Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Facility Agreement, Convertible Notes, Warrants

On August 9, 2022, The Oncology Institute, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Facility Agreement (the “Facility 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. (“Deerfield”), as agent for itself and the lenders, providing for the issuance and sale by the Company to Deerfield of $110 million of principal amount of 4.0% secured senior convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”) upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Facility Agreement (the “Deerfield Financing”). The Convertible Notes will be secured by (i) a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and (ii) a pledge by the Company of the equity interest of all its direct and indirect subsidiaries and will mature on August 9, 2027, unless earlier converted or redeemed, and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an initial conversion price of $8.567 per share, representing an approximately 30% premium over the Company’s closing stock price of $6.59 per share on August 8, 2022. The Convertible Notes were issued in a private placement to Deerfield pursuant to an exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Notes were approximately $107 million after deducting the estimated expenses payable by the Company. The Company plans to use the proceeds from the Convertible Notes for potential future acquisitions and general corporate purposes.

The Convertible Notes bear interest at 4.0% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears commencing on October 1, 2022 and on the first business day of each January, April, July and October thereafter. The Convertible Notes are convertible at any time at the option of the holders thereof; provided that Deerfield is prohibited from converting the Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock if, upon such conversion, the converting holder (together with certain affiliates and “group” members) would beneficially own more than 4.9% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “Beneficial Ownership Cap”). Holders of the Convertible Notes have the option to demand repayment of all outstanding principal, any unpaid interest accrued thereon, and make-whole interest in connection with a Major Transaction (as defined in the Convertible Notes), which includes, among other events, certain acquisitions or other changes of control of the Company; certain sales or transfers of assets 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 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 Facility Agreement contains certain specified events of default, the occurrence of which would entitle the holders of the Convertible Notes to immediately demand repayment of all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Convertible Notes, together with a make-whole payment as determined pursuant to the Facility Agreement. Such events of default include, among others, failure to make any payment under the Convertible Notes when due, failure to observe or perform any covenant under the Facility Agreement or the other transaction documents related thereto (subject in certain cases to specified cure periods), 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 judgment levied against the Company and a material default by the Company under other indebtedness.

The Facility Agreement also provides for the issuance of warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “Warrants”) to the extent that the obligations under Facility Agreement and the Convertible Notes are prepaid. If issued, the Warrants will be exercisable on a cash or cashless (net exercise) basis, 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. 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), 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 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in transactions not involving a public offering (or, in the case of the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to certain non-cash exercises of the Warrants, pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act as an exchange with existing security holders).




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 Company may not effect any optional redemption during a delisting event or unless all conversion shares and warrant shares are freely tradable. Based on the initial conversion price, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes or exercise of the Warrants is 12,839,967 shares, and up to an additional 7,619,073 shares are potentially issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes in connection with certain Major Transactions.

The Company is subject to a number of affirmative and restrictive covenants pursuant to the Facility 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. The Company is also restricted from paying dividends or making other distributions or payments on its capital stock, subject to limited exceptions.

The foregoing description of the Facility Agreement, Convertible Notes, Warrants and the Deerfield Financing does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Facility Agreement, the Form of Senior Convertible Note and the Form of Warrant, a copy of each of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Facility Agreement, on August 9, 2022, the Company and Deerfield entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form S-3, or such other form as required to effect a registration of the Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of or pursuant to the Convertible Notes or the Warrants (the “Registrable Securities”), covering the resale of the Registrable Securities and such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Convertible Notes to prevent dilution resulting from certain corporate actions. Such Registration Statement must be filed within 30 calendar days following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement. In the event the SEC does not permit all of the Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration Statement or if the Registrable Securities are not otherwise included in the Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to file 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 of the Securities Act as promptly as allowed by the SEC or the SEC Guidance provided to the Company. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides for piggy-back registration, subject to the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement.

In connection with the Company’s entry into the Registration Rights Agreement, Deerfield Private Design Fund IV, L.P., Deerfield Partners, L.P., M33 Growth I L.P., TOI M, LLC, and Oncology Care Partners, LLC, representing the majority holders of Registrable Shares (as defined in the Existing RRA (as defined below)) under Section 2(h) of the Existing RRA, entered into a Registration Rights Agreement Waiver, Amendment, and Consent (the “RRA Waiver”). The RRA Waiver refers to that certain Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of November 12, 2021, by and among the Company, DFP Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and each of the Persons listed on the Schedule of Investors therein and each of the other Persons set forth on the Schedule of Investors who, at any time, own securities of the Company and enter into a joinder to the agreement (the “Existing RRA”). The RRA Waiver provides written consent to permit the Company to enter into the Registration Rights Agreement, waives certain piggyback rights provided under the Existing RRA, and agrees to amend the Existing RRA to update a defined term.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement and the RRA Waiver and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement and the RRA Waiver, respectively, a copy of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3, (respectively) and incorporated herein by reference.

(a)Conversion at Option of the Holder.

Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of Section 2(m). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a Share upon any conversion.

(c)Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of this Note shall be conducted in the following manner:
(i)Holder’s Delivery Requirements. In order to convert Principal into Conversion Shares (including pursuant to a Major Transaction Conversion) on any date (the “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by email (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such date, a signed (which may be in electronic format) copy of a written conversion notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) to the offices of the Company at 18000 Studebaker Road, Suite 800, Cerritos, California 90703, E-mail: bradhively@theoncologyinstitute.com, Attn: Brad Hively, or such other address or email address as the Company may designate in writing and (B) if required by Section 2(c)(vi), surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Company, no later than three (3) Business Days after the Conversion Date, the original Note being converted (or an indemnification undertaking in customary form with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction).
(ii)Company’s Response. Upon receipt or deemed receipt by the Company of a duly completed Conversion Notice, including a Conversion Notice in respect of a Company Share Major Transaction, the Company (I) shall promptly send, via electronic mail, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice (which confirmation shall include the Company’s determination of the number of Excess Conversion Shares (if any) and any Cash Settlement Amount applicable to such Conversion Notice) to the Holder and the Company’s 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), or in the case of clause (B) of this paragraph, on or before the third (3rd) Trading Day, following the Conversion Date (as applicable the “Conversion Share Delivery Date”), (A) provided that the Holder or its designee is eligible to receive such Conversion Shares through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) (which shall include any time at which any of the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) is satisfied), cause the Transfer Agent to credit such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system; provided that a failure by the Transfer Agent to timely credit such Conversion Shares in accordance with this clause (A) to the extent it is caused
9



solely by a failure by a DWAC Acceptance Failure the Holder or its designee to accept such DWAC transmission shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 2(c)(ii) (a “DWAC Acceptance Failure”); provided, further, that the Company or the Transfer Agent shall notify the Holder as promptly as possible (and in any event within one Trading Day) after the Company or the Transfer Agent becomes aware of the fact that a DWAC Acceptance Failure has occurred, or (B) if the foregoing shall not apply (including, but only if directed by the Holder, as a result of a DWAC Acceptance Failure), issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a stock certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled. The Conversion Shares will not contain a legend (or be subject to stop transfer or similar instructions) restricting the resale or transferability thereof if any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met.
(iii)Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute between the Company and the Holder as to the determination of the Conversion Price (including for purposes of calculating any applicable Warrant Share Number), Market Price, Major Transaction Redemption Price, Successor Major Transaction Consideration, Major Transaction Company Shares, the Major Transaction Conversion Amount (including any determination as to Fair Market Value), the Optional Redemption Price, the Cash Settlement Amount or the arithmetic calculation of the Premium Amount, Conversion Rate or the Warrant Share Number applicable to any Warrant issuable upon the prepayment of this Note, the Company (i) shall issue, or instruct the Transfer Agent to issue, as applicable, to the Holder the number of Conversion 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 Holder’s Conversion Notice or other date of determination and (ii) shall not be entitled to deliver an Optional Redemption Notice, consummate an Optional Redemption or otherwise prepay this Note, in whole or in part, until such dispute shall have been resolved in accordance with the terms hereof. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Conversion Price, Market Price, Major Transaction Redemption Price, Successor Major Transaction Consideration, Major Transaction Company Shares, Major Transaction Conversion Amount, Optional Redemption Price, the Cash Settlement Amount or arithmetic calculation of the Premium Amount, Conversion Rate or applicable Warrant Share Number 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 Conversion Price (including for purposes of calculating any applicable Warrant Share Number), Market Price, Major Transaction Redemption Price, Successor Major Transaction Consideration, Major Transaction Conversion Amount, Optional Redemption Price or the Cash Settlement Amount, as applicable, to an independent, reputable investment banking firm selected by the Company and subject to the approval of the Required Note Holders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), or (B) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Premium Amount, Conversion Rate or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Share Number to an independent registered public accounting firm selected by the Company and, if not the Company’s auditors, subject to the approval of the Required Note 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 bank’s or accounting firm’s 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 2(c)(iii) unless such party notifies the other party of such dispute in writing no later than two (2) Business Days after
10



the other party notifies the Holder or the Company, as applicable, in writing of such determination.
(iv)Record Holder. The Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note (except to the extent such conversion is required to be settled in cash) shall be deemed to have been issued to the Person or Persons entitled to receive such Conversion Shares and such Person or Persons shall be treated for all purposes as the legal and record holder or holders of such Conversion Shares upon delivery to the Company by the Holder of the Conversion Notice.
(v)Company’s Failure to Timely Convert.
(A) Cash Damages. If by the third Trading Day following the Conversion Share Delivery Date or, in the case of a conversion of this Note in respect of Excess Conversion Shares, the date by which the Cash Settlement Amount is payable (the “Cash Damages Trigger Date”) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a Major Transaction Conversion effected in connection with a Company Share Major Transaction) the Company shall fail (i) to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder for, or, if as required by Section 2(c)(ii) hereof the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC with, the applicable number of Conversion Shares (in each case, free of any restrictive legend, provided that any Unrestricted Condition is satisfied and regardless of whether a Third Party Delivery Failure has occurred) or (ii) pay such Cash Settlement Amount, then, in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder, under the Facility Documents or otherwise at law or in equity, the Company shall pay as partial liquidated damages to the Holder, in cash, for each 30 day period after such Cash Damages Trigger Date such conversion is not effected in an amount equal to (prorated for any partial period) two percent (2.0%) of (y) in the case of a failure to timely deliver Conversion Shares, the product of (I) the number of Conversion 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 on or prior to the Cash Damages Trigger Date and to which the Holder is entitled and (II) the Volume Weighted Average Price of a share of Common Stock on the Conversion Share Delivery Date or (z) in the case of a failure to timely pay a Cash Settlement Amount, such Cash Settlement Amount. Alternatively, in lieu of the foregoing damages, but in addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Holder under this Note or any other Facility Document or otherwise at law or in equity, at the written election of the Holder made in the Holder’s sole discretion, if, on or after the applicable Conversion Date, 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 Conversion Shares that such Holder was entitled to receive upon such conversion (such purchased shares, “Buy-In Shares”), the Company shall (I) be obligated to promptly pay to the Holder, in cash, (in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may otherwise have), 100% of the amount by which (A) the Holder’s 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 Conversion Shares such Holder was entitled to receive but had not received on the Conversion Share Delivery Date (regardless of whether a Third Party Delivery Failure has occurred) 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 (in each case, regardless of whether a Third Party Delivery Failure has occurred). Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
11



