WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Secured Senior Notes (the “First Notes”) issued on the First Closing Date (as defined below) to provide an additional lump sum payment of Interest on the unpaid principal balance of such Purchaser’s First Note as set forth below; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Subscription Agreement and the Senior Secured Notes accordingly, and pursuant to Section 12.12, the Subscription Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Company and the Purchasers and such amendment shall be binding upon each party to the Subscription Agreement and each Holder of a Senior Secured Note, and the Existing Purchasers constitute the Purchasers.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Amendments.

 

(a) Recitals.

 

i.The reference to an aggregate Offering amount of “$400,000” in the recitals of the Subscription Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with “$2,000,000.” For purposes of clarity, $400,000 of the aggregate Offering amount was sold on January 9, 2024 (the “First Closing Date”) and the remainder shall be sold on additional closing dates after the date hereof (each, a “Subsequent Closing Date”).

 

ii.The reference to “100,000 shares of Common Stock” included in the recitals of the Subscription Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with “600,000 shares of Common Stock”. For purposes of clarity, Warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock were issued on the First Closing Date and Warrants to purchase the remaining 500,000 shares of Common Stock in aggregate shall be issued on the Subsequent Closing Dates in accordance with Section 4 of this Amendment.

(b) Section 1.1(a). Section 1.1(a) of the Subscription Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and amended and restated to read as follows:

 

“The Company has authorized the issuance and sale of promissory notes that shall be dated as of the First Closing Date or the applicable Subsequent Closing Date as applicable (as defined below) and shall be in the aggregate original principal amount of up to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) USD in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Senior Secured Notes” and each a “Senior Secured Note”), subject to the receipt by the Company or Persons as directed by the Company of the Consideration no later than the applicable Closing Date. In exchange for the Consideration paid by each Purchaser, the Company will sell and issue to such Purchaser a Senior Secured Note. Each Senior Secured Note will have a principal balance equal to the Consideration paid by such Purchaser for such Senior Secured Note, as set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule A, and shall accrue interest on its unpaid principal balance at an aggregate rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum (with a minimum of one year of interest), which interest shall accrue from the Closing Date and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full on the first Business Day of each month (the “Interest”). There will be a three (3)-day grace period following the first Business Day of each month, after which a late payment fee of $100 (the “Late Payment Fee”) per day per Senior Secured Note shall be assessed and payable in addition to the past due Interest. Any arrears in Interest or the incurrence of a Late Payment Fee shall constitute an Event of Default under the Senior Secured Notes until cured, and the Purchaser shall be entitled to all remedies available to it under the Senior Secured Notes and this Agreement. In addition, each holder of a Senior Secured Note issued effective as of January 9, 2024 (each a “First Note”) shall be entitled to a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the difference between (a) twelve (12) months of Interest on the unpaid principal balance of such First Note and (b) the amount of Interest previously paid to such holder through the initial Subsequent Closing Date (the “Additional Payment”), which Additional Payment shall be paid by the Company to each holder of a First Note on the initial Subsequent Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Interest on each First Note shall thereafter continue to accrue and be payable on a monthly basis in accordance with the terms of such First Note. The Senior Secured Notes shall be secured pursuant to the terms of a security agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, as amended form time to time (the “Security Agreement”).

 

(c) Section 1.4. Section 1.4 of the Subscription Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and amended and restated to read as follows:

 

The closing of the sale of the Senior Secured Notes and Warrants in return for the Consideration paid by the Purchasers shall occur in one or more closings (each, a “Closing Date”); provided that references to the initial closing of the sale of Senior Secured Notes and Warrants that occurred on January 9, 2024 shall be referred to herein as the First Closing Date, and the closing of the sale of the Senior Secured Notes and Warrants issued to the New Purchasers hereafter shall each be referred to herein as a Subsequent Closing Date. At each Closing, (i) each Purchaser will deliver to the Company the amount of Consideration set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule A, and (ii) the Company will (A) deliver to each Purchaser an executed Senior Secured Note and Warrant and the Other Investor Agreements in return for the Consideration provided to the Company and (B) pay the Closing Fees as set forth in Section 12.10 below (which Closing Fees shall be deducted from the Consideration as described above).

(e) Section 12.10. Section 12.10 of the Subscription Agreement is hereby amended to add the following sentences to the end of the section:
