(h) No Integrated Offering. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their affiliates, nor any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or
sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or

control share acquisition, interested stockholder, business combination, poison pill (including, without limitation, any distribution under a rights agreement), stockholder rights plan or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Certificate
of Incorporation, Bylaws or other organizational documents or the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or otherwise which is or could become applicable to any Buyer as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including,
without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the Securities and any Buyer’s ownership of the Securities. The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any stockholder rights plan
or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or a change in control of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(k) SEC Documents; Financial Statements. From and after the effective time of the S-4 BC Registration Statement, the Company has timely (after giving effect to any applicable grace
period or extensions under applicable securities laws) filed all reports, schedules, forms, proxy statements, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act (all of the
foregoing filed prior to the Closing Time and all exhibits and appendices included therein and financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being collectively hereinafter referred to as the “SEC Documents”). The Company has delivered or has made available to the Buyers or their respective representatives true, correct and complete copies of each of the SEC Documents not available on the XXXXX
system. As of their respective dates (except to the extent that information contained in any SEC Document has been superseded by a later filed SEC Document), the
SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with
the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
materially misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the applicable BC Entities included in the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and
regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect as of the time of filing, or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the
notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the applicable BC Entities
as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, (i) in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments which will not be material, either individually or in the
aggregate, and (ii) changes to historical accounting policies of the applicable BC Entities in connection with any order, directive, guideline, comment or recommendation from the SEC that is applicable to such BC Entity. The investor presentation
relating to the Business Combination attached hereto as Exhibit G does not as of the date hereof contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in
order to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstance under which they are or were made. The Company is not currently contemplating to amend or restate any of the financial statements (including, without limitation,
any notes or any letter of the independent accountants of the applicable BC Entities with respect thereto) included in the SEC Documents (the “Financial Statements”), nor is the Company currently aware of
facts or circumstances which would require the Company to amend or restate any of the Financial Statements, in each case, in order for any of the Financials Statements to be in compliance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The
Company has not been informed by its independent accountants that they recommend that the Company amend or restate any of the Financial Statements or that there is any need for the Company to amend or restate any of the Financial Statements.
13
(l) Absence of Certain Changes. Since the date of the Target’s most recent audited financial statements contained in the S-4 BC Registration Statement, there has been no material
adverse change and no material adverse development in the business, assets, liabilities, properties, operations (including results thereof), financial condition or prospects of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, provided, however, that any
change or effect that results from or relates to any MAE Exception shall be disregarded for purposes of the foregoing. Since the date of the Target’s most recent audited financial statements contained in the S-4 BC Registration Statement, neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has (i) declared or paid any dividends, (ii) sold any material assets, individually or in the aggregate, outside of the ordinary course of business, other than sale of inventory or the abandonment of obsolete
equipment or (iii) made any material capital expenditures, individually or in the aggregate, outside of the ordinary course of business, other than the Business Combination. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any steps to
seek protection pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or winding up, nor does the Company or any Subsidiary have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of their respective
creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. The Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, immediately after giving effect to the
Business Combination and the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the Closing, and assuming (x) the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Buyers set forth in Section and (y) compliance by the Buyers with their
covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, will not be Insolvent (as defined below). For purposes of this Section 3(l), “Insolvent” means, (i) with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, on
a consolidated basis, (A) the present fair saleable value of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets is less than the amount required to pay the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ total Indebtedness (as defined below), (B) the Company and its
Subsidiaries are unable to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured or (C) the Company and its Subsidiaries intend to incur or believe that they will incur
debts that would be beyond their ability to pay as such debts mature; and (ii) with respect to the Company and each Subsidiary, individually, (A) the present fair saleable value of the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s (as the case may be) assets is
less than the amount required to pay its respective total Indebtedness, (B) the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) is unable to pay its respective debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and
liabilities become absolute and matured or (C) the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) intends to incur or believes that it will incur debts that would be beyond its respective ability to pay as such debts mature. Neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in any business or in any transaction, and is not about to engage in any business or in any transaction, for which the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s remaining assets constitute unreasonably small capital
with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted.
14
(m) No Undisclosed Events, Liabilities, Developments or Circumstances. No event, liability, development or circumstance has occurred or exists, or is reasonably expected to exist
or occur with respect to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, properties, liabilities, prospects, operations (including results thereof) or financial condition, that (i) would be required to be disclosed by
the Company under applicable securities laws on a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC relating to an issuance and sale by the Company of its Common Stock and which has not been publicly announced, (ii) could have a material
adverse effect on any Buyer’s investment hereunder or (iii) could have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Conduct of Business; Regulatory Permits. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any term of or in default under its Certificate of Incorporation,
any certificate of designation, preferences or rights of any other outstanding series of preferred stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Bylaws or their organizational charter, certificate of formation, memorandum of association,
articles of association, Certificate of Incorporation or certificate of incorporation or bylaws, respectively. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any judgment, decree or order or any statute, ordinance, rule or
regulation applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will conduct its business in violation of any of the foregoing, except in all cases for possible violations which could not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company is not in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of the Principal Market and has no
knowledge of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock by the Principal Market in the foreseeable future. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries possess all material certificates,
authorizations and permits (“Material Permits”) issued by the appropriate regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except where the failure to possess such certificates,
authorizations or permits would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect,
(i) each Material Permit is in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and (ii) no written notice of suspension, limitation, revocation, cancellation, modification or termination of any Material Permit has been received by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries.
(o) Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries or, to the Company’s knowledge, any director, officer, agent, employee, nor any other person acting
for or on behalf of the foregoing (individually and collectively, a “Company Affiliate”) have violated the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”) or any other
applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption laws, nor has, to the Company’s knowledge, any Company Affiliate offered, paid, promised to pay, or authorized the payment of any money, or offered, given, promised to give, or authorized the giving of
anything of value, to any officer, employee or any other person acting in an official capacity for any Governmental Entity to any political party or official thereof or to any candidate for political office (individually and collectively, a “Government Official”) or to any person under circumstances where such Company Affiliate knew or was aware of a high probability that all or a portion of such money or thing of value would be offered, given or
promised, directly or indirectly, to any Government Official, for the purpose of:
15
(i) (A) influencing any act or decision of such Government Official in his/her
official capacity, (B) inducing such Government Official to do or omit to do any act in violation of his/her lawful duty, (C) securing any improper advantage, or (D) inducing such Government Official to influence or affect any act or decision

