Article I
AGREEMENT TO EXCHANGE

Section 1.1 Exchange of Existing Warrants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.3 below, without any action on the part of the Surviving Company, Merger Sub, Parent, any Holder, or any other party, effective upon the Exchange Closing, each Holder shall be deemed to automatically exchange all of such Holder’s Existing Warrants for an Exchange Warrant representing the right to receive the number of Exchange Warrant Shares set forth opposite such Holder’s name under the heading “Number of Exchange Warrant Shares” of Schedule 1 attached hereto. Merger Sub (and the Surviving Company after the occurrence of the Merger) shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to give effect to the Exchange, and Parent hereby covenants to cause the Surviving Company to take all actions necessary or appropriate to give effect to the Exchange and to comply with the terms of this Agreement applicable to the Existing Warrants.

Section 1.2 Termination of Existing Warrants. Subject to the occurrence of and effective at the Exchange Closing, each Existing Warrant and the rights, covenants, agreements and obligations of the Parties thereunder or contemplated thereby will terminate and be of no further force and effect, all of the obligations of the Surviving Company or Parent under each and every of the Existing Warrants will thereupon be released, extinguished and terminated, and the Holder shall irrevocably relinquish any right or interest that the Holder may have had, may have or may acquire in the future with respect to the Existing Warrants, including, but not limited to, the right to (a) exercise the Existing Warrants into any equity of the Surviving Company or Parent or (b) require the Surviving Company or Parent to purchase any of the Existing Warrants in accordance with their terms.

Paper instruments representing the Exchange Warrants shall be delivered to each Holder as promptly as practicable following the later of (a) the Exchange Closing and (b) the delivery to Parent by such Holder of the paper instruments representing the Existing Warrants of such Holder for which such Exchange Warrants are to be exchanged pursuant to Section 1.1.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Parties. Each Party, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants as to itself to the other Parties as follows:

(a) Enforceability. Such Party has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform the terms and provisions hereof and the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby by such Party have been duly authorized by all necessary action (if applicable) on the part of such Party, and this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Party thereto, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws and equitable principles related to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or the effect of general principles of equity.

(b) No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof on the part of such Party shall breach any statutes or regulations of any Governmental Authority, domestic or foreign, or conflict with or result in a breach of such Party’s organizational document(s) (if applicable) or of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any judgment, order, injunction, decree, agreement or instrument to which such Party is a party or by which such Party or such Party’s assets are or may be bound, or constitute a default thereunder or an event which with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute a default thereunder.

(c) Consents and Approvals. No consent, waiver, approval, order, permit or authorization of, or declaration or filing with, or notification to, any person or entity is required on the part of such Party in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby other than any consent, waiver, approval, order, permit or authorization, or declaration or filing, or notification that has already been obtained.

(d) No Remuneration. Neither such Party nor anyone acting on such Party’s behalf has paid or given any person a commission or other remuneration directly or indirectly in connection with or in order to solicit or facilitate the Exchange.

Section 2.2 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Each Holder. Each Holder, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants, as to itself, to and covenants and agrees with, each of Merger Sub and Parent that:

(a) Ownership. Such Holder owns and holds, beneficially and of record, the entire right, title, and interest in and to its Existing Warrants as set forth on Schedule 1, free and clear of any and all pledges, liens, security interests, mortgage, claims, charges, restrictions, options, title defects or other encumbrances other than restrictions under the Securities Act and other applicable federal and state securities laws. Such Holder has not, in whole or in part, (x) assigned, transferred, hypothecated, pledged or otherwise disposed of any of its Existing Warrants or its rights in or to any of its Existing Warrants, or (y) given any person or entity any transfer order, power of attorney or other authority of any nature whatsoever with respect to any of its Existing Warrants which would limit such Holder’s power to transfer any of its Existing Warrants hereunder. Such Holder covenants that it shall not take any of the actions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Such Holder has the sole and unencumbered right and power to transfer and dispose of its Existing Warrants, and its Existing Warrants are not subject to any agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting or transfer thereof, except for this Agreement. No additional consideration for any purpose shall be due to such Holder at the Exchange Closing, with respect to its Existing Warrants, other than the issuance to such Holder of the Exchange Warrants as provided herein. No default has been declared by the Holder under its Existing Warrants and no default exists or is continuing with respect to its Existing Warrants.

