Reservation of Rights; No Admission.

(a)Nothing contained herein shall limit (A) the ability of any Party to consult with other Parties or (B) the rights of any Party under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, foreclosure, or similar proceeding, including the right to appear as a party in interest in any matter to be adjudicated in order to be heard concerning any matter arising in the Chapter 11 Cases, in each case, so long as such consultation or appearance is consistent with such Party’s obligations hereunder.

(b)Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict the ability of each of the Parties to protect and preserve its rights, remedies, and interests, including its claims against any of the other Parties (or their respective affiliates or subsidiaries) or its full participation in any bankruptcy case filed by the Company Parties.  This Agreement and the Restructuring Term Sheet are part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the Parties.  Pursuant to Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and

27


any other applicable rules of evidence, and any other applicable law, foreign or domestic, this Agreement and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms.  This Agreement shall in no event be construed as or be deemed to be evidence of an admission or concession on the part of any Party of any claim or fault or liability or damages whatsoever.  Each of the Parties denies any and all wrongdoing or liability of any kind and does not concede any infirmity in the claims or defenses which it has asserted or could assert.

22.

Relationship Among Parties.

(a)None of the Consenting Noteholders shall have any fiduciary duty, any duty of trust or confidence in any form, or other duties or responsibilities to each other, the Company Parties or their affiliates, or any of the Company Parties’ or their affiliates’ creditors or other stakeholders and, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, there are no commitments among or between the Consenting Noteholders.  It is understood and agreed that any Consenting Noteholder may trade in any debt or equity securities of any Company Party without the consent of the Company Parties or any other Consenting Noteholder, subject to Section 3(b) and applicable securities laws.  No prior history, pattern, or practice of sharing confidences among or between any of the Consenting Noteholders and/or the Company Parties shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement.

(b)The obligations of each Consenting Noteholder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Consenting Noteholder.  Nothing contained herein and no action taken by any Consenting Noteholder shall be deemed to constitute the Consenting Noteholders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Consenting Noteholders are in any way acting in concert.  The decision of each Consenting Noteholder to enter into this Agreement has been made by each such Consenting Noteholder independently of any other Consenting Noteholder.

(c)The Parties have no agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to acting together for the purpose of acquiring, voting or disposing of any securities of any of the Company Parties.  The Consenting Noteholders are not part of a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or any successor provision), including any group acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, or disposing of securities (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), with any other Party.  For the avoidance of doubt, neither the existence of this Agreement, nor any action that may be taken by a Consenting Noteholder pursuant to this Agreement, shall be deemed to constitute or to create a presumption by any of the Parties that the Consenting Noteholders are in any way acting in concert or as such a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1).  All rights under this Agreement are separately granted to each Consenting Noteholder by the Company Parties and vice versa, and the use of a single document is for the convenience of the Company Parties.  The decision to commit to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been made independently.

28


23.

No Solicitation; Representation by Counsel; Adequate Information.

(a)This Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to be a solicitation for votes in favor of the Plan in the Chapter 11 Cases by the Consenting Noteholders or a solicitation to tender or exchange any of the Notes.  The acceptances of the Consenting Noteholders with respect to the Plan will not be solicited until such Consenting Noteholder has received the Disclosure Statement and related ballots and solicitation materials, each as approved or ratified by the Bankruptcy Court.

(b)Each Party acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to receive information from the Company Parties and that it has been, or is part of a group that has been, represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.  Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would provide any Party with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such Party based upon lack of legal counsel shall have no application and is expressly waived.  Each Party hereby confirms that its decision to execute this Agreement has been based upon its independent investigation of the operations, businesses, financial and other conditions, and prospects of the Company Parties.

(c)Although none of the Parties intends that this Agreement should constitute, and they each believe it does not constitute, a solicitation or acceptance of a chapter 11 plan of reorganization or an offering of securities, each Consenting Noteholder acknowledges, agrees and represents to the other Parties that it (i) is an accredited investor (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act), not a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act), or a qualified institutional buyer as such term is defined in Rule 144A of the Securities Act, (ii) understands that the securities to be acquired by it (if any) pursuant to the Restructuring have not been registered under the Securities Act and that such securities are, to the extent not acquired pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act, based in part upon such Consenting Noteholder’s representations contained in this Agreement and cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available, and (iii) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Consenting Noteholder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the securities to be acquired by it (if any) pursuant to Restructuring and understands and is able to bear any economic risks with such investment.

24.

Email Consents.

Where a written consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver is required pursuant to or contemplated by this Agreement, including a written approval by the Company Parties or the Requisite Consenting Noteholders, such written consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver shall be deemed to have occurred if, by agreement between counsel to the Parties submitting and receiving such consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver, it is conveyed in writing (including electronic mail) between each such counsel without representations or warranties of any kind on behalf of such counsel.

Material Terms of the Restructuring Transaction

Term

Description

Company:

Zynex, Inc., Zynex Monitoring Solutions, Inc., Zynex Medical, Inc., Zynex NeuroDiagnostics, Inc., Pharmazy, Inc., Kestrel Labs, Inc. and Zynex Management LLC.  

