WAIVER OF PERFORMANCE

AND SECOND AMENDMENT TO SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

 

This "Waiver of Performance and Second Amendment to Settlement Agreement" (hereinafter, the "SASA") shall be effective upon the satisfaction of the Conditions Precedent to Closing (as that term is defined in the Conditions Agreement, executed by the Parties contemporaneously herewith) or Spirit Bear's waiver thereof (the "Conditions to Effectiveness") (the "Second Amendment Effective Date") by and between Spirit Bear Limited and its Assignees ("Spirit Bear"), and Cool Technologies, Inc., f/k/a HPEV, Inc. ("CoolTech"); each of Spirit Bear, its Assignees, and CoolTech being sometimes referred to hereinafter individually as a "Party" or, collectively, as the "Parties".

 

WHEREAS, the Parties are signatories to that certain Settlement and Release Agreement, effective as of May 1, 2015 (the "SRA"), to resolve with finality all issues related to and arising directly and indirectly from previous agreements between them and litigations in connection therewith;

 

WHEREAS, the Parties are signatories to that certain First Amendment to Settlement Agreement, effective as of May 1, 2015 (the "FASA"), to amend certain terms and provisions of the SRA; and

 

WHEREAS, CoolTech, pursuant to Section 1.3-1 of the FASA, has filed an S-1 Registration Statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for Spirit Bear's shares in CoolTech (including common shares, and preferred shares and warrants convertible into common shares in CoolTech); and

 

WHEREAS,the SEC has not yet declared the aforementioned S-1 Registration Statement effective; and

 

WHEREAS, CoolTech desires to withdraw the S-1 from consideration by the SEC and Spirit Bear agrees to the withdrawal of the S-1 on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the foregoing the Parties wish further to amend certain provisions of the SRA and of the FASA, as provided herein below;

 

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

 

*   *   *   *   *

 

1. Section 1.2-1 of the FASA. The Parties mutually acknowledge that the promises and performances set forth in Section 1.2-1 of the FASA have been performed. The Parties now desire to effectuate a warrant exchange which will modify and amend the strike price and expiration dates of the warrants previously issued to the warrant holders set forth in Section 1.2-1 of the FASA as follows:

 

Subject to the satisfaction of the Conditions to Effectiveness, HPEV will, by February 12, 2016, deliver warrants to Spirit Bear and Lorenzo, as provided in Table 1.2-1 below (the "Warrants"). Except as otherwise provided in the separate indemnification agreement executed May 1, 2015 with the FASA (the "Indemnification Agreement"), such Warrants shall be delivered to Spirit Bear's counsel as identified in Section 3.6 of the FASA (the actual date of delivery being the "Second Amendment Delivery Date").

To the extent that the Indemnification Agreement requires that certain warrants be held in escrow, such same provisions shall apply to the Warrants, which shall initially be distributed to the Parties' counsels to be held in escrow pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement. For the purpose of clarity, subject to satisfaction of the Conditions to Effectiveness, all such Warrants belonging to Lorenzo may be immediately delivered to Lorenzo; and such Warrants belonging to Spirit Bear may be immediately delivered to Spirit Bear, except for the 1,800,000 Warrants to be held pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the Conditions to Effectiveness on the Second Amendment Delivery Date, HPEV shall cancel and direct HPEV's transfer agent to reflect as cancelled any and all still outstanding and unexercised Warrants previously issued or recorded as being held by Spirit Bear and/or Lorenzo as set forth in paragraph 1.2-1 of the FASA (the "FASA Warrants"). HPEV agrees that the existence of the Lien (as defined in the Indemnification Agreement) shall not excuse it from any obligation to cooperate with Spirit Bear's and Lorenzo's exercise of the Warrants.

 

The warrant positions of Spirit Bear and Lorenzo as of the Second Amendment Delivery Date is as follows, without regard to the existence or possession of earlier-issued warrants (all of which shall be deemed void as of the Second Amendment Delivery Date):

In consideration thereof, CoolTech agrees to reimburse Spirit Bear and Lorenzo $1,000 per opinion letter for the reasonable costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys' fees Spirit Bear and Lorenzo incur in securing opinion letters from counsel opining that the sale of the securities which are the subject of the withdrawn S-1 Registration Statement, are permitted for sale and excluded from registration pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144a of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or any other securities law exemption. Such reimbursement shall be paid by CoolTech within fifteen (15) business days after Spirit Bear and/or Lorenzo tender to CoolTech a copy of the opinion letter, in accordance with the notice provisions provided in the SRA and FASA.
