F6 In accordance with the Investment Agreement dated June 22, 2021, SLP Spark and SLA Spark are restricted from exercising the Convertible Notes prior to the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the date of issuance and (ii) immediately prior to the consummation of a change of control of the Issuer, in each case, subject to certain exceptions.

F8 Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Issuer will deliver, at its election (or at the holder's election if in connection with a redemption), cash, Common Stock or combination thereof.