(B)Void Conversion Notice. If for any reason the Holder has not received all of the Conversion Shares (free of any restrictive legend, provided that any Unrestricted Condition is satisfied) prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Conversion Share Delivery Date with respect to a conversion of this Note in accordance with Section 2(c)(ii) 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 by facsimile or electronic mail (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 Holder’s 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 Holder’s Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such Void Conversion Notice pursuant to Section 2(c)(v)(A).
(C)Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or in the Facility Agreement, neither a Conversion Failure nor a Legend Removal Failure shall constitute an Event of Default under the Facility Agreement to the extent such Conversion Failure or Legend Removal Failure, as applicable, results solely from a Third Party Delivery Failure.
(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)Legends.
(vii)Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands that, except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii), the Conversion Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities):
“THE OFFER AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS NOTE AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS NOTE AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HEREOF MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER
12



THE SECURITIES ACT, INCLUDING 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” SALE. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN, FINANCING OR INDEBTEDNESS ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”
(viii)Removal of Restrictive Legend. This Note and the certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares, as applicable, shall not contain or be subject to (and the Holder shall be entitled to removal of) any legend (or stop transfer or similar instruction) restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in subsection 2(d)(i)): (A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the sale or resale of such security by the holder thereof 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 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) 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 Holder’s 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, or (E) if such legend is otherwise not 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 set forth in a legal opinion delivered by Outside Counsel to the Holder (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be deemed to have certified that it is not a Rule 144 Affiliate of the Company upon each delivery of a Conversion Notice unless the Holder otherwise advises the Company in writing, and, accordingly, upon delivery of a Conversion Notice at any time on or after February 9, 2023, the Company acknowledges and agrees that an Unrestricted Condition shall have been met and the Conversion Shares issued in respect of such Conversion Notice shall be issued free of all legends and stop transfer instructions, unless the Holder shall have advised the Company in writing that it is then a Rule 144 Affiliate of the Company or has been a Rule 144 Affiliate of the Company during the three-month period preceding the date of such Conversion Notice. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent, or shall have made arrangements with the Holder reasonably acceptable to the Holder in respect of the delivery by Outside Counsel to the Holder of a legal opinion and taken such actions as shall be necessary to ensure that the Transfer Agent will rely on such opinion, in any case, promptly after the Effective Date (as defined below), or at such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions has been satisfied, if required by the Company’s 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 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 legends. The Company agrees that if any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met after the issuance of any Conversion Shares or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(d), it will, no later than two (2) Trading Days (or, if less, the number of days comprising the Standard Settlement Period) following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of this Note or a certificate representing Conversion Shares issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder or its designee this Note and/or a certificate (or electronic
13



transfer) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends (or similar notations). For purposes hereof, “Effective Date” shall mean the date that the first Registration Statement covering the Conversion Shares that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement has been declared effective by the SEC.
(e)    Sale of Unlegended Shares. The Holder covenants that it will not sell or otherwise transfer any Notes or Conversion 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.
(f)    Share 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 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, or (C) consolidate or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, 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 at the Conversion Price shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of the Company’s Capital Stock which, if this Note had been converted immediately prior to such date at the Conversion Price, 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. The Company shall give the Holder the same notice it provides to holders of Common Stock of any transaction described in this Section 2(e).
(g)    Certain Repurchases of Common Stock. In case the Company effects a Pro Rata Repurchase of shares of Common Stock and the value (determined as of the time (the “Expiration Time”) such Pro Rata Repurchase expires by the Company in good faith) of the cash and other consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Pro Rata Repurchase exceeds the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such Pro Rata Repurchase (such Closing Price, the “Pro Rata Repurchase Closing Price”), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase (including the shares to be repurchased or exchanged in the Pro Rata Repurchase) and (y) the Pro Rata Repurchase Closing Price, minus (ii) the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Company in good faith) paid or payable for shares purchased in such Pro Rata Repurchase, and of which the denominator shall be the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase, excluding the shares to be repurchased or exchanged in the Pro Rata Repurchase and (y) the Pro Rata Repurchase Closing Price.
(h)    Other Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of Section 2(f), 2(g), 3(e) or 6 or any other provision hereof that provides for an adjustment of Conversion Price, or the number and class of shares of capital stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, but not expressly provided for by any such provision occurs, then the Company shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price and/or number and class of shares of capital stock issuable upon conversion of this Note in a manner consistent with such
14



provisions; provided, that (A) no such adjustment shall increase the Conversion Price except as otherwise determined pursuant to the express provisions of Sections 2(f); and (B) no such adjustment will be required for any of the following events: (i) any Organic Change (as to which, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth in Section 3 will apply); (ii) any dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (as to which, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth in Section 6 will apply); (iii) any Pro Rata Repurchase (as to which, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth in Section 2(g) will apply); (iv) any event of the type described in clause (A), (B) or (C) of Section 2(f) (as to which, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth in Section 2(f) will apply); and (v) any Major Transaction (as to which, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth in Section 3 will apply).
(i)    Beneficial Ownership Cap. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not issue to the Holder, and the Holder may not acquire, a number of Conversion Shares upon any conversion of this Note or otherwise acquire any Shares pursuant hereto or the Facility Agreement to the extent that, upon such conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s 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 hereinafter) would exceed 4.9% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “4.9% Cap”); provided that the 4.9% Cap shall not apply to the extent that the Common Stock is not deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) 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 shares of Common Stock as set forth in the Company’s 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 shares of Common Stock 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 conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, any warrants (including the Warrants) and any Series A Common Stock Equivalent Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company, 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 orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Each delivery of a Conversion Notice 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 Conversion Shares requested in such Conversion Notice is permitted under this paragraph.
(j)    HSR Submissions. If the Holder determines that the conversion of this Note 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) file its respective notification under the HSR Act within five (5) Business Days of the Holder informing the Company of its determination that a notification is required in connection with such exercise; (ii) cooperate with the other party in the other party’s preparing and making such submission and any responses to inquiries of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and/or Department of Justice (“DOJ”); and (iii) 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 Holder agrees to consult with the Company in good faith in connection with any such determination. The Company shall pay, or reimburse the Holder for, the costs of any required filing fees for any submissions under the HSR Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, 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 the applicable Conversion Shares until the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act.
(k)    Taxes. In the event the Company previously remitted any amounts to a governmental authority on account of Taxes (other than Taxes indemnified under Section 2.4 of the Facility Agreement) required to be deducted or withheld in respect of any deemed distribution under Section 305 of the Code to a Holder that is not a U.S. Person as defined in the Code (a “non-U.S. Holder”) with respect to a Note or upon the conversion thereof, the Company or its paying agent shall be entitled to offset any such amounts against any amounts or value otherwise payable or deliverable to such Holder in respect of such Note. The Company shall notify the applicable non-U.S. Holder of its intention to make any such withholding or deduction reasonably in advance of doing so, and shall reasonably assist the Holder with claiming any exemption or reduction from such withholding or deduction allowable by law, provided, however, that the Company or its paying agent, as appropriate, shall, in good faith, determine the appropriate amount to withhold under applicable law after consulting with the Holder and its tax advisors. The Company shall provide a receipt or other evidence of payment of any such Taxes deducted or withheld reasonably acceptable to the Holder within 30 days after making any deduction or withholding of such Taxes.
(l)    Exchange Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, unless the Company shall have first obtained the Stockholder Approval, 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 Exchange Cap Amount, minus (ii) the aggregate number of Conversion Shares (subject to appropriate adjustment for any Stock Event that occurs after the issuance of any Conversion Shares) issued prior to such time upon conversion of this Note (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 on a pro rata basis (based on the portion of the principal amount of this Note so transferred relative to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of this Note immediately prior to such transfer). Upon the issuance of a Warrant in respect of each Optional Redemption, (A) the initial “Cap Allocation Amount” (as defined in the Warrants) applicable to such Warrant shall be the product of (x) the Cap Allocation Amount of this Note immediately prior to the consummation of such Optional Redemption, multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Principal redeemed in such Optional Redemption and the denominator of which shall be the Principal amount of this Note immediately prior to such Optional Redemption and (B) effective immediately following the issuance of such Warrant, the Cap Allocation Amount of this Note shall be reduced by a number of Shares equal to the number of Shares comprising the “Cap Allocation Amount” of such Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 2(l) shall not apply to a Successor Major Transaction Conversion.
(m)    Cash Settlement. Upon the conversion of this Note (in whole or in part) by the Holder prior to the date the Stockholder Approval is obtained, 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
16



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 prior to the time the Company obtains the Stockholder Approval, 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 or Organic Change. Without limiting any other rights of the Holder under the Facility Agreement or any other Facility Document in respect of Major Transactions, in the event of a Major Transaction, the Holder, at its option, may, (A) convert all or a portion of the outstanding Principal in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 (a “Major Transaction Conversion”) or (B) require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding Principal of this Note for the Major Transaction Redemption Price as provided in this Section 3 (a “Major Transaction Redemption”).
(a)Major Transaction Conversion. The Holder may elect a Major Transaction Conversion as follows: (1) in the case of a Successor Major Transaction, the Holder, at its option, may elect to convert, in whole or in part, by written notice delivered to the Company in the manner provided in Section 3(c)(iii) and effective immediately prior to, and conditional upon, (x) the consummation of a Takeout Major Transaction or (y) in the case of an Asset Sale, the Company’s distribution of assets to its stockholders, as applicable (a “Successor Major Transaction Conversion”), the outstanding Principal into 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 the number of Shares equal to the Base Conversion Shares plus the Additional Conversion Shares (each as defined below) (without regard to the 4.9% Cap, the Cap Allocation Amount or any other restriction or limitation on conversion) immediately prior to such Takeout Major Transaction or distribution of assets (as applicable) (the “Successor Major Transaction Consideration”), and (2) in the case of any one or more Major Transactions other than a Successor Major Transaction (a “Company Share Major Transaction”), the Holder shall have the right to convert, in whole or in part, following the occurrence of any such Major Transaction and from time to time thereafter, the outstanding Principal into a number of Shares equal to the Base Conversion Shares plus the Additional Conversion Shares (“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 Section 3(a) (i) the aggregate total number of Major Transaction Company Shares into which all or any portion of
17



the outstanding Principal may be converted and (ii) the aggregate number of Conversion Shares to be used for calculating the Successor Major Transaction Consideration in respect of any Major Transaction, shall be calculated to be the sum of (a) the number of Shares into which the outstanding Principal then being converted would otherwise be converted (in the case of a Major Transaction Conversion in respect of a Company Share Major Transaction, including (for the avoidance of doubt) 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 equal to the product of (x) the Additional Share Coefficient (as such term is defined and determined for each $1,000 of outstanding Principal then being converted on Schedule 1 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 then being converted and the denominator of which is $1,000 (such number of Shares calculated in accordance with this clause (b), the “Additional Conversion Shares”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, following a Company Share Major Transaction another Major Transaction shall occur, the Additional Share Coefficient shall be determined by reference to such Major Transaction that results in a determination of the greatest number of Additional Conversion Shares.
(c)Notice; Major Transaction Redemption Election; Major Transaction Conversion Election.
(i)At least thirty (30) days prior to the occurrence of any Major Transaction or Organic Change, but, in any event, one (1) Trading Day following the first to occur of (x) the date of the first public announcement by any Person of such Major Transaction or Organic Change if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or (y) the day following the date of first public announcement by any Person of such Major Transaction or Organic Change if such announcement is made on or after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via (i) email and (ii) overnight courier to the Holder (a “Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice”); provided, however, that, with respect to any Major Transaction or Organic Change that is not a Successor Major Transaction, the applicable deadline by which the Company must deliver the Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice shall be within one (1) Trading Day following (x) the date of the first public announcement by any Person of such Major Transaction or Organic Change 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 or Organic Change 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 or Organic Change not later than one (1) Trading Day after the Company first has knowledge of the occurrence thereof. Any Major Transaction/Organic 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/Organic Change Notice shall prominently indicate that it is a “Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice” and the subject of any email that contains or attaches a Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice shall be “TOI – Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice.” Each Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice shall set forth the date on which the applicable Major Transaction or Organic Change has been or will be consummated (or, if such date is not known, the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of such consummation). If a Major Transaction or Organic Change shall not have been consummated within thirty (30) days following the date the Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice with respect thereto shall have first been delivered to the Holder, then promptly following such thirtieth (30th) day, such Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice shall be re-sent in accordance with this Section 3(c)(i) (provided, that such notice shall be updated, if applicable, to reflect the Company’s good faith estimate of the date on which the Major Transaction or Organic Change will be consummated as of the date such notice is re-sent). Without limiting the rights and remedies of the Holder
18



