The Notes and Warrants to be purchased by the Investor, the Conversion Securities issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants will be acquired for investment for the Investor’s own account and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Such Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement, or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer, or grant participation to any person with respect to any of the Note or Conversion Securities.
3.3 Disclosure of Information. The Investor acknowledges that it has received and has had the chance to review, all the information that it has requested relating to the Company and the purchase of the Notes and Warrants, including, but not limited to, the Investor Presentation, which includes Risk Factors, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Company Disclosure Materials”). In addition to the foregoing, such Investor acknowledges that it has been afforded: (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Notes and Warrants and the merits and risks of investing in the Notes and Warrants; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.

3.4 Information on Investor. Such Investor is, and will be at the time of the conversion of the Notes, if any, an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act and as set forth on the Investor Questionnaire in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D (the “Investor Questionnaire”), is
experienced in investments and business matters, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and other business matters as to enable such Investor to utilize the information made available by the Company to evaluate the merits and risks of, and to make an informed investment decision with respect to, the proposed purchase, which such Investor hereby agrees represents a speculative high-risk investment. Such Investor has the authority and is duly and legally qualified to purchase and own the Notes and Warrants. Such Investor is and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, able to bear the risk of such investment for an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof.
3.5 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Notes, Warrants, and Conversion Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, are and will be characterized as “Restricted Securities” under federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering, and such Investor shall not sell, offer to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any of the Notes, Warrants or Conversion Securities unless pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or unless an exemption from registration is available. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, such Investor may transfer (without restriction and without the need for an opinion of counsel) the Notes and Warrants to its Affiliates, provided that each such Affiliate is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined under Regulation D, and such Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, an “Affiliate” of any person or entity means any other person or entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such person or entity.

Investor has reviewed the Risk Factors included in the Company Disclosure Materials.
3.7 General Solicitation. The offer to sell the Notes and Warrants was directly communicated to such Investor by the Company or the Placement Agent.

result of any seminar or meeting to which the Investor was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Investor.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY, TO THE EFFECT THAT THE PROPOSED SALE, TRANSFER, OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTUATED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT.”
3.9 For ERISA plans only. The fiduciary of the ERISA plan (the “Plan”) represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the Company’s investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest “plan assets” (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities. Investor fiduciary or Plan (a) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (b) is independent of the Company or any of its affiliates; (c) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (d) in making such decision, Investor fiduciary or Plan has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its affiliates

Interest shall commence with the date hereof and shall continue on the outstanding principal amount until paid in full or converted. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days for the actual number of days elapsed.

1. BASIC TERMS.
(a) Series of Notes. This Convertible Promissory Note is one in a series of similar convertible promissory notes (this “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”) issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated May , 2022 (as amended from time to time and including the exhibits thereto, the “SPA”) by and among the Company and each of purchasers of Notes. The Company shall maintain a ledger of all Holders of Notes.

