Amounts borrowed under the Convertible Note are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company.

In lieu of cash payments of accrued interest, SIV, in its sole discretion, may elect to receive shares of Momentus Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.53 per share (the “Conversion Price”). On the maturity date, subject to the satisfaction of applicable legal and regulatory conditions, all outstanding obligations under the Convertible Note automatically convert into Common Stock at the Conversion Price.

The proceeds of the Convertible Note are to be used solely for the following purposes: (a) to fund day-to-day working capital needs in the order course of business, consistent with the Momentus practices prior to the execution of the Convertible Note, (b) for general purposes in the ordinary course of business, consistent with Momentus practices prior to the execution of the Convertible Note, and (c) to repay secured indebtedness owed to certain directors and officers of Momentus.

The Convertible Note requires SIV’s consent to take certain actions, such as increasing compensation, purchasing assets, extending financing, making capital expenditures, repaying debts outside the ordinary course of business or investing in any entity or enterprise.

The Convertible Note can be prepaid in full at any time, subject to a prepayment fee of 10%. The Convertible Note will accelerate and become immediately due upon the occurrence of certain customary event of default, including failure to pay amounts owing when due and/or certain events involving a discontinuation of our business or certain types of proceedings involving insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership and the like, or a change of control of Momentus.