hereunder or under the Facility Documents or otherwise at law or in equity, the failure to timely deliver or re-send any Major Transaction/Organic Change 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.
(ii)If a Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice is given (or required to be given) at any time with respect to any Major Transaction, then (A) in the case of a Successor Major Transaction, at any time during the period beginning on the date the Company delivers (or by which it is obligated to deliver) such Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice and ending on the later of (1) five (5) Trading Days prior to the occurrence of such Major Transaction and (2) fifteen (15) Trading Days after the Holder’s receipt of the last Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice received by the Holder and (B) in the case of a Company Share Major Transaction, at any time beginning on the date the Company delivers (or by which it is obligated to deliver)) a Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice and ending 30 Trading Days after the latest of (X) the Holder’s receipt of such Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice, (Y) the effective date of the Company Share Major Transaction, and (Z) the Company’s public announcement thereof, the Holder may elect to require a Major Transaction Redemption by delivering written notice thereof (the “Major Transaction Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Major Transaction Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of the Principal that the Holder is electing to have redeemed in a Major Transaction Redemption.
(iii)If a Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice is given (or required to be given) in respect of a Successor Major Transaction, and the Holder has not elected to require a Major Transaction Redemption in respect of all of the Principal, at any time during the period beginning on the date the Company delivers (or by which it is obligated to deliver) such Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice in respect of a Major Transaction and ending on the later of (1) five (5) Trading Days prior to the occurrence of such Major Transaction and (2) fifteen (15) Trading Days after the Holder’s receipt of such Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice, the Holder may elect to require a Successor Major Transaction Conversion (in respect of all or any portion of the Principal, except any portion that the Holder has elected to be redeemed in a Major Transaction Redemption) by delivering written notice thereof (the “Major Transaction Early Termination Notice”) to the Company, which Major Transaction Early Termination Notice shall indicate the portion of the Principal that Holder is electing to be treated as a Successor Major Transaction Conversion (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Holder may elect a Major Transaction Redemption in respect of a portion of the Principal and a Successor Major Transaction Conversion in respect of another portion of the Principal). If holders of any Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Successor Major Transaction or Organic Change, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the type of consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note in connection with such Successor Major Transaction or Organic Change.
(iv)In respect of any Company Share Major Transaction, at any time from the date the Company delivers (or is obligated to deliver) to the Holder a Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice with respect thereto, the Holder may deliver written notice of a Major Transaction Conversion (“Major Transaction Conversion Notice”) to the Company, which Major Transaction Conversion Notice shall indicate the portion of the Principal (the “Major Transaction Conversion Amount”) that the Holder is electing to treat as a Major Transaction Conversion (which may be of all or any portion of the Principal, except any portion that the Holder has elected to be redeemed in a Major Transaction Redemption), the Premium Amount with respect thereto and the effective date of such Major Transaction Conversion (which shall not be prior to the consummation of the applicable Company Share Major Transaction) (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Holder may elect a Major Transaction Redemption in respect to a portion of the Principal and Major Transaction Conversions in respect
19



of other portions of the Principal). 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 (provided that the effective date of any such conversion shall not be prior to the consummation of the applicable Company Share Major Transaction).
(d)     Settlement of Major Transaction Consideration. Following receipt of a Major Transaction Redemption Notice or Major Transaction Early Termination Notice from the Holder in respect of a Successor Major Transaction, the Company shall not effect the Successor Major Transaction with respect to which Holder has elected (or is deemed to have elected) a Major Transaction Redemption or Successor Major Transaction Conversion unless it either (a) shall first place into an escrow account with an independent escrow agent, at least three (3) Trading Days prior to the closing date of the Successor Major Transaction, the Major Transaction Redemption Price and/or Successor Major Transaction Consideration (as applicable) applicable thereto, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such payment or issuance, as applicable (and any other amounts payable under the Facility Agreement, including the Exit Fee and, in the case of a Major Transaction Redemption, the Make Whole Amount), or (b) shall obtain the written agreement of the Successor Entity (which agreement shall include provisions entitling the Holder to enforce such agreement as a third party beneficiary) that payment or issuance of the Major Transaction Redemption Price or Successor Major Transaction Consideration (as applicable) applicable thereto plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such payment or issuance, as applicable (and any other amounts payable under the Facility Agreement) shall be made to the Holder concurrently with the consummation of such Successor Major Transaction and such payment or issuance, as the case may be, which shall be a condition precedent to the consummation of such Successor Major Transaction. Concurrently upon closing of such Successor Major Transaction, the Company shall pay or issue, as the case may be, or instruct the escrow agent to deliver, or cause the Successor Entity to pay or issue, as applicable, the Major Transaction Redemption Price or Successor Major Transaction Consideration (as applicable) applicable thereto, as the case may be, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such payment or issuance, as applicable (and any other amounts payable under the Facility Agreement).
(e)     Organic Change. Any merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, spin-off or other transaction, in each case, that is effected in such a way (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) that the Common Stock is exchanged for, converted into, or represents the right to receive, stock, securities or assets with respect to, or in exchange for, Shares (other than any transaction referred to in Section 2(e) or Section 6) is referred to herein as an “Organic Change.” Without limiting any other rights of the Holder under this Section 3 or any other provision of this Note, unless otherwise provided in writing by the Required Note Holders, prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, the Company will make appropriate provision (pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Note Holders and approved by the Holder prior to the consummation of such Organic Change (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive, in lieu of the Shares otherwise acquirable or receivable upon the conversion of this Note (without regard to the 4.9% Cap, the Cap Allocation Amount or any other restriction or limitation on conversion; provided that such written agreement shall contain a limitation on conversion comparable to the 4.9% Cap), such shares of stock, securities and/or assets (collectively, “Reference Property”) as would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with respect to, or in exchange for, the number of Shares which would have been acquirable or receivable upon the conversion of this Note immediately prior to such Organic Change (without regard to the 4.9% Cap, the Cap Allocation Amount or any other restriction or limitation on conversion). The Company shall not effect any Non-Surviving Organic Change (as defined below), unless prior to the consummation thereof, the Acquiring Entity (as defined
20



below) provides a written agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) and approved by Holder prior to the consummation of such Non-Surviving Organic Change (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to deliver to the Holder, upon conversion of this Note, such shares of stock, securities and/or assets as would have been issued or payable in such Non-Surviving Organic Change with respect to, or in exchange for, the number of Shares that would have been acquirable or receivable upon the conversion of this Note immediately prior to such Organic Change (without regard to the 4.9% Cap, the Cap Allocation Amount or any other restriction or limitation on conversion). For purposes of this Note, “Non-Surviving Organic Change” means any Organic Change following which the Company is not a surviving entity or as a result of which the holders of the Shares are entitled to receive stock or other securities of a new Parent Entity, but excluding for avoidance of doubt, any such Organic Change in which the consideration payable in respect of the Shares is limited to cash; and “Acquiring Entity” means the Person purchasing assets of the Company in a Non-Surviving Organic Change or the Successor Entity resulting from any Non-Surviving Organic Change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Major Transaction as to which Holder has exercised its right to require a Major Transaction Redemption or a Successor Major Transaction Conversion in respect of all of the Principal of this Note be subject to the provisions of this Section 3(e), and the foregoing shall not affect Holder’s right to convert this Note prior to the consummation of the Organic Change.
For the avoidance of doubt, the rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder upon the occurrence of a Major Transaction or Organic Change are conditional upon such Major Transaction or Organic Change being consummated (or actually occurring) and in the event that a Major Transaction or Organic Change for which the Holder is given notice is not consummated (or does not occur), then upon written notice from the Company to the Holder confirming that such Major Transaction has not and will not be consummated (or occur), all actions taken under this Section 3 prior to such written notice in connection with such Major Transaction shall be deemed to be rescinded and null and void and the Company shall return to the Holder this Note (if previously surrendered to the Company in connection with an anticipated Major Transaction or Organic Change under this Section 3). In the event that such Major Transaction is being consummated pursuant to an agreement between the Company (or any Affiliate thereof) and any other Person, the Company shall not deliver the written notice contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence unless such agreement has terminated.
(f)     Conversion Right Continues. 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 (and any other amounts payable under the Facility Agreement), in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 and the Facility Agreement, this Note may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Shares or Reference Property, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Note.
4.Registration Failures. In addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Holder hereunder or under any other Facility Document, the Holder shall be entitled to the payments provided in the Registration Rights Agreement in the event of any Registration Failure (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).
5.Voting Rights. Except as required by law, the Holder shall have no voting rights with respect to any of the Conversion Shares until the Conversion Date 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, and shall be paid by the Company, such dividends paid (or cash amounts equal to such dividends) and distributions of any kind made to the holders of Common Stock, other than
21



dividends of, or distributions payable in, Shares, to the same extent as if the Holder had converted this Note into such Shares (without regard to the 4.9% Cap, the Cap Allocation Amount or any other 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) and had held such Shares on the record date for such dividends and distributions (or, if there is no record date therefor, on the date of such dividend or distribution). Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of 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”), 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 the 4.9% Cap, the Cap Allocation Amount or any other 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 the other 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. Each Optional Redemption Notice 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 to the Holder hereunder, the Company shall send an Optional Redemption Notice to the holders of each of the other 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 twenty (20) Trading Days but no more than sixty (60) (calendar) days following the date the applicable Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the holders of
22



Notes. The Optional Redemption Notice (and each optional redemption notice delivered to holders of the other 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 and the Exit Fee) 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. 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) threafter, 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 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) if the Transfer Agent for the Common Stock is not participating in DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, (iv) if a Third Party Delivery Failure or Conversion Failure shall have occurred and be continuing or (v) 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
23



Redemption Notice shall be voided, the Pending Redemption Period shall cease, and the Optional Redemption shall not be effected.
8.Certain Provisions Related to Shares Issued Hereunder.
(a)Sufficient Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting conversions of this Note, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire Principal convertible under this Note (without regard to the 4.9% Cap, the Cap Allocation Amount or any other restriction or limitation on conversion); and 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, 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 Company’s charter increasing the authorized share capital of the sufficiently high to meet the Company's obligations under this Section 8(a).
(b)Fully-Paid. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon any conversion of this Note, all shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any Person.
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 and the other Facility Documents, 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 Holder’s 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, except as may be set forth in the Facility Agreement, there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). 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
24



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 9.1 of the Facility Agreement.
14.Transfers of Notes.