(c) Prepayment. Except as set forth in Section 2(a), the Company may not prepay this Note prior to the Maturity Date without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes issued pursuant under this Note Series (the “Majority Holders”).
2. CONVERSION AND REPAYMENT.
(a) Conversion upon Identified SPAC Transaction. The Holder will receive notice from the Company no later than five (5) days following the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 filed by the Identified SPAC (as defined below) in connection with the Identified SPAC Transaction (as defined below) (the “Registration Notice”). If, on or before the Maturity Date, the Company consummates an Identified SPAC Transaction (as defined below) while this Note remains outstanding, then the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any unpaid accrued interest shall automatically convert in whole without any further action by the Holder into shares of common stock of the Identified SPAC upon the consummation of such Identified SPAC Transaction (the “SPAC Closing”) at a price per share equal to (i) the deemed consideration paid to stockholders of the Company for each share of Common Stock in such Identified SPAC Transaction (expected to be $10.00 per share split adjusted) multiplied by (ii) one minus 10% (10% being the “Discount Percentage”); provided that at the written election of Holder within five (5) days following delivery of the Registration Notice, Holder may elect to have this Note accelerated on the date of such SPAC Closing and the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus any unpaid accrued interest on the original principal will be due and payable in cash two (2) business days following the SPAC Closing. For purposes of this Note, the “Identified SPAC Transaction” means a business combination transaction by and between the Company and Isleworth Healthcare Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (or any successor entity) (the “Identified SPAC”).
(b) Conversion upon a Qualified Listing Event. If, on or before the Maturity Date, the Company, a corporate successor to the Company or a holding company established with respect to the Company’s equity securities in connection with any of the following transactions (a “Public Issuer”) consummates (i) a listing of common stock of the Company (or the common equity of such Public Issuer) through acquisition by or merger of such Public Issuer with a special purpose acquisition company (a “SPAC”) listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ other than the Identified SPAC, in which the resulting parent company in such transaction realizes total proceeds from such business combination, including the SPAC cash in trust and any private placement effected concurrently with such business combination of at least $50 million (a “Qualified SPAC Combination”), (ii) a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, with gross proceeds of at least $50 million to the Public Issuer (before deduction of underwriters commissions and expenses) (a “Qualified IPO”), or (iii) a direct listing of common stock of the Company (or the common equity securities of the Public Issuer) on the NYSE or Nasdaq with a minimum market capitalization of at least $200 million, based on the reference price for such direct listing (a “Qualified Direct Listing” and together with a Qualified SPAC Combination and a Qualified IPO, a “Qualified Listing Event”), then the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any unpaid accrued interest shall automatically convert in whole without any further action by the Holder into the shares issued in such Qualified Listing Event. Such conversion will occur at a conversion price equal to (i) the per share price in the Qualified SPAC Combination, the offering price in the Qualified IPO or the per share reference price in such Qualified Direct Listing, as applicable, multiplied by (ii) one minus the Discount Percentage.
(c) Conversion upon a Qualified Financing. If, on or before the Maturity Date, the Company issues and sells shares of its equity securities (“Equity Securities”) to investors (the “Investors”) while this Note remains outstanding in an equity financing other than in the Identified SPAC Transaction or a Qualified Listing Event with total proceeds to the Company of not less than $50,000,000 (excluding the conversion of the Notes or other convertible securities issued for capital raising purposes (e.g., Simple Agreements for Future Equity)), (a “Qualified Financing”), then the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any unpaid accrued interest shall automatically convert in whole without any further action by the Holder into Equity Securities sold in the Qualified Financing at a conversion price equal to (x) the price paid per share for Equity Securities by the Investors in the Qualified Financing for cash multiplied by (y) one minus the Discount Percentage. The issuance of Equity Securities pursuant to the conversion of this Note shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to Equity Securities sold in the Qualified Financing. Notwithstanding this paragraph, if the conversion price of the Notes as determined
pursuant to this paragraph (the “QF Conversion Price”) is less than the price per share at which Equity Securities are issued in the Qualified Financing, the Company may, solely at its option, elect to convert this Note into shares of a newly created series of preferred stock of the Company having the identical rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions as Equity Securities issued in the Qualified Financing, and otherwise on the same terms and conditions, other than with respect to (if applicable): (i) the per share liquidation preference and the conversion price for purposes of price-based anti-dilution protection, which will equal the QF Conversion Price; and (ii) the per share dividend, which will be the same percentage of the QF Conversion Price as applied to determine the per share dividends of the Investors in the Qualified Financing relative to the purchase price paid by the Investors.
