Reference is hereby made to the OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction, dated as of July 9, 2023 (as amended from time to time, the “Confirmation”), by and between Seller and PubCo. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Confirmation.

1.
Amendment: The parties hereto agree to amend the Confirmation as follows:

1.1 The section titled “Settlement Method” shall be changed from “Physical Settlement” to “Cash Settlement”.

1.2 The section titled “Termination Fee” shall be deleted in its entirety.

1.3 The following sections shall be added:

Settlement Amount:

A cash amount payable by Seller to PubCo equal to the Number of Shares less the Number of Terminated Shares as of the Valuation Date less the number of Unregistered Shares (as defined below), multiplied by the volume weighted daily VWAP Price over the Valuation Period.

In the event that Seller has delivered a Registration Request at least 90 days prior to the Valuation Date (other than where the Valuation Date results from the occurrence of clause (a) in the definition of Registration Failure), Shares which are set forth in Pricing Date Notices that are neither registered for resale under an effective resale Registration Statement nor transferable without any restrictions pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act, including pursuant to Rule 144 (so long as not subject to the requirement for the Counterparty to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) the volume and manner of sale limitations under Rule 144(e), (f) and (g)) (in either event, “Unregistered Shares”) will not be included in the calculation of the Settlement Amount.

Settlement Amount Adjustment:

A net cash amount payable by PubCo to Seller equal to the product of (1) the Number of Shares as of the Valuation Date multiplied by (2) $0.75. The Settlement Amount Adjustment shall be netted from the Settlement Amount as described below.

Valuation Period:

The period commencing on the Valuation Date (or if the Valuation Date is not an Exchange Business Day, the first Exchange Business Day thereafter) and ending at 4:00 pm on the Exchange Business Day on which 10% of the total volume traded in the Shares over the period, excluding any volumes traded during the opening and closing auctions, has reached an amount equal to the Number of Shares outstanding as of the Valuation Date, less the number of Shares owned by Seller that are neither registered for resale under an effective resale Registration Statement nor eligible for resale under Rule 144 without volume or manner of sale limitations (but only counting such Shares that are eligible for resale under Rule 144 to the extent the Counterparty is in compliance with the requirements of Rule 144(i)(2) for the entire period).

Cash Settlement Payment Date:

The tenth Local Business Day immediately following the last day of the Valuation Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller will remit to the Counterparty on the Cash Settlement Payment Date a net amount equal to the Settlement Amount less the Settlement Amount Adjustment and will not otherwise be required to return to the Counterparty any of the Prepayment Amount; provided, that if the Settlement Amount less the Settlement Amount Adjustment is a negative number,then neither the Seller nor the Counterparty shall be liable to the other party for any payment under this section.
