(“Owlet”) who have voted for the approval of the Business Combination prior to the date hereof. This number is based on the product of (a) the sum of (i) 5,608,844, the aggregate number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Owlet outstanding as of March 22, 2021, (ii) 11,167,137, the aggregate number of shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Owlet, outstanding as of March 22, 2021, (iii) 892,456, the aggregate number of shares of Owlet common stock issuable upon the cashless exercise of the Owlet warrants outstanding as of March 22, 2021 and, (iv) 695,107, the aggregate number of shares of Owlet preferred stock issuable upon the conversion of the Owlet convertible promissory notes outstanding as of March 22, 2021, and (v) 3,153,776, the aggregate number of shares of Owlet common stock issuable upon the cash exercise of Owlet options outstanding as of March 22, 2021, and (b) an estimated Exchange Ratio (as defined herein) of 2.050. |

Q: | Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus? |
A: | Sandbridge is proposing to consummate the Business Combination with Owlet. Sandbridge, Merger Sub and Owlet have entered into the Business Combination Agreement, the terms of which are described in this proxy statement/prospectus. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached hereto as Annex A. Sandbridge urges its stockholders to read the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety. |
Q: | Why is Sandbridge proposing the Business Combination? |
A: | Sandbridge was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination. |
Q: | When and where will the Special Meeting take place? |
A: | The Special Meeting will be held on , 2021, at local time, via live webcast at the following address: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SBG2021SM, or such other date, time and place to which such meeting may be adjourned or postponed, to consider and vote upon the proposals. To participate in the Special Meeting, a Sandbridge stockholder of record will need the 16-digit control number included on their proxy card or instructions that accompanied their proxy materials, if applicable, or to obtain a proxy form from their broker, bank or other nominee. The Special Meeting webcast will begin promptly at , New York City time. Sandbridge stockholders are encouraged to access the Special Meeting prior to the start time. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting or during the meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual meeting login page. |
Q: | What matters will be considered at the Special Meeting? |
A: | The Sandbridge stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following proposals: |
• | The Business Combination Proposal, which is a proposal to approve the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Business Combination; |
• | The Charter Amendment Proposal, which is a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved and adopted, the Proposed Charter, which will replace the Current Charter, including the proposals to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis and as required by applicable SEC guidance, certain material differences between the Current Charter and the Proposed Charter (the “Advisory Charter Amendment Proposals”); |
• | The NYSE Proposal, which is a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Amendment Proposal are approved and adopted, for the purposes of complying with the applicable listing rules of the NYSE, the issuance of (i) 13,000,000 shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock to the PIPE Investors in the PIPE Financing, plus any additional shares pursuant to Subscription Agreements we may enter into prior to Closing, and (ii) an aggregate of up to 102,500,000 shares of New Owlet common stock to existing Owlet equityholders pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement; |
• | The Incentive Award Plan Proposal, which is a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal and the NYSE Proposal are approved and adopted, the New Owlet Incentive Award Plan; |
• | The ESPP Proposal, which is a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the NYSE Proposal and the New Owlet Incentive Award Plan are approved and adopted, the New Owlet ESPP; and |
• | The Adjournment Proposal, which is a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, any of the Required Transaction Proposals would not be duly approved and adopted by our stockholders or we determine that one or more of the closing conditions under the Business Combination Agreement is not satisfied or waived. |
Q: | Is my vote important? |
A: | Yes. The Business Combination cannot be completed unless the Business Combination Proposal receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Sandbridge stockholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon and the other Required Transaction Proposals achieve the necessary vote outlined below. Only Sandbridge stockholders as of the close of business on , 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting, are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. The Sandbridge Board unanimously recommends that such Sandbridge stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal, including, on an advisory basis, the Advisory Charter Amendment Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the NYSE Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Award Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the ESPP Proposal, and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal. |
Q: | If my shares are held in “street name” by my bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, will my bank, brokerage firm or other nominee automatically vote those shares for me? |
A: | No. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial holder” of the shares held for you in what is known as “street name.” If this is the case, this proxy statement/prospectus may have been forwarded to you by your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, or its agent. As the beneficial holder, you also have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker on a particular proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, your shares will not be voted on that proposal. This is called a “broker non-vote.” Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. If you decide to vote, you should provide instructions |
Q: | What Sandbridge stockholder vote is required for the approval of each proposal brought before the Special Meeting? What will happen if I fail to vote or abstain from voting on each proposal? |
A: | The Business Combination Proposal. Approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Sandbridge stockholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. In connection with our initial public offering, our initial stockholders and our other directors and officers at the time of our initial public offering entered into a letter agreement to vote their founder shares and any public shares acquired by them during or after the initial public offering in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Transaction Proposals being presented at the Special Meeting, all of which are unanimously recommended by the Sandbridge Board. The shares held by our Sponsor, our other initial stockholders and our other directors and officers that are obligated to vote in favor of the Business Combination represent approximately 27% of the voting power of Sandbridge. Abstentions will be treated as votes against this proposal. |
Q: | What will Owlet’s equityholders receive in connection with the Business Combination? |
A: | As a consequence of the Merger, at the Effective Time, (i) each share of Owlet capital stock (as defined herein) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will become the right to receive the number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio; (ii) each option to purchase shares of Owlet common stock, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised as |
Q: | What voting power will current Sandbridge stockholders and Owlet stockholders hold in New Owlet immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination? |
A: | It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, the voting power in New Owlet will be as set forth in the table below: |
| | No Redemption (Shares) | | | % | | | Maximum Redemption (Shares) | | | % | |
Owlet equityholders(1) | | | 90,466,363 | | | 68.4% | | | 90,466,363 | | | 72.2% |
Sandbridge’s public stockholders | | | 23,000,000 | | | 17.4% | | | 16,000,000 | | | 12.8% |
Sponsor & related parties(2) | | | 5,750,000 | | | 4.4% | | | 5,750,000 | | | 4.6% |
PIPE Investors | | | 13,000,000 | | | 9.8% | | | 13,000,000 | | | 10.4% |
Pro Forma New Owlet Common Stock at Closing | | | 132,216,363 | | | 100% | | | 125,216,363 | | | 100% |
(1) | Excludes 9,533,637 shares of New Owlet common stock underlying outstanding New Owlet option awards on a net exercise basis. |
(2) | Represents the shares of New Owlet common stock the Sponsor and the independent directors and an advisor of Sandbridge will receive upon conversion of the Sandbridge Class B common stock at Closing. Of such shares, 2,807,500 shares of New Owlet common stock will be outstanding following the Closing but will remain subject to price-based performance vesting terms as described in the Sponsor Letter Agreement. |
Q: | What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination? |
A: | A total of $230 million, including approximately $8.05 million of underwriters’ deferred discount and approximately $4.6 million of the proceeds of the sale of the private placement warrants, was placed in the Trust Account and is maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. As of December 31, 2020, there were investments and cash held in the Trust Account of $230,053,249. These funds will not be released until the earlier of Closing or the redemption of our public shares if we are unable to complete an initial business combination by September 17, 2022, during any stockholder-approved extension period, although we may withdraw the interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account to pay franchise and income taxes. Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, the funds remaining in the Trust Account will be released and, together with the proceeds of the PIPE Financing, if any, will remain on the balance sheet of New Owlet. |
Q: | What happens if a substantial number of the public stockholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their redemption right? |
A: | Sandbridge stockholders who vote in favor of the Business Combination may also nevertheless exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of public stockholders are reduced as a result of redemptions by public stockholders. The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things, Sandbridge having an aggregate cash amount of at least $140 million available at Closing from the Trust Account, after certain fees and expenses (the “Available Sandbridge Cash,” and such condition to the consummation of the Business Combination, the “Minimum Available Sandbridge Cash Amount” (though this condition may be waived by Owlet)). In addition, with fewer public shares and public stockholders, the trading market for New Owlet common stock may be less liquid than it otherwise would |
Q: | What amendments will be made to the Current Charter? |
A: | We are asking Sandbridge stockholders to approve the Proposed Charter that will be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The Proposed Charter provides for various changes that the Sandbridge Board believes are necessary to address the needs of the post-combination company, including, among other things: (i) the change of Sandbridge’s name to “Owlet, Inc.”; (ii) the increase of the total number of authorized shares of all classes of capital stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, from 111,000,000 shares to 1,100,000,000 shares, consisting of 1,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 100,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share; (iii) changes to the required vote to amend the charter and bylaws; and (iv) the elimination of certain provisions specific to Sandbridge’s status as a blank check company. |
Q: | Did the Sandbridge Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination? |
A: | No. The Sandbridge Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination. However, Sandbridge’s management, the members of the Sandbridge Board and the other representatives of Sandbridge have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies similar to Owlet and reviewed certain financial information of Owlet and compared it to certain publicly traded companies, selected based on the experience and the professional judgment of Sandbridge’s management team, which enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the Sandbridge Board in valuing Owlet’s business and assuming the risk that the Sandbridge Board may not have properly valued such business. |
Q: | Do I have redemption rights? |
A: | If you are a public stockholder, you have the right to request that Sandbridge redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash, provided that you follow the procedures and deadlines described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus under the heading “The Special Meeting - Redemption Rights.” Public stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if they vote for the Business Combination Proposal. We sometimes refer to these rights to elect to redeem all or a portion of the public shares into a pro rata portion of the cash held in the Trust Account as “redemption rights.” If you wish to exercise your redemption rights, please see the answer to the question: “How do I exercise my redemption rights?” |
Q: | How do I exercise my redemption rights? |
A: | If you are a public shareholder and wish to exercise your right to redeem your public shares, you must: |
(i) | (a) hold public shares, or (b) if you hold public shares through units, you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; |
(ii) | prior to p.m., New York City time, on , 2021, (a) submit a written request, including the legal name, telephone number and address of the beneficial owner of the shares for which redemption is requested, to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Sandbridge’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) that Sandbridge redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). |
Q: | If I am a holder of units, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my units? |
A: | No. Holders of outstanding units must first elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If you hold your units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must notify your broker or bank that you elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if you hold units registered in your own name, you must contact the Transfer Agent directly and instruct them to do so. If you fail to cause your units to be separated and delivered to the Transfer Agent by , 2021, you will not be able to exercise your redemption rights with respect to your public shares. |
Q: | What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights? |
A: | The U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights depend on your particular facts and circumstances. It is possible that you may be treated as selling your public shares for cash and, as a result, recognize capital gain or capital loss. It is also possible that the redemption may be treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes depending on the amount of public shares that you own or are deemed to own (including through the ownership of New Owlet warrants). For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of an exercise of redemption rights, see “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.” |
Q: | How does the Sandbridge Board recommend that I vote? |
A: | The Sandbridge Board recommends that the Sandbridge stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal, including the Advisory Charter Amendment Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the NYSE Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Award Plan Proposal, “FOR” for the approval of the ESPP Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal. For more information regarding how the Sandbridge Board recommends that Sandbridge stockholders vote, see the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal - Sandbridge’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.” |
Q: | How do our Sponsor and the other initial stockholders intend to vote their shares? |
A: | In connection with our initial public offering, our initial stockholders and our other directors and officers at the time of our initial public offering entered into a letter agreement to vote their founder shares, as well as any public shares purchased by them during or after our initial public offering, in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Transaction Proposals, all of which are unanimously recommended by the Sandbridge Board, being presented at the Special Meeting. These stockholders collectively own approximately 27% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. |
Q: | May our Sponsor and the other initial stockholders purchase public shares or warrants prior to the Special Meeting? |
A: | At any time prior to the Special Meeting, during a period when they are not in possession of any material nonpublic information regarding Sandbridge or its securities, the initial stockholders, Owlet and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares and/or warrants from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal or not redeem their public shares. The purpose of any such transaction could be to (i) vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of the consummation of the Business Combination or (ii) increase the likelihood that the Minimum Available Sandbridge Cash Amount is satisfied. Any such stock purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood that the Business Combination is consummated. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or rights owned by Sandbridge’s initial stockholders for nominal value. |
Q: | Who is entitled to vote at the Special Meeting? |
A: | The Sandbridge Board has fixed , 2021 as the record date for the Special Meeting. All holders of record of Sandbridge common stock as of the close of business on the record date are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting, provided that those shares remain outstanding on the date of the Special Meeting. Physical attendance at the Special Meeting is not required to vote. See the question “How can I vote my shares without attending the Special Meeting?” below for instructions on how to vote your Sandbridge common stock without attending the Special Meeting. |
Q: | How many votes do I have? |
A: | Each Sandbridge stockholder of record is entitled to one vote for each share of Sandbridge common stock held by such holder as of the close of business on the record date. As of the close of business on , 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were outstanding shares of Sandbridge common stock. |
Q: | What constitutes a quorum for the Special Meeting? |
A: | A quorum is the minimum number of stockholders necessary to hold a valid meeting. |
Q: | What is Owlet? |
A: | Owlet Baby Care Inc. was founded on a commitment to designing and selling products and services that empower parents with technology and data to proactively monitor the health and wellness of their children from conception to kindergarten. Owlet’s ecosystem of connected smart products, which currently includes its flagship Owlet Smart Sock, the Owlet Cam and Owlet Dream Lab, is helping to transform modern parenting by bringing simplified child monitoring solutions in-home so parents can rest easier.