(d) Elective Conversion. If, on or before the Maturity Date, the Company consummates, while this Note remains outstanding, an equity financing for capital raising purposes with Investors pursuant to which it sells Equity Securities in a transaction that does not constitute a Qualified Financing, Qualified Listing Event or the Identified SPAC Transaction (a “Non-Qualified Financing”), then the Majority Holders shall have the option to elect to convert the outstanding principal amount of this Note (and all other Notes issued pursuant to the SPA on the same terms as this Note) and any unpaid accrued interest into the Equity Securities sold in the Non-Qualified Financing at a conversion price equal to (i) the price paid per share for Equity Securities by the Investors in the Non-Qualified Financing multiplied by (ii) one minus the Discount Percentage.
(e) Conversion at Maturity. In the event this Note has not been repaid or converted prior to the Maturity Date, then, effective upon the Maturity Date, this Note will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s Series Next Preferred Stock (as defined below) at a price per share equal to the quotient resulting from dividing $300,000,000 (the “Conversion Cap”) by the number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company immediately prior to the Maturity Date (assuming conversion of all securities convertible into common stock and exercise of all outstanding options and warrants, but excluding the shares of Series Next Preferred Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes or other convertible securities issued for capital raising purposes (e.g., Simple Agreements for Future Equity)) (the “Maturity Conversion Price”). For purposes of this Note, the “Series Next Preferred Stock” will mean a newly created series of preferred stock of the Company pari passu with and having the identical rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions to the Company’s most senior outstanding series of preferred stock (the “Existing Senior Preferred Stock”), and otherwise on the same terms and conditions, other than with respect to (if applicable): (i) the per share liquidation preference and the conversion price for purposes of price-based anti-dilution protection, which will equal the Maturity Conversion Price; and (ii) the per share dividend, which will be the same percentage of the Maturity Conversion Price as applied to determine the per share dividend applicable to the Existing Senior Preferred Stock relative to the purchase price paid for such Existing Senior Preferred Stock.
(f) Change of Control. If on or before the Maturity Date, the Company consummates a Change of Control (as defined below) while this Note remains outstanding, the Company shall repay the Holder in cash in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus any unpaid accrued interest on the original principal, plus a repayment premium equal to the product of 10% and the outstanding principal amount of this Note or (ii) the equity value of this Note assuming the Note had been converted into Common Stock at a price per share equal to the quotient resulting from dividing the Conversion Cap by the number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control (assuming conversion of all securities convertible into common stock and exercise of all outstanding options and warrants, but excluding the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes or other convertible securities issued for capital raising purposes (e.g., Simple Agreements for Future Equity)); provided, that the payment of such sum upon a Change of Control shall be contingent upon the execution by the Holder of such transaction documents as may be required by the holders of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of
the Change of Control and take such further actions as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with such Change of Control. For purposes of this Note, a “Change of Control” means (i) a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, other than any such consolidation, merger or reorganization in which the shares of capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization continue to represent a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization; (ii) any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is a party in which in excess of 50% of the Company’s voting power is transferred; or (iii) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or the exclusive license of all or substantially all of the Company’s material intellectual property; provided that a Change of Control shall not include any the Identified SPAC Transaction, any Qualified Listing Event or any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by the Company or any successor, indebtedness of the Company is cancelled or converted or a combination thereof. The Company shall give the Holder notice of a Change of Control not less than 10 days prior to the anticipated date of consummation of the Change of Control. Any repayment pursuant to this paragraph in connection with a Change of Control shall be subject to any required tax withholdings, and may be made by the Company (or any party to such Change of Control or its agent) following the Change of Control in connection with payment procedures established in connection with such Change of Control.
(g) Procedure for Conversion. In connection with any conversion of this Note into capital stock, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company and deliver to the Company any documentation reasonably required by the Company (including, in the case of a Qualified Financing, the same financing documents executed by the Investors in connection with such Qualified Financing). The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver the capital stock into which this Note may convert until the Holder has surrendered this Note to the Company and delivered to the Company any such documentation. Upon the conversion of this Note into capital stock pursuant to the terms hereof, in lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay the Holder cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the price at which this Note converts.
(h) Interest Accrual. If a Change of Control, Identified SPAC Transaction, Qualified Listing Event, or Qualified Financing is consummated, all interest on this Note shall be deemed to have stopped accruing as of a date selected by the Company that is up to 5 days prior to the signing of the definitive agreement for the Change of Control, Identified SPAC Transaction, Qualified Listing Event, or Qualified Financing.

