August 2024 Note

On October 10, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2022 Purchase Agreement”) with Alto Opportunity Master Fund, SPC - Segregated Master Portfolio B (the “Holder”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Holder in a private placement (i) senior secured convertible notes (the “2022 Notes”), and (ii) warrants (the “2022 Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,138,446 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The 2022 Warrants included an adjustment mechanism, whereby the exercise price and number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the 2022 Warrants (the “Warrant Exercise Price”) were subject to adjustment from time to time, such that immediately after an issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock (a “Stock Issuance”), excluding an At The Market (“ATM”) offering, at any price per share of Class A Common Stock that was lower than the then in effect Warrant Exercise Price (the “Reset Price”), the Warrant Exercise Price would be reduced to equal the Reset Price, and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the 2022 Warrants would be increased to the number necessary to maintain the value of the 2022 Warrants immediately prior to such Stock Issuance. In connection with the entry into the 2022 Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Holder also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “2022 Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide the Holder with certain registration rights under the Securities Act.

​

On August 1, 2024 (the “Issuance Date”), the Company and the Holder entered into an Agreement and Waiver (the “Waiver”), pursuant to which, on the Issuance Date, the Company issued to the Holder a Senior Secured Promissory Note due on July 1, 2025, in an aggregate amount equal to $3.0 million (the “Principal”) in exchange for the cancellation of the Holder’s 2022 Warrants (the “August 2024 Note”). The Company has agreed to pay the Principal in two separate installments: the first installment in an amount equal to $2,500,000 payable in 11 equal consecutive monthly installments beginning on September 1, 2024, and the second installment in an amount equal to $500,000 payable on the earlier of (x) October 15, 2024, and (y) upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of common stock or common stock equivalents for cash consideration, indebtedness or a combination of units thereof (other than pursuant to a customary ATM offering program and equity line of credits). Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the August 2024 Note), the Holder may, at its option, exercisable at any time commencing on the public announcement of such Change of Control until the 30th day after the consummation thereof, require the Company to repay the August 2024 Note in full. The August 2024 Note shall not bear interest; provided, however, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the August 2024 Note), the outstanding principal amount of the Principal shall, automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of such Event of Default, bear interest at a rate equal to ten percent of the amount payable per annum until such date that the Event of Default is cured or the August 2024 Note is paid in full.

​

Additionally, pursuant to the Waiver, the Holder agreed that the Company’s obligations under the 2022 Notes, the 2022 Purchase Agreement, the 2022 Registration Rights Agreement, the 2022 Warrants, and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the 2022

Purchase Agreement) have been satisfied in full and such documents are terminated, except that the Company shall continue to comply with and perform Section 4.10 of the 2022 Purchase Agreement and Section 6 of the 2022 Registration Rights Agreement, in each case which provide for indemnification, and which in each case survive and shall remain in full force and effect.

​

The Waiver and August 2024 Note contain various representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, financial covenants, events of default and other provisions and obligations.

In connection with the entry into the Waiver and the August 2024 Note, on the Issuance Date, the Company and the Holder entered into a security agreement, pursuant to which the Company granted to the Holder a security interest in substantially all current and future properties, assets, and rights of the Company.