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 Major Transaction Effective Date (or, if applicable, the date of a Major Transaction Conversion) 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 and the maximum number of Conversion Shares set forth in the last sentence of this Schedule 1 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 “Remaining Note Life” shall be the number of years remaining until the Maturity Date as of the Major Transaction Effective Date; provided, however, that in the case of a Major Transaction Conversion following a Company Share Major Transaction, the “Remaining Note Life” shall be the number of years remaining until the Maturity Date as of the Conversion Date in respect of such Major Transaction Conversion.     
    For purposes of the chart below, the “Share Price Result” shall be the greatest of: (i) the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date the Major Transaction is consummated or otherwise occurs, (ii) the last Closing Price of the Common Stock immediately prior to the public announcement of the Major Transaction, (iii) the first Closing Price of the Common Stock immediately following the public announcement of the Major Transaction and (iv) 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 Share Price Result is less than $4.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Price as provided in Section 2 of this Note), then the Additional Share Coefficient shall be equal to the amount applicable to $30.00 and $4.00 respectively.

WARRANT
TO PURCHASE
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
OF
THE ONCOLOGY INSTITUTE, INC.
Original Issue Date: [_______] [__], 202[_]No. W-[_]
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, The Oncology Institute, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Company”), hereby certifies that [_______] 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 Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). This Warrant is issued pursuant to that certain Facility Agreement, dated as of August 9, 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 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.
1.Term. The right to subscribe for and purchase Warrant Shares represented hereby commences on the Original Issue Date and shall expire at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on August 9, 2027 (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, except as otherwise provided in Section 2(p) in respect of Excess Warrant





Shares, the applicable Exercise Price, which may be satisfied by a Cash Exercise or a Cashless Exercise or a Note Exchange 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”). Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(p) in respect of Excess Warrant Shares, 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 cashier’s 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”):

X =Y (A-B)
A
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 on the last Trading Day prior to the date of determination; 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
2
    



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(e) of the Facility Agreement, (a “Note Exchange Exercise”).
(e)Issuance of Warrant Shares and New Warrant. Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, 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 Company’s designated transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”) to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s 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; provided that a failure by the Transfer Agent to timely credit such Warrant Shares in accordance with this clause (i) to the extent it is caused solely by a failure by the Holder or its designee to accept such DWAC transmission (a “DWAC Acceptance Failure”) shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 2(e); provided, further, that the Company or the Transfer Agent shall notify the Holder as promptly as possible (and in any event within one Trading Day) after the Company becomes aware of the fact that a DWAC Acceptance Failure has occurred 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 (or, only if directed by the Holder, following a DWAC Acceptance Failure), 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 (or making arrangements for delivery of, and reliance by the Transfer Agent upon, an opinion of Outside Counsel to the Holder, as contemplated by Section 2(g)(ii)), 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 legends or be subject to stop transfer 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 Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise of this
3
    



Warrant (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Excess Warrant Shares) shall be deemed to have been issued to the Person or Persons entitled to receive such Warrant Shares and such Person or Persons shall be treated for all purposes as the legal and record holder or holders of such Warrant 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, on or prior to the date the Stockholder Approval has been obtained, (i) the Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this warrant for Warrant Shares in excess of the Cap Allocation Amount in effect as of the Exercise Date and (ii) the Company shall pay to the Holder upon any exercise this Warrant that would otherwise result in the issuance of any Excess Conversion Shares the Cash Settlement Amount in lieu of issuing such Excess Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of Section 2(p).
(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.
(iii)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
4
    



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.
(iv)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 by the holder thereof 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 Holder’s 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 Outside Counsel to the Holder (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent, or shall have made arrangements with the Holder reasonably acceptable to the Holder in respect of the delivery by Outside Counsel to the Holder of a legal opinion and taken such actions as shall be necessary to ensure that the Transfer Agent will rely on such opinion, in any case, 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 if any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met after the
5
    



issuance of any Warrant Shares 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 Holder's 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 Closing Date, 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 Closing 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 Company’s 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.
(v)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 (x) the number of Common Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be rounded up to the next higher whole number of Common Shares; or (y) 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
6
    



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)Holder’s 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 Holder, together with the Holder’s Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares beneficially owned 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 beneficially own in excess of 4.9% of the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed not to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) 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 Company’s 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, any convertible notes (including the Notes) and any Series A Common Stock Equivalent Convertible Preferred Stock, 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. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported.

(l) Cash Damages for Failure to Timely Issue Warrant Shares. If by the third 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 by which the Cash Settlement Amount is payable (the “Cash Damages Trigger Date”), the Company shall (i) 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 Holder’s or its designee’s 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 and regardless of whether a Third Party Delivery Failure has occurred) or (ii) pay such Cash Settlement Amount, then, in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder, under the Facility Documents or otherwise at law or in equity, the Company shall pay partial liquidated damages to the Holder, in cash, for each thirty (30) day period after such Cash Damages Trigger Date such exercise is not effected in an amount equal to (prorated for any partial period) two percent (2.0%) of (y) in the case of a failure to timely 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 Cash Damages Trigger Date 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 the 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 Holder’s 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), 100% of the amount by which (A) the Holder’s 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 (regardless of whether a Third Party Delivery Failure has occurred), 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 (in each case, regardless of whether a Third Party Delivery Failure has occurred). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise to cover the sale of Common Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s 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 Company’s 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 tenth (10th) Business Day after the expiration of the Delivery Period
8
    



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 Holder’s 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 Holder’s Exercise Form shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such Void Conversion Notice pursuant to Section 2(l).
(n)No Event of Default. Notwithstanding any to the contrary contained in this Warrant or in the Facility Agreement, neither a Delivery Failure nor a Legend Removal Failure shall consititute an event of default under the Facility Agreement to the extent such Delivery Failure or Legend Removal Failure, as applicable, results solely from a Third Party Delivery Failure.
(o)Exchange Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, unless the Company shall have first obtained the Stockholder Approval, the Company shall not issue, upon exercise of this Warrant (in whole or in part) Common Shares in an amount greater than the Cap Allocation Amount. In the event that the 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 on a pro rata basis (based on the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is so transferred relative to the Warrant Share Number immediately prior to such transfer). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 2(o) shall not apply to any exercise of this Warrant in connection with a Major Transaction in which the Holder is entitled to receive cash, securities or other assets of a Successor Entity.
(p)Cash Settlement. Upon the exercise of this Warrant (in whole or in part) by the Holder prior to the date the Stockholder Approval is obtained, (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(A–B), 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Cash Settlement Amount in respect of an exercise of this Warrant effected in connection with a Major Transaction shall be an amount equal to the Major Transaction Consideration in respect of the Excess Warrant Shares. 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 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 shall simultaneously become due and payable to Holder.

3.Certain Representations and Agreements. The Company represents, covenants and agrees:
(q)This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.
(r)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 or the Cap Allocation Amount); 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 Company’s charter increasing the authorized share capital of the sufficiently high to meet the Company’s obligations under this Section 3(b).
(s)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 Company’s capital stock may be listed at the time of such exercise.
(t)The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to 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.
(u)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,
10
    



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.
(v)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 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, the Cap Allocation Amount 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.
(w)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 Holder’s 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 Holder’s election. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Cap Allocation Amount and any other restriction or limitation on 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.
11
    



(x)Organic Change and Major Transaction.
(i)At least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any Major Transaction or Organic Change, 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 Transaction or Organic Change 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 or Organic Change 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/Organic Change Notice”). The Company shall make a public announcement of any Major Transaction or Organic Change no later than one (1) Trading Day after the Company first has knowledge of the occurrence thereof. Each Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice shall prominently indicate that it is a “Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice” and the subject of any email that contains or attaches a Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice shall be “TOI – Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice.” Each Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice shall set forth the date on which the applicable Major Transaction or Organic Change has been or will be consummated (or, if such date is not known, the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of such consummation). If a Major Transaction or Organic Change shall not have been consummated within thirty (30) days following the date the Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice with respect thereto shall have first been delivered to the Holder, then promptly following such thirtieth (30th) day, such Major Transaction/Organic Change 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 Company’s good faith estimate of the date on which the Major Transaction or Organic Change 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/Organic Change 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)In the event of a Major Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity shall, at the Holder’s 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 Major Transaction/Organic Change Notice 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 Holder’s 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
12
    



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 and any other restriction or limitation on 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 and the Major Transaction Consideration.
(iii)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 Number (at the time of such Organic Change and, for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Cap Allocation Amount 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 Holder’s 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. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the provisions of this Section 4(d)(iii) nor any partial exercise of this Warrant following the occurrence of an Organic Change shall in any way limit the right of the Holder to elect a Major Transaction Redemption in accordance with Section 4(d)(ii).
(iv)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.
13
    



(v)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder may deliver an Exercise Form 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 Company’s distribution of assets to its shareholders, as applicable.
(vi)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.
(y)Certain Repurchases of Common Shares. In case the Company effects a Pro Rata Repurchase of shares of Common Stock and the value (determined as of the time (the “Expiration Time”) such Pro Rata Repurchase expires by the Company in good faith) of the cash and other consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Pro Rata Repurchase exceeds the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such Pro Rata Repurchase (such Closing Price, the “Pro Rata Repurchase Closing Price”), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase (including the shares to be repurchased or exchanged in the Pro Rata Repurchase) and (y) the Pro Rata Repurchase Closing Price, minus (ii) the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Company in good faith) paid or payable for shares purchased in such Pro Rata Repurchase, and of which the denominator shall be the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase, excluding the shares to be repurchased or exchanged in the Pro Rata Exchange and (y) the Pro Rata Repurchase Closing Price. In such event, the Warrant Share Number shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (i) the product of (x) the Warrant Share Number before such adjustment, and (y) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Pro Rata Repurchase giving rise to this adjustment by (ii) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.
(z)Other Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of Section 4(a), 4(b), 4(d) or 4(e) 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 in a manner consistent with such provisions; provided, that (A) no such adjustment shall increase the Exercise Price except as otherwise determined pursuant to the express provisions of Section 4(a); and (B) no such adjustment will be required for any of the following events: (i) any Organic Change (as to which, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth in Section 4(d) will apply); (ii) any
14
    



dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (as to which, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth in Section 4(b) will apply); (iii) any Pro Rata Repurchase (as to which, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth in Section 4(e) will apply); (iv) any event of the type described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 4(a) (as to which, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth in Section 2(f) will apply); and (v) any Major Transaction (as to which, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth in Section 4(d) will apply).
(aa)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.
(ab)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.
(ac)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.
(ad)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.
(ae)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.
5.Taxes; HSR.
(af)Withholding. The Company and its paying agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold Taxes on all payments (or deemed payments) with respect to the Warrants to the extent required by applicable law. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted to the applicable governmental authority, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Warrant as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. In the event the Company previously remitted any amounts to a governmental authority on account of Taxes required to be deducted or withheld in respect of any deemed distribution under Section 305 of the Code to a Holder that is not a U.S. Person as defined in the Code (a “non-U.S. Holder”) with respect to a Warrant or upon the exercise thereof, the Company or its paying agent shall be entitled to offset any such amounts against any amounts otherwise payable or
15
    



deliverable to such Holder in respect of such Warrant. The Company shall notify the applicable non-U.S. Holder of its intention to make any such withholding or deduction reasonably in advance of doing so, and shall reasonably assist the Holder with claiming any exemption or reduction from such withholding or deduction allowable by law, provided, however, that the Company or its paying agent, as appropriate, shall, in good faith, determine the appropriate amount to withhold under applicable law after consulting with the Holder and its tax advisors. The Company shall provide a receipt or other evidence of payment of any such Taxes deducted or withheld reasonably acceptable to the Holder within 30 days after making any deduction or withholding of Taxes.
(ag)Taxes.