In the absence of a conversion event pursuant to Section 2(a), 2(b) or 2(c) on or prior to the Maturity Date, Holder shall be entitled to piggyback registration rights consistent with and on terms no less favorable to the Holder than those held by investors under that certain Investors’ Rights Agreement by and among the Company and the other parties thereto, dated as of September 12, 2021, which agreement will be made available to Holder upon request. All of the foregoing registration rights will also apply to any Exercise Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant issued to Holder under the SPA.

(c) “Exercise Period” shall mean the period commencing on the date of conversion of the Note pursuant to Section 2(a), 2(b), 2(c), 2(d), 2(e) or 2(f)(ii) of the Note and ending on the fifth anniversary of such commencement date, unless sooner terminated as provided below.

2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
2.1 Exercise. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, by delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth in Section 12 (or at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder):
(a) An executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A;
(b) Payment of the Exercise Price with respect to each Exercise Share to be issued upon such exercise, either (i) in cash or by check or (ii) by cancellation of indebtedness; and
(c) This Warrant.
2.2 Mechanics of Exercise. Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Exercise Shares so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder or persons affiliated with the Holder, if the Holder so designates, shall be issued and delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised. In the event that this Warrant is being exercised for less than all of the then-current number of Exercise Shares purchasable hereunder, then the Company shall, concurrently with the issuance by the Company of the number of Exercise Shares for which this Warrant is then being exercised, issue a new Warrant exercisable for the remaining number of Exercise Shares purchasable hereunder. The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
3. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.
4. REPRESENTATIONS OF HOLDER.
4.1 Acquisition of Warrant for Personal Account. The Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring the Warrant and the Exercise Shares solely for its account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or distribution of said Warrant or Exercise Shares or any part thereof. The Holder also represents that the entire legal and beneficial interests of the Warrant and Exercise Shares the Holder is acquiring is being acquired for, and will be held for, its account only.
4.2 Securities Are Not Registered.
(a) The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) on the basis that no distribution or public offering of the stock of the Company is to be effected. The Holder realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, the Holder has a present intention of acquiring the securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, selling (in connection with a
distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the securities. The Holder has no such present intention.
(b) The Holder recognizes that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder recognizes that the Company has no obligation to register the Warrant or the Exercise Shares of the Company, or to comply with any exemption from such registration.
(c) The Holder is aware that neither the Warrant nor the Exercise Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Act unless certain conditions are met. These conditions may include, among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three month period not exceeding specified limitations. Holder is aware that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the Company presently has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future.
4.3 Disposition of Warrant and Exercise Shares.
(a) The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event unless and until:
(i) The Company shall have received a letter secured by the Holder from the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that no action will be recommended to the Commission with respect to the proposed disposition;
(ii) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement; or
(iii) The Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Warrant or Exercise Shares under the Act or any applicable state securities laws. The Company agrees that it will not require an opinion of counsel with respect to transactions under Rule 144 of the Act except in unusual circumstances.
(b) The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the following legend:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
4.4 Accredited Investor Status. The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act.
5. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF EXERCISE SHARES.
5.1 In the event that prior to the expiration of this Warrant (in each case, occurring after the date hereof) there is any change in the class of equity securities of the Company comprising the Exercise Shares by reason of stock dividends, splits, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of such class of equity securities including in connection with any (i) reorganization by merger,
consolidation, exchange of shares of Common Stock, recapitalization, winding up, (ii) a SPAC Transaction (including the Identified SPAC Transaction or a Qualified SPAC Combination) or (iii) other similar event or transaction, as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be exchanged or converted into the same or a different number or class or classes of securities of the Company or another entity or the holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive cash or other property that is not a Change of Control or a Deemed Liquidation Event (each, a “Fundamental Change”), then the number and class of Exercise Shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to such Fundamental Change (subject to all other adjustments under this Warrant) and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment (collectively, the “Fundamental Change Receivable”). For purposes of this Section 5, the “aggregate Exercise Price” shall mean the aggregate Exercise Price payable in connection with the exercise in full of this Warrant. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant. For the avoidance of doubt, the Fundamental Change Receivable with respect to any SPAC Transaction (including the Identified SPAC Transaction or a Qualified SPAC Combination) shall refer to the common stock of the applicable SPAC or Successor.