Company Related Party’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries entered into in the ordinary course of business (including benefit plans and other ordinary course compensation). Except as set forth on Schedule 3(q), no Company Related Party

any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that the holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in part) against loss with respect thereto.
18
(t) Litigation. There is no action, suit, arbitration, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by the Principal Market, any court, public board, other Governmental Entity,

individually or in the aggregate, material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Neither the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective properties or assets is subject to any material order, writ, judgment, injunction,
decree, determination or award of any Governmental Entity which would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(u) Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as
management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and
neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will be unable to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to
continue its business at a cost that would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(v) Employee Relations. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member of a union. The Company and its
Subsidiaries believe that their relations with their employees are good. No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) promulgated under the 1933 Act) or other key employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has notified the Company or
any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. No current (or former) executive officer or other key employee of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or
agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment of each such executive officer or other key employee (as the case may be) does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the
foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages
and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect.
19

(i) Real Property. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries holds good
title to all real property, leases in real property, facilities or other interests in real property owned or held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Real Property”) owned by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries (as applicable). The Real Property is free and clear of all Liens and is not subject to any rights of way, building use restrictions, exceptions, variances, reservations, or limitations of any nature except for
Permitted Liens (as defined in the Notes). Any Real Property held under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not
interfere in any material respect with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(ii) Fixtures and Equipment. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries
(as applicable) has good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, the tangible personal property, equipment, improvements, fixtures, and other personal property and appurtenances that are used by the Company or its Subsidiary in connection
with the conduct of its business (the “Fixtures and Equipment”) except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries owns all of
its Fixtures and Equipment free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens.
(x) Intellectual Property
Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, original works of authorship, patents, patent rights,
copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights and all applications and registrations therefor (“Intellectual Property Rights”)
necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted, except where the failure to so own or possess would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company does not
have any knowledge of any infringement by the Company or its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of others. There is no written claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the knowledge of the Company, being threatened in
writing, that is currently pending against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding infringement of third party Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the
secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their material Intellectual Property Rights.
(y) Environmental Laws. (i) The Company and its Subsidiaries (A) are in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws (as defined below), (B) have received all permits, licenses
or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (C) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, in each of the foregoing clauses
(A), (B) and (C), the failure to so comply could be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state,
local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating
to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or
otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments,
licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.
20
(ii) No Hazardous Materials:
(A) have been disposed of or otherwise released from any Real Property of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of any Environmental Laws, which violation would have a Company Material Adverse Effect; or
(B) are present on, over, beneath, in or upon any Real Property or any portion
thereof in quantities that would constitute a violation of any Environmental Laws. No prior use by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Real Property has occurred that violates any Environmental Laws, which violation would have a
Company Material Adverse Effect.
(iii) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect,
neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries knows of any other person who or entity which has stored, treated, recycled, disposed of or otherwise located on any Real Property any Hazardous Materials, including, without limitation, such
substances as asbestos and polychlorinated biphenyls.
(iv) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect, none of the Real Properties are on any federal or state “Superfund” list or Liability Information System (“CERCLIS”) list or any state environmental agency list of sites under consideration for CERCLIS, nor subject to any environmental related Liens.
(z) Subsidiary Rights. The Company or one of its Subsidiaries has the unrestricted right to vote, and (subject to limitations imposed by applicable law) to receive dividends and
distributions on, all capital securities of its Subsidiaries as owned by the Company or such Subsidiary.

Entity, and (ii) has paid all material taxes and other governmental assessments and charges, in each case in the nature of taxes, required to be paid by it that are shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except
those being contested in good faith. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed in writing to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries know of no basis for any such
claim. The Company is not operated in such a manner as to qualify as a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297 of the Code.
21
(bb) Internal Accounting and Disclosure Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintains internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the 1934 Act) that is effective to provide, in all material respects, reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, including that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset and liability accountability and (iii) the unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's or each of its Subsidiaries' properties or assets could be prevented or timely detected. The Company
maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the 1934 Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the
Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice from any accountant, Governmental Entity or other Person that there
is a "material weakness" in the internal controls over financial reporting of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or a "significant deficiency" in the internal controls over financial reporting of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(cc) Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and an unconsolidated or other off
balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its 1934 Act filings and is not so disclosed or that otherwise could be reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(dd) Investment Company Status. The Company is not, and upon consummation of the sale of the Securities will not be, an “investment company,” an affiliate of an “investment
company,” a company controlled by an “investment company” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(ee) Acknowledgement Regarding Buyers’ Trading Activity. It is understood and acknowledged by the Company that (A) each Buyer has made certain representations in Section 2(p)
hereof, and (B) (i) except as set forth in Section 4(dd), following the public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, in accordance with the terms thereof, none of the Buyers have been asked by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries to agree, nor has any Buyer agreed with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to desist from effecting any transactions in or with respect to (including, without limitation, purchasing or selling, long and/or short) any
securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company or to hold any of the Securities for any specified term; (ii) except as set forth in Section 4(dd), any Buyer, and counterparties in “derivative”
transactions to which any such Buyer is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common Stock which was established prior to such Buyer’s knowledge of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents;
(iii) each Buyer shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counterparty in any “derivative” transaction; and (iv) each Buyer may rely on the Company’s obligation to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon
conversion, exercise or exchange, as applicable, of the Securities as and when required pursuant to the Transaction Documents for purposes of effecting trading in the Common Stock of the Company. The Company further understands and acknowledges
that following the public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents pursuant to the Press Release (as defined below) one or more Buyers may engage in hedging and/or trading activities (including, without limitation,
the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock) at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value and/or number of the Warrant Shares or
Conversion Shares, as applicable, deliverable with respect to the Securities are being determined and such hedging and/or trading activities (including, without limitation, the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock), if
any, can reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interest in the Company both at and after the time the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging and/or trading
activities, to the extent conducted in compliance with Section 4(dd), do not constitute a breach of this Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants or any other Transaction Document or any of the documents executed in connection herewith or therewith.
22

purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities (other than the Placement Agent), (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the

