This Amendment No. 5 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons named therein with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 8, 2020, as amended by Amendment No.1 filed on April 22, 2021, as further amended by Amendment No.2 filed on August 18, 2022, as further amended by Amendment No.3 filed on May 17, 2023, and as further amended by Amendment No.4 filed on May 24, 2023 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to the ordinary shares, no par value (the “Ordinary Shares”) of Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. (the “Issuer”). Except as specifically amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect. All capitalized terms used and not expressly defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2.
Identity and Background.

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by adding the following:

The name, business address and present principal occupation of each of the directors and executive officers of TZS Parent and each of the directors of TZS as of the date hereof is set forth in Schedule A hereto, which amends and restates Schedule A to the Schedule 13D in its entirety. As of the date hereof, TZS does not have any executive officers.

During the last five years, neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, any of their respective directors or executive officers (i) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was a party to any civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by adding the following:
 
On June 14, 2024, TZS and the Issuer entered into a forward purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”), relating to the sale by the Issuer, and the purchase by TZS, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Forward Purchase Agreement, of Ordinary Shares of the Issuer (the “Forward Purchase Shares”) at an aggregate purchase price of $100 million (the “Forward Purchase Investment”).  The per share purchase price of the Forward Purchase Shares (the “FPA Purchase Price”) will be based on 75% of the average Daily VWAP (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement) of the Ordinary Shares for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on and including the date immediately prior to the date when all requisite regulatory approvals for the Forward Purchase Investment have been obtained (such average Daily VWAP, the “Forward Purchase VWAP”), subject to a ceiling price which will provide TZS with 50.1% of the Issuer’s outstanding Ordinary Shares, after giving effect to (i) the exercise of the TZS Warrant (as defined below), (ii) solely to the extent exercised prior to FPA Closing (as defined below), the exercise by TZS of the option to purchase Ordinary Shares pursuant to the A&R Option Agreement (as defined below); (iii) the issuance of the Forward Purchase Shares; and (iv) the exchange, at the Issuer’s option, of all of the Tranche A Notes of the Issuer’s Adjustable Rate Convertible Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “2L Notes”) then outstanding into Ordinary Shares, pursuant to the terms of the 2L Notes (the “Optional Exchange”).
 
The closing of the Forward Purchase Investment (the “FPA Closing”) will be subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, (i) the Issuer shall have exchanged at least 95% of its currently outstanding 6.5% Green Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) into newly issued 2L Notes pursuant to exchange agreements with holders of such 2025 Notes; (ii) the Issuer shall have delivered notice to the holders of the 2L Notes exercising the Issuer’s option under the indenture governing the 2L Notes with respect to the Optional Exchange, pursuant to which the Optional Exchange shall become effective on the date of the FPA Closing; (iii) receipt of certain regulatory approvals; and (iv) a sufficient number of the directors of the Issuer shall have resigned so that following the designation of additional directors by TZS, TZS-designated directors shall constitute a majority of the Issuer’s board of directors (and each committee of the board of directors, other than the audit committee). Upon consummation of the Forward Purchase Investment, TZS is expected to beneficially own no less than 50.1% of the Ordinary Shares and will have the right to nominate a majority of the members of the Issuer’s board of directors.
 

Previously, on May 30, 2024, concurrently with the Issuer’s entry into the above-referenced exchange agreements with certain holders of the Issuer’s 2025 Notes, the Issuer and TZS entered into certain agreements, including a Convertible Notes Purchase Agreement (the “Additional 1L Notes Purchase Agreement”), a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “New 1L Notes Purchase Agreement”) and an Amended and Restated Option Agreement (the “A&R Option Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Additional 1L Notes Purchase Agreement, the Issuer agreed to sell and TZS agreed to purchase, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, up to $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount (the “Additional 1L Notes”) of the Issuer’s 7.50% Convertible First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “Existing 1L Notes”), in addition to the $207,000,000 principal amount of Existing 1L Notes already held by TZS.  TZS’s purchase of the full $25,000,000 of Additional 1L Notes was consummated on May 31, 2024.