Owlet Dream Lab is an interactive online platform that assists families in building healthy sleep habits with their babies of up to 12 months in age. |
Q: | What will happen to my shares of Sandbridge common stock as a result of the Business Combination? |
A: | If the Business Combination is completed, each share of Sandbridge Class B common stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Owlet common stock.

Q: | What is a proxy? |

If you are a stockholder of record of Sandbridge common stock as of the close of business on the record date, and you vote by telephone, by Internet or by signing, dating and returning your proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope, you designate two of Sandbridge’s officers as your proxies at the Special Meeting, each with full power to act without the other and with full power of substitution.

Q: | What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner? |
A: | If your shares of Sandbridge common stock are registered directly in your name with the Transfer Agent, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and access to proxy materials is being provided directly to you. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, then you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares, which are considered to be held in street name. Access to proxy materials is being provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. |
Q: | If a Sandbridge stockholder gives a proxy, how will the Sandbridge common stock covered by the proxy be voted? |
A: | If you provide a proxy by returning the applicable enclosed proxy card, the individuals named on the enclosed proxy card will vote your Sandbridge common stock in the way that you indicate when providing your proxy in respect of the Sandbridge common stock you hold.

Q: | How will my Sandbridge common stock be voted if I return a blank proxy? |

A: | The preliminary voting results are expected to be announced at the Special Meeting. In addition, within four business days following certification of the final voting results, Sandbridge will file the final voting results of its Special Meeting with the SEC in a Current Report on Form 8-K. |
Q: | Are Sandbridge stockholders able to exercise dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights with respect to the matters being voted upon at the Special Meeting? |
A: | No. Sandbridge stockholders are not entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights under Delaware law in connection with the Business Combination.

You also should read and carefully consider the risk factors of Sandbridge and Owlet contained in the documents that are incorporated by reference herein. |
Q: | What happens if I sell my Sandbridge common stock before the Special Meeting? |
A: | The record date for Sandbridge stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is earlier than the date of the Special Meeting. If you transfer your shares of Sandbridge common stock before the record date, you will not be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. If you transfer your shares of Sandbridge common stock after the record date but before the Special Meeting, you will, unless special arrangements are made, retain your right to vote at the Special Meeting but will transfer the right to hold New Owlet common stock to the person to whom you transfer your Sandbridge common stock. |

A: | Sandbridge has engaged a professional proxy solicitation firm, Okapi Partners LLC (“Okapi”), to assist in soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting. Sandbridge has agreed to pay Okapi a fee for such services, which it expects will be approximately $20,000. In addition, Sandbridge will reimburse Okapi for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Okapi and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. Sandbridge will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of our common stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of our common stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Sandbridge’s management team may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies. |

Q: | What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials? |

• | If we are unable to complete our initial business combination by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the public shares, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. |

If we do not consummate a business combination transaction by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period, then the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders and the warrants held by our Sponsor will be worthless. The warrants held by our Sponsor had an aggregate market value of approximately $11.8 million based upon the closing price of $1.79 per public warrant on the NYSE on February 12, 2021. Upon the Closing, the private placement warrants will become 6,600,000 warrants to purchase shares of New Owlet common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain contractual restrictions on transfer. |

• | the post-combination company will assume the Owlet name; |
• | the post-combination company will maintain the current Owlet headquarters; and |
• | the intended strategy of the post-combination entity will continue Owlet’s current strategy of product development and market penetration. |
• | Owlet has a limited operating history and has grown significantly in a short period of time. Owlet needs to continue to increase the size of its organization and, if unable to manage its growth effectively, Owlet’s business could be materially and adversely affected. |
• | Owlet has a history of net losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future. |
• | If the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or any other governmental authority were to require marketing authorization for the Owlet Smart Sock, or for any other product that Owlet sells and which Owlet does not believe requires such marketing authorization, Owlet could be required to cease selling or recall the product pending receipt of marketing authorization from the FDA or such other governmental authority, which can be a lengthy and time-consuming process, harm financial results and Owlet may also be subject to regulatory enforcement action. |
• | Owlet is required to obtain and maintain marketing authorizations from the FDA for any products intended to be and/or classified as medical device products in the United States, which can be a lengthy and time-consuming process, and a failure to do so on a timely basis, or at all, could severely harm Owlet’s business. |

• | Owlet relies significantly on information technology (“IT”) and any failure, inadequacy, interruption or security lapse of that technology, including any cybersecurity incidents, could lead to misappropriation of confidential or otherwise protected information and harm Owlet’s business and its ability to operate our business effectively. |
• | Owlet faces the risk of product liability claims and the amount of insurance coverage held now or in the future may not be adequate to cover all liabilities Owlet might incur. |
• | Increased expansion into international markets will expose Owlet to additional business, political, regulatory, operational, financial and economic risks. |
• | Owlet may be required to obtain and maintain regulatory authorizations in order to commercialize its products in international markets, and failure to obtain regulatory authorizations in relevant foreign jurisdictions may prevent Owlet from marketing medical device products abroad. |
• | Customer or third-party complaints or negative reviews or publicity about Owlet or its products and services could harm Owlet’s reputation and brand. |

• | If we are unable to complete our initial business combination by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Sandbridge to pay its tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay |
• | There will be no liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to our founder shares held by our Sponsor if we fail to complete our initial business combination by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period. Our Sponsor purchased the founder shares prior to our initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share and, in August 2020, transferred 40,000 founder shares to Mr. De Sole, 25,000 founder shares to Mr. Toubassy and 30,000 founder shares to Mr. Hilfiger and in October 2020, transferred 40,000 founder shares to Mr. Goss. Upon the Closing, such founder shares will remain outstanding, subject to certain restrictions on transfer. However, if our Sponsor acquires public shares in and after the initial public offering, such public shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if Sandbridge fails to complete a business combination. |
• | In connection with the closing of our initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 6,600,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor. The warrants are each exercisable commencing the later of 30 days following the Closing of the Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of our initial public offering, which occurred on September 17, 2020, for one share of Sandbridge Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. If we do not consummate a business combination transaction by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period, then there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to Sandbridge’s warrants, which will expire worthless. |
• | Our initial stockholders, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us if we do not complete an initial business combination by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period. All of the founder shares will be worthless if we do not complete an initial business combination. Our initial stockholders have entered into a letter agreement with us pursuant to which they have agreed to vote any shares owed by them in favor of a proposed initial business combination and to waive their redemption rights in respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with the completion of our initial business combination and certain amendments to our Current Charter. |
• | In connection with the Business Combination Agreement, Sandbridge entered into Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which such PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase, at the Closing immediately following the Effective Time, an aggregate of 13,000,000 shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. |
• | Certain of our officers and directors are expected to continue to serve as directors of New Owlet after the Closing. As such, in the future they may receive cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the New Owlet Board determines to pay to its directors. |
• | In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.00 per public share or (2) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of Sandbridge’s initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. |