3

(b) Transfer Restrictions. Such Holder acknowledges that the Exchange and the Exchange Warrant being issued to such Holder in connection with the Exchange are intended to be exempt from the registration requirement of the Securities Act pursuant to one or more exemptions thereunder. Accordingly, such Holder understands that (i) the Exchange Warrant to be issued to it and the Exchange Warrant Shares underlying such Exchange Warrant (collectively, “Exchange Securities”) are “restricted securities,” as that term is defined in the Securities Act and the rules thereunder and have not been registered under the Securities Act, and (ii) none of the Exchange Securities can be sold or transferred unless they are first registered under the Securities Act and such state and other securities laws as may be applicable or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available (and then the Exchange Securities may be sold or transferred only in compliance with such exemption and all applicable state and other securities laws). Such Holder acknowledges that all certificates representing any of the Exchange Securities will bear restrictive legends and hereby consents to the transfer agent for the Parent Preferred Stock, if any, making a notation on its records to implement the restrictions on transfer described herein or such Exchange Securities. Such Holder is acquiring the Exchange Securities for investment and not with the view to making a “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.

(c) Financial Ability. Such Holder is aware that there is a high degree of risk incident to making the Exchange (including such risks as set forth in the Company’s filings with the SEC), such Holder is a sophisticated investor that has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating such risks and the merits of making the Exchange in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and such Holder has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as such Holder has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such Holder has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its effectuating the Exchange and holding the Exchange Warrant to be issued to it, has adequate means for providing for its current needs and contingencies and has no need for liquidity with respect to holding the Exchange Warrant.

(d) Accredited Investor. Such Holder is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act.

4

(e) Availability of Information. Such Holder has had the opportunity to review the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto), the Company’s filings with the SEC, and any other non-public information with respect to the Company and Parent that may have been provided to such Holder and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as such Holder has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company or Parent, as applicable, concerning the terms, conditions, risks and merits of the Exchange and holding the Exchange Warrants, (ii) access to information about the Company and Parent and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable such Holder to evaluate the Exchange and holding the Exchange Warrants, and (iii) the opportunity to review the Company’s public filings with the SEC and to obtain such additional information that the Company or Parent possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense, in each case, that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Exchange and holding the Exchange Warrants.

(f) Independent Investigation. In making the decision to make the Exchange, such Holder has relied solely upon such Holder’s own independent investigation and diligence, has not relied on any statements, representations or warranties, investigation (including with respect to the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of the Company’s public disclosure) or other information provided, by or on behalf of (i) any former, current or future, direct or indirect, director, manager, officer, employee, consultant, general or limited partner, member, stockholder, security holder, Affiliate, controlling person, successor, assignee, predecessor, financing source, attorney, advisor, agent or representative (or any of their respective successors or assigns), of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, (ii) any former, current or future, direct or indirect, holder of any equity interests or securities of Parent, Merger Sub, or any of their respective Affiliates (or any of their respective successors or assigns) or (iii) any former, current or future, direct or indirect, director, manager, officer, employee, consultant, general or limited partner, member, stockholder, security holder, Affiliate, controlling person, successor, assignee, predecessor, financing source, attorney, advisor, agent or representative of any of the foregoing (or any of their respective successors or assigns) (including Moelis & Company LLC (together with its affiliates, “Moelis”) or any of its respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing) concerning the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Exchange, the Exchange Warrants, the Transactions or the risks associated therewith.

(g) Financial Advisor. Such Holder acknowledges and agrees that (i) Moelis & Company LLC is acting as financial advisor to Chris Kemp and Dr. Adam London, (ii) Moelis has not provided any information or advice to such Holder and has no contractual, fiduciary or legal obligations to such Holder, in each case, with respect to the Exchange or the Exchange Warrants, (iii) Moelis has not made and does not make any representation, express or implied, as to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Exchange, the Exchange Warrants, the Transactions or the Company’s or Parent’s viability as a going concern, (iv) Moelis has not acted as such Holder’s financial advisor or fiduciary in connection with the Exchange, and (v) Moelis shall not have any liability to such Holder, or to any other investor, pursuant to, arising out of or relating to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Exchange, the Exchange Warrants, the Transactions.