Pursuant to the New 1L Notes Purchase Agreement, (i) the Issuer agreed to sell and TZS agreed to purchase, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, $97,500,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s new 9.00% Convertible First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “New 1L Notes”), for an aggregate purchase price of $97,500,000, which consists of (x) $70,000,000 to be paid by TZS in the form of cash consideration for its purchase of $70,000,000 principal amount of New 1L Notes, (y) $25,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Additional 1L Notes to be tendered by TZS to the Issuer in exchange for $25,000,000 principal amount of New 1L Notes and (z) $2,500,000, which amount is being paid by TZS on behalf of the Issuer to a global consulting firm for services rendered to the Issuer, and (ii) the Issuer agreed to issue to TZS a warrant (the “TZS Warrant”) for no additional consideration granting TZS the right to purchase certain Ordinary Shares of the Issuer under certain circumstances described below.

Once issued, the New 1L Notes will be convertible, at the option of the holder, from and after the date of issuance until the fifth scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the New 1L Notes, in accordance with the terms and conditions to be set forth in the indenture governing the New 1L Notes (the “New 1L Notes Indenture”). Upon the conversion of any of the New 1L Notes, the Company will have the option to settle such conversion by way of cash and/or newly issued Ordinary Shares.  The initial conversion price will be $1.6423 per share, subject to adjustments to be set forth in the New 1L Notes Indenture (the “New 1L Notes Conversion Price”). The New 1L Notes Conversion Price shall be reset based on the Forward Purchase VWAP, if the Forward Purchase VWAP is lower than the initial conversion price.  In the event the $97,500,000 principal amount of New 1L Notes were to be fully converted into Ordinary Shares at the initial New 1L Notes Conversion Price in accordance with the terms and conditions of the New 1L Notes Indenture, the New 1L Notes would be converted into a total of 59,367,960 Ordinary Shares.

The TZS Warrant will have an initial exercise price of $0.01 per share. The TZS Warrant will be exercisable after the date of issuance upon the occurrence of (a) one or more of the holders of the 2L Notes converting all or a portion of such 2L Notes into Ordinary Shares or (b) the Issuer exercising its option under the indenture governing the 2L Notes to cause the Optional Exchange of the Tranche A portion of the 2L Notes into Ordinary Shares (each, an “Exercisability Event”). Following the occurrence of any Exercisability Event, TZS would be entitled to purchase a number of Ordinary Shares under the TZS Warrant such that TZS maintains an ownership of 23.53% of the equity interests of the Company after giving effect to the relevant Exercisability Event and the potential issuance under the TZS Warrant. The TZS Warrant will expire on the later of (a) the closing of the Forward Purchase Investment or (b) five Business Days after the consummation of the Optional Exchange, and only upon the occurrence of any conversion of 2L Notes and/or the Optional Exchange.  The issuance of the New 1L Notes and the TZS Warrant is expected to take place in June 2024, or such other time and place as the Issuer and TZS may agree in writing, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the New 1L Notes Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the A&R Option Agreement, the Issuer and TZS amended and restated the Option Agreement originally entered into on August 26, 2020 in order for TZS to have a right to purchase such number of Ordinary Shares as may be necessary to maintain its percentage ownership of Ordinary Shares of the Issuer to provide for anti-dilution protection against (1)(i) any conversion of the 2L Notes to be issued by the Issuer and (ii) any exercise of certain warrants to be issued to holders of the 2L Notes entitling such holders to purchase Ordinary Shares, and (2) any conversion of 2025 Notes that remain outstanding after the 2L Notes are issued.


In connection with the transactions described above, the Issuer advised TZS that the Issuer proposes to amend the terms of the Existing 1L Notes (such amended Existing 1L Notes, the “Amended 1L Notes”) and the indenture governing the Existing 1L Notes (the “1L Notes Indenture”) in order to, among other things, (a) extend the maturity date of the Existing 1L Notes from August 17, 2027 to August 17, 2029; (b) amend the interest rate of the Existing 1L Notes from 7.50% per annum to (i) 8.50% per annum, if the Company elects to pay the interest in cash and payment-in-kind interest or (ii) 7.50% per annum, if the Company elects to pay the interest solely in cash; (c) change the per share conversion price of the Existing 1L Notes to equal the New 1L Notes Conversion Price, subject to reset based on the Forward Purchase VWAP, if the Forward Purchase VWAP is lower than such conversion price; and (d) amend certain covenants of the Existing 1L Notes.  These amendments would take effect concurrently with the consummation of TZS’s purchase of the New 1L Notes and the TZS Warrant. In the event the $207,000,000 principal amount of Amended 1L Notes that will be outstanding following these amendments were to be fully converted into Ordinary Shares at the initial New 1L Notes Conversion Price in accordance with the terms and conditions of the amended 1L Notes Indenture, the Amended 1L Notes would be converted into a total of 126,042,745 Ordinary Shares.  As holder of the Existing 1L Notes, TZS has consented to such proposed amendments to the Existing 1L Notes and the 1L Notes Indenture.
 
