On the Final Payment Date pursuant to subsection (i) of the definition of “Final Payment Date”, Summit shall pay to Hallo a cash payment in the amount of all unpaid Outstanding Revenue Share Amount and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. On the Final Payment Date pursuant to section (ii) of the definition of “Final Payment Date”, Summit shall pay to Hallo a cash payment in the amount of $100,000 (“Third Payment”), which shall be applied to the Outstanding Revenue Share Amount as determined by Hallo in its sole discretion, and, after giving effect to the Third Payment, the remaining Outstanding Revenue Share Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon will automatically and without further action by Summit or Hallo convert into the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), Summit sold in the IPO as Hallo would have received had it purchased shares of Common Stock (the “Hallo Shares”) at a price per share equal to the lower of (the “Conversion Price”): (i) $4.50; and (ii) the price per share at which the shares of Common Stock were initially sold on the first (1st) day of public trading pursuant to the IPO, provided, however, that the Hallo Shares shall not be subject to a lock-up (or other restriction on transfer of any rights in respect thereof) for a period in excess of ninety (90) days from such first (1st) day of public trading. For the avoidance of doubt, upon such conversion the Borrower is entitled to such number of Lender Shares in an amount equal to (i) the amount of all unpaid Outstanding Revenue Share Amount and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, divided by (ii) the relevant Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Hallo agrees and acknowledges that the Hallo Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer of any rights in respect thereof pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all rules and regulations promulgate thereunder.

 

Section 3.          Issuance of Warrant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, to the extent that there is any inconsistency between the provisions of the Agreement, and this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment shall control and be binding. In the event and to the extent that any provision of this Amendment shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Amendment, all of which shall remain fully enforceable as set forth herein.

 

Section 5.          Acknowledgments. Hallo acknowledges and agrees the Company is not default under the Agreement or any related transaction documents. As such, this Amendment represents the compromise between the Parties and is not intended as an admission of any default, liability, fault, claim, wrongdoing, or the like of or by the Company.