Section 2.3 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Parent. Parent represents and warrants to and covenants and agrees with, Merger Sub and the Holders that:

(a) Enforceability. Parent has the full right, power and authority to enter into the Exchange Warrants and to perform the terms and provisions hereof. The execution, delivery and performance of the Exchange Warrants by Parent have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Parent, and upon the issuance thereof in connection with the Exchange, the Exchange Warrants will constitute the valid and binding obligations of Parent, enforceable against Parent in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws and equitable principles related to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or the effect of general principles of equity.

(b) No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of the Exchange Warrants nor compliance with the terms and provisions thereof on the part of Parent shall breach any statutes or regulations of any governmental authority, domestic or foreign, or conflict with or result in a breach of Parent’s organizational documents or of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any judgment, order, injunction, decree, agreement or instrument to which Parent is a party or by which Parent or its assets are or may be bound, or constitute a default thereunder or an event which with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute a default thereunder.

(c) Consents and Approvals. No consent, waiver, approval, order, permit or authorization of, or declaration or filing with, or notification to, any person or entity is required on the part of Parent in connection with the execution and delivery of the Exchange Warrants other than any consent, waiver, approval, order, permit or authorization, or declaration or filing, or notification that has already been obtained.

(d) Valid Issuance of Exchange Securities. Prior to the Exchange Closing, Parent shall take all corporate action required to be taken by its Board of Directors and stockholders in order that Parent may validly and legally issue (i) the Exchange Warrants, (ii) Exchange Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Exchange Warrants and (iii) the Class A common stock of Parent, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Parent Class A Common Stock”), issuable upon conversion of the Exchange Warrant Shares (including, without limitation, filing an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Parent with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware authorizing the Parent Preferred Stock and Parent Class A Common Stock). Parent shall have duly authorized and reserved at or prior to the Exchange Closing, a number of shares of Parent Preferred Stock and Parent Class A Common Stock for issuance which equals or exceeds the maximum number of (A) the Exchange Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Exchange Warrants (without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of the Exchange Warrants set forth therein) and (B) the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Exchange Warrant Shares, respectively (which reservations shall be for the sole benefit of and exclusive availability for the Holders). Upon exercise of the Exchange Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof, the Exchange Warrant Shares when issued will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens, charges and other encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Parent Preferred Stock. Assuming the accuracy of each of the representations and warranties of the Holders set forth in Article II (Representations and Warranties) of this Agreement, the offer and issuance by Parent of the Exchange Securities is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

Article III
Release

Section 3.1 Release. In consideration of the covenants, agreements and undertakings of the Parties under this Agreement, from and after the Exchange Closing, each Holder, on behalf of itself and its present and former parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, managers, members, agents, representatives, permitted successors, and permitted assigns (collectively, “Releasors”) hereby releases, waives, and forever discharges the Surviving Company, Parent and their respective present and former, direct and indirect, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, managers, members, agents, representatives, permitted successors, and permitted assigns (collectively, “Releasees”) of and from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, rights, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, obligations, costs, expenses, liens, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, variances, trespasses, damages, judgments, extents, executions, claims, and demands, of every kind and nature whatsoever, whether now known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, suspected or unsuspected, in law, admiralty, or equity (collectively, “Claims”), which any of such Releasors ever had, now have, or hereafter can, shall, or may have against any of such Releasees for, upon, or by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever from the beginning of time through the date of the Exchange Closing arising out of or relating specifically to its Existing Warrants; provided, however, that this release does not extend to any Claim to enforce the terms of, or any breach of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Each Releasor acknowledges that the laws of many states provide substantially the following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” Each Releasor acknowledges that such provisions are designed to protect a person from waiving Claims which such person does not know exist or may exist. As to each and every Claim released hereunder, each Releasor hereby represents that it has received the advice of legal counsel with regard to the releases contained herein, and having been so advised, agrees that it shall be deemed to waive the benefit of any such provision (including, without limitation, Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California and each other similar provision of applicable state or federal law (including the laws of the State of Delaware)), if any, pertaining to general releases after having been advised by their legal counsel with respect thereto. Each Releasor acknowledges and agrees that the forgoing waivers were bargained for separately.

