1.1    Section 2.2(a) of the Loan and Security Agreements is amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
“(a)    Availability. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Lender agrees to make a term loan (the “Tranche A Loan”) to the Borrower on the Tranche A Closing Date in an amount corresponding to the Tranche A Commitment Amount. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Lender agrees to make a term loan (the “Tranche B Loan”) to the Borrower on the Tranche B Closing Date in an amount corresponding to the Tranche B Commitment Amount. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Lender agrees to make a term loan (the “Tranche B-1 Loan” and, together with the Tranche B Loan, the “Tranche B Loans”) to the Borrower on the Tranche B-1 Closing Date in an amount corresponding to the Tranche B-1 Commitment 


1





Amount. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Lender agrees to make loans (collectively, the “Tranche C Loans”) to the Borrower during the Tranche C Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in the aggregate Tranche C Credit Exposure exceeding the Tranche C Commitment Amount; provided that, the Borrower shall only be entitled to deliver up to three Borrowing Notices in respect of Tranche C Loans per calendar quarter and there shall not at any time be more than a total of three Tranche C Loans outstanding. Within the foregoing limit and on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may reborrow, prepay and reborrow Tranche C Loans in accordance with Section 2.2(d).”
1.2    Section 2.2(c) of the Loan and Security Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
“(c)    Repayment of the Tranche B Loans. Subject to Sections 2.2(e)-(g) and Section 2.3(b), the Borrower shall pay in full to the Lender the outstanding principal balance of (x) the Tranche B Loan on the Tranche B Maturity Date and (y) the Tranche B-1 Loan on the Tranche B-1 Maturity Date.” 
1.3    Section 2.2(f) of the Loan and Security Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

In connection with modifications to the development timelines contemplated by the Prefunded SOWs and the DLA, the Tranche A Maturity Date and/or the Tranche B Maturity Date and/or the Tranche B-1 Maturity Date may be extended for an additional number of days to be mutually agreed by the Lender and the Borrower if (i) the Lender provides the Borrower with written notice of an extension at least 30 days prior to the then-applicable Maturity Date and the Borrower does not object in writing to such extension within 5 Business Days of receipt of such written notice (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower shall not unreasonably condition, delay or object to such extension) or (ii) the Borrower provides the Lender with a written request for an extension, together with reasonable supporting information justifying such extension, at least 30 days prior to the then-applicable Maturity Date and the Lender consents to such extension within 5 Business Days of receipt of such written request (it being understood and agreed that the Lender shall not unreasonably condition, delay or withhold its consent to such extension).