• | Owlet satisfies a number of acquisition criteria that Sandbridge had established to evaluate prospective business combination targets. The Sandbridge Board determined that Owlet satisfies a number of the criteria and guidelines that Sandbridge established at its initial public offering, including its thematically aligned modern business model, its future differentiated product offerings and technology, its organic growth potential, its experienced management team, and the potential to benefit from Sandbridge’s knowledge of the consumer sector and industry experience. |
• | Reasonableness of Aggregate Consideration. Following a review of the financial data provided to Sandbridge, including Owlet’s historical financial statements and certain unaudited prospective financial |
• | Business and Financial Condition and Prospects. After conducting due diligence, the Sandbridge Board and Sandbridge management had knowledge of, and were familiar with, Owlet’s business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects. The Sandbridge Board considered the results of the due diligence review of Owlet’s business, including its plan for a comprehensive ecosystem of offerings related to baby care, its ability to enhance, extend and expand its platform, as well as the legal due diligence performed by Ropes & Gray LLP, the findings from the financial and tax due diligence performed by KPMG LLP and the financial due diligence and valuation analysis conducted by Sandbridge’s management in collaboration with its advisors. |
• | Post-Combination Board of Directors. The Sandbridge Board considered the fact that the board of directors of New Owlet would be an independent board of directors (rather than one controlled by the former stockholders of Owlet). |
• | Experienced, Proven and Committed Management Team. The Sandbridge Board considered the fact that New Owlet will be led by the senior management team of Owlet, which has a proven track record of operational excellence, financial performance, growth and ongoing capabilities for innovation. The Sandbridge Board also believed that the willingness of Owlet’s management team to both roll over their equity stake, as well as to agree to prohibitions on the transfer of those shares for 18 months following the consummation of the Transactions (subject to early release as to certain shares upon achievement of share price performance thresholds), reflected management’s belief in and commitment to Owlet’s continued growth following the consummation of the Transactions. For additional information, see “Management of Owlet Following the Business Combination.” |
• | Other Alternatives. Sandbridge raised $230.0 million in September 2020 with the objective of consummating an attractive business combination. Since that time, as more fully described in “Proposal No. 1—The Business Combination Proposal—Background of the Transactions”, Sandbridge has evaluated a number of businesses but has been most impressed by the Owlet business. The Sandbridge Board believed that, among available alternatives and based upon the Transaction’s terms and the financial analysis, that the Transactions create the best available opportunity to maximize value for Sandbridge stockholders. |
• | Terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the Related Agreements. The Sandbridge Board considered the key terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the business combination, each party’s representations, warranties and covenants, the conditions to each party’s obligation and the termination provisions as well as the strong commitment by both Owlet and Sandbridge to complete the Transactions. |
• | Independent Director Role. The Sandbridge Board is comprised of a majority of independent directors who are not affiliated with the Sponsor or its affiliates. In connection with the Transaction, Sandbridge’s independent directors, Domenico De Sole, Ramez Toubassy and Mike Goss, considered the proposed terms of the Transactions and offered guidance to members of Sandbridge’s management team as they negotiated the terms of the Transactions on Sandbridge’s behalf. Each of Sandbridge’s independent directors approved Sandbridge’s entry into the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Transactions. Ownership of founder shares by Mr. Toubassy, Mr. De Sole and Mr. Goss, our independent directors, may create a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate an initial business combination, and in determining the terms on which we are willing to consummate such a transaction. |
• | Macroeconomic Risks. Macroeconomic uncertainty, including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects they could have on the combined company’s financial performance. |
• | Benefits May Not Be Achieved. The risk that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe. |
• | Growth Initiatives May Not Be Achieved. The risk that the growth initiatives may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe. |
• | No Third-Party Valuation. The risk that Sandbridge did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with the Business Combination. |
• | Exclusivity The fact that the Business Combination Agreement includes an exclusivity provision that prohibits Sandbridge from soliciting other business combination proposals, which restricts Sandbridge’s ability, so long as the Business Combination Agreement is in effect, to consider other potential business combinations. |
• | Liquidation. The risks and costs to Sandbridge if the business combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other businesses combination opportunities, which could result in Sandbridge being unable to effect a business combination within the completion window and force Sandbridge to liquidate. |
• | Stockholder Vote and Redemptions. The risk that Sandbridge’s stockholders may not support the proposed Business Combination and may not approve the proposals at the special meeting; and additionally, the risk that Sandbridge's stockholders may exercise their redemption rights in connection with the transaction. |
• | Closing Conditions. The fact that completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within Sandbridge’s control, such as (i) the approval by our stockholders of the Required Transaction Proposals being obtained; (ii) the approval of the Business Combination Agreement and related transactions by Owlet stockholders; (iii) the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act relating to the Business Combination Agreement having expired or been terminated; (iv) Sandbridge having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) immediately after the Effective Time; (v) satisfaction of the Minimum Available Sandbridge Cash Amount; (vi) the truth and correctness of Owlet’s representations made in the Business Combination Agreement; (vii) Owlet’s compliance with the covenants in the Business Combination Agreement; (viii) the absence of a Company material Adverse Effect; (ix) the delivery by Owlet of certificates, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement; (x) immediately following the Effective Time, Sandbridge having satisfied any applicable continuing listing requirements of the NYSE; (xi) this proxy statement/prospectus becoming effective in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of this proxy statement/prospectus being issued by the SEC and no proceeding seeking such a stop order being threatened or initiated by the SEC and remaining pending; and (xii) no order or law issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental entity or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the Business Combination being in effect. |
• | Sandbridge Stockholders Not Holding a Majority Position in Owlet The fact that Sandbridge stockholders will not hold a majority position in Owlet following the Business Combination, which may reduce the influence that Sandbridge’s current stockholders have on the management of Sandbridge. |

• | If we are unable to complete our initial business combination by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the public shares, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. |
• | There will be no liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to our founder shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period. Our Sponsor purchased the founder shares prior to our initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 and, in August 2020, transferred 40,000 founder shares to Mr. De Sole, 25,000 founder shares to Mr. Toubassy and 30,000 founder shares to Mr. Hilfiger and in October 2020, transferred 40,000 founder shares to Michael Goss. Upon the Closing, such founder shares will remain outstanding, subject to certain restrictions on transfer. |
• | In connection with the closing of our initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 6,600,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor. The warrants are each exercisable commencing on the later of 30 days following the Closing and 12 months from the closing of our initial public offering, which occurred on September 17, 2020, for one share of Sandbridge Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. If we do not consummate a business combination transaction by September 17, 2022, then the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders and the warrants held by our Sponsor will be worthless. The warrants held by our Sponsor had an aggregate market value of approximately $11.8 million based upon the closing price of $1.79 per public warrant on the NYSE on February 12, 2021. Upon the Closing, the private placement warrants will become 6,600,000 warrants to purchase shares of New Owlet common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain restrictions on transfer. |
• | Our initial stockholders, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us if we do not complete an initial business combination by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period, including their initial investment in the founder shares and their at-risk capital, for which the Sponsor received 6,600,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Our initial stockholders, officers and directors own an aggregate of 5,750,000 founder shares, which were purchased prior to our initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share. |
• | Certain of our officers and directors may continue to serve as directors of New Owlet after the Closing. As such, in the future they may receive cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the New Owlet Board determines to pay to its directors. |
• | Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Sandbridge entered into the Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have agreed to |
• | In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.00 per public share or (2) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of Sandbridge’s initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. |
• | Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will continue to indemnify our existing directors and officers and will maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy. |
• | Upon the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, our Sponsor, our officers and directors and any of their respective affiliates may be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by Sandbridge from time to time, made by our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. |

• | to the extent permitted by applicable law or any exchange rule, shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by us or any of our subsidiaries will not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. |
• | Nonstatutory Stock Options, or NSOs, provide for the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a specified price that may not be less than fair market value on the date of grant, and usually will become exercisable (at the discretion of the administrator) in one or more installments after the grant date, subject to the participant’s continued employment or service with us and/or subject to the satisfaction of corporate performance targets and individual performance targets established by the administrator. NSOs may be granted for any term specified by the administrator that does not exceed ten years. |
• | Incentive Stock Options, or ISOs, will be designed in a manner intended to comply with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code and will be subject to specified restrictions contained in the Code. Among such restrictions, ISOs must have an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant, may only be granted to employees, and must not be exercisable after a period of ten years measured from the date of grant. In the case of an ISO granted to an individual who owns (or is deemed to own) at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our capital stock, the 2021 Plan provides that the exercise price must be at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant and the ISO must not be exercisable after a period of five years measured from the date of grant. |
• | Restricted Stock may be granted to any eligible individual and made subject to such restrictions as may be determined by the administrator. Restricted stock, typically, may be forfeited for no consideration or repurchased by us at the original purchase price if the conditions or restrictions on vesting are not met. In general, restricted stock may not be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed or |
• | Restricted Stock Units may be awarded to any eligible individual, typically without payment of consideration, but subject to vesting conditions based on continued employment or service or on performance criteria established by the administrator. Like restricted stock, restricted stock units may not be sold, or otherwise transferred or hypothecated, until vesting conditions are removed or expire. Unlike restricted stock, stock underlying restricted stock units will not be issued until the restricted stock units have vested, and recipients of restricted stock units generally will have no voting or dividend rights prior to the time when vesting conditions are satisfied. |
• | Stock Appreciation Rights, or SARs, may be granted in connection with stock options or other awards, or separately. SARs granted in connection with stock options or other awards typically will provide for payments to the holder based upon increases in the price of our common stock over a set exercise price. The exercise price of any SAR granted under the 2021 Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. SARs under the 2021 Plan will be settled in cash or shares of our common stock, or in a combination of both, at the election of the administrator. |
• | Performance Bonus Awards and Performance Stock Units are denominated in cash or shares/unit equivalents, respectively, and may be linked to one or more performance or other criteria as determined by the administrator. |
• | Other Stock or Cash Based Awards are awards of cash, fully vested shares of our common stock and other awards valued wholly or partially by referring to, or otherwise based on, shares of our common stock. Other stock or cash based awards may be granted to participants and may also be available as a payment form in the settlement of other awards, as standalone payments and as payment in lieu of base salary, bonus, fees or other cash compensation otherwise payable to any individual who is eligible to receive awards. The administrator will determine the terms and conditions of other stock or cash based awards, which may include vesting conditions based on continued service, performance and/or other conditions. |
• | Dividend Equivalents represent the right to receive the equivalent value of dividends paid on shares of our common stock and may be granted alone or in tandem with awards other than stock options or SARs. Dividend equivalents are converted to cash or shares by such formula and such time as determined by the administrator. Cash dividends will not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. In addition, dividend equivalents with respect to an award subject to vesting will either (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, not be paid or credited or (ii) be accumulated and subject to vesting to the same extent as the related award. |
• | Owlet stockholders will have the largest voting interest in the post-combination company; |
• | the board of directors of the post-combination company will have up to nine members, and Owlet will have the ability to nominate the majority of the members of the board of directors; |
• | Owlet management will continue to hold executive management roles for the post-combination company and be responsible for the day-to-day operations; |
• | the post-combination company will assume the Owlet name; |
• | the post-combination company will maintain the current Owlet headquarters; and |
• | the intended strategy of the post-combination entity will continue Owlet’s current strategy of product development and market penetration. |
• | the cancellation of each issued and outstanding share of Owlet common stock (including shares of Owlet common stock resulting from the deemed conversion of Owlet redeemable convertible preferred stock and outstanding unvested restricted shares of Owlet common stock) and the conversion into the right to receive a number of shares of New Owlet common stock shares equal to the Exchange Ratio; |
• | the assumed net share settlement of all outstanding Owlet warrants in accordance with their respective terms into the right to receive a number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio; and |
• | the conversion of all outstanding Owlet options into options exercisable for shares of New Owlet common stock with the same terms except for the number of shares exercisable and the exercise price, each of which will be adjusted using the Exchange Ratio, and assuming no cash elections by holders of Owlet options. |
• | Assuming No Redemption: This presentation assumes that no public stockholders of Sandbridge exercise redemption rights with respect to their public shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account. |
• | Assuming Maximum Redemption: This presentation assumes 7,000,000 of the public shares are redeemed for their pro rata share of the funds in Trust Account for aggregate redemption payments of $70.0 million. The Business Combination Agreement includes as a condition to closing the Business Combination that, at the Closing, Sandbridge will have a minimum of $140.0 million in cash comprising the cash held in the Trust Account after deducting (x) amounts payable for Sandbridge share redemptions and (y) deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account and Sandbridge’s expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and Sandbridge’s operations (such commissions and expenses estimated to be $20.0 million), but excluding the PIPE Investment Amount actually received by Sandbridge prior to or substantially concurrent with the Closing. This scenario is based on satisfaction of the Minimum Available Sandbridge Cash Amount condition. |
• | The issuance and sale of 13,000,000 shares of Sandbridge common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $130.0 million pursuant to the PIPE Investment; and |
• | Of the shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock beneficially owned by the Sponsor as of the Closing, 1,403,750 shares will vest at such time as a $12.50 stock price level is achieved and 1,403,750 will vest at such time as a $15.00 stock price level is achieved, in each case, on or before the fifth |
• | The accounting treatment of the shares of New Owlet common stock beneficially owned by the Sponsor but subject to vesting is being evaluated to assess if they qualify as equity classified instruments or liability classified instruments, including evaluating if the vesting events include events or adjustments that are not considered indexed to the fair value of the New Owlet common stock. The accounting for the private placement warrants is also being evaluated to assess if they qualify as equity classified instruments or liability classified instruments. If either of these arrangements are required to be accounted for as liabilities, then the shares that are subject to vesting and the Private Placement Warrants will be recognized as liabilities at fair value upon the Closing and remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date in future reporting periods with changes in fair value recorded in the New Owlet consolidated statement of operations. We expect to finalize our assessment of the accounting treatment prior to the Closing. |

