Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Senyun will pay to the Company the first $4,000,000 of its fourth funding tranche under the Existing SPA promptly upon the execution of the Letter Agreement. In addition to an amount of $60,000,000 already committed by Senyun as part of the Joinder, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company shall issue and sell to Senyun, and Senyun commits to acquire from the Company, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (the “Financing Conditions,” described below), incremental notes in an aggregate principal amount of $30,000,000 (collectively, the “Additional New Notes” or “New Notes” for purposes of the Financing Documents, as defined in the SPA) on the following dates (each an “Additional Funding Date”): (i) $10,000,000 in principal amount of Additional New Notes no later than January 31, 2023; (ii) $10,000,000 in principal amount of Additional New Notes no later than February 28, 2023; and (iii) $10,000,000 in principal amount of Additional New Notes no later than March 15, 2023.

Subject to the Company obtaining a waiver described in item (j) of the Financing Conditions described above, the Company shall issue to Senyun such number of shares of common stock as is equal to the difference between (x) the actual number of Conversion Shares issued to Senyun on $19,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of New Notes previously converted by Senyun and (y) the number of Conversion Shares that would have been issued to Senyun as if the conversion price applicable to such New Notes were $0.8925. Such shares to be issued to Senyun shall take into account any beneficial ownership limitation applicable to Senyun and may be issued in multiple tranches to ensure compliance with such beneficial ownership limitation.