been remedied without material cost or liability or the duty to notify any other person or such, nor any incidents under internal review or investigations relating to the same except in each case, where such would not, either individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries are presently in compliance with all applicable laws or statutes and all judgments, orders, rules and regulations of any court or
arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority, internal policies and contractual obligations relating to the privacy and security of IT Systems and Personal Data and to the protection of such IT Systems and Personal Data from unauthorized use,
access, misappropriation or modification except in each case, where such would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect.
26

regulations, including without limitation HIPAA, and the Company and its Subsidiaries have taken commercially reasonable actions to prepare to comply with, and since May 25, 2018, have been and currently are in compliance with, the GDPR (EU

other than the equity interests in Target Merger Sub and SPAC Merger Sub.
(ww) Disclosure. Except as disclosed prior to the Closing Time, the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Buyers or their
agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute material, non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than the existence of the transactions contemplated by

respects as of the date on which such information is so provided and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the

(including results thereof) or financial conditions, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure at or before the date hereof or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly disclosed. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that no Buyer makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 2.
27
3A REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SPAC
The SPAC represents and warrants to each of the Buyers, the Target and the Company that, as of the date hereof:
(a) Organization and Qualification. Each of the SPAC and each of its SPAC Subsidiaries (as defined below) are entities duly organized and validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are formed, and have the requisite power and authority to own their properties and to carry on their business as now being conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. Each of the SPAC and
each of its SPAC Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary,
except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a SPAC Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). As used in this Agreement, “SPAC Material
Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on (i) the transactions contemplated hereby or in any of the other Transaction Documents or any other agreements or instruments to be entered into in connection herewith or therewith or
(iii) the authority or ability of the SPAC or any of its SPAC Subsidiaries to perform any of their respective obligations under any of the Transaction Documents (as defined below). Other than the Persons (as defined below) set forth on Schedule
3A(a), the SPAC has no SPAC Subsidiaries. “SPAC Subsidiaries” means any Person, excluding the Company, in which the SPAC, directly or indirectly, (I) owns more than twenty percent (20%) of the total voting
power of capital stock or other ownership interests entitled (without regard to the occurrence of any contingency) to vote in the election of the Person or Persons having the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies
thereof is at the time owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by that Person or one or more of the other subsidiaries of that Person or a combination thereof or (II) controls or operates more than 20% of the business, operations or
administration of such Person, and each of the foregoing, is individually referred to herein as a “SPAC Subsidiary.” The SPAC Subsidiaries, the Target Subsidiaries and the Subsidiaries are collectively

(b) Authorization; Enforcement; Xxxxxxxx. The SPAC has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which it is or will be a party execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by the SPAC, and the consummation by the SPAC of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly
authorized by the SPAC’s board of directors, and no further consent or authorization is required by the SPAC, its SPAC Subsidiaries, their respective boards of directors or their shareholders or other governing body. This Agreement has been, and
the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party will be prior to or upon the Closing, duly executed and delivered by the SPAC, and each constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the SPAC (assuming that this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents to which the SPAC is or will be a party are or will be upon execution thereof, as applicable, duly authorized, executed and delivered by the other Persons party thereto (if any)), enforceable against the SPAC in
accordance with its respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally,
the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies and except as rights to indemnification and to contribution may be limited by federal or state securities law.
28
(c) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the SPAC and its SPAC Subsidiaries and the consummation by the SPAC and its SPAC
Subsidiaries of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the certificate of formation, memorandum of association, articles of association, bylaws or other organizational documents of the SPAC or any of
its SPAC Subsidiaries, or any capital stock or other securities of the SPAC or any of its SPAC Subsidiaries, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) in any respect
under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the SPAC or any of its SPAC Subsidiaries is a party (including, without limitation, the Business
Combination Agreement), or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including, without limitation, foreign, federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of the Principal
Market and including all applicable foreign, federal and state laws, rules and regulations) to which the SPAC or any of its SPAC Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the SPAC or any of its SPAC Subsidiaries is subject or bound, except,
in the case of any of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, as would not have a SPAC Material Adverse Effect.
(d) Consents. Neither the SPAC nor any SPAC Subsidiary is required to obtain any consent from, approval of or authorization or order of, or make any designation, declaration or
filing or registration with (other than the Required Approvals), any Governmental Entity or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its respective obligations under or
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof. All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the SPAC or any SPAC Subsidiary is required to obtain pursuant to the
preceding sentence have been or will be obtained or effected on or prior to the Closing Date, and neither the SPAC nor any of its SPAC Subsidiaries are aware of any facts or circumstances which might prevent the SPAC or any of its SPAC Subsidiaries
from obtaining or effecting any of the registration, application or filings contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as disclosed in the SPAC SEC Documents, the SPAC is not in violation of the requirements of the Principal Market.
(e) No General Solicitation. Neither the SPAC, nor any of its SPAC Subsidiaries or affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general
solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.
(f) No Integrated Offering. None of the SPAC, its SPAC Subsidiaries or any of their affiliates, nor any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers
or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause this
offering of the Securities to require approval of shareholders of the SPAC for purposes of the 1933 Act or under any applicable shareholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or
automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the SPAC are listed or designated for quotation. None of the SPAC, its SPAC Subsidiaries, their affiliates nor any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps that would
require registration of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of any of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings of securities of the SPAC.
29
(g) SPAC SEC Documents; Financial Statements. During the two (2) years prior to the date hereof, the SPAC has timely (after giving effect to any applicable grace period or
extensions under applicable securities laws) filed all reports, schedules, forms, proxy statements, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act (all of the foregoing
filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits and appendices included therein and financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the “SPAC SEC Documents”). The SPAC has delivered or has made available to the Buyers or their respective representatives true, correct and complete copies of each of the SPAC SEC Documents not available on the XXXXX system. As of
their respective dates (except to the extent that information contained in any SPAC SEC Document has been superseded by a later timely filed SEC Report), the SPAC
SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SPAC SEC Documents, and none of the SPAC SEC Documents, at the time they were
filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the SPAC included in the SPAC SEC Documents complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the
SEC with respect thereto as in effect as of the time of filing, or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i)
as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all
material respects the financial position of the SPAC as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, (i) in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments which
will not be material, either individually or in the aggregate, and (ii) changes to historical accounting policies of the SPAC in connection with any order, directive, guideline, comment or recommendation from the SEC that is applicable to the
SPAC). To the knowledge of the SPAC, the investor presentation relating to the Business Combination attached hereto as Exhibit G does not as of the date hereof contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstance under which they are or were made. The SPAC is not currently contemplating to amend or restate any
of the financial statements (including, without limitation, any notes or any letter of the independent accountants of the SPAC with respect thereto) included in the SPAC SEC Documents (the “SPAC Financial Statements”),
nor is the SPAC currently aware of facts or circumstances which would require the SPAC to amend or restate any of the SPAC Financial Statements, in each case, in order for any of the SPAC Financials Statements to be in compliance with GAAP and the
rules and regulations of the SEC. The SPAC has not been informed by its independent accountants that they recommend that the SPAC amend or restate any of the SPAC Financial Statements or that there is any need for the SPAC to amend or restate any
of the SPAC Financial Statements.

regulation, requires public disclosure at or before the date hereof or announcement by the Target but which has not been so publicly disclosed. The Target acknowledges and agrees that no Buyer makes or has made any representations or warranties

Entity, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, stockholders or agents, for any such disclosure. To the extent that any BC Entity delivers any material, non-public information to a Buyer without such
Xxxxx’s consent, each BC Party hereby covenants and agrees that such Buyer shall not have any duty of confidentiality with respect to, or a duty not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information. Subject to the foregoing,
neither the BC Entities nor any Buyer shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Buyer,

law or pursuant to other routine proceedings of regulatory authorities, or to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the rules and regulations of the Principal Market
or Eligible Market, as applicable, in which case the Company or the SPAC will provide the Buyer with prior written notice (including by e-mail) of such disclosure to the extent such announcements or other communications do not contain
information previously disclosed in a public statement, press release or other communication that was approved by the Buyer in accordance with this Section 4(i). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary and without
implication that the contrary would otherwise be true, each BC Party expressly acknowledges and agrees that no Buyer shall have (unless expressly agreed to by a particular Buyer after the date hereof in a written definitive and binding
agreement executed by the applicable BC Party and such particular Buyer (it being understood and agreed that no Buyer may bind any other Buyer with respect thereto)), any duty of confidentiality with respect to, or a duty not to trade on the
basis of, any material, non-public information regarding any BC Entity.
40

