NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.    TERMINATION OF SECTIONS 1.4 AND 1.5.  Effective as of the Amendment Date, Sections 1.4 and 1.5 of the Existing Amendment Agreement are hereby terminated and of no further force and effect.
2.    PARTICIPATION RIGHT.  Effective as of the Amendment Date, Sections 2.1 through 2.4 of the Existing Amendment Agreement are hereby restated as follows:
2.1    In addition to any rights of any Investor pursuant to Section 4 of the Investors’ Rights Agreement (or any equivalent provision granting rights to future stock issuances to certain Investors of the Company), if prior to the Maturity Date (a) the Company proposes to conduct an Equity Round or (b) the Company or a Successor Company (as defined in the Notes) are considering a SPAC Merger and investors are committing to subscribe for equity of the Company, a Successor Company (as defined in the Notes) or the special purpose acquisition company in connection with the consummation of the SPAC Merger  (a “PIPE Investment”), then the Company shall give written notice (the “Offer Notice”) to each Closing Date purchaser of an Initial Note or its designee (each a “Participation Right Holder”), stating (a) its bona fide intention to conduct an Equity Round or enter or have a special purpose acquisition vehicle enter into a PIPE Investment,








 and (b) the price and terms of such Equity Round or PIPE Investment, including the price per share or other equity to be sold in such transaction. A Participation Right Holder’s election may be conditioned on the consummation of the transaction described in such Offer Notice.
2.2    With respect to an Equity Round, by written notice to the Company within five (5) Business Days after the Offer Notice is given, each Participation Right Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation (so long as such Participation Right Holder is an “Accredited Investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), to elect purchase from the Company its pro rata share of $10,000,000 in the aggregate, based on the same price and other terms and conditions offered to the other investors in such Equity Round.  “Equity Round” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Annex A. 
2.3    With respect to a PIPE Investment, by written notice to the Company within five (5) Business Days after the Offer Notice is given, each Participation Right Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation (so long as such Participation Right Holder is an “Accredited Investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act), to elect to purchase from the Company its pro rata share of $10,000,000 in the aggregate (the “PIPE Investment Amount”), based on the same price and other terms and conditions offered to the other investors in such PIPE Investment; provided, that the PIPE Investment Amount may be reduced or eliminated by the Company, if after consultation with the Company’s board of directors and the publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company, the Company determines that the full allocation of the PIPE Investment Amount would materially and adversely impact the success of the SPAC Merger; provided, further, that the PIPE Investment Amount may be reduced or eliminated upon the reasonable determination of the Company, based on the advice of outside counsel, that the grant or exercise of the PIPE Investment Amount could violate applicable securities laws.  The Company and the Investors acknowledge that this indication of interest is not intended to be an offer to purchase by the Participating Right Holders but merely an indication of interest to assist the Company in structuring the PIPE Investment and SPAC Merger and preparing appropriate disclosure in the registration statement.
2.4    This Section 2 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (a) such time as no shares of the Company’s Common Stock are held by the Participating Right Holders; (b) the consummation of the sale of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act in connection with the firm commitment underwritten offering of its securities to the general public; (c) the consummation of an Equity Round, provided that the Company complied with its obligations as set forth herein; (d) the consummation of a SPAC Merger, provided that the Company complied with its obligations as set forth herein; (e) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company that is effected for independent business reasons unrelated to extinguishing such right as set forth in this Section 2; and (f) the Maturity Date.

(ii)If the Three-Month LIBOR Rate cannot be determined as described above on the LIBOR Interest Determination Date, the rate for the Interest Period following the LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the rate in effect on the immediately prior LIBOR Interest Determination Date.
Notwithstanding clause (i) and clause (ii) above, if the Company  (in consultation with the Holders) determines on or prior to the relevant LIBOR Interest Determination Date that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date (each, as defined herein) have occurred with respect to Three-Month LIBOR Rate (or the then-current Benchmark, as applicable), then the provisions set forth below under “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event,” which are referred to as the benchmark transition provisions, will thereafter apply to all determinations of the rate of interest payable on the Notes. In accordance with the benchmark transition provisions, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the amount of interest that will be payable for each Interest Period will be an annual rate equal to the sum of the Benchmark Replacement (as defined herein) and 5.25%. In the event that LIBOR or applicable Benchmark is not available on any determination date, then unless the Calculation Agent is notified in writing of a Benchmark Replacement in accordance with the terms of this Note within three (3) LIBOR Business Days, the Calculation Agent shall use the interest rate in effect for the immediately prior Interest Period.
All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage
15






point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 3.456789% (or .03456789) being rounded to 3.45679% (or .0345679)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

The Original Principal Amount shall be allocated pro rata between such Replacement Notes based on the Outstanding Principal Balance designated for each.
(c)Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Note.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a Replacement Note (in accordance with Section 15(d)), representing the Outstanding Principal Balance.

Whenever the Company is required to issue a Replacement Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such Replacement Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such Replacement Note, the remaining Outstanding Principal Balance (or, in the case of a Replacement Note being issued pursuant to Section 15(a) or Section 15(c), the Outstanding Principal Balance designated by the Holder which, when added to the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance represented by the other Replacement Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the remaining Outstanding Principal Balance under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of Replacement Notes), (iii) shall be deemed to have an Original Principal Amount calculated in accordance with Section 15(b), (iv) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such Replacement Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (v) shall be deemed to have accrued its proportional share of the interest under this Note from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Due Date, (vi)shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note, and (vii) shall be timely prepared and issued by the Company.

29






reasonably satisfactory to the parties (which is ranked in the top twenty (20) accounting firms nationally, by revenue). The Company shall cause such accountant to perform the calculation and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed calculation. The Holder shall pay the costs and expenses of such accountant unless the calculation of such accountant is mathematically closer to the Holder’s calculation than the calculation submitted by the Company, in which case, the costs and expenses of such accountant shall be paid by the Company. Such calculation shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error.