Article IV
TERMINATION

Section 4.1 Termination. This Agreement will terminate upon the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, except that Article V (Miscellaneous) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

7

Article V
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 5.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and agreements referenced herein and therein, constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and statements, both written and oral, among the Parties or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Section 5.2 Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified, and the provision hereof may be waived, only in a writing signed (a) in the case of any amendment (other than any amendment effected pursuant to any Joinder delivered in accordance with Section 5.10 hereof), by each of the Parties and (b) in the case of a waiver, by the Party or Parties waiving rights hereunder. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.2, if any Holder purchases any additional Company Warrants (“Additional Warrants”) (which purchase shall have been approved by Holders of a majority in interest of the Existing Warrants) after the date such Holder executed this Agreement or a Joinder, such Additional Warrants shall be deemed to constitute Existing Warrants and Schedule 1 shall be deemed to have been supplemented to include (i) the name of such Holder under the column heading “Holder” of such Schedule, (ii) the warrant certificate number of such Additional Warrants under the column heading “Warrant Certificate Number” of such Schedule, (iii) the Initial Exercise Date of, and as defined in, such Additional Warrants under the column heading “Initial Exercise Date” of such Schedule, (iv) the number of Class A Shares to which such Holder is entitled to purchase under such Additional Warrants under the column heading “Existing Warrant Shares” of such Schedule and (v) an amount equal to the 200% of such number of Class A Shares under the column heading “Exchange Warrant Shares” of such Schedule, in each case for all purposes hereof.

Section 5.3 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation of any Party hereunder may be assigned by (a) in the case of any Holder without the prior written consent of Merger Sub and Parent or (b) in the case of either of Merger Sub or Parent without the prior written consent of the Holders; provided that from and after the effective time of the Merger, the Company shall have the rights and obligations of Merger Sub hereunder by virtue of Section 259 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the Parties and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except to the extent provided under Section 3.1 of this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall confer upon any person other than the Parties hereto (and the Surviving Company upon the Merger) any rights or remedies hereunder.

Section 5.4 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.

8

Section 5.5 Remedies. The Parties agree that, except as provided herein, this Agreement will be enforceable by all Parties by all available remedies at Law or in equity (including, without limitation, specific performance, without bond or other security being required). No failure to exercise, or delay of or omission in the exercise of, any right, power or remedy accruing to any Party as a result of any breach or default by any other Party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of or acquiescence in any such breach or default, or of any similar breach or default occurring later. No 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. No waiver of any provision hereunder or any breach or default thereof shall extend to or affect in any way any other provision or prior or subsequent breach or default nor shall any delay, omission or waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default occurring before or after that waiver.

RE: Warrant Exchange Agreement, dated as of March 7, 2024 (the “Warrant Exchange Agreement”), by and among Apogee Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), Apogee Parent Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and each of the Holders (as defined therein) party thereto.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the above-captioned Warrant Exchange Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Warrant Exchange Agreement.

Section 1. Party to the Warrant Exchange Agreement. The undersigned, Merger Sub and Parent hereby agree, as of the date first above written, that (a) the undersigned shall be a “Holder”, the “Holders”, a “Party” and the “Parties” for all purposes of the Warrant Exchange Agreement to the same extent as each of the other Holders thereunder; (b) each reference in the Warrant Exchange Agreement to a “Holder” and “Party” shall also mean and be a reference to the undersigned; (c) the undersigned shall be bound by the terms of the Warrant Exchange Agreement to the same extent as each of the other Holders thereunder; and (d) Schedule 1 to the Warrant Exchange Agreement shall be deemed to have been supplemented by Annex I hereto and for the avoidance of doubt, each reference in the Warrant Exchange Agreement to an “Existing Warrant” with respect to the undersigned shall mean and be a reference to the Company Warrant of the undersigned set forth in Annex I hereto.

Section 2. Representations and Warranties. The undersigned hereby makes each representation and warranty set forth in Sections 2.1 (Representations and Warranties of the Parties) and 2.2 (Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Each Holder) of the Warrant Exchange Agreement to the same extent as each other Holder.

Section 3. Counterparts. This Joinder may be executed in multiple counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same instrument. A signature delivered by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf) or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 (e.g., www.docusign.com) shall be deemed to be an original signature for all purposes under this Joinder.

Section 4. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Sections 5.6 (Governing Law; Jurisdiction) and 5.7 (Waiver of Jury Trial) of the Warrant Exchange Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and shall apply to this Joinder mutatis mutandis.