The information disclosed in this Item 4 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Forward Purchase Agreement, Additional 1L Notes Purchase Agreement, New 1L Notes Purchase Agreement and A&R Option Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 7.12 through Exhibit 7.15 and which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
 
Other than as described in Item 4 of this Amendment or as previously reported in the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the actions described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D, although, subject to the Shareholders Agreement and depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons, at any time and from time to time, may review, reconsider and/or change their position or purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto and, at any time and from time to time, may seek to influence the Board or management of the Issuer with respect to the business and affairs of the Issuer and may from time to time consider pursuing or proposing such matters with advisors, the Issuer or other persons.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
 
(a) – (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows 7 through 13 of the cover pages of this Amendment No.5 are incorporated herein by reference. As of the date hereof, TZS is the direct owner of and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to, and TZS Parent may be deemed to beneficially own and have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to, 13,106,453 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 23.53% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (such percentage is based on 55,705,553 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of June 14, 2024, as disclosed by the Issuer in the Forward Purchase Agreement).
 
(c) On June 11, 2024, the Issuer issued 820,761 Ordinary Shares to TZS on account of an interest payment on its Existing 1L Notes.
 
(d) Not applicable.

If the Purchaser was formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Forward Purchase Shares, each of its equity owners is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). As used in this Agreement, “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity or any government or any department or agency thereof.

The Purchaser further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Forward Purchase Shares and the business, assets, financial condition and prospects of the Company.
 

(g)
Restricted Securities.
 
The Purchaser understands that the Forward Purchase Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the Forward Purchase Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Forward Purchase Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Forward Purchase Shares for resale, except for the Registration Rights. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Forward Purchase Shares, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. In this connection, the Purchaser represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
 

(h)
Investment Experience.
 
The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and the Forward Purchase Shares (and has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Purchaser has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision) and is aware that its agreement to purchase the Forward Purchase Shares involves a high degree of risk which could cause the Purchaser to lose all or part of its investment.

2.   Exercise.

(a)  Manner of Exercise. During the Term, upon the occurrence of any Exercisability Event, this Warrant may be Exercised as to all or any lesser number of whole Ordinary Shares not exceeding the number of the Relevant Ordinary Shares (for purposes of clarification, including any Relevant Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant was eligible to be, but was not, Exercised upon the occurrence of any previous Exercisability Event) (the “Exercise Shares”) at the Holder’s election by the Holder delivering to the Company (by electronic mail in accordance with Section 14 below) the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Form”) duly completed and executed, and the applicable Exercise Price (as defined below), which may be satisfied, at the option of the Holder, by a Cash Exercise or a Cashless Exercise (as each is defined below), for each Ordinary Share as to which this Warrant is exercised (any such exercise of the Warrant being hereinafter called an “Exercise” of this Warrant). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder, nor shall any ink-original signature or medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) with respect to any Exercise Form be required.

(b)  Date of Exercise. The “Date of Exercise” of the Warrant shall be defined as the later of the date that (i) the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A, completed and executed, is delivered to the Company in accordance with Section 2(a), and (ii) the payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Exercise Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a Cashless Exercise if so indicated in the Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 3 below). Upon delivery of the last of the items required in the definition of “Date of Exercise,” the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Exercise Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been Exercised, irrespective of the date such Exercise Shares are credited to the Holder’s or its designee’s Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Exercise Shares, as the case may be. The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Exercise Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three Trading Days following the date the final Exercise Form is delivered to the Company. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Form with respect to a partial Exercise shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Exercise Shares. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Exercise Shares purchased and the remaining number of Exercise Shares. The Holder and any assignee of the Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Exercise Shares hereunder, the number of Exercise Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(c)  Delivery of Ordinary Shares Upon Exercise. Within (i) three (3) Trading Days, if the Holder elects to have the relevant Exercise Shares credited to its or its designee’s DTC account, or (ii) ten (10) Trading Days, if the Holder elects to receive certificates evidencing such Exercise Shares, as the case may be, after any Date of Exercise (the “Delivery Period”), the Company shall issue and deliver (or cause its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to issue and deliver) in accordance with the terms hereof to, or upon the order of, the Holder the Exercise Shares. Upon the Exercise of this Warrant or any part hereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action to assure that the Transfer Agent shall transmit to the Holder in accordance with this Section 2(c) the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon such Exercise.