securities that are not the Registrable Securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to the Business Combination, a registration statement on Form S-8, a registration statement filed pursuant to the Investor Rights
Agreement (as defined in the Notes), or such supplements or amendments the foregoing registration statements or to registration statements that are outstanding and have been declared effective by the SEC as of the date hereof (solely to the extent
necessary to keep such registration statements effective and available and not with respect to any Subsequent Placement (as defined below))). “Applicable Date” means the earlier of (x) the first date on
which the resale by the Buyers of all the Registrable Securities required to be filed on the initial Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the
SEC (and each prospectus contained therein is available for use on such date) or (y) the first date on which all of the Registrable Securities are eligible to be resold by the Buyers pursuant to Rule 144 (or, if a Current Public Information Failure
has occurred and is continuing, such later date after which the Company has cured such Current Public Information Failure).
(k) Additional Issuance of Securities. So long as any Buyer beneficially owns any Notes or Warrants, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Required
Holders, issue any Notes (other than to the Buyers as contemplated hereby) and the Company shall not issue any other securities that would cause a breach or default under the Notes or the Warrants.
(l) Reservation of Shares. So long as any of the Notes or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for
the purpose of issuance, no less than the sum of (i) 100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all the Notes then outstanding (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the Notes are convertible at the Alternate
Conversion Price then in effect, (y) interest on the Notes shall accrue through the forty-five month anniversary of the Closing Date and will be converted in shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the Alternate Conversion Price then
in effect and (z) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Notes set forth in the Notes), and (ii) the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of all the Warrants then outstanding
(without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth therein) (collectively, the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock
reserved pursuant to this Section 4(l) be reduced other than proportionally in connection with any conversion, exercise and/or redemption, as applicable of Notes and Warrants. If at any time the number of
shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a
sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in the case of an insufficient number of
authorized shares, obtain stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the management shares of the Company in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure that the number of
authorized shares is sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount.
(m) Conduct of Business. The business of the BC Entities shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any Governmental Entity, except where such
violations would not reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.
41
(n) Other Notes; Variable Securities. So long as any Notes remain outstanding, each of the BC Entities shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect
any Subsequent Placement involving a Variable Rate Transaction (other than an equity line of credit provided by an investment bank or an “at-the-market” offering). “Variable Rate Transaction” means a
transaction in which any BC Entity (i) issues or sells any Convertible Securities either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of
Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities or
upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of one or more BC Entities or the market for the Common Stock, other than pursuant to a customary “weighted average” anti-dilution provision or
(ii) enters into any agreement (other than an equity line of credit provided by an investment bank or an “at-the-market” offering) whereby one or more BC Entities may sell securities at a future determined price (other than standard and customary
“preemptive” or “participation” rights). Each Buyer shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against any BC Entity to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages. “Subsequent Placement” means any, direct or indirect, issuance, offer, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announcement of any issuance, offer, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or
other disposition of) any equity security or any equity-linked or related security (including, without limitation, any “equity security” (as that term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the 1933 Act), any Convertible Securities (as defined
below), any debt, any preferred stock or any purchase rights) of any BC Entity.
(o) Participation Right. At any time on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, no BC Entity shall, directly or indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement unless
the Company shall have first complied with this Section 4(o). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the right set forth in this Section 4(o) is a right granted by the Company, separately, to each Buyer.
(i) At least five (5) Trading Days prior to any proposed or intended Subsequent
Placement, the Company shall deliver to each Buyer a written notice (each such notice, a “Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall not contain any information (including, without limitation, material, non-public information) other than: (A) if the
proposed Offer Notice (as defined below) constitutes or contains material, non-public information, a statement asking whether the Investor is willing to accept material non-public information or (B) if the proposed Offer Notice does not
constitute or contain material, non-public information, (x) a statement that the Company proposes or intends to effect a Subsequent Placement, (y) a statement that the statement in clause (x) above does not constitute material, non-public
information and (z) a statement informing such Buyer that it is entitled to receive an Offer Notice (as defined below) with respect to such Subsequent Placement upon its written request. Upon the written request of a Buyer within three (3)
Trading Days after the Company’s delivery to such Buyer of such Pre-Notice, and only upon a written request by such Buyer, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver to such Buyer an
irrevocable written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “Offer”) of the securities being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (A) identify
and describe the Offered Securities, (B) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (C) identify the Persons (if
known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (D) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Buyer in accordance with the terms of the Offer such Buyer’s pro rata portion of 5% of
the Offered Securities, provided that the number of Offered Securities which such Buyer shall have the right to subscribe for under this Section 4(o) shall be (x) based on such Buyer’s pro rata portion of the aggregate original principal amount
of the Notes purchased hereunder by all Buyers (the “Basic Amount”), and (y) with respect to each Buyer that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Buyers
as such Buyer shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Buyers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”), which process shall be repeated until each Buyer shall have an opportunity to
subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription Amount.
42
(ii) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Buyer must deliver a written
notice to the Company prior to the end of the fifth (5th) Business Day after such Buyer’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of such Buyer’s Basic Amount that such Buyer elects to purchase and, if such
Buyer shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Buyer elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Buyers are less than the
total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Buyer who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has
subscribed for; provided, however, if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”), each Buyer who
has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Buyer bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Buyers that have subscribed for
Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Company to the extent it deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration
of the Offer Period, the Company may deliver to each Buyer a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on the fifth (5th) Business Day after such Xxxxx’s receipt of such new Offer Notice.
(iii) The Company shall have five (5) Business Days from the expiration of the
Offer Period above (A) to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by a Buyer (the “Refused Securities”) pursuant to a definitive agreement(s) (the
“Subsequent Placement Agreement”), but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable
to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice and (B) to publicly announce (x) the execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, and (y) either (I) the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (II) the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any
documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.
43
(iv) In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused
Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 4(o)(iii) above), then each Buyer may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, withdraw its Notice of Acceptance or reduce the number or amount of the
Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such Buyer elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4(o)(ii) above multiplied by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Buyers pursuant to this Section 4(o) prior to such
reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Buyer so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company
may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Buyers in accordance with Section 4(o)(i) above.
(v) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all
of the Refused Securities, such Buyer shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to such Buyer, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4(o)(iv) above if
such Buyer has so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by such Buyer of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and such Buyer of a
separate purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such Buyer and its counsel.
(vi) Any Offered Securities not acquired by a Buyer or other Persons in
accordance with this Section 4(o) may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to such Buyer under the procedures specified in this Agreement.
(vii) The Company and each Buyer agree that if any Buyer elects to participate
in the Offer, (x) neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the “Subsequent Placement Documents”) shall include any term or provision whereby such
Buyer shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any securities of the Company or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, any
agreement previously entered into with the Company or any instrument received from the Company, and (y) any registration rights set forth in such Subsequent Placement Documents shall be similar in all material respects to the registration
rights contained in the Registration Rights Agreement.
44
(viii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(o) and unless
otherwise agreed to by such Buyer, the Company shall either confirm in writing to such Buyer that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the Offered
Securities, in either case, in such a manner such that such Buyer will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the fifth (5th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice. If by such fifth (5th) Business Day,
no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Buyer, such transaction shall be deemed to have been
abandoned and such Buyer shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Should the Company decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities,
the Company shall provide such Buyer with another Offer Notice and such Buyer will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section 4(o). The Company shall not be permitted to deliver more than one such Offer Notice to such
Buyer in any sixty (60) day period, except as expressly contemplated by the last sentence of Section 4(o)(ii).
(ix) The restrictions contained in this Section 4(o) shall not apply in
connection with the issuance of any Excluded Securities (as defined in the Notes). The Company shall not circumvent the provisions of this Section 4(o) by providing terms or conditions to one Buyer that are not provided to all.
(p) Dilutive Issuances. For so long as any Notes or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall not, in any manner, enter into or affect any Dilutive Issuance (as defined in the
Notes) if the effect of such Dilutive Issuance is to cause the Company to be required to issue upon conversion of any Notes or exercise of any Warrant any shares of Common Stock in excess of that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company
may issue upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market.
(q) Passive Foreign Investment Company. Following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company shall conduct its business, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to conduct their
respective businesses, in such a manner as will ensure that the Company will not be deemed to constitute a passive foreign investment company within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code.
(r) Restriction on Redemption and Cash Dividends. So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem, or declare or pay any cash dividend
or distribution on, any securities of the Company without the prior express written consent of the Buyers.
(s) Corporate Existence. So long as any Buyer beneficially owns any Notes or Warrants, the Company shall not be party to any Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Notes)
unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Notes and the Warrants.
(t) Stock Splits. Until the Notes and all notes issued pursuant to the terms thereof are no longer outstanding, the Company shall not effect any stock combination, reverse stock
split or other similar transaction (or make any public announcement or disclosure with respect to any of the foregoing) without the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined below); provided, however, that the Company may effect one
(1) stock combination, reverse stock split or other similar transaction if necessary to comply with the requirements of the Principal Market without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.
45
(u) Conversion and Exercise Procedures. Each of the form of Exercise Notice (as defined in the Warrants) included in the Warrants and the form of Conversion Notice (as defined in
the Notes) included in the Notes set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Buyers in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Notes. Except as provided in Section 5(d), no additional legal opinion, other information or
instructions shall be required of the Buyers to exercise their Warrants or convert their Notes. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and conversions of the Notes and shall deliver the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in accordance
with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Notes and Warrants.
(v) Collateral Agent. Each Buyer hereby (i) appoints Allegro Management LLC, as the collateral agent hereunder and under the other Security Documents (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), and (ii) authorizes the Collateral Agent (and its officers, directors, employees and agents) to take such action on such Buyer’s behalf in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The
