each of the Investors and the Company.
12. MISCELLANEOUS.
a. A Person is deemed to hold, and be a holder of, shares of Common Stock or other Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns of record or beneficially through a street name holder such shares of Common Stock or other Registrable Securities (or the Convertible Notes, Warrants or other securities upon exercise, conversion or exchange of which such Registrable Securities are directly or indirectly issuable, without giving effect to any limitations on exercise, conversion or exchange of the Convertible Notes, Warrants or other securities), and solely for purposes hereof, Registrable Securities shall be deemed outstanding to the extent they are directly or indirectly issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of the Convertible Notes, Warrants or other outstanding securities, without giving effect to any limits on exercise, conversion or exchange of the Convertible Notes, Warrants or other securities and, in the case of the Warrants, assuming the exercise thereof for cash. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities (or the Convertible Notes, Warrants or other securities upon exercise, conversion or exchange of which such Registrable Securities are directly or indirectly issuable).
b. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) or delivered personally or by courier (including a recognized overnight delivery service) or by electronic mail and shall be effective five days after being placed in the mail, if mailed by regular United States mail, or upon receipt, if delivered personally or by courier (including a recognized overnight delivery service) or by electronic mail, in each case addressed to a party.

Anticipates total third quarter net sales of $21.5-$22.5 million, up 10-15% compared to the prior year period
Restructured balance sheet with senior secured convertible debt with Deerfield Management
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., October 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Sientra, Inc. (NASDAQ: SIEN) (Sientra or the Company), a medical aesthetics company focused on enhancing lives by advancing the art of plastic surgery, today announced preliminary unaudited financial results for the third quarter 2022. The Company also announced that it had entered a new financing arrangement with a fund managed by Deerfield Management to restructure the Companys balance sheet.
Ron Menezes, Sientras President, and Chief Executive Officer said We are extremely proud of our teams execution during the quarter, which is potentially the largest breast products quarter in company history. Our growth was driven by robust reconstruction demand and continued market share gains in augmentation. We look forward to continuing this momentum into 2023 and beyond as we prepare to launch our new fat transfer product and ground-breaking Allox2® PRO tissue expander.
We are also delighted to have reached an agreement with Deerfield Management that improves the Companys balance sheet. We believe that Deerfields continued investment in the Company represents a vote of confidence in our strategy and execution. We now have enhanced financial flexibility and cash runway to drive the Companys continued growth and market expansion, concluded Mr. Menezes.
Third Quarter 2022 Preliminary Financial Results
The quarterly financial estimates included in this release are prior to the completion of managements review and audit procedures by Sientras external auditors and are therefore subject to adjustment.
Sientra anticipates total net sales for the third quarter of 2022 to be approximately $21.5-$22.5 million, an increase of approximately 10-15%, compared to the same period last year. The Company is also reiterating prior full year 2022 revenue guidance of $90-95 million.
Sientra anticipates net cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter of 2022 to be approximately $19 million. Sientra also anticipates cash flow from operating activities plus capital expenditures (free cash flow) to be between negative $3 to $4 million in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to negative $15.4 million in the same period last year.
Debt Refinancing
On October 12, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with a fund managed by Deerfield Management to refinance the Companys existing term loan and convertible note debt. As a result of the financing, the Company has reduced its total debt load by approximately $10 million, to $73 million, while extending its maturity dates to March 2026 and beyond. Proceeds from the financing are to be used to retire the Companys existing $21 million senior secured term loan facility in full, and related financing expenses.
Under the terms of the financing, Sientra entered into a new senior secured convertible note of $23 million, with a conversion price of $1.00, representing a 35% premium over the Companys closing stock price on October 11, 2022. The new note will accrue interest at SOFR + 5.75% per annum and has a 5-year maturity until October 2027. The Company also amended its existing convertible note to make it senior secured debt, reduce the principal outstanding by $10 million to $50 million through a concurrent at-the-market equity exchange with Deerfield, and extend the maturity date by 12 months to March 2026. The conversion price on the existing note was also reset to $2.75, representing an 272% premium over the Companys closing stock price on October 11, 2022. Interest on the existing note remains unchanged at 4% per annum. Please refer to the Companys current report on Form 8-K filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission for more information.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release references free cash flow, which is a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The Company defines free cash flow as net cash flow from operating activities continuing operations less purchases of property and equipment.
There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Investors and potential investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with Sientras financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures provided in the schedules below.