A-5

(d)  Delivery Failure. Subject to Section 3(b), in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the applicable Exercise Shares by the end of the Delivery Period (a “Delivery Failure”), the Holder will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation.

(e)   Legends.

(i)   Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands that, until such time as this Warrant and the Exercise Shares have been registered under the Securities Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, this Warrant and the Exercise Shares, as applicable, may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order consistent therewith may be placed against transfer of such shares):

“THE OFFER AND SALE OF THIS SECURITY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, EXCEPT ONLY:

(A) TO THE COMPANY, ITS PARENT OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF;

(B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT;

(C) TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT;

(D) PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT; OR

(E) PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT,

BEFORE THE REGISTRATION OF ANY SALE OR TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH (C), (D) OR (E) ABOVE, THE COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH CERTIFICATES OR OTHER DOCUMENTATION OR EVIDENCE AS THEY MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED SALE OR TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

A-6

“THIS WARRANT HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE LODGED OR REGISTERED AS A PROSPECTUS WITH THE MONETARY AUTHORITY OF SINGAPORE. ACCORDINGLY, THIS WARRANT AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR MATERIAL IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFER OR SALE, OR INVITATION FOR SUBSCRIPTION OR PURCHASE, OF THIS WARRANT MAY NOT BE CIRCULATED OR DISTRIBUTED, NOR MAY THIS WARRANT BE OFFERED OR SOLD, OR BE MADE THE SUBJECT OF AN INVITATION FOR SUBSCRIPTION OR PURCHASE, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, TO PERSONS IN SINGAPORE OTHER THAN (I) TO AN INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR UNDER SECTION 274 OF THE SECURITIES AND FUTURES ACT 2001 OF SINGAPORE (THE “SFA”), (II) TO A RELEVANT PERSON PURSUANT TO SECTION 275(1), OR ANY PERSON PURSUANT TO SECTION 275(1A), AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 275 OF THE SFA, OR (III) OTHERWISE PURSUANT TO, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF, ANY OTHER APPLICABLE PROVISION OF THE SFA, IN EACH CASE SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE SFA, INCLUDING APPLICABLE RESALE OR TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS UNDER THE SFA.”

(ii)  Removal of Restrictive Legends. Before the registration of any sale or transfer of this Warrant or any Exercise Shares in accordance with an effective registration statement relating to the resale of the Warrant and/or any Exercise Shares, the Company reserves the right to require the delivery of such certificates or other documentation or evidence as it may reasonably require in order to determine that the proposed sale or transfer is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

(iii) Representations. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that (i) the consideration for the Warrant is no less than S$200,000 (or its equivalent in a foreign currency) which shall be paid for in cash or by exchange of securities, securities-based derivatives contracts or other assets, (ii) it is not purchasing the Warrant with a view to all or any of such Warrant being subsequently offered for sale to another person, and (iii) this document has not been and no document or material will be lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

(f)  Cancellation of Warrant. This Warrant shall be canceled upon the full Exercise of this Warrant. If this Warrant is not Exercised in full, then as soon as practical after any Date of Exercise, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing terms identical to this Warrant) representing the unexercised portion of this Warrant (in addition to the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such Exercise); provided, however, as set forth in Section 2(b), the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant if the Warrant is not Exercised in full.

(g)  Holder of Record. Each person in whose name any Warrant for Ordinary Shares is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the holder of record of such shares on the Date of Exercise, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Ordinary Shares purchased upon the Exercise of this Warrant.

(h)  Delivery of Electronic Shares. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Exercise Shares or legend removal, upon written request of the Holder, the Company shall cause its Transfer Agent to electronically transmit Exercise Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system. The time periods for delivery and penalties described herein shall apply to the electronic transmittals described herein. Any delivery not effected by electronic transmission shall be effected by delivery of physical certificates.