Collateral Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or any of the other Security Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Buyer. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall have any
liability to any Buyer for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection hereof or any other Security Document except to the extent caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, and each Buyer agrees to defend, protect,
indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and all of its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Collateral Agent Indemnitees”) from and against any losses, damages, liabilities,
obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Collateral Agent Indemnitee, whether direct, indirect or consequential,
arising from or in connection with the performance by such Collateral Agent Indemnitee of the duties and obligations of Collateral Agent pursuant hereto or any of the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise any
discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Holders, and such instructions shall be binding upon
all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, exposes the Collateral Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document or applicable law. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine
and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected
by it.
(w) Successor Collateral Agent.
(i) The Collateral Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions
and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents at any time by giving at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice to the Company and each holder of Notes. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a
successor Collateral Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) below or as otherwise provided below. If at any time the Collateral Agent (together with its affiliates) beneficially owns less than $100,000 in aggregate principal
amount of Notes, the Required Holders may, by written consent, remove the Collateral Agent from all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents.
46
(ii) Upon any such notice of resignation or removal, the Required Holders shall
appoint a successor collateral agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor agent, such successor collateral agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the collateral agent, and the Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. After the Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder
as the collateral agent, the provisions of this Section 4(w) shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(iii) If a successor collateral agent shall not have been so appointed within
ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a written notice of resignation or removal, the Collateral Agent shall then appoint a successor collateral agent who shall serve as the Collateral Agent until such time, if any, as the Required Holders
appoint a successor collateral agent as provided above.
(iv) In the event that a successor Collateral Agent is appointed pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 4(w) that is not a Buyer or an affiliate of any Buyer (or the Required Holders or the Collateral Agent (or its successor), as applicable, notify the Company that they or it wants to appoint such a successor
Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Section 4(w)), the Company and each Subsidiary thereof covenants and agrees to promptly take all actions reasonably requested by the Required Holders or the Collateral Agent (or its successor), as
applicable, from time to time, to secure a successor Collateral Agent reasonably satisfactory to the requesting part(y)(ies), in their sole discretion, including, without limitation, by paying all reasonable and customary fees and expenses of
such successor Collateral Agent, by having the Company and each Subsidiary thereof agree to indemnify any successor Collateral Agent pursuant to reasonable and customary terms and by each of the Company and each Subsidiary thereof executing a
collateral agency agreement or similar agreement and/or any amendment to the Security Documents reasonably requested or required by the successor Collateral Agent.
(x) Regulation M. The Company will not take any action prohibited by Regulation M under the 1934 Act, in connection with the distribution of the Securities contemplated hereby.
(y) General Solicitation. None of the Company, any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act) or any person acting on behalf of the Company or such affiliate
will solicit any offer to buy or offer or sell the Securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Regulation D, including: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication
published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio; and (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.
47
(z) Integration. None of the Company, any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act), or any person acting on behalf of the Company or such affiliate will
sell, offer for sale, or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in the 1933 Act) which will be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner which would require the registration of the
Securities under the 1933 Act or require stockholder approval under the rules and regulations of the Principal Market and the Company will take all action that is appropriate or necessary to assure that its offerings of other securities will not be
integrated for purposes of the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, with the issuance of Securities contemplated hereby.
(aa) Notice of Disqualification Events. The Company will notify the Buyers in writing, prior to the Closing Date of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered
Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person.
(bb) Subsidiary Guarantee. For so long as any Notes remain outstanding, upon any entity becoming a direct, or indirect, Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) of the
Company, the Company shall cause each such Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Subsidiary) to become party to the Guaranty by executing a joinder to the Guaranty reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Required Holders.
(cc) No Waiver of Lock-Up Provision of Investor Rights Agreement. Following the closing of the Business Combination, neither Company, nor the Target, shall amend, waive, modify or
fail to use best efforts to enforce the lock-up provision of the Investor Rights Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no Buyer shall be a third party beneficiary of the Investor Rights Agreement.
(dd) Restrictions on Short Sales. Each Buyer, severally and not jointly, agrees that, until the six month anniversary of the Closing Date, such Buyer shall not engage in any Short
Sales or establish any Put Equivalent Position of the securities of the SPAC or the Company and, from and after the six month anniversary of the Closing Date, such Buyer shall not engage in any Short Sales (excluding any sales of Common Stock then
held by such Buyer at a time such Buyer has an existing “short” position) or establish any Put Equivalent Position of the securities of the Company, as applicable, at a time the VWAP of the Common Stock is less than $10.00 per share (as adjusted
for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events).
(ee) Transfer Taxes All stock transfer or other similar taxes (other than income or similar taxes) which are required to be paid in connection with the issuance, sale and transfer
of the Securities to be sold to each Buyer hereunder shall be fully paid by the Company.
48
5. REGISTER; TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS; LEGEND.
(a) Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of
Securities), a register for the Notes and the Warrants in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Notes and the Warrants have been issued (including the name and
address of each transferee), the principal amount of the Notes held by such Person, the number of Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such
Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of any Buyer or its legal representatives.
(b) Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent and any subsequent transfer agent (as applicable, the “Transfer Agent”) in a form acceptable to each of the Buyers (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance
accounts at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to
time by each Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Notes or the exercise of the Warrants (as the case may be) upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement or resale in accordance with Rule 144, as applicable. The Company represents and
warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5(b), and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(g) hereof, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent with
respect to the Securities, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects a
sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with Section 2(g), the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance
accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares sold, assigned or
transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144, the transfer agent shall issue such shares to such Buyer, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with
Section 5(d) below. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this
Section 5(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5(b), that a Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or
injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion
referred to in the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to the Company’s transfer agent on each Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, counsel to the Company or otherwise)
associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of any legends on any of the Securities shall be borne by the Company.
(c) Legends. Each Buyer understands that the Securities have been issued (or will be issued in the case of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares) pursuant to an exemption
from registration or qualification under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, and except as set forth below, the Securities shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in
substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):
49
[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE [CONVERTIBLE] [EXERCISABLE] HAVE BEEN][THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. 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.
(d) Removal of Legends. Certificates evidencing Securities shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in Section 5(c) above or any other legend (i) while a registration
statement (including a Registration Statement) covering the resale of such Securities is effective under the 1933 Act, (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an affiliate of the Company),
(iii) if such Securities are eligible to be sold, assigned or transferred under Rule 144 (provided that a Buyer and its broker provide the Company with customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and its
transfer agent, which shall not include an opinion of Buyer’s counsel), (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144), provided that such Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel to such
Buyer, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable
requirements of the 1933 Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the SEC). If a legend is not required pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall no later than two (2) Trading Days
(or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated on the date such Buyer delivers such legended certificate representing such Securities to the Company)
following the delivery by a Buyer to the Company or the transfer agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing such Securities (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form
necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), together with any other deliveries from such Buyer as may be required above in this Section 5(d), as directed by such Buyer, either: (A) provided that the Company’s transfer agent
is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”) and such Securities are Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, credit the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such
Buyer shall be entitled to such Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (B) if the Company’s transfer agent is not participating in FAST, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight
courier) to such Buyer, a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of such Buyer or its designee (the date by which such credit is so required to be made to the balance
account of such Buyer’s or such Buyer’s designee with DTC or such certificate is required to be delivered to such Buyer pursuant to the foregoing is referred to herein as the “Required Delivery Date”, and the
date such shares of Common Stock are actually delivered without restrictive legend to such Buyer or such Buyer’s designee with DTC, as applicable, the “Share Delivery Date”). The Company shall be responsible
for any transfer agent fees or DTC fees with respect to any issuance of Securities or the removal of any legends with respect to any Securities in accordance herewith.
50
(e) Failure to Timely Deliver; Buy-In. If the Company fails, for any reason or for no reason, to issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Buyer (or its designee) by the
Required Delivery Date, either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, a certificate for the number of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) to which such Buyer is entitled and register such Conversion Shares or
Warrant Shares (as the case may be) on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit the balance account of such Buyer or such Buyer’s designee with DTC for such number of Conversion Shares or Warrant
Shares (as the case may be) submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above or (II) if the Registration Statement covering the resale of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) submitted for legend
removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above (the “Unavailable Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Shares and the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than as
required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (x) so notify such Buyer and (y) deliver the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Conversion
Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above to such Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event
described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a “Notice Failure” and together with the event described in clause (I) above, a “Delivery Failure”),
then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Buyer, the Company shall pay in cash to such Buyer on each day after the Share Delivery Date and during such Delivery Failure an amount equal to 2% of the product of (A) the sum of the
number of shares of Common Stock not issued to such Buyer on or prior to the Required Delivery Date and to which such Buyer is entitled, and (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by such Buyer in writing as in effect at any time during
the period beginning on the date of the delivery by such Buyer to the Company of the applicable Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior
to the Required Delivery Date either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to a Buyer and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the
Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, credit the balance account of such Buyer or such Buyer’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Buyer submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d)
above (ii) below or (II) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Trading Day such Buyer acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Buyer of shares