• | Smart Sock – The award-winning Owlet Smart Sock is the first baby monitor to track an infant’s oxygen levels, heart rate, and sleep trends. The Owlet Smart Sock allows parents to view their baby’s heart rate and oxygen readings in real time from the Owlet application. If the baby’s readings ever fall outside of preset zones, parents are notified through the Owlet application and a nearby base station that the baby may need attention. |
• | Cam – The Owlet Cam turns any smartphone into a baby monitor, allowing parents to hear and see everything that is most important to them from anywhere in high-definition clarity. The Owlet Cam includes a wide-angle view, sound and motion notifications, and background audio to ensure parents never miss a moment. The Owlet Cam streams secure, encrypted video to parents’ own private accounts on the Owlet application. |
• | Monitor Duo – The Owlet Monitor Duo offers the intelligence of our award-winning Smart Sock paired with the Owlet Cam. It is the first smart baby monitor that combines the ability to track a baby’s heart rate, oxygen levels, and sleep trends with high-definition video, offering parents the most complete picture of their baby’s sleep and well-being. |
• | Dream Lab – Owlet Dream Lab is an interactive online platform that assists families in building healthy sleep habits with their babies of up to 12 months in age. Designed in partnership with pediatric sleep experts, Owlet Dream Lab offers personalized step-by-step sleep plans, video tutorials, and access to twice-weekly webinars for live support. |
• | Smart Sock Variants |
• | Smart Sock Plus – The Owlet Smart Sock Plus utilizes the same technology as the Owlet Smart Sock and is designed to grow with children, from newborn to five years. Through an expanded fabric sock set, the Owlet Smart Sock Plus would allow families to track oxygen levels, heart rates, and sleep trends for an age range that is three times larger than that of the existing Owlet Smart Sock. |
• | BabySat – Based on the Owlet Smart Sock, the Owlet BabySat is under development as a medical device that would, if authorized by the FDA, be sold for prescription use only. The Owlet BabySat is designed to utilize various telehealth platforms and is intended specifically for babies with diagnosed illnesses and health conditions. We have submitted a premarket notification to the FDA seeking 510(k) clearance of the Owlet BabySat. In January 2021, the FDA informed us that additional data would be needed to support 510(k) clearance for the product. We plan to engage with the FDA to obtain feedback on a proposed study design to generate such data to support a resubmission of our application for 510(k) clearance. |
• | Over-the-Counter “OTC” Smart Sock – The Owlet OTC Smart Sock is under development as a medical device that would be sold over-the-counter at retailers without a prescription. The Owlet OTC Smart Sock is designed to integrate with various telehealth platforms and preemptively screen for health conditions in babies with no existing medical or health issues. We anticipate that the Owlet OTC Smart Sock will require marketing authorization from the FDA prior to commercialization. |
• | Band – The Owlet Band is under development and designed for pregnant women between 24 to 40 weeks of gestation. The Owlet Band is intended to use safe and passive electrocardiogram sensors to allow expectant mothers to safely track their own sleep patterns and heart rate, in addition to tracking their baby’s heartbeat. Expectant parents will be able to view collected data in the Owlet pregnancy application as well as hear their baby’s heartbeat. For expectant mothers who often go weeks or months without insight into their pregnancy or their baby’s well-being, the Owlet Band is being developed to offer a deeper connection and reassurance to pregnant women at home. We anticipate that the Owlet Band may require marketing authorization from the FDA prior to commercialization. |

Choice of Forum | |||
The Current Charter requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in Sandbridge’s name, actions against directors, officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware, except any action (A) as to which the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten (10) days following such determination), (B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, or (D) any action created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. If an action is brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel.

• | Expected term — The estimate of the expected term of awards was determined in accordance with the simplified method, which estimates the term based on an averaging of the vesting period and contractual term of the option grant. |
• | Expected volatility — Since the Company is a private entity without sufficient historical data on the volatility of its ordinary stock, the expected volatility is based on the volatility of similar entities for a period consistent with the expected term of the award. In evaluating similarity, the Company considered factors such as industry, stage of life cycle, and size. |
• | Risk-free interest rate — The risk-free interest rate used to value awards is based on the United States Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for a period consistent with the expected term of the award. |
• | Dividend yield — The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not presently plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. |
• | Fair value of underlying common stock — As the Company’s common stock is not publicly traded, the fair value was determined by the Board of Directors with input from management and contemporaneous independent third-party valuations. |

Re: | Sponsor Agreement |
1) | The Sponsor and each Insider irrevocably agrees that it, he or she shall: |
a) | vote any Common Stock and Founder Shares owned by it, him or her (all such common stock, the “Covered Shares”) in favor of the Business Combination and each other proposal related to the Business Combination included on the agenda for the special meeting of stockholders relating to the Business Combination; |
b) | when such meeting of stockholders is held, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Covered Shares to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum; |
c) | vote (or execute and return an action by written consent), or cause to be voted at such meeting, or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect to, all of such Covered Shares against any Alternative Business Combination Proposal and any other action that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of Sandbridge or Merger Sub under the Business Combination Agreement or result in any of the conditions set forth in Article 6 of the Business Combination Agreement not being fulfilled, result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of the Sponsor or the Insiders contained in this Sponsor Agreement or change in any manner the dividend policy or capitalization of, including the voting rights of, any class of capital stock of Sandbridge; |
d) | vote (or execute and return an action by written consent), or cause to be voted at such meeting, or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect to, all of such Covered Shares against |
e) | not redeem any Founder Shares owned by it, him or her in connection with such stockholder approval. |
2) | The Sponsor agrees that it shall not: |
a) | Transfer any Founder Shares or Private Placement Warrants (or shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of Private Placement Warrants) until 18 months after the Closing (the “Lock-up Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sponsor shall be entitled to Transfer (i) one-third (1/3) of the Founder Shares and one-third (1/3) of the Private Placement Warrants Beneficially Owned by the Sponsor as of the Closing (and shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of such Private Placement Warrants) if the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 240 days following the Closing and (ii) an additional one-third (1/3) of the Founder Shares and one-third (1/3) of the Private Placement Warrants Beneficially Owned by the Sponsor as of the Closing (and shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of such Private Placement Warrants) if the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 240 days following the Closing. |
b) | Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 2(a), Transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Private Placement Warrants and that are held by the Sponsor, any Insider or any of their permitted transferees (that have complied with this paragraph 2(b)) are permitted (A) to Sandbridge’s officers or directors, any affiliate or family member of any of Sandbridge’s officers or directors or any affiliate of the Sponsor or to any member(s) of the Sponsor or any of their respective affiliates; (B) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of such individual’s immediate family or a charitable organization or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of such individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such individual or to a charitable organization; (C) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of such individual; (D) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; and (E) by private transfers or transfers made in connection with any contingent forward purchase agreement or similar arrangement or in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the shares or warrants were originally purchased; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (A) through (E), these permitted transferees, to the extent not already party hereto, must enter into a written agreement with Sandbridge agreeing to be bound by this Agreement. |
3) | Vesting Provisions. The Sponsor agrees that, as of immediately prior to (but subject to) the Closing, all of the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor as of the Closing shall be subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions set forth in this paragraph 3. The Sponsor agrees that it shall not (and will cause its affiliates not to) Transfer any unvested Founder Shares held by the Sponsor prior to the date such Founder Shares become vested pursuant to this paragraph 3, except to the extent permitted by paragraph 2(b). For the avoidance of doubt, the Founder Shares beneficially owned by the individual Insiders other than the Sponsor shall not be subject to vesting or forfeiture. |
a) | Vesting of Founder Shares. |
i) | Shares Subject to Vesting. 50% of the Founder Shares Beneficially Owned by the Sponsor as of the Closing shall not be subject to vesting and shall convert to shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Sandbridge. |
ii) | Shares Subject to Vesting. The remaining 50% of the Founder Shares Beneficially Owned by the Sponsor as of the Closing shall convert to shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Sandbridge and be subject to the following performance vesting terms: (1) 25% of the Founder Shares Beneficially Owned by the Sponsor as of the Closing shall vest at such time as a $12.50 stock price level is achieved and (2) the remaining 25% of the Founder Shares Beneficially Owned by the Sponsor as of the Closing shall vest at such time as a $15.00 stock price level is achieved, in each case, on or before the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. Such stock price levels will be equitably adjusted on account of any share split, reverse share split or similar equity restructuring transaction. Founder Shares subject to vesting pursuant to this paragraph 3(a)(ii) that do not vest in accordance with the terms of this paragraph 3(a)(ii) shall be forfeited. |
b) | Forfeiture of Unvested Founder Shares. Unvested Founder Shares that are forfeited pursuant to paragraph 3(a)(ii) shall be cancelled, without any consideration for such Transfer. |
c) | Stock Price Level. For purposes of this paragraph 3, the “stock price level” will be considered achieved only (a) when the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (or other exchange or other market where the Common Stock is then traded) is greater than or equal to the applicable price for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period or (b) in a Sandbridge Sale, the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Sandbridge Sale is greater than or equal to the applicable price (to the extent the price paid per share includes contingent consideration or property other than cash, the Sandbridge Board shall determine the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Sandbridge Sale in good faith). |
4) | The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees that, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending at the Effective Time, the Sponsor and each Insider shall not modify or amend any Contract between or among Sponsor or such Insider, anyone related by blood, marriage or adoption to the Sponsor or such Insider or any affiliate of the Sponsor or such Insider (other than Sandbridge and its Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and Sandbridge or any of Sandbridge’s Subsidiaries, on the other hand. |
5) | As used herein, (i) “Beneficially Own” has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act; (ii) “Founder Shares” shall mean the shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares in connection with the Closing; (iii) “Transfer” shall mean the (a) sale of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to, any security, (b) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (c) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a) or (b); provided that the exercise of any Private Placement Warrant(s) by the Sponsor or any permitted transferee of Sponsor, at any time, in the Sponsor or such transferee’s sole and absolute discretion, shall not constitute a “Transfer; (iv) “Common Stock” shall mean the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share of Sandbridge; (v) “Private Placement Warrants” shall mean the Sandbridge Warrants to purchase up to 6,600,000 shares of Common Stock that the Sponsor purchased for an aggregate purchase price $6,600,000, or $1.00 per Warrant, in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the consummation of Sandbridge’s initial public offering; (vi) “Sandbridge Sale” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the Business Combination): (a) any Person or any group of Persons acting together which would constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provisions thereto is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of Sandbridge representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of Sandbridge’s then outstanding voting securities, (b) consummation of a merger or consolidation of Sandbridge with any other corporation or other entity, and, immediately after the consummation of such merger or consolidation, either (x) the Sandbridge Board immediately prior to the merger or consolidation does not constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the company surviving the merger or, if the surviving company is a Subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof, or (y) the |
6) | This Sponsor Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement and the other agreements referenced herein and therein constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, with respect to the Sponsor, each Insider and the Prior Letter Agreement.

Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Sponsor Agreement shall be binding on the Sponsor, each Insider, Sandbridge and the Company and their respective successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns and permitted transferees. |
9) | Nothing in this Sponsor Agreement shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation other than the parties hereto any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Sponsor Agreement or of any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise or agreement hereof.

11) | This Sponsor Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or |
12) | This Sponsor Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Sponsor Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction. Any Proceeding based upon, arising out of or related to this Sponsor Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought in federal and state courts located in Wilmington in the State of Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Proceeding, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Proceeding shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Sponsor Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court.

