Prior to the maturity date of the Second Note, upon the occurrence of a Payment Event (as defined below), (i) that is a change of control (other than a change of control of a Covered Entity (as defined below) formed to effect a sale of inventory that does not result in the transfer of more than 60% of the book value of e2's consolidated total assets), each Note shall become due and payable in full, and (ii) that is not a change of control, a minimum of 50% of the net proceeds from any Payment Event directly received by a Covered Entity or its shareholders, successors or assigns in excess of a cumulative threshold of $17.5 million of the net proceeds from all Payment Events received by a Covered Entity or its shareholders, successors or assigns, shall be used to repay, in whole or in part, first the Second Note and then the First Note (but not more than the amount of the then-current principal plus accrued interest with respect to each Note) no later than three (3) business days following consummation of such Payment Event. Further, a minimum of 10% of the net proceeds from up to $22 million of debt or equity financings by a Covered Entity consummated on or prior to March 31, 2026, the sole use of the proceeds of which (after expenses attributable to the financing) is the repayment or refinancing of indebtedness outstanding as of the Settlement Date, shall be used to repay, in whole or in part, first the Second Note and then the First Note (but not more than the amount of the then-current principal plus accrued interest with respect to each Note) no later than three (3) business days following consummation of such financing. A "Payment Event" means the occurrence of one or more of the following events within three years from the Settlement Date: (i) a debt or equity financing by a Covered Entity (including an initial public offering), excluding a financing where the sole use of net proceeds (after expenses attributable to the financing) is (x) to finance the acquisition of equipment to be added to inventory or (y) to fund all or a portion of the payment of the Notes); (ii) a sale or exchange by a Covered Entity or its shareholders of any of its interest in a Covered Entity, whether directly or indirectly; (iii) a sale or exchange of assets constituting 20% or more of the book value of e2's consolidated total assets as of the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter by a Covered Entity, other than the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business; or (iv) a change of control of a Covered Entity. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses or entities (an "initial business combination") prior to the maturity date of the Second Note and such initial business combination is consummated, the remaining then-current principal amount of the Second Note shall be cancelled and no further interest shall continue to accrue. However, all interest accrued and unpaid with respect to the Second Note prior to but not including the date of the consummation of any initial business combination shall be due and payable from e2 in connection therewith. Any amount paid by e2 to the Company under the Second Note prior to the consummation of any initial business combination, shall not be required to be returned to e2.
