Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Transaction Documents (defined below).
A.Borrower previously sold and issued to Lender that certain Promissory Note with an original issuance date of July 6, 2022 in the original principal amount of $12,808,672.00 (as amended and supplemented prior to the date hereof, the "Note") pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated July 6, 2022 by and between Lender and Borrower (the "Purchase Agreement").
B.Lender and Borrower thereafter amended and supplemented the Note pursuant to that certain Amendment to Promissory Note, dated as of August 1, 2023 (the "Note Amendment"), which provided for, among other things, a new monthly amortization payment schedule and limited rights to Lender to convert all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance of the Note into shares of common stock of Borrower, as and on the terms provided therein (the Note, as amended and supplemented by the Note Amendment, and the Note Amendment, the Purchase Agreement and all other documents entered into in conjunction therewith, collectively, the "Transaction Documents").
C.Borrower has requested that (i) (A) Lender memorialize prior agreements between Borrower and Lender that Lender waived the requirements that Borrower satisfy Section 7(b) of the Note Amendment for each of October 2023 and November 2023, (B) Lender waive the requirement that Borrower satisfy Section 7(b) of the Note Amendment for December 2023, and (C) Lender consider in good faith if and when requested by Borrower waiving for January 2024, February 2024 and March 2024 the requirements that Borrower satisfy Section 7(b) of the Note Amendment (each, a "Specified Month"), in each case with respect to any outstanding portion of the Minimum Outstanding Balance Reduction Amount for each and any Specified Month remaining after giving effect to any exercise of limited conversion rights by Lender under Section 6 of the Note Amendment (collectively, "Limited Conversion Rights") during such Specified Month so as to allow Borrower to defer paying the amount of any such outstanding Minimum Outstanding Balance Reduction Amount in cash for and during each such Specified Month; and (ii) Lender agree to not exercise its Limited Conversion Rights during the period from and including the date of closing of the purchase of Borrower's Common Stock by one or more purchaser(s) pursuant to a securities purchase agreement or similar agreement or instrument (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), which date of closing (such date, the "Securities Purchase Closing Date") occurs on or before December 31, 2023 (the "Securities Purchase Target Date"), through and including the date which is sixty (60) days following the Securities Purchase Closing Date (the "Securities Purchase Period End Date").