The prevailing party in any such Proceeding (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred with respect to such Proceeding. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS SPONSOR AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY |
13) | Any notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Sponsor Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by express mail or similar private courier service, by certified mail (return receipt requested), by hand delivery or facsimile or e-mail transmission. |

In the event of a valid termination of the Business Combination Agreement, this Sponsor Agreement shall be of no force and effect and the parties agree that the Prior Letter Agreement shall be effective and binding upon them in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of such agreement herein. No such termination or reinstatement of the Prior Letter Agreement shall relieve the Sponsor, any Insider, Sandbridge or the Company from any liability resulting from a breach of this Sponsor Agreement occurring prior to such termination or reinstatement. |
15) | The Sponsor and each Insider hereby represents and warrants (severally and not jointly, and as to itself, himself or herself only) to Sandbridge and the Company as follows: (i) if such Person is not an individual, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized, and such party has all necessary power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Sponsor Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) if such Person is an individual, such Person has full legal capacity, right and authority to execute and deliver this Sponsor Agreement and to perform his or her obligations hereunder; (iii) this Sponsor Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Person and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties to this Sponsor Agreement, this Sponsor Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of such Person, enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms hereof (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy Laws, other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies); (iv) the execution and delivery of this Sponsor Agreement by such Person does not, and the performance by such Person of his, her or its obligations hereunder will not, (A) if such Person is not an individual, conflict with or result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Person, or (B) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any third party (including under any Contract binding upon such Person or such Person’s Founder Shares or Private Placement Warrants, as applicable), in each case, to the extent such consent, approval or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Person of his, her or its obligations under this Sponsor Agreement; (v) there are no Proceedings pending against such Person or, to the knowledge of such Person, threatened against |
16) | The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) Sandbridge and, prior to any valid termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by the Sponsor or any Insider of its, his or her obligations under paragraphs 1 and 2, as applicable, of this Sponsor Agreement, (ii) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and (iii) the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in the event of such breach. The Sponsor and each Insider shall also be entitled to seek injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such parties may have in law or in equity, in the event of a breach under this Sponsor Agreement. |
17) | Through the date of the Closing, Sandbridge will maintain an insurance policy or policies providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and each Insider who is a director or officer of Sandbridge or its subsidiaries shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any other Sandbridge director or officer. |

19) | If, and as often as, (a) there is any stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification that results in the Sponsor acquiring new Founder Shares or new Private Placement Warrants, (b) the Sponsor purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership of any Founder Shares or the Private Placement Warrants after the date of this Sponsor Agreement, or (c) Sponsor acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of any Founder Shares after the date of this Sponsor Agreement (such Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants collectively the “New Securities”), then, in each case, such New Securities acquired or purchased by the Sponsor shall be subject to the terms of this Sponsor Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Founder Shares or Private Placement Warrants owned by Sponsor as of the date hereof. |
20) | Each of the parties hereto agrees to execute and deliver hereafter any further document, agreement or instrument of assignment, transfer or conveyance as may be necessary or desirable to effectuate the purposes hereof and as may be reasonably requested in writing by another party hereto. |

All sections of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including, without limitation, restrictions on use, accrued rights to payment, data, confidentiality obligations, indemnification obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability. |
7 | Transition Assistance Services. If Ayla discontinues the Services or Documentation, ceases to do business in the ordinary course, or files any petition for bankruptcy, Ayla will, at Subscriber's cost, provide to Subscriber reasonable transition assistance to allow the Services to continue without interruption or disruption, to minimize adverse effect, and to facilitate the orderly transfer of the services to Subscriber or Subscriber's designee. |
8 | WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMER. Ayla shall use reasonable efforts consistent with prevailing industry standards to provide and maintain the Services in a manner which minimizes errors and interruptions in the Services. Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by Ayla or by third-party providers, or because of other causes beyond Ayla's reasonable control, but Ayla shall use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice in writing or by e-mail of any scheduled service disruption. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, THE SERVICES, ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND AYLA EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. |
9 | LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. |
9.1 | UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) SHALL AYLA BE LIABLE TO SUBSCRIBER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES OR BUSINESS, LOST DATA OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR (B) FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES, COSTS, LOSSES OR LIABILITIES IN EXCESS OF THE FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY SUBSCRIBER IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUBSCRIBER'S CLAIM. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, AND THE PARTIES HAVE RELIED ON THESE LIMITATIONS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. |
9.2 | Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply to Subscriber. IN THESE STATES, AYLA'S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. |
9.3 | The Services are not designed, intended, or certified for use in components of systems intended for the operation of weapons, weapons systems, nuclear installations, means of mass transportation, aviation, life support computers or equipment (including resuscitation equipment and surgical implants), pollution control, hazardous substances management, or for any other dangerous application in which the failure of the Services could create a situation where personal injury or death may occur. Subscriber may not use the Services in connection with such equipment or application. |
10 | Indemnification. |
10.1 | Subscriber shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Ayla from and against any claims, actions or demands, including without limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising or resulting from Subscriber's breach of this Agreement, or Subscriber's use or misuse of the Services. |
10.2 | Ayla shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Subscriber against any liabilities, damages and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) payable to a third party arising out of a third party claim alleging that the use of the Services as permitted herein infringe any third party intellectual property right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ayla will have no obligation under this section or otherwise with respect to any infringement claim to the extent based upon (i) any unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of the Services, any breach of this Agreement by Subscriber, or any specifications supplied by Subscriber which cannot be implemented in a manner without causing the relevant claim, (ii) any combination of the Services with other products, equipment, software, uses or data not supplied, authorized or recommended by Ayla, (iii) any modification of the Services by any person other than Ayla or its authorized agents or contractors or (iv) any activity after Ayla has provided Subscriber with a work around or modification that would have avoided such issue without materially adversely affecting the functionality or availability of the Services. Further, if Ayla reasonably believes that all or any portion of the Services, or the use thereof, is likely to become the subject of any infringement claim, suit or proceeding, Ayla will procure, at Ayla's expense, for Subscriber the right to continue using the Services in accordance with the terms hereof, replace or modify the allegedly infringing Service to make it non-infringing, or, in the event the preceding is infeasible or not commercially practicable, Ayla may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement or the applicable Statement of Work upon written notice to Subscriber and refund to Subscriber any prepaid amounts for unused Services. |
10.3 | A party seeking indemnity shall provide the indemnifying party with prompt notice of any claim, allow the indemnifying sole control over defense and settlement of the claim, and provide reasonable assistance with defense and settlement. |
11 | Export Controls. Subscriber may not remove or export from the United States or allow the export or re-export of the Services, Software or anything related thereto, or any direct product thereof in violation of any restrictions, laws or regulations of the United States Department of Commerce, the United States Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control, or any other United States or foreign agency or authority. As defined in FAR section 2.101, the Software and documentation are "commercial items" and according to DFAR section 252.2277014(a)(1) and (5) are deemed to be "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation." Consistent with DFAR section 227.7202 and FAR section 12.212, any use modification, reproduction, release, performance, display, or disclosure of such commercial software or commercial software documentation by the U.S. Government will be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement and will be prohibited except to the extent expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement. |
12 | Miscellaneous. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. This Agreement is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by Subscriber except with Ayla's prior written consent. Ayla may transfer and assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without consent. This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, and that all waivers and modifications must be. in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and Subscriber does not have any authority of any kind to bind Ayla in any respect whatsoever. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys' fees. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to the principles of conflicts of law. Unless otherwise elected by Ayla in a particular instance, Subscriber hereby expressly agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of the State of California for the purpose of resolving any dispute relating to Subscriber's access to or use of the Service. |
IN WITNESS THEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day, month, and year written above.

1. | Section 2, “Access and Use of the Service; Restrictions” |
Section 2.1 shall be supplemented with the following:
Subject to the terms stated herein and Customer’s performance of its obligations, Ayla grants to Customer a personal, non-exclusive, license to use the Software, which, as defined herein includes software made available to Customer in source code format. Customer may use the Software solely to de-bug the software embedded in its device(s) or application(s) solely for the purpose of connecting to the Ayla cloud platform. The ‘Ayla cloud platform’ includes the developer platform (which is Ayla’s proprietary developer and testing cloud platform) and the field platform (which is Ayla’s proprietary production cloud platform). Customer’s rights are for internal company use only, and Customer shall not disclose, distribute or otherwise transfer the Software for any purpose. Customer may not use such Software to connect to any other cloud service or platform. Any transfer by Customer of any Software or other application made available in source code format is prohibited. The Software is provided to Customer on an ‘as-is, where-is’ basis, and Ayla will not provide support, documentation or any other assistance. If Customer discovers a bug using the Software, Customer may request that Ayla provide a patch in accordance with applicable support policies and procedures.
In addition to the terms contained herein, Customer agrees that Software is considered Confidential Information and is accessible only by Customer's employees who have a need to access the Software. Customer warrants that: (a) any such employee has been apprised of and acknowledges the confidential and proprietary nature of the Software; (b) has been trained in accordance with industry standard procedures designed to preserve the confidentiality of the Software; and (c) its employees are aware and agree to Customer's obligations to use the Software only under the conditions permitted herein. Customer will not allow hard copy versions of any portion of the Software to exist except within secure locations. Customer will not allow soft copy versions of any portion of Software to reside on computers or networks unless they are password protected with access available only to authorized employees. Ayla may, from time to time and upon reasonable prior written notice, audit Customer’s compliance with the terms contained herein. Customer will be responsible and fully liable to Ayla for any breach hereunder. If there is any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Software, Customer shall notify Ayla immediately and fully cooperate, at Customer's expense, in minimizing the effects of such unauthorized use or disclosure.
The Software may contain third party materials, including software (along with libraries, databases, drivers and similar components, or portions thereof) that is made available for use under a free or open source license. In addition to the restrictions and obligations stated herein, Customer will comply with any restrictions and obligations related to the third party materials. The third party materials are published at http://www.aylanetworks.com/third-party-software, and may be updated from time to time. Customer shall not use or take action with any portion of the Software in a manner that would: (a) require the Software to be disclosed or distributed in source code format; or (b) require the Software to be modified or derivative works made without additional compensation; or (c) require the Software be redistributable at no charge; or (d) permits reverse engineering of the Software; or (e) require the Software to be used only for non-commercial purposes; or (f) require third party attribution; or (g) restrict any rights to assert or enforce patent rights.
The Software is not designed, intended, or certified for use involving the operation of weapons, weapons systems, nuclear installations, means of mass transportation, aviation, life support computers, pollution control, hazardous substance management. Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, transmit, disclose or otherwise provide: (i) social security numbers (or similar personal identification number) ; (ii) health insurance or policy identification numbers, protected health information regulated under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996; or (iii) credit card, payment account information or any other payment information where the transfer to and processing by Ayla would cause Ayla to be subject to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. If Customer, directly or indirectly, transmits or provides to Ayla any Data or information described herein, Customer shall indemnify, and hold Ayla harmless from and against, any liability arising from such transmission.
2. | Section 8, “Warranties and Disclaimer” |
For Software provided in source code format, Ayla does not warrant that any Software modified by Customer will achieve the functionality described in the Agreement or elsewhere.
3. | Section 10, “Indemnification” |
Section 10.2 shall be supplemented with the following:
Ayla shall have no obligations under this section or otherwise with respect to any infringement claim to the extent such claim is based upon or arises out of any modification or alteration of the Software, including any changes in the source code unless such changes were made by Ayla.
This Amendment is effective as of July 14, 2020. To the extent there is a conflict between the Agreement and this Amendment, the terms contained in this Amendment shall control. Other than as expressly agreed herein, no other terms in the Agreement are affected or modified.