Days after such Buyer’s request and in such Buyer’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to such Buyer in an amount equal to such Buyer’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any)
for the shares of Common Stock so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of such Buyer) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so
deliver such certificate or credit such Buyer’s balance account shall terminate and such shares shall be cancelled, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so deliver to such Buyer a certificate or certificates or credit the balance account of
such Buyer or such Buyer’s designee with DTC representing such number of shares of Common Stock that would have been so delivered if the Company timely complied with its obligations hereunder and pay cash to such Buyer in an amount equal to the
excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) that the Company was required to deliver to such Buyer by the Required Delivery Date multiplied by (B) the
lowest Closing Sale Price (as defined in the Warrants) of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Buyer to the Company of the applicable Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case
may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii). Nothing shall limit such Xxxxx’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 certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) as required pursuant to the terms
hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any given Notice Failure and/or Delivery Failure, this Section 5(e) shall not apply to the applicable Buyer the extent the Company has already paid such amounts in full to
such Buyer with respect to such Notice Failure and/or Delivery Failure, as applicable, pursuant to the analogous sections of the Note or Warrant, as applicable, held by such Buyer.

56
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State
of New York, without giving effect to any provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each of the BC Parties
hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other
Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that such suit, action or proceeding may not be brought or maintained
in any such court, that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that
such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed or operate to preclude any Buyer from bringing suit or taking other legal action against any BC Party in any other jurisdiction to collect on any BC Party’s obligations to such Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of
such Xxxxx. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE
WAIVED. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER; (II) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THE FOREGOING WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
57
(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when
counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature
page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.
(c) Headings; Gender. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the
context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed
broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found, unless otherwise explicitly
specified herein.
(d) Severability; Maximum Payment Amounts. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall
not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited
nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred
upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or
unenforceable provision(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and without implication that the following is required or applicable), it is the intention of the parties that in
no event shall amounts and value paid by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries (as the case may be), or payable to or received by any of the Buyers, under the Transaction Documents (including without limitation, any amounts that would be
characterized as “interest” under applicable law) exceed amounts permitted under any applicable law. Accordingly, if any obligation to pay, payment made to any Buyer, or collection by any Buyer pursuant the Transaction Documents is finally
judicially determined to be contrary to any such applicable law, such obligation to pay, payment or collection shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of such Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries and such amount shall be deemed to
have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the applicable law. Such adjustment shall be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing or refunding, at
the option of such Buyer, the amount of interest or any other amounts which would constitute unlawful amounts required to be paid or actually paid to such Buyer under the Transaction Documents. For greater certainty, to the extent that any
interest, charges, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid to or received by such Buyer under any of the Transaction Documents or related thereto are held to be within the meaning of “interest” or another applicable term to otherwise be
violative of applicable law, such amounts shall be pro-rated over the period of time to which they relate.
58
(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein
and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, any BC Entity, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf, including, without limitation, any transactions by any Buyer with respect to Common Stock or
the Securities, and the other matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire
understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements
any Buyer has entered into with, or any instruments any Buyer has received from, any BC Entity prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Buyer in any BC Entity or (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect
any obligations of any BC Entity, or any rights of or benefits to any Buyer or any other Person, in any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among any BC Entity and any Buyer, or any instruments any Buyer received from any BC
Entity prior to the date hereof, in each case, unrelated to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and all such agreements and instruments shall continue in full force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede any legally binding terms set forth in that certain “Financing Term Sheet: Secured Convertible Promissory Note” signed by the Target and the lead buyer. Except as specifically set forth herein
or therein, neither any BC Party nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be
amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the BC Parties and the Required Holders (as defined below), and any amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding
on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable; provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (A) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding or (B) imposes any obligation or
liability on any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion); and provided further that the provisions of Sections 4(v) and 4(w) above cannot be amended or waived without the
additional prior written approval of the Collateral Agent or its successor. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party, provided that the Required Holders may waive any
provision of this Agreement, and any waiver of any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable, provided that no such waiver shall
be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding (unless a party gives a waiver as to itself only) or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior
written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Xxxxx’s sole discretion). No consideration (other than reimbursement of legal fees) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision
of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents, all holders of the Notes or all holders of the Warrants (as the case may be). From the date hereof and while any
Notes or Warrants are outstanding, no BC Entity shall be permitted to receive any consideration from a Buyer or a holder of Notes or Warrants that is not otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Documents in order to, directly or indirectly,
induce any BC Entity (i) to treat such Buyer or holder of Notes or Warrants in a manner that is more favorable than to other similarly situated Buyers or holders of Notes or Warrants, as applicable, or (ii) to treat any Buyer(s) or holder(s) of
Notes or Warrants in a manner that is less favorable than the Buyer or holder of Notes or Warrants that is paying such consideration; provided, however, that the determination of whether a Buyer has been treated more or less favorably than another
Buyer shall disregard any securities of the Company purchased or sold by any Buyer. No BC Entity has, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents.
59
Without limiting the foregoing, each BC Party confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer (other than the Bridge Buyer) has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to any BC Entity
or otherwise. As a material inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement, each BC Party expressly acknowledges and agrees that (x) no due diligence or other investigation or inquiry conducted by a Buyer, any of its advisors or any of its
representatives shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, such BC Party’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y)
unless a provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is expressly preceded by the phrase “except as disclosed in the SEC Documents,” nothing contained in any of the SEC Documents shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or
shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, such BC Party’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. “Required Holders” means (I) prior to the Closing Date, each Buyer
entitled to purchase Notes at the Closing and (II) on or after the Closing Date, each of Allegro Opportunities LLC and the Bridge Buyer.
(f) Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to
have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by electronic mail (provided that such sent email is kept on file (whether electronically or otherwise) by the sending party and the sending party does
not receive an automatically generated message from the recipient’s email server that such e-mail could not be delivered to such recipient); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next day delivery
specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The mailing addresses and e-mail addresses for such communications shall be:

or receipt from an overnight courier service in accordance with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively.
63
(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of
any of the Notes and Warrants. No BC Party shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, including, without limitation, by way of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined
in the Warrants) (unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Warrants) or a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Notes) (unless the Company is in compliance with the
applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Notes). Prior to the Closing, the Bridge Buyer may assign and transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the purchase of any or all Securities,
which would otherwise be purchased by the Bridge Buyer, to any other Person (each a “Permitted Assignee”), provided that the Bridge Buyer shall remain obligated to purchase such assigned Securities upon any
breach by any such Permitted Assignee hereunder. Upon such an assignment, the Schedule of Buyers shall be revised to reflect such assignment. A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights and obligations hereunder in connection with any transfer of
any of its Securities without the consent of but upon written notice (delivered promptly after the consummation of such assignment or transfer) to any BC Party and in compliance with any restrictions, limitations, requirements or procedures
relating to any such transfer contained in this agreement or any Transaction Document, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.
(h) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit
of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, other than the Indemnitees referred to in Section 9(k).
(i) Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants shall survive the Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties,
agreements and covenants hereunder.
(j) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other
agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
64
(k) Indemnification. In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of each BC
Party’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, each BC Party, severally, shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Buyer and each holder of any Securities that is party to this
Agreement and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees,
liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and
disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by any BC
Entity in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of any BC Entity contained in any of the Transaction Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such
Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of any BC Entity) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement
of any of the Transaction Documents, (B) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (C) any disclosure properly made by such Buyer pursuant to
Section 4(i), or (D) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities either as an investor in any BC Entity pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation,
as a party in interest or otherwise in any action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief); provided, that in no event shall the Indemnified Liabilities include any actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs,
penalties, fees, liabilities or damages or expenses to the extent arising from, resulting from or relating to any conduct by any Buyer which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by a BC
Entity may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the
mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 9(k) shall be the same as those set forth in Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement.
(l) Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction
will be applied against any party. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, shares of Common Stock and any other
numbers in this Agreement that relate to the Common Stock shall be automatically adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock after
the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty against, or a prohibition of, any actions with respect to
the borrowing of, arrangement to borrow, identification of the availability of, and/or securing of, securities of the Company in order for such Buyer (or its broker or other financial representative) to effect short sales or similar transactions in
the future.
65
(m) Remedies. Each Buyer and in the event of assignment by Buyer of its rights and obligations hereunder, each holder of Securities, shall have all rights and remedies set forth in
the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any 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 by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by
law. Furthermore, each party hereto recognizes that in the event that such party fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may be inadequate relief
to one or more other parties hereto. Each party hereto therefore agrees that each party hereto shall be entitled to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent
jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all
other remedies available under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).
(n) Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises
a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and any BC Entity does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to
time upon written notice to such applicable BC Entity, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
(o) Payment Set Aside; Currency. To the extent that a BC Entity makes a payment or payments to any Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or any of
the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set
aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to such BC Entity, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal
law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been
made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are in United States Dollars (“U.S.
Dollars”), and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in
accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant
to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.
(p) Judgment Currency.
66
(i) If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any BC Entity
in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 9(p) referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in US Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Trading Day immediately preceding:
(1) the date actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in
the courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date: or
(2) the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any
proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 9(p)(i)(2) being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).
(ii) If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred
to in Section 9(p)(i)(2) above, there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to
ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of US Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated
in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.
(iii) Any amount due from any BC Entity under this provision shall be due as a
separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(q) Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other
Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant
hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and each BC Party acknowledges that the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that
the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity, and no BC Entity shall assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and each BC Party
acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group, and no BC Entity shall assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Buyer to
purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with such Buyer making its
investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as agent of such Buyer in connection with monitoring such Xxxxx’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each BC Party and each Buyer
confirms that each Buyer has independently participated with the BC Entities in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and
enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose. The use of a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of the BC Parties, not the action or decision of any Buyer, and was done solely for the convenience of the
BC Entities and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between applicable BC Entities and a
Buyer, solely, and not between the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.