(b) No principal amount of the Loans shall be permitted to be voluntarily prepaid, repaid, redeemed or paid by any Loan Party prior to the Maturity Date (other than pursuant to an Optional Redemption).

The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the Agent and the Lenders would not have entered into this Agreement without the Loan Parties agreeing to pay the Make Whole Amount and Exit Fee in the aforementioned instances. The Parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that the Make Whole Amount and Exit Fee are not intended to act as a penalty or to punish the Borrower or any other Loan Party for any such prepayment, repayment, redemption, payment or other reduction.

26 US_153737865v8 shall be allocated among the Lenders in accordance with and in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares. (d) Any conversions of the Loans (and Notes evidencing such Loans) by any Lender into Conversion Shares, any prepayments of principal by the Borrower or any other Loan Party (whether in cash or otherwise) 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, shall be applied against, and reduce, principal repayments required pursuant to Section 2.2(a) with respect to each applicable Lender’s Loans (and Notes evidencing such Loans), in each case, as of the date of such applicable conversion or exercise or applicable cash prepayment until the earlier to occur of (i) the time such principal repayment obligation has been satisfied in full (whether by repayment or as a result of Conversions by the Lenders), and (ii) 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date such principal repayment is due (i.e. following the earlier of clauses (i) and (ii), such conversion or prepayment would be applied against the principal repayment required pursuant to Section 2.2(a)). (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender which is also a holder of Warrants may, at such Lender’s 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 Lender’s 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.

Any payment received by the Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party after such time may, in Agent’s or such applicable Lender’s or Secured Party’s discretion, be deemed to have been made on the following Business Day.

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 or Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4(g), in no event shall a Lender or the Agent be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.4(g), 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(g) shall require any Lender to disclose any information it deems confidential (including its tax returns) to any Person, including the Borrower.

(f) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Agent or subagent provided by law, the Agent or subagent 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 2.10 and which has not been returned to the Agent or subagent, 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 the Agent or subagent or any of their Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Lender. The Agent and subagent agrees promptly to notify the Lender after any such setoff and application made by the Agent or subagent; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. (g) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Agent or subagent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Agent or subagent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, to the rights and interests of such Lender, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) 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; provided that this Section 2.10 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Agent or subagent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent or subagent from Borrower for the purpose of paying, repaying, discharging, or otherwise satisfying any Obligations. (h) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent or subagent

Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments that are not material individually or in the aggregate), 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. (b) There are no material off-balance sheet arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or other Persons that (i) may have a material current or, to any of the Loan Parties’ or any of their Subsidiaries’ knowledge, material future effect on any Loan Party’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources or significant components of revenue or expenses or (ii) that are required to be disclosed by the Borrower in the SEC Documents that have not been so disclosed in the SEC Documents.

(e) 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


 
37 US_153737865v8 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.

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 SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Borrower’s (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. The Borrower and its 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.

(b) Any Lender may assign or transfer its rights or the Obligations owing to it under the Facility Documents to any Person (other than to a Disqualified Lender (in the absence of an Event of Default)), the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any natural person): (i) with the written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or (d) has occurred and is continuing or such assignment is made to an Approved Fund and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided, that, the Lenders as of the Closing Date may assign or transfer its rights or the Obligations hereunder to another Person (or its Affiliates) identified to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date without the consent of any party hereto. Upon a Lender’s assignment of any of the Loans held by it (in accordance with this Section 9.4(b)), the Agent shall record the identity of the transferee and other relevant information in the Register, and the transferee shall (to the extent of the interests transferred to such transferee) have all the rights and obligations of, and shall be deemed, a Lender with respect to such Loan hereunder or under the other Facility Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, each assignment or transfer of the rights or Obligations of any Lender shall be subject only to the following conditions: (i) the parties to each assignment or transfer shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment and Assumption and (ii) upon the reasonable request by Agent, the assignee or transferee shall provide all documentation and other information reasonably determined by Agent to be required by applicable regulatory authorities required under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act. (c) In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.4, each Secured Party may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under the Facility Documents, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Secured Party’s Indebtedness or equity securities. (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 Indebtedness 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. Section 9.5 Entire Agreement; Amendments. (a) The Facility Documents contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the matters covered thereby and supersede any and all other written and oral communications,


 
75 US_153737865v8 negotiations, commitments and writings with respect thereto. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.5(c), no amendment, restatement, modification, supplement, change, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents (other than the Warrants, any Control Agreement or any similar agreement or any landlord agreement or bailee or mortgagee waiver, each of which may be amended, restated, supplemented, changed, terminated or waived in accordance with the terms thereof), and no consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided that no such amendment, restatement, modification, change, termination, waiver or consent shall, without the consent of each Lender with Obligations directly and adversely affected thereby, do any of the following: (i) reduce any Loan; (ii) postpone the Maturity Date or other scheduled final maturity date of any Loan, or postpone the date or reduce the amount of any scheduled payment (but not mandatory prepayment) of principal of any Loan; (iii) postpone the date on which any interest, premium or any fees are payable (other than default interest charged pursuant to Section 2.7(b)); (iv) decrease the interest rate borne by any Loan (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.7(b)) or the amount of any premium or fees payable hereunder (including, without limitation, the Make Whole or the Exit Fee); (v) amend this Section 9.5 or any provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Documents providing for consent or other action by all Lenders; (vi) amend, modify, change or waive the provisions contained in (A) this Section 9.5 in a manner that would further restrict the rights of any Lender to assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (B) Section 9.5(d); provided, further, that no such amendment, restatement, modification, change, termination, waiver or consent shall, without the consent of each Lender, do any of the following: (x) change in any manner any provision of this Agreement that by its terms, expressly requires the approval or consent of all Lenders; (y) release or subordinate any Lien granted in favor of Agent with respect to all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the value of the guarantees of the Obligations provided by the Guarantors, in each case, other than in accordance with the terms of the Facility Documents; or (z)(A) change or have the effect of changing the priority or pro rata treatment of any payments (including voluntary and mandatory prepayments), Liens or proceeds of Collateral (including as a result in whole or in part of allowing the issuance or incurrence, pursuant to this Agreement, the other Facility Documents or otherwise, of new loans or other Indebtedness having any priority over any of the Obligations in respect of payments, Liens, Collateral or proceeds of Collateral, in exchange for any Obligations or otherwise), or (B) advance the date fixed for, or increase, any scheduled installment of principal due to any of the Lenders under any Facility Document. (c) No amendment, restatement, supplement, modification, change, termination, waiver or consent of any provision of any Facility Document shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent, (i) amend, restate, supplemented, modify, change, terminate or waive (or consent to any diversion from) any provision of this Section 9.5(c) or of any other provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Document that, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of Agent, (ii) reduce the amount or postpone the due date of or waives any fees, expenses and/or indemnities payable to Agent hereunder or under the other Facility Documents or (iii) or otherwise affect the rights, benefits, liabilities or duties of Agent under this Agreement or any other Facility Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.5(b), Agent and the Borrower may amend or modify this Agreement and any other Facility Document to (A) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency therein, and (B) grant a new Lien to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, extend an existing Lien over additional property for the benefit of the Secured Parties or join additional Persons as Loan Parties.


 
76 US_153737865v8 Section 9.6 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. The Parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. Section 9.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and by each Party on separate counterparts, each of which and any photocopies, facsimile copies and other electronic methods of transmission thereof shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Section 9.8 Survival. (a) All representations and warranties made hereunder and in the other Facility Documents, and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant thereto or in connection therewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents and the making of the Loan hereunder or thereunder regardless of any investigation made by any such other Party or on its behalf. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Secured Parties, regardless of any investigation made by any Secured Party or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Secured Party 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 (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 shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied, in each case, other than contingent obligations not due and owing. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Facility Documents, all of the provisions (including the making of the representations and warranties) herein or in any other Facility Document that relate to the Warrants, the Warrant Shares, the Conversion Shares or any securities Laws or that relate to the Reporting Period shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and any other Obligations, and shall continue at all times to be made, until the end of the Reporting Period, but all other representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, events of default, fees, penalties and other provisions not expressly surviving pursuant to this Section 9.8 shall terminate upon the payment in full of the Obligations (for the avoidance of doubt, not including unasserted contingent indemnification obligations or any Obligations in respect of the Facility Documents, Warrant Shares or Conversion Shares). Section 9.9 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. 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. 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 9.10 Indemnity. (a) The Loan Parties shall, at all times, 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 (including the reasonable attorneys’


 
77 US_153737865v8 fees incurred in defending against such claims in a proceeding or otherwise), 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 Loan or the other Obligations and the issuance of the Securities (including any transactions or assets financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, therewith), any disclosure made pursuant to Section 6.17, or the status of a Lender or other holder of Securities as an investor in any Loan Party, that an Indemnified Person may incur or to which an Indemnified Person may become subject, but excluding Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in respect of a non-Tax claim (each, a “Loss”). The Indemnity 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 such Loss resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or the material breach of the funding obligations of such Indemnified Person (not as a result of any action or inaction by any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates). The Indemnity is independent of, and in addition to, any other agreement of any Party under the Registration Rights Agreement or 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. (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 9.10 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 9.11 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 Applicable 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 Applicable Law, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the highest lawful rate permitted by Applicable 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 Applicable Law, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously


 
78 US_153737865v8 paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Loan Parties. Section 9.12 Specific Performance. The Loan Parties agree (and agree on behalf of their Subsidiaries) that irreparable damage, for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of the Facility Documents is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached. In light of the foregoing, the Loan Parties hereby agree that the Secured Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of the Facility Documents and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof without proof of damages or otherwise and without any obligation to post a bond or other security. Section 9.13 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 Applicable 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. Each Secured Party further consents to and authorizes Agent’s execution and delivery of any additional intercreditor or subordination agreements from time to time as contemplated by the terms hereof on behalf of such Secured Party and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions thereof, including any purchase option contained therein. The provisions of this Section 9.13 are solely for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders and none of the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions in this Section 9.13. 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 Borrower 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 9.13 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.