1. | TERM AND SCOPE |
Term. This Agreement is effective on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect for a period of one (1) year. Thereafter, this Agreement will be extended automatically on each anniversary date for successive one (1) year periods, until one Party provides written notice of non-renewal at least ninety (90) days before the end of the then-current term or extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term of this Agreement shall automatically extend to include the term of any Order accepted hereunder, except where this Agreement has been terminated for cause.
Scope. This Agreement shall only cover the sale of goods and/or manufacturing services by Benchmark to Customer. If Customer desires for Benchmark to provide goods and/or manufacturing services to Customer’s Affiliate, or for a Benchmark Affiliate to provide goods and/or manufacturing services to Customer and/or its Affiliate, the engagement of such goods and/or manufacturing services shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement upon the execution by the contracting entities of an SOW incorporating, in whole or in part, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and adding any additional terms or modifying any existing terms of the Agreement necessary to reflect the manufacturing and business requirements unique to the relationship between the contracting entities. Benchmark and Customer shall also complete an SOW for the purposes of this Agreement.
(a) DFx. Customer shall ensure that its Product(s) design adheres to good engineering practices. Benchmark may provide DFx services to Customer related to Products manufactured under this Agreement, or in connection with quoting new manufacturing opportunities. Customer is responsible for any changes it elects to incorporate into its design, including any DFx.

(d) Customer’s indemnity under this Section 13.2 is limited to the extent that any such Claims are within Benchmark’s indemnity obligation to Customer in Section 13.1.
0.50 | Infringement Mitigation. |
(e) Injunction Mitigation. In addition to Benchmark’s indemnity obligation to Customer, if use of the Product is enjoined based on a claim of Intellectual Property Infringement solely due to Benchmark’s manufacturing processes or Benchmark Pre-Existing IP, Benchmark will, at its sole expense and option and as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for such injunctions: (i) procure the right for Customer Indemnitees to continue using the Product; (ii) replace the Product with a non-infringing product of substantially similar function and performance; (iii) modify the Product to be non-infringing; or (iv) refund to Customer a pro rata amount for any payments made by Customer for the affected Product. In the event Benchmark is unable, despite its best efforts, to avail itself of the options set forth in (i), (ii) or (iii), Benchmark shall have the right, in furtherance of its obligation to mitigate and/or prevent further damages, to suspend manufacturing and its performance hereunder, solely as it relates to the item, Component and/or Product which is the subject of the Claim until such Claim is settled or otherwise resolved.
(f) Continued Infringement Mitigation. In the event of a claim of Intellectual Property Infringement under Section 13.2(a)ii) above, Benchmark shall have the right, in furtherance of its obligation to mitigate and/or prevent further damages, to suspend manufacturing and its performance hereunder, solely as it relates to the item, Component and/or Product which is the subject of the Claim until such Claim is settled or otherwise resolved.
Indemnification Procedure. A Party entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 13 (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the other Party from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any Claims covered by this indemnity. Promptly after receipt of such notice, the Indemnitor shall assume the defense of such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor fails, within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, to assume the defense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee or, if in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee, a direct or indirect conflict of interest exists between the Parties with respect to the Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise and settlement of such Claim for the account and at the expense of the Indemnitor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnitee in its sole judgment so elects, the Indemnitee may also participate in the defense of such action by employing counsel at its expense, without waiving the Indemnitor’s obligation to indemnify and defend. The Indemnitor shall not compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment without an unconditional release of all liability of the Indemnitee to each claimant or plaintiff.

The waiver of any rights or obligations of a Party, or the waiver of a breach or potential breach of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any other rights or obligations, or of a breach of any other provisions, nor will it be deemed to be a general waiver of such provision by the waiving Party or to sanction any subsequent breach thereof by the other Party.
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid by any law, rule, order, or regulation of any government or by the final determination of any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the enforceability of any other provisions and such provisions shall be interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or applicable court decisions.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of April 22, 2020 (the “Effective Date”) between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation (“Bank”), and OWLET BABY CARE INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), provides the terms on which Bank shall lend to Borrower and Borrower shall repay Bank.
RECITALS
A. Bank and Borrower entered into that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 21, 2017 (as the same has been amended, modified, supplemented, renewed, or otherwise modified, from to time, the “Prior Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the Prior Loan Agreement, Bank made certain loans and other credit accommodations available to Borrower, including, without limitation, growth capital term loan advances in the aggregate original principal amount not to exceed Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) (each an “Existing Growth Capital Advance”, and collectively, the “Existing Growth Capital Advances”).
B. Borrower has requested that Bank, and Bank has agreed to, among other things, (i) make a new term loan available to Borrower which will repay in full, the Existing Growth Capital Advances, and (ii) replace, amend, and restate the Prior Loan Agreement in its entirety.
AGREEMENT
The parties hereby agree that the Prior Loan Agreement is hereby amended, restated, and replaced in its entirety as follows:
1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS
Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP, except with respect to unaudited financial statements for the absence of footnotes and subject to year-end audit adjustments, provided that if at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any covenant requirement set forth in any of the Loan Documents, and either Borrower or Bank shall so request, Borrower and Bank shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or covenant requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP; provided, further, that, until so amended, such covenant requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein; provided, further, that all obligations of any Person that are or would have been treated as operating leases for purposes of GAAP prior to the issuance by the ASU shall continue to be accounted for as operating leases for purposes of all financial definitions, calculations and covenants for purpose of this Agreement (whether or not such operating lease obligations were in effect on such date) notwithstanding the fact that such obligations are required in accordance with the ASU (on a prospective or retroactive basis or otherwise) to be treated as capitalized lease obligations in accordance with GAAP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all financial covenant and other financial calculations shall be computed with respect to Borrower only, and not on a consolidated basis. Notwithstanding any terms in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of any financial covenant and other financial calculations in this Agreement (other than for purposes of updating the Borrowing Base) which are made in whole or in part based upon the Availability Amount as of the last day of a particular month, calculations relying on information from a Borrowing Base Statement shall be derived from the Borrowing Base Statement delivered either (i) within seven (7) days of month end or (ii) weekly if the Streamline Period is not in effect, pursuant to Section 6.2(a) (and not, for clarity, any more recent Borrowing Base Statement delivered after such period), and the actual delivery date of such Borrowing Base Statement shall be deemed to be the last day of the applicable month. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13.1. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein.
2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.
2.2 Revolving Line.
(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to deduction of Reserves, Bank shall make Advances not exceeding the Availability Amount. Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Line may be repaid and, prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, reborrowed, subject to the applicable terms and conditions precedent herein.
(b) Termination; Repayment. The Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be immediately due and payable.
2.3 Existing Growth Capital Advances. Borrower hereby acknowledges that, as part of the Prior Loan Agreement, Bank made available to Borrower, the Existing Growth Capital Advances in the aggregate original principal amount equal to Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000). Borrower acknowledges and agrees that as of the Effective Date, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Existing Growth Capital Advances is Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000), which remains outstanding and is continued as an Obligation hereunder as of the Effective Date, (ii) that such sum is not subject to any offset or defense of any kind whatsoever, and in the event Borrower has any offsets or defenses thereto, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives all such offsets and defenses, (iii) there is no further availability to borrow under the Existing Growth Capital Advances, and (iv) that the Existing Growth Capital Advances will be replaced by the Growth Capital Advances (as defined below) as more fully described herein. The Obligations owing with respect to the Existing Growth Capital Advances have not been extinguished or discharged hereby and the execution of this Agreement is not intended to and shall not cause or result in a novation with respect to the Existing Growth Capital Advances. Borrower shall, on or about the Effective Date and in conjunction with Borrower’s execution of this Agreement, use a portion of the proceeds from the Tranche One Growth Capital Advance to repay in full in cash all of the Obligations owing to Bank under the Existing Growth Capital Advances.
2.4 Growth Capital Advances.
(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank shall make a growth capital term loan available to Borrower in multiple advances (each, a “Growth Capital Advance” and, collectively, “Growth Capital Advances”) in an aggregate original principal amount not to exceed the Growth Capital Commitment Amount. The Growth Capital Advances shall be available in two (2) tranches as follows: (a) the first (1st) tranche of the Growth Capital Advances will be funded on or about the Effective Date as a single Growth Capital Advance in an original principal amount of Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) (the “Tranche One Growth Capital Advance”), and (b) provided that Bank has determined that Borrower has achieved the Tranche Two Milestone, the second (2nd) tranche shall be available to Borrower during the Tranche Two Draw Period in multiple advances in the aggregate original principal amount not to exceed Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000). Each Growth Capital Advance shall not be less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). After repayment, no Growth Capital Advance (or any portion thereof) may be re-borrowed.
(b) Interest-Only Payments. With respect to each Growth Capital Advance, commencing on the first Payment Date following the Funding Date of such Growth Capital Advance and continuing on the Payment Date of each month thereafter during the Interest-Only Period, Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest, in arrears, on the principal amount of such Growth Capital Advance at the rate set forth in Section 2.6(a)(ii).
(c) Principal and Interest Payments. For each Growth Capital Advance, commencing on the Conversion Date and continuing on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall repay each Growth Capital Advance in Applicable Number of consecutive equal monthly payments of principal, each in an amount which would fully amortize the outstanding Growth Capital Advances, as of the Conversion Date, over the Growth Capital Repayment Period, plus accrued interest, which interest shall be calculated at the rate set forth in Section 2.6(a)(ii). All unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Growth Capital Advances is due and payable in full on the Growth Capital Maturity Date.
2 |
(d) Permitted Prepayment. Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Growth Capital Advances, provided Borrower (i) delivers written notice to Bank of its election to prepay the Growth Capital Advances at least ten (10) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays, on the date of such prepayment (A) the outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Growth Capital Advances, (B) the Prepayment Fee, and (C) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable with respect to the Growth Capital Advances, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.
(e) Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration. If the Growth Capital Advances are accelerated by Bank following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank an amount equal to the sum of (i) all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Growth Capital Advances, (ii) the Prepayment Fee, and (iii) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable with respect to the Growth Capital Advances, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.
2.5 Overadvances. If, at any time, the outstanding principal amount of any Advances exceeds the lesser of either the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash the amount of such excess (such excess, the “Overadvance”). Without limiting Borrower’s obligation to repay Bank any Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay Bank interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at a per annum rate equal to the rate that is otherwise applicable to Advances plus five percent (5.0%).
2.6 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.
(a) Interest Rate.
(i) Advances. Subject to Section 2.6(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to (1) when a Streamline Period is in effect, the greater of (A) three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) above the Prime Rate or (B) five and one-half of one percent (5.50%), or (2) at all other times, the greater of (A) one and one-quarter of one percent (1.25%) above the Prime Rate or (B) six percent (6.00%) which interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.6(d) below.
(ii) Growth Capital Advances.

Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Bank Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.6(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank.
(c) Adjustment to Interest Rate. Changes to the interest rate of any Credit Extension based on changes to the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of any change to the Prime Rate and to the extent of any such change.
3 |
(d) Payment; Interest Computation. Interest is payable monthly on the Payment Date of each month and shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest, (i) all payments received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on any day shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Business Day, and (ii) the date of the making of any Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension.

Payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, and on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Bank a fee (the “Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee”) in an amount equal to one-fifth of one percent (0.20%) per annum of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line, as determined by Bank, computed on the basis of a year with the applicable number of days as set forth in Section 2.6(d). The unused portion of the Revolving Line, for purposes of this calculation, shall be calculated on a calendar year basis and shall equal the difference between (i) the Revolving Line, and (ii) the average for the period of the daily closing balance of the Revolving Line outstanding.
(e) Prepayment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Bank the Prepayment Fee, when due hereunder, provided, however, Bank agrees to waive the Prepayment Fee if (a) at the time of such prepayment of the Growth Capital Advances, a Liquidity Event has occurred or (b) if Borrower closes on the refinance and re-documentation of the Growth Capital Advances under this Agreement with Bank (in its sole and exclusive discretion) prior to the Growth Capital Maturity Date.

Bank may deduct amounts owing by Borrower under the clauses of this Section 2.7 pursuant to the terms of Section 2.8(c). Bank shall provide Borrower written notice of deductions made from the Designated Deposit Account pursuant to the terms of the clauses of this Section 2.7.

Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.
4 |
(b) Bank has the exclusive right to determine the order and manner in which all payments with respect to the Obligations may be applied. Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Bank shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrower to Bank or otherwise received by Bank under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.
(c) Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes Bank when due. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.
2.9 Withholding. Payments received by Bank from Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings, assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority (including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto but excluding taxes imposed or measured by net income, franchise taxes and branch profits taxes imposed solely as a result of Bank being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office or applicable office in the jurisdiction imposing such tax). Specifically, however, if at any time any Governmental Authority, applicable law, regulation or international agreement requires Borrower to make any withholding or deduction from any such payment or other sum payable hereunder to Bank, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that the amount due from Borrower with respect to such payment or other sum payable hereunder will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such required withholding or deduction, Bank receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no withholding or deduction been required, and Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority. Borrower will, upon request, furnish Bank with proof reasonably satisfactory to Bank indicating that Borrower has made such withholding payment; provided, however, that Borrower need not make any withholding payment if the amount or validity of such withholding payment is contested in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and as to which payment in full is bonded or reserved against by Borrower.

4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST
4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants Bank, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Bank, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof.
Borrower acknowledges that it previously has entered, and/or may in the future enter, into Bank Services Agreements with Bank. Regardless of the terms of any Bank Services Agreement, Borrower agrees that any amounts Borrower owes Bank thereunder shall be deemed to be Obligations hereunder and that it is the intent of Borrower and Bank to have all such Obligations secured by the first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral granted herein (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to have superior priority to Bank’s Lien in this Agreement).
If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and at such time as Bank’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Bank shall, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower. In the event (x) all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), except for Bank Services, are satisfied in full, and (y) this Agreement is terminated, Bank shall terminate the security interest granted herein upon Borrower providing cash collateral acceptable to Bank in its good faith business judgment for Bank Services, if any. In the event such Bank Services consist of outstanding Letters of Credit, Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to (x) if such Letters of Credit are denominated in Dollars, then at least one hundred five percent (105.0%); and (y) if such Letters of Credit are denominated in a Foreign Currency, then at least one hundred ten percent (110.0%), of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit.
4.2 Priority of Security Interest. Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to have superior priority to Bank’s Lien under this Agreement). If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim with an amount at issue in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank.
7 |
4.3 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the Code.
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 Due Organization, Authorization; Power and Authority. Borrower is duly existing and in good standing as a Registered Organization in its jurisdiction of formation and is qualified and licensed to do business and is in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.

5.4 Litigation. There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer, threatened in writing by or against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving more than, individually or in the aggregate, One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).
5.5 Financial Statements; Financial Condition. All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Bank by submission to the Financial Statement Repository or otherwise submitted to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to the Financial Statement Repository or otherwise submitted to Bank.
5.6 Solvency. The fair salable value of Borrower’s consolidated assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of Borrower’s liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.
5.7 Regulatory Compliance. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower (a) has complied in all material respects with all Requirements of Law, and (b) has not violated any Requirements of Law the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business. None of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Governmental Authorities that are necessary to continue their respective businesses as currently conducted.
5.8 Subsidiaries; Investments. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership, or other ownership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.
5.9 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Borrower has timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower has timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower except (a) to the extent such taxes are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted, so long as such reserve or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made therefor, or (b) if such taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions do not, individually or in the aggregate, exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000).
To the extent Borrower defers payment of any contested taxes, Borrower shall (i) notify Bank in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, and (ii) post bonds or take any other steps required to prevent the Governmental Authority levying such contested taxes from obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a “Permitted Lien.” Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000). Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.
5.10 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Growth Capital Advances solely (i) to refinance the Existing Growth Capital Advances and (ii) as working capital and to fund its general business requirements and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Advances solely as working capital and to fund its general business requirements and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.
5.11 Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any report, certificate, or written statement submitted to the Financial Statement Repository or otherwise submitted to Bank, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together with all such written reports, written certificates and written statements submitted to the Financial Statement Repository or otherwise submitted to Bank, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the reports, certificates, or written statements not misleading (it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results).
10 |
5.12 Definition of “Knowledge.” For purposes of the Loan Documents, whenever a representation or warranty is made to Borrower’s knowledge or awareness, to the “best of” Borrower’s knowledge, or with a similar qualification, knowledge or awareness means the actual knowledge, after reasonable investigation, of any Responsible Officer.
6. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
Borrower shall do all of the following:
6.1 Government Compliance.
(a) Maintain its and all its Subsidiaries’ legal existence and good standing in their respective jurisdictions of formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business or operations. Borrower shall comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, in all material respects, with all laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject.
(b) Obtain all of the Governmental Approvals necessary for the performance by Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the grant of a security interest to Bank in the Collateral.

(d) within thirty (30) days after the last day of each month and together with the Monthly Financial Statements, a completed Compliance Statement, confirming that as of the end of such month, Borrower was in full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and setting forth calculations showing compliance with the financial covenants set forth in this Agreement and such other information as Bank may reasonably request;
11 |
(e) within the earlier of January 31st of each year or fifteen (15) days after the approval by Borrower’s Board of Directors, (1) annual operating budgets (including income statements, balance sheets and cash flow statements, by month) for the upcoming fiscal year of Borrower, and (2) annual financial projections for the following fiscal year (on a quarterly basis), in each case as approved by the Board, together with any related business forecasts used in the preparation of such annual financial projections;
(f) as soon as available, and in any event within one hundred eighty (180) days following the end of Borrower’s fiscal year, audited consolidated financial statements prepared under GAAP, consistently applied, together with an unqualified opinion (except for a qualification with respect to going concern that is typical for venture backed companies similar to Borrower) on the financial statements from an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Bank;
(g) prompt written notice of any changes to the beneficial ownership information set out in Section 2 of the Perfection Certificate. Borrower understands and acknowledges that Bank relies on such true, accurate and up-to-date beneficial ownership information to meet Bank’s regulatory obligations to obtain, verify and record information about the beneficial owners of its legal entity customers.
(h) in the event that Borrower becomes subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act within five (5) days of filing, copies of all periodic and other reports, proxy statements and other materials filed by Borrower and/or any Guarantor with the SEC, any Governmental Authority succeeding to any or all of the functions of the SEC or with any national securities exchange, or distributed to its shareholders, as the case may be. Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the terms hereof (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the SEC) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which Borrower posts such documents, or provides a link thereto, on Borrower’s website on the internet at Borrower’s website address; provided, however, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in writing (which may be by electronic mail) of the posting of any such documents;
(i) a copy of each 409(a) valuation report for Borrower’s capital stock within thirty (30) days after completion thereof and more frequently as updated;

(l) promptly, from time to time, such other information regarding Borrower or compliance with the terms of any Loan Documents as reasonably requested by Bank.

