RE: Preferred Warrant Amendments

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Warrant to Purchase Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, dated February 7, 2023 (the “Warrant”), No. PW-001, issued by Bed Bath & Beyond Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”) to HBC Investments LLC (the “Holder”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the Warrant.

Effective as of the time both the Company and the Holder shall have duly executed and delivered this letter (the “Effective Time”), the Warrant is hereby amended as follows (the “Amendments”):

(a) The definition of Price Failure is hereby amended to add the following:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time, and for any period of time, as applicable, the Holder may lower any dollar threshold specified in this definition to any lower dollar threshold, in each case, as specified by the Holder in a written notice to the Company.

(b) The definition of Volume Failure is hereby amended to add the following:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time, and for any period of time, as applicable, the Holder may lower any dollar threshold specified in this definition to any lower dollar threshold, in each case, as specified by the Holder in a written notice to the Company.

Effective as the Effective Time, during the period commencing on the Effective Time through, and including, 9:00 AM, New York City time on April 3, 2023 (the “Limited Reduction Period”), the Holder hereby elects to reduce both the $1.50 and $1.25 dollar thresholds in Section 18(u) of the Warrant to $1.00 (in each case, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions occurring after the Subscription Date) (the “Limited Reduction”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Limited Reduction shall cease to be of further force and effect after 9:00 AM, New York City time on April 3, 2023. In addition, the Holder hereby elects to increase the Threshold Share Amount from 21,054 to 24,739.


The Amendments are limited to the sections explicitly amended in accordance herewith and should not be construed as an indication that the Holder would be willing to agree to any future amendments, modifications to, consent of, or waiver of any of the terms of the Warrant, or any other agreement, instrument or security or any amendments, modifications to, consents of, or waiver of any breach or any Equity Conditions Failure that may exist or occur thereunder.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Transaction Document is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.

This letter may not be changed, modified or altered except by an agreement in writing, signed by the Company and the Holder.

This letter will be governed by, and interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. Each party hereto irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York with respect to any matter arising hereunder or related hereto. The parties to this letter hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this letter or the matters contemplated hereby in the courts of the State of New York and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding so brought has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or covenant of this letter shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision or covenant hereof, and any such invalid provision or covenant shall be deemed to be severable.

This letter shall be construed without regard to the party or parties responsible for the preparation of same and shall be deemed as prepared jointly by the parties. Any ambiguity or uncertainty existing herein shall not be interpreted or construed against any party.

The parties agree to execute and deliver such further instruments, and to take such further actions, as may be reasonably necessary or proper to effectuate and carry the purposes of this letter.

This letter may be executed in counterparts, facsimile and/or PDF copies shall be deemed to be originals, and counterparts together constitute one and the same instrument.
