Section 9.8. Section 9.8 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 

Extension Funding. The Company shall provide a loan to Parent in the amount of One Million Nine Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars ($1,930,000) for the purpose of funding any payment due in connection with an extension of the period of time for Parent to consummate a business combination and for working capital purposes (the “Loan”). The Loan shall be funded in three installments, in the amount of Seven Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($740,000) on each of October 26, 2022 and January 26, 2023, and in the amount of Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($450,000) on April 26, 2023. Of each such installment, the sum of Six Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars ($690,000) (for the Loan installment extended on each of October 26, 2022 and January 26, 2023) and Three Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($360,000) (for the Loan installment extended on April 26, 2023) (each, an “Extension Funding Amount”) shall be used to cover the extension costs, and the remaining balance of each Loan installment shall be used for working capital. In the event that the actual extension costs are less than the Extension Funding Amount, Parent shall promptly repay the difference between such actual extension costs and the Extension Funding Amount. Parent shall issue a promissory note for the amount of the Loan in favor of the Company (the “Promissory Note”).The Promissory Note shall be subject to such additional terms and conditions customary for instruments of this type.”