12 |
6.3 Accounts Receivable.
(a) Schedules and Documents Relating to Accounts. Borrower shall deliver to Bank transaction reports and schedules of collections, as provided in Section 6.2, on Bank’s standard forms; provided, however, that Borrower’s failure to execute and deliver the same shall not affect or limit Bank’s Lien and other rights in all of Borrower’s Accounts, nor shall Bank’s failure to advance or lend against a specific Account affect or limit Bank’s Lien and other rights therein. If requested by Bank, Borrower shall furnish Bank with copies (or, at Bank’s request, originals) of all contracts, orders, invoices, and other similar documents, and all shipping instructions, delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other evidence of delivery, for any goods the sale or disposition of which gave rise to such Accounts. In addition, Borrower shall deliver to Bank, on its request, the originals of all instruments, chattel paper, security agreements, guarantees and other documents and property evidencing or securing any Accounts, in the same form as received, with all necessary indorsements, and copies of all credit memos.
(b) Disputes. Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of all disputes or claims relating to Accounts. Borrower may forgive (completely or partially), compromise, or settle any Account for less than payment in full, or agree to do any of the foregoing so long as (i) Borrower does so in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner, in the ordinary course of business, in arm’s-length transactions, and reports the same to Bank in the regular reports provided to Bank; (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (iii) after taking into account all such discounts, settlements and forgiveness, the total outstanding Advances will not exceed the lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base.
(c) Collection of Accounts. Borrower shall direct Account Debtors to deliver or transmit all proceeds of Accounts into a lockbox account, or via electronic capture into a “blocked account” as specified by Bank (either such account, the “Cash Collateral Account”). Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall immediately deliver all payments on and proceeds of Accounts to the Cash Collateral Account. Subject to Bank’s right to maintain a reserve pursuant to Section 6.3(d), all amounts received in the Cash Collateral Account shall be (i) when a Streamline Period is not in effect, applied to immediately reduce the Obligations under the Revolving Line (unless Bank, in its sole discretion, at times when an Event of Default exists, elects not to so apply such amounts), or (ii) when a Streamline Period is in effect, transferred on a daily basis to Borrower’s operating account with Bank. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to transfer to the Cash Collateral Account any amounts that Bank reasonably determines are proceeds of the Accounts (provided that Bank is under no obligation to do so and this allowance shall in no event relieve Borrower of its obligations hereunder).
(d) Reserves. Notwithstanding any terms in this Agreement to the contrary, at times when an Event of Default exists, Bank may hold any proceeds of the Accounts and any amounts in the Cash Collateral Account that are not applied to the Obligations pursuant to Section 6.3(c) above (including amounts otherwise required to be transferred to Borrower’s operating account with Bank when a Streamline Period is in effect) as a reserve to be applied to any Obligations regardless of whether such Obligations are then due and payable.
(e) Returns. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if any Account Debtor returns any Inventory to Borrower, Borrower shall promptly (i) determine the reason for such return, (ii) issue a credit memorandum to the Account Debtor in the appropriate amount, and (iii) provide a copy of such credit memorandum to Bank, upon request from Bank. In the event any attempted return occurs after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower shall hold the returned Inventory in trust for Bank, and immediately notify Bank of the return of the Inventory.
(f) Verifications; Confirmations; Credit Quality; Notifications. Bank may, from time to time, (i) verify and confirm directly with the respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to the Accounts, either in the name of Borrower or Bank or such other name as Bank may choose, and notify any Account Debtor of Bank’s security interest in such Account and/or (ii) conduct a credit check of any Account Debtor to approve any such Account Debtor’s credit.
(g) No Liability. Bank shall not be responsible or liable for any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or destruction of, any goods, the sale or other disposition of which gives rise to an Account, or for any error, act, omission, or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, failure to settle, collection or failure to collect any Account, or for settling any Account in good faith for less than the full amount thereof, nor shall Bank be deemed to be responsible for any of Borrower’s obligations under any contract or agreement giving rise to an Account. Nothing herein shall, however, relieve Bank from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
13 |
6.4 Remittance of Proceeds. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3(c), deliver, in kind, all proceeds arising from the disposition of any Collateral to Bank in the original form in which received by Borrower not later than the following Business Day after receipt by Borrower, to be applied to the Obligations (a) prior to an Event of Default, pursuant to the terms of Section 6.3(c) hereof, and (b) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, pursuant to the terms of Section 9.4 hereof; provided that, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to remit to Bank the proceeds of the sale of worn out or obsolete Equipment disposed of by Borrower in good faith in an arm’s length transaction for an aggregate purchase price of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) or less (for all such transactions in any fiscal year). Borrower agrees that it will not commingle proceeds of Collateral with any of Borrower’s other funds or property, but will hold such proceeds separate and apart from such other funds and property and in an express trust for Bank. Nothing in this Section 6.4 limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
6.5 Taxes; Pensions. Timely file, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely file, all required tax returns and reports and timely pay, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, except for deferred payment of any taxes contested pursuant to the terms of Section 5.9 hereof, and shall deliver to Bank, on demand, appropriate certificates attesting to such payments, and pay all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms.
6.6 Access to Collateral; Books and Records. At reasonable times, on one (1) Business Day’s notice (provided no notice is required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Bank, or its agents, shall have the right to inspect the Collateral and the right to audit and copy Borrower’s Books. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be conducted no more often than once every twelve (12) months (or more frequently as Bank in its sole discretion determines that conditions warrant), unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in which case such inspections and audits shall occur as often as Bank shall determine is necessary. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be conducted at Borrower’s expense and the charge therefor shall be One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent Bank’s then-current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In the event Borrower and Bank schedule an audit more than eight (8) days in advance, and Borrower cancels or seeks to or reschedules the audit with less than eight (8) days written notice to Bank, then (without limiting any of Bank’s rights or remedies) Borrower shall pay Bank a fee of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000) plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Bank to compensate Bank for the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation or rescheduling. In addition to the above, Borrower hereby agrees that an inventory appraisal performed by a valuation firm satisfactory to Bank shall be conducted no more often than once every twelve (12) months (or more frequently as Bank in its sole discretion determines that conditions warrant), unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in which case such inspections and audits shall occur as often as Bank shall determine is necessary.
6.7 Insurance.
(a) Keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks (including, without limitation, loss or damage by fire and loss in transit; theft, burglary, pilferage, larceny, embezzlement, and other criminal activities; business interruption; and general liability) and such other hazards and in amounts standard for companies in Borrower’s industry and location and as Bank may reasonably request. Insurance policies shall be in a form, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies that are not Affiliates of Borrower, and in amounts that are satisfactory to Bank. Insurance policies shall also include freight insurance coverage (i.e., in-transit or cargo insurance). All property policies shall have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Bank as the sole lender loss payee. All liability policies shall show, or have endorsements showing, Bank as an additional insured. Bank shall be named as lender loss payee and/or additional insured with respect to any such insurance providing coverage in respect of any Collateral (including, without limitation, Borrower’s Inventory).
(b) Ensure that proceeds payable under any property policy are, at Bank’s option, payable to Bank on account of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the option of applying the proceeds of any casualty policy up to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) with respect to any loss and One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate for all losses under all casualty policies in any one year, toward the replacement or repair of destroyed or damaged property; provided that any such replaced or repaired property (i) shall be of equal or like value as the replaced or repaired Collateral and (ii) shall be deemed Collateral in which Bank has been granted a first priority security interest, and (b) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds payable under such casualty policy shall, at the option of Bank, be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations.
14 |
(c) At Bank’s request, Borrower shall deliver certified copies of insurance policies and evidence of all premium payments. Each provider of any such insurance required under this Section 6.7 shall agree, by endorsement upon the policy or policies issued by it or by independent instruments furnished to Bank, that it will give Bank thirty (30) days prior written notice before any such policy or policies shall be materially altered or canceled. If Borrower fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 6.7 or to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons and Bank, Bank may make all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in this Section 6.7, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent.
6.8 Accounts.
(a) Borrower and any Subsidiary of Borrower shall maintain all of its operating accounts and excess cash with Bank or Bank’s Affiliates. Borrower shall also maintain its Cash Collateral Account with Bank.

6.9 Financial Covenants. Maintain at least one of the following two financial covenants, as of the last day of each month, on a consolidated basis with respect to Borrower and its Subsidiaries; provided however, for the month ending on December 31, 2020, Borrower shall maintain the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.9(a) below:
(a) Maximum Negative Cumulative EBITDA. Tested by Bank as of the last day of each month through the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2020, total cumulative EBITDA on a fiscal year-to-date basis, that is not more negative than negative [***] (the “EBITDA Covenant”).
Commencing with the month ending January 31, 2021 and as of the last day of each month thereafter, the EBITDA Covenant set forth in this Section 6.9(a) for Borrower’s fiscal year 2021 (the “2021 EBITDA Covenant”) is subject to change based on Borrower’s annual financial projections approved by the Board for the 2021 fiscal year and delivered to Bank pursuant to Section 6.2(e) as determined by Bank in its sole discretion.

(For purposes of clarity, Borrower must maintain either the 2020 EBITDA Covenant or the Liquidity Covenant as of the last day of each month, except for the month ending on December 31, 2020, in which Borrower shall maintain the 2020 EBITDA Covenant for the month ending on December 31, 2020.)

(b) If Borrower (i) obtains any Patent, registered Trademark, registered Copyright, registered mask work, or any pending application for any of the foregoing, whether as owner, licensee or otherwise, or (ii) applies for any Patent or the registration of any Trademark, then Borrower shall, with delivery of the next Compliance Certificate due pursuant to Section 6.2(d), provide written notice thereof to Bank and shall execute such intellectual property security agreements and other documents and take such other actions as Bank may request in its good faith business judgment to perfect and maintain a first priority perfected security interest in favor of Bank in such property. If Borrower decides to register any Copyrights or mask works in the United States Copyright Office, Borrower shall: (x) provide Bank with at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of Borrower’s intent to register such Copyrights or mask works together with a copy of the application it intends to file with the United States Copyright Office (excluding exhibits thereto); (y) execute an intellectual property security agreement and such other documents and take such other actions as Bank may request in its good faith business judgment to perfect and maintain a first priority perfected security interest in favor of Bank in the Copyrights or mask works intended to be registered with the United States Copyright Office; and (z) record such intellectual property security agreement with the United States Copyright Office contemporaneously with filing the Copyright or mask work application(s) with the United States Copyright Office.

(d) terminate any FX Contracts;
(e) verify the amount of, demand payment of and performance under, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable, and notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds. Borrower shall collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the Account Debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit;
(f) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;
(g) apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;
(h) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit;

Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and the Loan Documents have been terminated. Bank’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and the Loan Documents have been terminated.
22 |
9.3 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.7 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or at any time on the terms set forth in Section 6.3(c), regardless of whether an Event of Default exists) Bank shall have the right to apply in any order any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations. Bank shall pay any surplus to Borrower by credit to the Designated Deposit Account or to other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency. If Bank, directly or indirectly, enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Bank shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Bank of cash therefor.
9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Bank from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.
9.7 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.

11. CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE
Except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

This Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
12. GENERAL PROVISIONS
12.1 Termination Prior to Maturity Date; Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations have been satisfied. So long as Borrower has satisfied the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement, and any Obligations under Bank Services Agreements that are cash collateralized in accordance with Section 4.1 of this Agreement), this Agreement may be terminated by Borrower prior to (a) the Revolving Line Maturity Date, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Bank and (b) the Growth Capital Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.4(d). Those obligations that are expressly specified in this Agreement as surviving this Agreement’s termination shall continue to survive notwithstanding this Agreement’s termination.
12.2 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Bank’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Bank’s discretion). Bank has the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than the Warrant, as to which assignment, transfer and other such actions are governed by the terms thereof).
12.3 Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Bank and its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Bank (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (i) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (ii) all losses or expenses (including Bank Expenses) in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of, following from, consequential to, or arising from transactions between Bank and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
This Section 12.3 shall survive until all statutes of limitation with respect to the Claims, losses, and expenses for which indemnity is given shall have run.
12.4 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.
12.5 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.
12.6 Correction of Loan Documents. Bank may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.
12.7 Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration. No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document, shall be enforceable or admissible unless, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in a writing signed by the party against which enforcement or admission is sought. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents.

Confidential information does not include information that is either: (i) in the public domain or in Bank’s possession when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain (other than as a result of its disclosure by Bank in violation of this Agreement) after disclosure to Bank; or (ii) disclosed to Bank by a third party, if Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.
Bank Entities may use anonymous forms of confidential information for aggregate datasets, for analyses or reporting, and for any other uses not expressly prohibited in writing by Borrower. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.11 Electronic Execution of Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
12.12 Right of Setoff.

At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Bank may setoff the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or Obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

2.1 Section 2.4 (Growth Capital Advances). Section 2.4(c) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
(c) Principal and Interest Payments. For each Growth Capital Advance, commencing on the Conversion Date and continuing on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall repay each Growth Capital Advance in thirty (30) consecutive equal monthly payments of principal, each in an amount which would fully amortize the outstanding Growth Capital Advances, as of the Conversion Date, over the Growth Capital Repayment Period, plus accrued interest, which interest shall be calculated at the rate set forth in Section 2.6(a)(ii).

(ii) Growth Capital Advances. Subject to Section 2.6(b), the principal amount outstanding under each Growth Capital Advance shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (A) three and one-half of one percent (3.50%) above the Prime Rate, or (B) six and one-half of one percent (6.50%), which interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.6(d) below.

(a) The following terms and their respective definitions set forth in Section 13.1 of the Loan Agreement are hereby amended by deleting them in their entirety and replacing them with the following:

“Reserves” means, as of any date of determination, such amounts as Bank may from time to time establish and revise in its good faith business judgment, reducing the amount of Advances and other financial accommodations which would otherwise be available to Borrower (a) to reflect events, conditions, contingencies or risks which, as determined by Bank in its good faith business judgment, do or may adversely affect (i) the Collateral or any other property which is security for the Obligations or its value (including without limitation any increase in delinquencies of Accounts), (ii) the assets, business or prospects of Borrower or any Guarantor, or (iii) the security interests and other rights of Bank in the Collateral (including the enforceability, perfection and priority thereof); or (b) to reflect Bank’s reasonable belief that any collateral report or financial information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower or any Guarantor to Bank is or may have been incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect; or (c) in respect of any state of facts which Bank determines constitutes an Event of Default or may, with notice or passage of time or both, constitute an Event of Default.
“Tranche Two Draw Period” is, subject to Bank determining that Borrower has achieved the Tranche Two Milestone, the period of time commencing on December 31, 2020 and continuing through the earlier to occur of (a) October 31, 2021, and (b) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.

3 |

(d) The defined terms “Accounts Payable Reserve” and “Applicable Number”, and their respective definitions as set forth in Section 13.1 of the Loan Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety and all occurrences of and references to such terms in the Loan Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety and from and after the date of this Amendment shall be of no further force and effect under the Loan Agreement.