 
79 US_153737865v8 (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, 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 Party’s 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


 
80 US_153737865v8 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 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 Agent’s 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 Person’s 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 9.13(g). Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender’s 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 9.13(g) shall survive repayment of the Loans and the other Obligations, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Facility Documents, 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 Borrower and 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


 
81 US_153737865v8 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 Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be immediately and automatically terminated at such time. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9.13 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 Agent’s notice of resignation (or at the time of removal of a Person as Agent), the retiring Agent’s 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. (j) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, based upon the written instruction of the Required Lenders, to (a) credit bid and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) credit bid and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with Applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Lenders shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation thereof would not unduly delay the ability of Agent to credit bid and purchase at such sale or other disposition of the Collateral and, if such claims cannot be estimated without unduly delaying the ability of Agent to credit bid, then such claims shall be disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to any interest in the asset or assets purchased by means of such credit bid) and the Lenders whose Obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive interests (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Stock of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). Except as provided above and otherwise expressly provided for herein or in the other Facility Documents, Agent will not execute nor deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral. Upon request by Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Section 9.13(j). Each Secured Party whose Obligations are credit bid under this Section 9.13(j) shall be entitled to receive interests in the Collateral or any other asset acquired in connection with such credit bid (or in the Stock of the acquisition vehicle or


 
82 US_153737865v8 vehicles that are used to consummate such acquisition) on a ratable basis in accordance with the percentage obtained by dividing (y) the amount of Obligations of such Secured Party that were credit bid in such credit bid by (z) the aggregate amount of all Obligations that were credit bid in such credit bid. Section 9.14 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 9.15 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 Party’s acquisition of Obligations, 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 9.16 No Fiduciary Relationship. Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees that (a) each Secured Party is acting at arm’s length from the Loan Parties with respect to this Agreement and the other Facility Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (b) no Secured Party will, by virtue of this Agreement or any of the other Facility 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) no Secured Party 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 Facility 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 Applicable Law, any claim that any Secured Party has any fiduciary duty to such Loan Party; (d) any advice given by a Secured Party or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the other Facility Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Secured Party’s 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 Facility Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Loan Parties and their representatives. Section 9.17 Joint and Several. The obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Facility Documents are joint and several. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reference is


 
83 US_153737865v8 hereby made to Section 2 of the Security Agreement, to which the obligations of the Loan Parties are subject. Section 9.18 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Loan Parties and the Secured Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to any Person not a party to this Agreement or the other Facility Documents. Section 9.19 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each of the Loan Parties party hereto, each Lender party hereto and Agent and such executed counterparts have been delivered to Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Section 9.20 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. No Secured Party 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. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from the Borrower, from any other Loan Party, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, from any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred. Section 9.21 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Facility Document, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. No course of dealing between any Loan Party, any Affiliate of any Loan Party or any Secured Party shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of any of the Facility Documents. Section 9.22 Right of Setoff. Each Secured Party and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by each Loan Party), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by any Secured Party or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any Obligation of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any Facility Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured. No Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff without the prior consent of the Required Lenders. Each Secured Party agrees promptly to notify Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Secured Party or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights under this Section 9.22 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that any Secured Party or any of its Affiliates may have. Section 9.23 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender, directly or through any of its Affiliates, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Loan Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) (and other than pursuant to Section 9.4) and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Facility Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Lenders such


 
84 US_153737865v8 participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Lenders to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been applied in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender without interest and (ii) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the applicable Loan Party in the amount of such participation. Section 9.24 Certain Securities Matters. Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees that none of the Secured Parties or holders of the Securities has been asked to agree, nor has any Secured Party agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, Stock or other securities of the Borrower, or “derivative” securities or Stock based on Stock or other securities issued by the Borrower or to hold the Securities for any specified term; and no Secured Party nor holder of Securities shall be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counterparty in any “derivative” transaction. 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 Stock held by the existing holders of Common Stock or other 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 Borrower’s obligation to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants and the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the 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 9.25 Tax Treatment. Under current U.S. federal income tax law, neither the Loan Parties nor the Secured Parties shall treat any Loan as a contingent payment debt instrument within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.1275-4(a) (or comparable provision of any state or local Tax law), or as anything other than debt for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, in each case unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of August 9, 2022, by and among (i) The Oncology Institute, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pubco”), (ii) Deerfield Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited Partnership (“Deerfield Partners”), (iii) Deerfield Private Design Fund IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“DPD IV”), (iv) Deerfield Private Design Fund V, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“DPD V” and, together with DPD IV and Deerfield Partners, the “Deerfield Funds”), and (iv) each assignee or transferee of Registrable Securities that enters into a joinder to this Agreement agreeing to be bound by the terms hereof (such assignees or transferees, together with the Deerfield Funds, collectively, the “Investors” and each an “Investor”). Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in Section 11 hereof and, if not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings set forth in the Facility Agreement (as defined below).
WHEREAS, the Company and each Deerfield Fund have previously entered into that certain Facility Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, pursuant to which the Company is issuing to each Deerfield Fund a Convertible Note and may from time to time issue to certain Investors one or more Facility Warrants.
WHEREAS, in order to induce the Deerfield Funds to execute and deliver the Facility Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:

1.Resale Shelf Registration Rights.
(a)Registration Statement Covering Resale of Registrable Securities. Pubco shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Commission, no later than thirty (30) days following date hereof (the “Filing Deadline”), a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by the Investors of all of the Registrable Securities held by the Investors (the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”). The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-1; provided, that Pubco shall file, within thirty (30) days of such time as Form S-3 (“Form S-3”) is available for the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, a post-effective amendment to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement then in effect, or otherwise file a Registration Statement on Form S-3, registering the Registrable Securities for resale in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence on Form S-3 (provided that Pubco 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 Commission). Pubco shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing, but in no event later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days following the Filing Deadline and (ii) three (3) Business Days after the Commission notifies Pubco that it will not review the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, if applicable (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that, if the Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 1(a) is reviewed by, and Pubco receives comments from, the Commission with respect to such Registration Statement, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to ninety (90) days following the Filing Deadline. Without limiting the foregoing, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days, following the resolution or clearance of all Commission comments or, if applicable, following notification by the Commission that any such Registration Statement or
1


any amendment thereto will not be subject to review, Pubco shall file a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement (to the extent required, by declaration or ordering of effectiveness, of such Registration Statement or amendment by the Commission) to a time and date not later than two (2) Business days after the submission of such request. Once effective, Pubco shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, to ensure that another Registration Statement is available, under the Securities Act at all times for the public resale of all of the Registrable Securities until such date as all Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Shelf Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement. The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Investor to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement, and Pubco shall file with the Commission the final form of such Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424 (or successor thereto) under the Securities Act no later than the first (1st) Business Day after the Resale Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective. The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall provide that the Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Investors. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to any comments from the Commission, each Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 1 shall include a “plan of distribution” approved by the Required Investors. If requested by an Investor and Company securities are registered for resale by such Investor pursuant to the Registration Statement of the Company (File No. 333-261740) on Form S-1, which was declared effective by the Commission on February 11, 2022, as amended (including by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto, which was declared effective by the Commission on May 3, 2022) (the “Existing Registration Statement”), the Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 1(a) shall include a combined prospectus for the resale of the Registrable Securities registered by such Registration Statement and the securities registered for resale by the Existing Registration Statement and shall be deemed a post-effective amendment to the Existing Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 429 under the Securities Act.
(b)Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 1, in the event that, despite Pubco’s efforts to include all of the Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 1(a), the Commission informs Pubco (the “Commission’s Notice”) that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415 or otherwise, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single Registration Statement, Pubco agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the holders thereof and use its reasonable best efforts to file amendments to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as required by the Commission and (ii) as soon as practicable but in no event later than the New Registration Statement Filing Deadline, file an additional Registration Statement (a “New Registration Statement”), on Form S-3, or if Form S-3 is not then available to Pubco for such Registration Statement, on such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, Pubco shall be obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly-available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”), including without limitation, the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations D.29. The Investors shall have the right to participate or have their respective legal counsel participate in any meetings or discussions with the Commission regarding the Commission’s position and to comment or have their respective counsel comment on any written submission made to the Commission with respect thereto. No such written submission shall be made to the Commission to which any Investor’s counsel reasonably objects. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC
2


Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering, unless otherwise directed in writing by a holder as to its Registrable Securities directing the inclusion of less than such holder’s pro rata amount or otherwise required by the SEC, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Investors. In the event Pubco amends the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, Pubco will use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to Pubco or to registrants of securities in general, one or more Registration Statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.
(c)No Investor shall be named as an “underwriter” in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 1 without the Investor’s prior written consent; provided that if the Commission requests that an Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, then such Investor will have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (i) have the opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement upon its prompt written request to Pubco, in which case Pubco’s obligation to register such Investor’s Registrable Securities shall be deemed satisfied or (ii) be included as such in the Registration Statement. Each Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided to each Investor prior to its filing with, or other submission to, the Commission, and shall be subject to the approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, of the Required Investors; provided that, Pubco shall not be deemed to be in breach of any Effectiveness Deadline or other deadline set forth in this Agreement if the failure of Pubco to meet such deadline is the result of the Required Investors’ failure to approve such Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto or request for acceleration thereof.
(d)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 Section 1 is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities (without giving effect to any limitations on the exercise or conversion of any securities exercisable for, or convertible into, Registrable Securities and, in the case of Registrable Securities issuable upon the exercise of warrants, assuming the exercise of such warrants for cash), Pubco shall amend such 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 the exercise or conversion of any securities exercisable for, or convertible into, Registrable Securities and, in the case of Registrable Securities issuable upon the exercise of warrants, assuming the exercise of such warrants for cash) as of the Registration Trigger Date as soon as practicable, but in any event within fifteen (15) days after the Registration Trigger Date. Pubco 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 Pubco shall cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective within sixty (60) days of the Registration Trigger Date (or ninety (90) days if the applicable Registration Statement or amendment is reviewed by, and comments are thereto provided from, the Commission) or as promptly as practicable in the event Pubco 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 principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.
2.Shelf Takedowns; Suspension Events.
3


(a)Shelf Takedowns. At any time when the Resale Shelf Registration Statement for the sale or distribution by holders of Registrable Securities on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415, including by way of an underwritten offering, block sale or other distribution plan (each, a “Resale Shelf Registration”), is effective and its use has not been otherwise suspended by Pubco in accordance with the terms of Section 2(c) below, upon a written demand (a “Takedown Demand”) by any Investor that is a Shelf Participant holding Registrable Securities at such time (the “Initiating Holder”), Pubco will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement a “takedown” of Registrable Securities off of such Resale Shelf Registration (a “take down offering”) and Pubco shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith; provided that, subject to the MNPI Provisions (as defined below), Pubco will provide (x) in connection with any non-marketed underwritten takedown offering (other than a Block Trade), at least two (2) Business Days’ notice of such Takedown Demand to each holder of Registrable Securities (other than the Initiating Holder) that is a Shelf Participant, (y) in connection with any Block Trade initiated prior to the three (3) year anniversary of the consummation of the Mergers (as defined in the Existing Registration Rights Agreement), notice of such Takedown Demand to each holder of Registrable Securities (other than the Initiating Holder) that is a Shelf Participant no later than noon Eastern time on the Business Day prior to the requested Takedown Demand and (z) in connection with any marketed underwritten takedown offering, at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of such Takedown Demand to each holder of Registrable Securities (other than the Initiating Holder) that is a Shelf Participant. In connection with (x) any non-marketed underwritten takedown offering initiated prior to the three (3) year anniversary of the consummation of the Mergers and (y) any marketed underwritten takedown offering, if any Shelf Participants entitled to receive a notice pursuant to the preceding sentence request inclusion of their Registrable Securities (by notice to Pubco, which notice must be received by Pubco no later than (A) in the case of a non-marketed underwritten takedown offering (other than a Block Trade), the Business Day following the date notice is given to such participant, (B) in the case of a Block Trade, by 10:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date notice is given to such participant and (C) in the case of a marketed underwritten takedown offering, three (3) Business Days following the date notice is given to such participant), the Initiating Holder and the other Shelf Participants that request inclusion of their Registrable Securities shall be entitled to sell their Registrable Securities in such offering. Subject to the MNPI Provisions, each holder of Registrable Securities that is a Shelf Participant agrees that such holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the notice of a Takedown Demand and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such notice without the prior written consent of Pubco until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement.
(b)Priority on Takedown Offerings. Except as required by the Existing Registration Rights Agreement, Pubco shall not include in any Registration Statement filed in respect of an underwritten takedown offering any securities that are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the managing underwriters and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding. If a takedown offering is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise Pubco in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such underwritten offering, Pubco shall include in such offering, prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not Registrable Securities, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration (pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder).
(c)Suspension Events.
4


