Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture, dated as of May 13, 2021 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

 

1.    Exchange. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Investor hereby agrees to exchange for itself and on behalf of the Exchanging Investors, an aggregate principal amount of the Notes set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the “Exchanged Notes”) for:

 

(a)    an amount of cash as set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the “Cash Payment”); and

 

(b)    a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share as set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the “Shares”, and together with the Cash Payment, the “Exchange Consideration”)).

 

The parties hereto hereby agree that any accrued and unpaid interest on the Exchanged Notes shall be included in the Cash Payment and no separate payment will be made in respect of any accrued and unpaid interest on the Exchanged Notes.

 

The Investor agrees that neither it nor any Exchanging Investor will deliver a Notice of Conversion with respect to any Exchanged Notes and the Investor and each Exchanging Investor shall hold the Exchanged Notes until the Closing (as defined below). In consideration for the performance of their obligations hereunder (including as described in the immediately preceding sentence), the Company agrees to deliver the Exchange Consideration on the Closing Date (as defined below) to each Exchanging Investor in exchange for its Exchanged Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, no additional interest shall be payable on the Exchange Notes for any delay in the delivery of the Exchange Consideration beyond the Closing Date regardless of the reason therefor.

The Exchange shall occur in accordance with the procedures set forth in Exhibit B.2 hereto (the “Exchange Procedures”); provided that each of the Company and the Investor acknowledges that the delivery of the Shares to any Exchanging Investor may be delayed due to procedures and mechanics within the system of the transfer agent, The Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”) or The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) or other events beyond the Company’s control and that such a delay will not be a default under this Agreement so long as (i) the Company is using its reasonable efforts to effect such delivery, or (ii) such delay arises due to a failure by Investor to deliver settlement instructions in accordance with Section 3(q); provided, further, that no delivery of the Exchange Consideration will be made until the Exchanged Notes have been properly submitted for exchange in accordance with the Exchange Procedures.  

 

The closing of the Exchange (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on June 11, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), or at such other time and place as the Company and the Investor may mutually agree. On the Closing Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified herein, the Company shall deliver the Shares to the DTC account and the Cash Payment by wire transfer to the account, in each case specified by the Investor for each relevant Exchanging Investor in Exhibit B.1.  All questions as to the form of all documents and the validity and acceptance of the Exchanged Notes will be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the Closing, the Investor hereby, for itself and on behalf of its Accounts, (a) waives any and all other rights with respect to such Exchanged Notes and (b) releases and discharges the Company and J. Wood Capital Advisors LLC (the “Exchange Agent”) from any and all claims, actions, causes or rights, whether known or unknown, contingent or matured, that the undersigned and its Accounts may now have, or may have in the future, arising out of, or related to, such Exchanged Notes.

The Investor and each Exchanging Investor acknowledges that they have not relied upon the non-disclosure of any such Information for purposes of making their decision to participate in the Exchange.
