terminated pursuant to this Section 2.03 and Sections 6 and 7 of the Notes and the Company will be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under such Notes, including,
but not limited to, all obligations to pay the outstanding principal and any accrued interest on such Notes, and (y) all Warrants then outstanding under this Purchase Agreement that are held by such Defaulting Purchaser and each Affiliate
thereof shall be terminated pursuant to this Section 2.03 and Section 2 of the Warrants and the Company will be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under such Warrants. For purposes of determining the number of
Notes and Warrants purchased by a Purchaser at the Subsequent Tranche Closing, all Notes and Warrants purchased by Affiliates of such Purchaser at the Subsequent Tranche Closing shall be aggregated with the Notes and Warrants purchased by such
Purchaser (provided that no securities shall be attributed to more than one entity or person within any such group of affiliated entities or persons). For the avoidance of doubt, Purchasers may allocate and transfer their Notes and Warrants among
their Affiliates, in their sole discretion, and all Notes and Warrants being purchased by a Purchaser’s Affiliates shall be attributed to such Purchaser or group of such Purchaser’s Affiliates, as applicable, for purposes of determining
such Purchaser’s or such Purchaser’s Affiliates’ commitment to purchase its Allocation Percentage of the Aggregate Bridge Amount. 

2.04 Ranking; Allocation of Payments. The Notes shall rank equally without preference or priority of any kind over one another,
and all payments on account of principal and interest with respect to any of the Notes shall be applied ratably and proportionately among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid
balances outstanding thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s other indebtedness, except the Senior Debt. 

2.05 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds from the sale of the Notes shall be used by the Company for working capital and general
corporate purposes, but shall not be used for the payment of principal on any outstanding Senior Debt, other than ordinary course monthly payments of principal and interest to Silicon Valley Bank under the Loan Agreement.