(i)Pubco may suspend the use of a prospectus that is part of any Resale Shelf Registration Statement (and therefore suspend sales of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to such Resale Shelf Registration Statement) by providing written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities if the board of directors of Pubco reasonably determines in good faith that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities would be expected to have a detrimental effect on any proposal or plan by Pubco or any subsidiary thereof to engage in any material acquisition or disposition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction or would require Pubco to disclose any material nonpublic information which would reasonably be likely to be detrimental to Pubco and its subsidiaries. Pubco may suspend the effectiveness of a Registration Statement filed hereunder pursuant to Section 1(a) or delay or suspend a takedown offering pursuant to Section 2(a) only once in any consecutive twelve-month period; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Pubco may in any event delay or suspend the effectiveness of a takedown offering in the case of an event described under Section 5(g) to enable it to comply with its obligations set forth in Section 5(f).
(ii)In the case of an event that causes Pubco to suspend the use of any Resale Shelf Registration as set forth in Section 2(c)(i) or pursuant to Section 5(g) (a “Suspension Event”), Pubco shall promptly give a notice to the holders of Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration (a “Suspension Notice”), to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities and, subject to the MNPI Provisions, such notice shall state that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing (provided that in each notice Pubco shall not disclose the basis for such suspension or any material non-public information to any Investor unless otherwise requested in writing by such Investor). Pubco shall use reasonable best efforts to make the Resale Shelf Registration Statement available for the sale by Investors of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable following a Suspension Event. A holder of Registrable Securities shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Resale Shelf Registration (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from Pubco and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the foregoing shall not restrict or otherwise affect the consummation of any sale pursuant to a contract entered into, or order placed, by any holder prior to the delivery the Suspension Notice. Subject to the MNPI Provisions, each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that such holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the Suspension Notice and shall not disclose the information contained in such Suspension Notice without the prior written consent of Pubco until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by such holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement. The holders of Registrable Securities may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration (or such filings) following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from Pubco, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by Pubco to the holders of Registrable Securities and to such holders’ counsel, if any, promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event.
(d)Selection of Underwriters. If any takedown offering requested hereunder is an underwritten offering, the holders of Registrable Securities that requested such takedown offering shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer such takedown offering, provided that such selection shall be subject to the written consent of Pubco, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Pubco and such holders shall have the right to approve the underwriting arrangements with such investment banker(s) and manager(s) on behalf of all holders of Registrable Securities participating in such offering. All Investors proposing to distribute their securities through underwriting shall (together with Pubco) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting.
5


(e)Revocation of Takedown Notice. At any time prior to the “pricing” of any offering relating to a Takedown Demand, the holders of Registrable Securities that requested such takedown offering may revoke such request for a takedown offering on behalf of all holders of Registrable Securities participating in such takedown offering without liability to such holders of Registrable Securities, in each case by providing written notice to Pubco.
3.Piggyback Registrations.
(a)Right to Piggyback. Whenever Pubco proposes to register under the Securities Act an offering of any of its securities on behalf of any holders thereof or otherwise effect an underwritten offering of securities (other than (i) pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or the Existing Registration Statement, (ii) pursuant to a Takedown Demand (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is addressed in and subject to the rights set forth in, Section 2 hereof), (iii) in connection with registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 promulgated by the Commission or any successor forms, (iv) pursuant to a registration relating solely to employment benefit plans, or (v) in connection with a registration the primary purpose of which is to register debt securities) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), Pubco shall give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a Piggyback Registration and, subject to the terms of Sections 3(c) and 3(d) hereof, shall include in such Piggyback Registration (and in all related registrations or qualifications under blue sky laws or in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which Pubco has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of Pubco’s notice; provided that any such other holder may withdraw its request for inclusion at any time prior to executing the underwriting agreement or, if none, prior to the applicable Registration Statement becoming effective (if applicable).
(b)Piggyback Expenses. The Registration Expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities shall be paid by Pubco in all Piggyback Registrations, whether or not any such registration became effective.
(c)Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of Pubco, and the managing underwriters advise Pubco in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, Pubco shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities Pubco proposes to sell, (ii) second, the securities required to be included in such registration pursuant to the Existing Registration Rights Agreement, (iii) third, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Investors which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect (pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder), and (iv) fourth, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect.
(d)Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of Pubco’s securities other than holders of Registrable Securities, and the managing underwriters advise Pubco in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, Pubco shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders initially requesting such registration, (ii) second, the securities required to be included in such registration pursuant to the Existing Registration Rights Agreement, (iii) third, the
6


Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Investors which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect (pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder), and (iv) fourth, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect.
(e)Right to Terminate Registration. Pubco shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 3 whether or not any holder of Registrable Securities has elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by Pubco in accordance with Section 7.
(f)Other Registration Rights. Pubco represents and warrants to each holder of Registrable Securities that the registration rights granted in this Agreement do not conflict with any other registration rights granted by Pubco, and that the requisite holders of “Registrable Securities” (within the meaning of the Existing Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below)) have consented to the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and waived, on behalf of all holders of such securities, any right to receive notice of, or to participate in the Registration Statement (including any amendment or supplement thereto) required by Section 1 of this Agreement.
4.Agreements of Certain Holders. The holders of Registrable Securities shall use reasonable best efforts to provide such information as may reasonably be requested by Pubco, or the managing underwriter, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement in which the Registrable Securities of such holder are to be included, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 3. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, Pubco shall not be obligated to include such holder’s Registrable Securities to the extent Pubco has not received such information, and received any other reasonably requested selling stockholder questionnaires, on or prior to the later of (i) the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date on which such information is requested from such holder and (ii) the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement.
5.Registration Procedures. In connection with the Registration to be effected pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, and whenever the holders of Registrable Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement or have initiated a takedown offering, Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto Pubco shall as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a)prepare in accordance with the Securities Act and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and file with the Commission a Registration Statement, and all amendments and supplements thereto and related prospectuses as may be necessary to comply with applicable securities laws, with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective (provided that at least two (2) Business Days before filing a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, Pubco shall furnish to counsel selected by the Required Investors copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the review and comment of such counsel, and no such document shall be filed with the Commission to which any Investor or its counsel reasonably objects);
7

(d)furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities thereunder such number of copies of such Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus), each Free-Writing Prospectus and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller;

(g)promptly notify in writing each seller of such Registrable Securities (i) after it receives notice thereof, of the date and time when such Registration Statement and each post-effective amendment thereto has become effective or a prospectus or supplement to any prospectus relating to a Registration Statement has been filed and when any registration or qualification has become effective under a state securities or blue sky law or any exemption thereunder has been obtained, (ii) subject to Sections 10(a) and 10(b) of this Agreement and Section 6.17 of the Facility Agreement (collectively, the “MNPI Provisions”), after receipt thereof, of any request by the Commission for the amendment or supplementing of such Registration Statement or prospectus or for additional information, and (iii) at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of any such seller, Pubco promptly shall prepare, file with the
8


Commission and furnish to each such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
(h)cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by Pubco are then listed and, if similar securities are not so listed, to be listed on a securities exchange and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two market makers to register as such with respect to such Registrable Securities with FINRA;
(i)if applicable, 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 Resale Shelf Registration Statement (an “Issuer Filing”), pay the filing fee required by such Issuer Filing and use its reasonable 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 Resale Shelf Registration Statement.
(j)provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;
(k)enter into and perform such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the Required Investors or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, if the Registration involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $25,000,000, participating in such number of “road shows”, investor presentations and marketing events as the underwriters managing such offering may reasonably request);
(l)make available for inspection by a representative of the Investors selected by the Required Holders, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such representative or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate and business documents and properties of Pubco as shall be reasonably requested to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause Pubco’s officers, managers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, however, that any such representative or underwriter enters into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Pubco, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;
(m)take all reasonable actions to ensure that any Free-Writing Prospectus utilized in connection with any Shelf Registration or Piggyback Registration hereunder complies in all material respects with the Securities Act, is filed in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby, is retained in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby and, when taken together with the related prospectus, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(n)otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission;
(o)permit any holder of Registrable Securities who, in its good faith judgment (based on the advice of counsel), could reasonably be expected to be deemed to be an
9


underwriter or a controlling Person of Pubco to participate in the preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to require the insertion therein of material furnished to Pubco in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel should be included;
(p)in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Common Stock included in such Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction, use its reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order;
(q)use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;
(r)cooperate with the holders of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement and the managing underwriter or agent, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be sold under the Registration Statement and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter, or agent, if any, or such holders may request;
(s)cooperate with each holder of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA;
(t)if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a cold comfort letter from Pubco’s independent public accountants and addressed to the underwriters, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters as the underwriters in such registration reasonably request;
(u)provide a legal opinion of Pubco’s outside counsel, dated the effective date of such Registration Statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten Public Offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), with respect to the Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included therein (including the preliminary prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such nature, which opinion shall be addressed to the underwriters;
(v)if Pubco files an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405) (an “Automatic Shelf Registration Statement”) covering any Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to remain a WKSI (and not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405)) during the period during which such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is required to remain effective;
(w)if Pubco does not pay the filing fee covering the Registrable Securities at the time an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is filed, pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold;
(x)subject to the terms of Section 2(a), if an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement has been outstanding for at least three (3) years, at the end of the third year, refile a new Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities, and, if at any
10


time when Pubco is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status Pubco determines that it is not a WKSI, use its reasonable best efforts to refile the Registration Statement on Form S-3 and keep such Registration Statement effective (including by filing a new Resale Shelf Registration or Shelf Registration, if necessary) during the period throughout which such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective;
(y)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 (“DTC”) 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; and
(z)for so long as this Agreement remains effective, use its reasonable best efforts to (a) cause the Common Stock to be eligible for clearing through DTC, through its DWAC system; (b) be eligible and participating in the Direct Registration System (DRS) of DTC with respect to the Common Stock; (c) ensure that the transfer agent for the Common Stock is a participant in, and that the Common Stock is eligible for transfer pursuant to, DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (or successor thereto); and (d) cause the Common Stock to not at any time be subject to any DTC “chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction with respect to any DTC services, including the clearing of shares of Common Stock through DTC, and, in the event the Common Stock becomes subject to any DTC “chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction with respect to any DTC services, use its reasonable best efforts to cause any such “chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction to be removed at the earliest possible time.
6.Termination of Rights. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the right of any Investor to include Registrable Securities in any Piggyback Registration shall terminate on such date that such Investor (together with its affiliates and Related Funds) (i) beneficially owns less than 1% of the outstanding Common Stock, (ii) has held the securities for one year and (iii) may sell all of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without any restrictions as to volume or the manner of sale or otherwise and without the requirement for Pubco to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(i) or Rule 144(i)(2) (in the case of Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise of warrants, assuming the exercise thereof for cash); provided, however, that with respect to any Investor whose rights have terminated pursuant to this Section 6, if following such a termination, such Investor loses the ability to sell all of its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without any restrictions as to volume or the manner of sale or otherwise and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(i) or Rule 144(i)(2) due to a change in interpretive guidance by the Commission or otherwise, then such Investor’s right to include Registrable Securities in any Piggyback Registration shall be reinstated until such time as the Investor is once again able to sell all of its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without any restrictions as to volume or the manner of sale or otherwise and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(i) or Rule 144(i)(2).
7.Registration Expenses.
(a)All expenses incident to Pubco’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, qualification and filing fees, listing
11


fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, stock exchange rules and filings, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of custodians, and fees and disbursements of counsel for Pubco and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters (excluding underwriting discounts and commissions) and other Persons retained by Pubco (all such expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”), shall be borne by Pubco as provided in this Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, Pubco also shall pay all of its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expense of any liability insurance and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by Pubco are then listed. Each Person that sells securities hereunder shall bear and pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, underwriter marketing costs, brokerage fees and transfer taxes applicable to the securities sold for such Person’s account and all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing any such Person.
(b)In connection with any Shelf Registration or Piggyback Registration in respect of an underwritten offering, Pubco shall reimburse the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel chosen by the Required Holders.
8.Indemnification.
(a)Pubco agrees to (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Investor, each Person who controls such Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) each Investor’s and control Person’s respective officers, directors, members, partners, managers, agents, affiliates and employees from and against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (“Losses”) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made), and (ii) pay to each Investor and their respective officers, directors, members, partners, managers, agents, affiliates and employees and each Person who controls such Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), as incurred, any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, except in each case of (i) or (ii) insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to Pubco or any managing underwriter by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that Pubco shall not be liable in any such case for any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon an untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement or to the extent that such Loss results from an Investor’s initiation of a transaction pursuant to a Registration Statement during a Suspension Event noticed to such Investor by Pubco in accordance with Section 2(f)(ii) hereof. In connection with an underwritten offering, Pubco shall indemnify any underwriters or deemed underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within
12


the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities.
(b)In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each such Investor shall furnish to Pubco in writing such information relating to such Investor as Pubco reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify Pubco, its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives and each Person who controls Pubco (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Investor or to the extent that such Loss results from such Investor’s initiation of a transaction pursuant to a Registration Statement during a Suspension Event noticed to such Investor by Pubco in accordance with Section 2(f)(ii) hereof; provided that the obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, for each holder and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds actually received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
(c)Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party in defending such claim) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (as well as one local counsel for each applicable jurisdiction) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicted indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the registration, at the expense of the indemnifying party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Pubco shall not, without the prior written consent of the Person entitled to indemnification, 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 Person 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 or culpability or failure to act on the part of any indemnified Person.
(d)Each party hereto agrees that, if for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Sections 8(a) or 8(b) are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
13


indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, relates to information supplied by or on behalf of such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders or any underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or, except as provided in Section 8(c), defending any such action or claim. 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 who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of each of the Investors in this Section 8(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the amount of securities registered by them and not joint and shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration (less the aggregate amount of any damages or other amounts such Investor has otherwise been required to pay (pursuant to Section 8(b) or otherwise) as a result of any untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions in connection with such registration).
(e)The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, manager, agent, representative or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities and the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
(f)In addition to all other available remedies that any Investor may pursue hereunder, under the Facility Agreement or under any other Facility Document, upon the occurrence of a Registration Failure and/or a Public Reporting Failure (a “Compliance Failure”), the Company shall pay additional damages to each Investor for each 30-day period (prorated for any partial period) a Compliance Failure shall be continuing (without duplication, in the case of a concurrent Registration Failure and Public Reporting Failure) in an amount, in cash, equal to one percent (1%) of the aggregate fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 2(c) of the Facility Warrants) of the Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares (as defined in the Convertible Notes) issued or issuable pursuant to the Facility Warrants and Convertible Notes, as applicable (without giving effect to any restrictions or limitations on exercise or conversion thereof), in each case, held by such Investor on the date of such Compliance Failure. Such payments shall accrue until the earlier of (i) such time as the Compliance Failure(s) has (have) been cured and (ii) in the case of a Registration Failure (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, a Public Reporting Failure), the date on which all of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares cease to be Registrable Securities. All such payments that accrue under this Section 8(f) shall be payable no later than ten (10) Business Days following such date of accrual.
9.Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or
14


Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including, without limitation, pursuant to any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the underwriters; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities such holder has requested to include) and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody agreements, stock powers, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to Pubco or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such holder, such holder’s title to the securities, such Person’s authority to sell such securities and such holder’s intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to Pubco or the underwriters with respect thereto that are materially more burdensome than those provided in Section 8. Each holder of Registrable Securities shall execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by Pubco and the lead managing underwriter(s) that are consistent with such holder’s obligations under Section 4, Section 5 and this Section 9 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto, and Pubco shall execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the lead managing underwriter(s) (if applicable) in order to effect any registration required hereunder. To the extent that any such agreement is entered into pursuant to, and consistent with, Section 4 and this Section 9, the respective rights and obligations created under such agreement shall supersede the respective rights and obligations of the holders, Pubco and the underwriters created pursuant to this Section 9.
10.Other Agreements.
(a)For so long as any Investor holds Registrable Securities that may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 only if Pubco is in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), Pubco will use its reasonable best efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 and, in furtherance thereof, (i) remain subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; and (ii) timely (without giving effect to any extensions pursuant to Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act, as applicable) file all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (provided, that the failure to file Current Reports on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to violate this Section 10(b) to the extent that Rule 144 remains available for the resale of Registrable Securities). Upon reasonable prior written request, Pubco shall deliver to the Investors a customary written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and without limiting Section 6.17 of the Facility Agreement, in the event that Pubco believes that a notice or communication required by this Agreement to be delivered to any Investor contains material, nonpublic information relating to Pubco, its securities, any of its affiliates or any other Person, Pubco shall so indicate to such Investor prior to delivery of such notice or communication, and such indication shall provide such Investor the means to refuse to receive such notice or communication; and in the absence of any such indication, the Investors and their respective affiliates, agents and representatives shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice or communication do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to Pubco, its securities, any of its affiliates or any other Person. In the event of a breach of any of the foregoing covenants by Pubco, any of its affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, attorneys, agents or representatives, in addition to any other remedies otherwise available at law or in equity, each of the Investors shall have the right to make a public disclosure in the form of a press release or otherwise, of the applicable material nonpublic information without the prior approval by Pubco or any of its affiliates, officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, stockholders, attorneys, agents or representatives, and no Investor (nor any of its affiliates, agents or representatives) shall have
15


any liability to Pubco, any of its affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, stockholders, attorneys, agents or representatives for any such disclosure.
(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing and Section 8(s) of the Subscription Agreements, to the extent Pubco reasonably and in good faith determines that it is necessary to disclose material non-public information to an Investor in order to comply with its obligations hereunder (a “Necessary Disclosure”), Pubco shall inform counsel to such Investor (which, with respect to the Deerfield Investors, shall be Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP (Attn: Mark D. Wood and Jonathan D. Weiner)) of such determination without disclosing the applicable material non-public information, and Pubco and such counsel on behalf of the applicable Investor shall endeavor to agree upon a process for making such Necessary Disclosure to the applicable Investor or its representatives that is mutually acceptable to such Investor and Pubco (an “Agreed Disclosure Process”). Thereafter, Pubco shall be permitted to make such Necessary Disclosure (only) in accordance with the Agreed Disclosure Process. In furtherance of (but without limiting) the foregoing, at any time on or after the effective date of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, any Investor may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to Pubco requesting that such Investor thereafter not receive notices from Pubco otherwise required by Section 10 of this Agreement, other than Suspension Notices to the extent applicable to such Investor; provided, however, that such Investor may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from any Investor (unless such Opt-Out Notice is subsequently revoked), Pubco shall not deliver any such notices to such Investor, and such Investor shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice or conditioned upon the receipt of or response to any such notice.

(b)Entire Agreement. Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions among the parties hereto, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof shall be deemed to supersede, restrict or otherwise affect the rights and obligations of any party to the Existing Registration Rights Agreement, except as have been waived or consented to in writing.
(c)Remedies. Any Person having rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this

Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 12(d) shall be binding upon each Investor and Pubco. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
(e)Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not.

(f)Transfer of Rights. An Investor may transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, to any transferee(s) of Registrable Securities, its rights and obligations under this Agreement and such rights will be transferred to such transferee effective upon receipt by Pubco of (A) written notice from such Investor stating the name and address of the transferee and identifying the number of Registrable Securities with respect to which rights under this Agreement are being transferred and the nature of the rights so transferred, and (B) except in the case of a transfer to an existing Investor, a written agreement from such transferee to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. A transferee of Registrable Securities who satisfies the conditions set forth in this Section 12(f) shall henceforth be an “Investor” for purposes of this Agreement and in the case of a transfer from a Deerfield Investor, a transferee shall be considered a Deerfield Investor as shall be applicable. In the event a holder transfers Registrable Securities included on a Registration Statement and such Registrable Securities remain Registrable Securities following such transfer, at the request of such holder, Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to amend or supplement the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such transferee to offer and sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Resale Shelf Registration Statement; provided that in no event shall Pubco be required to file a post-effective amendment to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement unless Pubco receives a written request from the subsequent transferee, requesting that its shares of Common Stock be included in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, with all information reasonably requested by Pubco.
(g)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, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such
20


prohibition, invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.
(h)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in counterparts (including by means of facsimile, electronic mail, portable data format (PDF) or other electronic signature pages), any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
(i)Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

Each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.

The Oncology Institute announces $110 million strategic investment by Deerfield Management to accelerate its expansion into new markets

Investment to accelerate Company’s expansion into new markets, bringing high-quality, value-based care to more patients

CERRITOS, Calif., August 9, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Oncology Institute, Inc. (NASDAQ: TOI), one of the largest value-based oncology groups in the United States, today announced entry into an agreement for the investment of $110 million from investment funds affiliated with Deerfield Management Company, L.P. (“Deerfield”), an investment firm committed to advancing healthcare. The investment will support TOI’s ongoing growth, enabling more patients to access the company’s high-quality care.

“We are very pleased to announce this strategic investment from Deerfield, one of the most active and experienced healthcare investors in the country.” said Brad Hively, CEO of TOI. “This investment will provide TOI with important growth capital to accelerate our expansion into new markets with our differentiated value-based approach to oncology. This represents a significant milestone in our journey to disrupt the >$200 billion U.S. oncology market, and we remain highly optimistic about our future.”

TOI has agreed to issue Deerfield $110 million aggregate principal amount of 4% secured senior convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes will be secured by (i) a security interest in substantially all of the assets of TOI and its subsidiaries and (ii) a pledge by TOI of the equity interest of all its direct and indirect subsidiaries and mature on August 9, 2027, unless earlier converted or redeemed, and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”). The Convertible Notes have an initial conversion price of $8.567, representing an approximate premium of 30% over the closing price of TOI’s Common Stock on August 8, 2022. The Convertible Notes may be converted into Common Stock at any time by the holders thereof, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. Based on the initial conversion price, the initial number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes is 12,839,967 shares.

The Convertible Notes may be redeemed by TOI at any time, in whole or in part, upon the payment of a 1.95% exit fee and a coupon make-whole equal to the future interest payments and the issuance of warrants to purchase Common Stock in an amount equal to the number of shares of common stock then underlying the redeemed Convertible Notes. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, TOI entered into a facility agreement containing a number of affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, liens, consolidations and dispositions and the making of certain dividends, distributions and investments, subject to certain exceptions and exclusions. TOI has also agreed to grant registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes or exercise of the warrants.

The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Notes will be approximately $106 million after deducting estimated expenses. TOI plans to use the proceeds from the Convertible Notes to fund future acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.