A-7

(i)  Certain Government Submissions. If the Holder determines that, in connection with any exercise of this Warrant, it and the Company are required to file premerger notification reports with the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and observe the Waiting Period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the related rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “HSR Act”), or to seek approval under applicable law from any other U.S. or foreign governmental authority for the issuance of Ordinary Shares to the Holder upon such exercise, (a) the Company agrees to (i) cooperate with the Holder in the Holder’s preparing and making any such submission or application for approval and any responses to inquiries of the FTC and DOJ or such other governmental authority; and (ii) prepare and make any submission or application required to be filed by the Company under the HSR Act or such other applicable law and respond to inquiries of the FTC and DOJ or such other governmental authority in connection therewith, and (b) the Holder agrees to not exercise any portion of this Warrant as to which HSR Approval or such other governmental approval is required prior to the receipt of HSR Approval or such other required governmental approval. The Company shall bear, or reimburse the Holder for, any necessary filing fees and all of the Holder’s reasonable costs and expenses in connection with such submission, including any of its attorneys’ fees associated therewith.

(j)   Taxes. The Company shall be responsible for paying all present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar taxes that arise from the execution or delivery of, or the Company’s performance of this Agreement; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer and the issuance and delivery of any Ordinary Shares in a name other than that of the initial Holder.

3.    Payment of Warrant Exercise Price for Cash Exercise or Cashless Exercise.

(a)  Exercise Price. The exercise price shall initially equal $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms hereof (as so adjusted, the “Exercise Price”), including but not limited to Section 5 below.

Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Holder:

(i)  Cash Exercise: The Holder may pay all or any portion of the Exercise Price in cash, bank or cashier’s check or wire transfer (a “Cash Exercise”); or

(ii) Cashless Exercise: In lieu of paying all or any portion of the Exercise Price in cash, the Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant (in whole or in part) on a cashless basis by making appropriate notation on the applicable Exercise Form in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Ordinary Shares computed using the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

X = Y [(A-B)/A]

where:   X = the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Holder.

Y = the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is being Exercised.

A = the Market Price of one Ordinary Share (for purposes of this Section 3(a)(ii)), where “Market Price,” as of any date, means the arithmetic average of the VWAP of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on each of the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Date of Exercise, or other date in question, as applicable.

B = the Exercise Price.

As used herein, the “VWAP” means, for any Trading Day, the per share volume-weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page identified by “MAXN” (or such other ticker symbol for such Ordinary Shares) appended by the suffix “<EQUITY> AQR” (or, if such page is not available, its equivalent successor page) in respect of the period from the scheduled open of trading until the scheduled close of trading of the primary trading session on such Trading Day (or, if such volume- weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Ordinary Share on such Trading Day, reasonably determined, using a volume-weighted average price method, by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm selected by the Company. The VWAP will be determined without regard to after-hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session.

A-8

For purposes of Rule 144 and subsection (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Ordinary Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired, and the holding period thereof shall be deemed to have commenced, at the time this Warrant was issued. As provided in Section 2(b), the Holder shall only be required to physically surrender this Warrant in the event that the Holder is exercising this Warrant in full.

(b)  Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the closing price or the VWAP of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via electronic mail within two Trading Days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the Exercise Form, or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two Trading Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two Trading Days, submit via electronic mail the disputed determination of the closing price or the VWAP of the Company’s Ordinary Shares to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the investment bank to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than five Trading Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s determination shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error, and the Company and Holder shall each pay one half of the fees and costs of such investment bank.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a dispute referred to in this Section 3(b) occurs and is continuing, the Company may suspend its obligations to issue and deliver any Exercise Share within the relevant Delivery Period pursuant to Section 2(c). If so suspended, the Company shall resume performing such obligations to issue and deliver the relevant Exercise Shares within the relevant Delivery Period starting from the date that a binding resolution of such dispute is reached in accordance with Section 3(b) (such date, the “Resolution Date”), as if such date is the relevant Date of Exercise for the purpose of calculating the relevant Delivery Period. Notwithstanding the existence of a dispute contemplated by this paragraph, if requested by the Holder, the Company shall issue to the Holder the Exercise Shares, if any, that are not in dispute in accordance with the terms hereof.

4.   Transfer and Registration.

(a)  Transfer Rights. Subject to the provisions of Section 8, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant properly completed and endorsed. Subject to the provisions of Section 8, this Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this Warrant transferred, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to the portion hereof retained, if any.

(b) Registrable Securities. The Ordinary Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant entitles the Holder (and applicable assignees or transferees of this Warrant and/or Ordinary Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant) to registration and other rights in respect of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement.