Claims and Interests to be Restructured:

The Debtors’ current capital structure consists of:

Convertible Notes Claims: consisting of approximately $60 million of principal obligations, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, fees, and other amounts arising under, and payable pursuant to, that certain Indenture dated as of May 9, 2023 (the “Convertible Notes Indenture”) between Zynex, Inc. as issuer, and U.S. Bank Trust Company National Association, as trustee (the “Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee”) with respect to the Zynex, Inc. 5% Senior Convertible Notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”) (such Claims, the “Convertible Notes Claims” and holders of such Convertible Notes Claims, the “Convertible Noteholders”);

General Unsecured Claims: consisting of any unsecured prepetition Claim against the Debtors that is not a Convertible Notes Claim, an Intercompany Claim, or an unsecured Claim subordinated or entitled to priority under the Bankruptcy Code (the “General Unsecured Claims”); and

Existing Equity Interests: consisting of existing equity interests in Zynex, Inc. (“Existing Equity Interests”).

DIP Financing:

Prior to or following the Petition Date, the Debtors will enter into a credit agreement with funds managed by (i) Whitebox Advisors LLC (“Whitebox”), (ii) Context Capital Management, LLC (“Context”), (iii) Wolverine Asset Management, LLC (“Wolverine”), (iv) DeepCurrents Investment Group LLC, and (v) Steven Dyson (or an entity controlled by Mr. Dyson) (the preceding clauses (i) – (v), collectively, the “Back-Stop Lenders”), any other Convertible Noteholders who provide commitments to fund term loans (collectively, the “DIP Lenders”)2 providing for up to $22.3 million of financing to be provided to the Company, which will come in the form of debtor-in-possession financing (the “DIP Facility”) consistent with the term sheet attached hereto as Annex 2 (the “DIP Term Sheet”) and otherwise acceptable to the Required DIP Lenders. The Debtors shall use the proceeds of the DIP Facility in accordance with the Approved Budget.

Overview of Plan:

The Restructuring Transactions shall be effectuated pursuant to a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”), which shall be in form and substance acceptable to the: (i) Company; (ii) the Required DIP Lenders; and (iii) the Requisite Consenting Noteholders; and shall otherwise be subject to the Definitive Documents (as defined in the DIP Term Sheet).

The Plan shall contemplate a process (the “Marketing Process”) to solicit bids (“Third-Party Bids”) for a sale transaction described below (the “Sale Process”).  The Marketing Process, which was commenced prior to the Petition Date, will continue post-petition pursuant to court-approved Bidding Procedures, and may result in consummation of a sale (the “Sale”) to the Plan Sponsor (as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement) of the equity interests in the Reorganized Debtors pursuant to the Plan.

Pursuant to the Plan, the Plan Sponsor will receive, on the Plan Effective Date, 100% of the equity of Reorganized Zynex (as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement) subject to dilution on or after the Plan Effective Date for awards under the MIP and, if applicable, their pro rata allocation of any take-back debt issued in connection with the Plan.  The equity interests in the other Debtor entities (i.e., the subsidiaries of Zynex, Inc.) shall remain in effect and shall be held (directly or indirectly) by Reorganized Zynex.


2

For the avoidance of doubt, Affiliated Lenders (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) are excluded from “DIP Lenders” to the extent of any consent or approval rights of the DIP Lenders in the Restructuring Support Agreement or herein.


The DIP Lenders shall form one or more entities to serve as the stalking horse bidder in the Sale Process (the “Stalking Horse Bidder”). Pursuant to the Bidding Procedures and the Restructuring Support Agreement, (i) the Stalking Horse Bidder shall credit bid (“Credit Bid”) up to the full amount of the DIP Obligations (as defined in the DIP Term Sheet) at the Auction (if any) (such Credit Bid, the “Stalking Horse Bid”).

In the event a Third-Party Bid submitted at the Auction (if any) is determined by the Debtors to be a higher and better bid than the Stalking Horse Bid, such third-party bidder shall be designated as the Successful Bidder (as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement) and serve as the Plan Sponsor. In the event the Stalking Horse Bid is determined by the Debtors to be the Successful Bid, the Stalking Horse Bidder shall be designated as the Successful Bidder and agrees to and shall serve as the Plan Sponsor.

To be deemed a higher or better Third-Party Bid than the Stalking Horse Bid, a bid must, among other things, (i) provide for the payment in full in cash of all DIP Obligations, (ii) contain closing conditions no less favorable to the Debtors than the conditions to the occurrence of the Plan Effective Date; and (iii) contain terms and conditions otherwise materially consistent with the Restructuring Support Agreement.  To the extent that the Debtors approve a Third-Party Bid as the Successful Bid, the full amount of the DIP Obligations must be repaid in full in cash as and when required under the DIP Loan Documents and by no later than the Plan Effective Date.

On the Plan Effective Date, each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, as applicable, shall receive under the Plan the treatment described in this Restructuring Term Sheet in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of and in exchange for such Holder’s Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, except to the extent different treatment is agreed to among the Reorganized Debtors, the Plan Sponsor, and the Holder of such Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest.  For the avoidance of doubt, any action required to be taken by the Debtors on the Plan Effective Date pursuant to this Restructuring Term Sheet may be taken on the Plan Effective Date or as soon as is reasonably practicable thereafter in consultation with the Plan Sponsor.
