purchasing Refund Shares (in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act) until the Settlement Balance has been reduced to zero.
Delivery of Payment Shares
If Buyer elects to satisfy its payment obligation of the Settlement Amount by delivering Payment Shares, then on the Valuation Date a Settlement
Balance shall be created with an initial balance equal to the absolute value of the Settlement Amount. On the Settlement Date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a number of shares (such shares, Payment Shares) rounded up to the nearest whole
number equal to the absolute value of the Settlement Balance divided by the Private Placement Value (as defined below). Following the delivery of Payment Shares or any Make-Whole Payment Shares (as defined below), Seller shall sell all such
Payment Shares or Make-Whole Payment Shares in a commercially reasonable manner. At the end of each Trading Day upon which sales have been made, the Settlement Balance shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate proceeds received by
Seller upon the sale of such Payment Shares or Make-Whole Payment Shares. If, on any Trading Day, all Payment Shares and Make-Whole Payment Shares have been sold and the Settlement Balance has not been reduced to zero, the Company shall
(i) deliver to Seller or as directed by Seller on the third Exchange Business Day after such Trading Day an additional number of Shares (the Make-Whole Payment Shares, which once delivered, shall be considered to be Payment
Shares) equal to (x) the Settlement Balance as of such Trading Day divided by (y) the Private Placement Value or (ii) promptly deliver to Seller cash in an amount equal to the then remaining Settlement Balance. This provision
shall be applied successively until either the Settlement Balance is reduced to zero or the aggregate number of Payment Shares and Make-Whole Payment Shares equals the Share Cap (as defined below). Seller can only elect to deliver Payment Shares or
Make-Whole Payment Shares if the Conditions to Delivery of Payment Shares are met on each day during the period from and including the Valuation Date to and including the date upon which the relevant Settlement Balance is reduced to zero. If the
Settlement Balance is zero and not all the Payment Shares or Make-Whole Payment Shares have been sold to satisfy the Settlement Balance, then Seller shall promptly return the remaining the Payment Shares and/or Make-Whole Payment Shares to Buyer.