5.    Adjustments Upon Certain Events.

(a) Recapitalization or Reclassification. If, following the Date of Issuance, the Company shall at any time effect any subdivision of outstanding Ordinary Shares (by any share split, share dividend, recapitalization or otherwise), combination of outstanding Ordinary Shares (by consolidation, combination, reverse share split or otherwise), reclassification or other similar transaction of such character that Ordinary Shares shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares (a “Share Event”), then upon the effective date thereof, (i) the number of Ordinary Shares which the Holder shall be entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in the number of Ordinary Shares by reason of such Share Event, and (ii) in the case of an increase in the number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be proportionally decreased. The Company shall give the Holder the same notice it provides to holders of Ordinary Shares of any transaction described in this Section 5(a).

A-9

(b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company effects a Fundamental Transaction, then following such Fundamental Transaction the Holder shall have the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Ordinary Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). The Company shall not effect any Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity or the Alternate Consideration includes securities of another Person unless (i) the Alternate Consideration is solely cash and the Company provides for the simultaneous “cashless exercise” of this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(ii) above or (ii) prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or other Person (including any purchaser of assets of the Company) shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 5(b) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions analogous of a Fundamental Transaction type.

(c)  Exercise Price Adjusted. As used in this Warrant, the term “Exercise Price” shall mean the purchase price per share specified in Section 3(a) of this Warrant, until the occurrence of an event resulting in an adjustment to the Exercise Price as stated in this Section 5 or otherwise set forth in this Warrant, and thereafter shall mean said price as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5. No adjustment made pursuant to any provision of this Section 5 shall have the net effect of increasing the Exercise Price.

(d)  Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5 or otherwise, the Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive shares and/or other securities or assets (other than Ordinary Shares) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein to Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and thereafter the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 5.

(e)  Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price and/or number or type of securities issuable upon Exercise is adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a notice (an “Exercise Price Adjustment Notice”) setting forth the Exercise Price and/or number or type of securities issuable upon Exercise after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to the Holder a like Warrant setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of Ordinary Shares and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon Exercise of the Warrant. For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides an Exercise Price Adjustment Notice pursuant to this Section 5(e), upon the occurrence of any event that leads to an adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Exercise Shares based upon the new Exercise Price, as adjusted, for exercises occurring on or after the date of such adjustment, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the then-current Exercise Price in the Exercise Form.

(f)  Choice of Consideration. If holders of Ordinary Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then Holder shall be given the same choice as to the type of consideration it receives upon any Exercise of this Warrant in connection with such Fundamental Transaction.

A-10

6.   Fractional Interests.

No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant, the Holder may purchase only a whole number of Ordinary Shares. If, on Exercise of this Warrant, the Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of Ordinary Shares or a right to acquire a fractional share of Ordinary Shares, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon Exercise shall be the next higher whole number of shares.

7.    Ordinary Shares issued at the exercise of the Warrant.

All Ordinary Shares (or other securities substituted therefor as provided herein above) to be issued upon the exercise of all or any portion of the Warrant, shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any Person. The Company covenants and agrees that all Ordinary Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be approved for listing on NASDAQ, or, if that is not the principal trading market for the Ordinary Shares, such principal market on which the Ordinary Shares are traded or listed. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all Ordinary Shares issuable upon Exercise may be so issued without violating the Company’s governing documents, any requirement of law or any requirement of NASDAQ or any other national securities exchange upon which the Ordinary Shares may be listed.

8.   Restrictions on Transfer.

(a)  Registration or Exemption Required. This Warrant has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Regulation D and exempt from state registration or qualification under applicable state securities (or “blue sky”) laws and under Section 275(1A), of the SFA and in accordance with the conditions specified in Section 275 of the SFA. None of the Warrant or the Exercise Shares may be transferred, sold or assigned except (i) in compliance with the applicable resale and transfer restrictions specified in the SFA, including Section 276, (ii) to the Company, its parent or any subsidiary thereof, (iii) pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

(b)   Assignment. This Warrant may not be assigned by the Company without the written consent of the Holder, except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction. Subject to Section 8(a), the Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, in whole or in part, provided that the Holder shall not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, in whole or in part to a Sanctioned Person. The Holder shall deliver a written notice to the Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the Person or Persons to whom the Warrant shall be assigned and the respective number of warrants to be assigned to each assignee. Subject to the last two sentences of this paragraph, the Company shall effect the assignment within three Trading Days (the “Transfer Delivery Period”), and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by the Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and terms entitling the assignee(s) to purchase the appropriate number of shares. This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an Assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Exercise Shares immediately upon effectiveness of such assignment without having a new Warrant issued.