5.2 In the case of any Fundamental Change, the Company shall cause the successor, acquirer, the SPAC or resulting parent entity in such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares of Common Stock, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or reorganization (if other than the Company) (the “Successor”) to duly execute and deliver to Holder a supplement to this Warrant acknowledging the Successors’ obligations under this Section 5 and detailing the adjusted number of Exercise Shares and adjusted Exercise Price as a result of such Fundamental Change. At all times following any such Fundamental Change, (x) the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the Fundamental Change Receivable, (y) references to the Company herein shall be deemed to be references to the applicable Successor and all obligations of the Company hereunder shall become obligations of the applicable Successor.
6. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of one Exercise Share by such fraction.
7. AUTOMATIC EXERCISE. In the event of, at any time during the Exercise Period, a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation), or Change of Control occurs, the Company shall provide to the Holder five (5) days advance written notice of such Deemed Liquidation Event or Change of Control. If the fair market value of one Exercise Share is equal to or less than the Exercise Price in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event or Change of Control, this Warrant shall automatically terminate upon such Deemed Liquidation Event or Change of Control. If the fair market value of one Exercise Share is greater than the Exercise Price in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event or Change of Control, this Warrant shall automatically be exercised immediately prior to such Deemed Liquidation Event or Change of Control pursuant to the following formula without any action by Holder:
X = Y (A-B) |
A |
Where X = | the number of Exercise Shares to be issued to the Holder |
Y = | the number of Exercise Shares purchasable under the Warrant | |||
A = | the fair market value of one Exercise Share (at the date of such calculation) | |||
B = | Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation) |
8. MARKET STANDOFF. To the extent requested by the Company or an underwriter of securities of the Company, Holder and any permitted transferee thereof shall not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriters in the IPO (as hereafter defined) or a SPAC (as defined in the Note) in connection with a SPAC Transaction (as defined in the Note), other than the Identified SPAC Transaction, offer, sell, make any short sale of, grant or sell any option for the purchase of, lend, pledge, otherwise transfer or dispose of (directly or indirectly), enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership (whether any such transaction is described above or is to be settled by delivery of Exercise Shares or other securities, in cash, or otherwise), any Exercise Shares or other shares of stock of the Company then owned by such Holder or any transferee thereof, or enter into an agreement to do any of the foregoing, for up to 180 days following the effective date of the registration statement of the initial public offering of the Company (the “IPO”) filed under the Act or the closing of a SPAC Transaction, other than the Identified SPAC Transaction. For purposes of this paragraph, “Company” includes any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company into which the Company merges or consolidates. The Company may place restrictive legends on the certificates representing the shares subject to this paragraph and may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to this Warrant and the Exercise Shares and such other shares of stock of Holder and any transferee thereof (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. Holder and any transferee thereof shall enter into any agreement reasonably required by the underwriters to the IPO or the SPAC to implement the foregoing within any reasonable timeframe so requested. The underwriters for any IPO and the SPAC are intended third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions of this paragraph as though they were parties hereto.
9. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.
10. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Holder shall be entitled to the registration rights with respect to the Exercise Shares as are described in Section 4(e) of the Note, the provisions of which are deemed incorporated herein by reference.
11. TRANSFER OF WARRANT. Subject to applicable laws and the restriction on transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto as EXHIBIT B to any transferee designated by Holder. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
12. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
13. NOTICES, ETC. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by electronic transmission or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the
next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.

This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder. Such successors and/or permitted assigns of the Holder shall be deemed to be a Holder for all purposes hereunder.
15. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Warrant is for the sole benefit of the Company and the Holder and their respective successors and, in the case of the Holder, permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Warrant.
16. HEADINGS. The headings in this Warrant are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Warrant.
17. AMENDMENT AND MODIFICATION; WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Warrant may be amended, modified or supplemented only by an agreement in writing signed by the Holder, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand. In addition, any term of this Note may be amended or waived with the written consent of the Company and the Majority Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amendment or waiver materially and adversely treats one or more Holders in a manner that is disproportionate to such treatment of all other Holders, such amendment or waiver shall also require the written consent of Holders disproportionately treated. No waiver by the Company or the Holder of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party or parties so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Warrant shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
18. SEVERABILITY. If any term or provision of this Warrant is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Warrant or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.