A-11

9.    Non-circumvention.

The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its constitutional documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any Ordinary Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.

10.  Benefits of this Warrant.

Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to confer upon any person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Warrant, and this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the Holder.

11.  No Rights as a Shareholder.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Warrant, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of shares, reclassification of shares, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Exercise Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

12.  Governing Law; Process Agents.

This Agreement and all matters concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation hereof or otherwise relating hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED.

Exhibit 7.15

EXECUTION VERSION

AMENDED AND RESTATED OPTION AGREEMENT
 
This Amended and Restated Option Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 30, 2024 by and between Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd., a company incorporated under the Laws of Singapore (previously Maxeon Solar Technologies Pte., Ltd.) (the “Issuer”), and Zhonghuan Singapore Investment and Development Pte. Ltd., a private company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Singapore (the “Holder”).
 
WHEREAS, on August 26, 2020 the Issuer and the Holder entered into an Option Agreement (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Initial Option Agreement”) granting the Holder or its designee an option to purchase ordinary shares, no par value, of the Issuer (“Issuer Shares”);
 
WHEREAS, on or about the date hereof, the Issuer entered into exchange agreements with certain holders of the Issuer’s 6.50% Green Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) to exchange such 2025 Notes, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable exchange agreement (such transactions, collectively, the “Existing Note Exchange”), for (a) Adjustable Rate Convertible Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “2L Notes”) and (b) warrants entitling such holders, under certain circumstances, to purchase 10% of the Issuer Shares on a fully-diluted basis (the “Warrants”);
 
WHEREAS, the indenture governing the 2L Notes is expected to give the Issuer the option to require all of the then-outstanding Tranche A 2L Notes to be exchanged into Issuer Shares at the conversion price set forth therein and subject to the terms and conditions therein (the “Tranche A Exchange”); and
 
WHEREAS, in connection with the Existing Note Exchange, the Issuer and the Holder desire to amend and restate the Initial Option Agreement in its entirety as set forth herein.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the Issuer and the Holder hereby agree as follows:
 
1. Grant of Option. The Issuer hereby grants to the Holder an option (the “Option”) to purchase such number of Issuer Shares as is necessary for the Holder to maintain its percentage ownership of outstanding Issuer Shares (measured to the fourth decimal) immediately following (a) any conversion of 2025 Notes that remain outstanding after consummation of the Existing Note Exchange into Issuer Shares, (b) from and after consummation of the Tranche A Exchange, any conversion of 2L Notes into Issuer Shares (the transactions described in clauses (a) and (b), each, a “Conversion”), and (c) any exercise of Warrants (each, an “Exercise”), in each case, as compared to the Holder’s percentage ownership of outstanding Issuer Shares (measured to the fourth decimal) immediately prior to such Conversion or Exercise (the Issuer Shares issuable to the Holder pursuant to this Agreement, the “Option Shares”). The Option shall be exercisable from time to time in accordance with the exercise procedures set forth in Section 2.  The term “outstanding Issuer Shares” and terms of similar import mean, at any given time, the total number of Issuer Shares actually issued and outstanding as of such time but without regard to any equity securities or other securities or instruments, including any 2025 Notes, 2L Notes or the Company’s convertible first lien senior secured notes, that are exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into Issuer Shares.
 

2. Exercise Procedures.
 

(a)
Settlement Notice. At any time on or prior to January 15, 2028 (the “Option Expiration Date”), when (i) any holder of 2025 Notes or, from and after consummation of the Tranche A Exchange, 2L Notes completes a Conversion, and such Conversion is to be settled through the issuance of Issuer Shares or (ii) any holder of Warrants completes an Exercise, and such Exercise is to be settled through the issuance of Issuer Shares (the transactions described in clauses (i) and (ii), each, a “Share Settlement”), the Issuer shall  provide the Holder with prompt written notice of such Share Settlement within two (2) Business Days after completion of such Share Settlement (a “Settlement Notice”), which Settlement Notice shall include the date of the Share Settlement, the aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes or 2L Notes, as applicable, converted into Issuer Shares in such Conversion or the number of Warrants exercised in such Exercise, as applicable, the number of Issuer Shares issued in the Share Settlement, the number of outstanding Issuer Shares immediately following such Share Settlement, the number of Option Shares which the Holder has the right to purchase pursuant to this Agreement as a result of such Share Settlement and the applicable Exercise Price (as defined below). “Business Day” means a day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or day on which banking institutions in (i) New York, New York, (ii) Beijing, People’s Republic of China or (iii) Singapore are authorized or required by law to close.

(b)
Exercise. In connection with any Share Settlement, the Holder may exercise the Option and purchase the relevant Option Shares at a price per share equal to the Exercise Price by, within twenty (20) Business Days after the receipt of the Settlement Notice relating to such Share Settlement, (i) notifying the Issuer in writing of its intent to exercise the Option and purchase all or a portion of the relevant Option Shares (such notice, an “Exercise Notice”) and (ii) delivering to the Issuer the aggregate Exercise Price for the relevant Option Shares specified in such Exercise Notice. To the extent the Holder has not fully exercised the Option and purchased all of the Options Shares specified in any Settlement Notice following any Share Settlement, the Holder may exercise the Option and purchase all or a portion of the Option Shares that have not been purchased by the Holder from all prior Share Settlements (the “Remaining Option Shares”) by, no later than twenty (20) Business Days after the Option Expiration Date, (i) notifying the Issuer in writing of its intent to exercise the Option and purchase all or a portion of the Remaining Option Shares and (ii) delivering to the Issuer the aggregate Exercise Price for such number of the Remaining Option Shares. All notices delivered by the Holder to the Issuer pursuant to this Section 2 shall set forth the total number of Option Shares it will purchase and the calculation of the aggregate Exercise Price for such Option Shares. The “Exercise Price” per Option Share means (A) prior to the date of consummation of the Existing Note Exchange, the lesser of (x) the price per share at which the Holder invested in the Issuer Shares pursuant to that certain Investment Agreement among the Holder, the Issuer and certain other parties dated as of November 8, 2019 (the “Investment Agreement”), which shall be equal to the Purchase Price (as defined in the Investment Agreement) divided by the number of Purchased Shares (as defined in the Investment Agreement), and (y) the average of the daily volume weighted average prices per Issuer Share over a fifteen (15) consecutive trading day period commencing on, and including, the fifth (5th) trading day following the Separation (as defined in the Investment Agreement); (B) from the date of consummation of the Existing Note Exchange until the date of consummation of a sale and issuance of Issuer Shares for an aggregate purchase price of US$100,000,000 (as such amount may be rounded downward to avoid the issuance of fractional shares) in a private placement by the Issuer to the Holder in accordance with the terms of a forward purchase agreement between the Issuer and the Holder (the “Forward Purchase”), the average of the daily volume weighted average prices per Issuer Share over a ten (10) consecutive trading day period commencing on, and including, the day after the public announcement of the Existing Note Exchange and (C) from and after the date of consummation of the Forward Purchase, the per share conversion price of tranche B of the 2L Notes in effect as of the time of the applicable Share Settlement.  All payments of the Exercise Price shall be made by wire transfer to the Issuer to an account designated by the Issuer and set forth in the Settlement Notice.  For purposes of clause (B) of this paragraph, the volume weighted average price per Issuer Share for any trading day shall equal the per share volume-weighted average price of the Issuer Shares as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page identified by “MAXN” (or such other ticker symbol for such Ordinary Shares) appended by the suffix “<EQUITY> AQR” (or, if such page is not available, its equivalent successor page) in respect of the period from the scheduled open of trading until the scheduled close of trading of the primary trading session on such trading day (or, if such volume- weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Issuer Share on such trading day, reasonably determined, using a volume-weighted average price method, by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm selected by the Issuer), with such volume weighted average price per share to be determined without regard to after-hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session.
 

(c)
Delivery of Option Shares. Within one (1) Business Day after the purchase of Option Shares pursuant to this Agreement and receipt by the Issuer of the aggregate Exercise Price for such Option Shares, the Issuer shall issue such Option Shares to the Holder by book entry on the share ledger maintained by the transfer agent for the Issuer Shares.
 
3. Transfer. The Option to purchase the Option Shares shall neither be transferable nor assignable by the Holder without the prior written consent of the Issuer.
 
4. Issuer Representations. The Issuer represents and warrants to the Holder on the date hereof and at the time of each issuance of Option Shares that:
