The number of Warrant Shares will not be proportionally increased pursuant to Section 2(c) thereof based on the voluntary price adjustment in this Section 2(d) of the Agreement.

(e) The preamble of the Warrants is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows (strikethrough indicates deletion; bold underline indicates addition):

“Cryptyde, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, HUDSON BAY MASTER FUND LTD., the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “Warrant”), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), ONE HUNDRED ELEVEN MILLION (111,000,000) THREE MILLION THREE HUNDRED THIRTY THREE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED THIRTY THREE (3,333,333) (subject to adjustment as provided herein) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “Warrant Shares”).

(f) The first sentence of Section 1(g)(i) of the Warrant is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows (strikethrough indicates deletion; bold underline indicates addition).

“(i) Required Reserve Amount. So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to 200100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock under the Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise) (the “Required Reserve Amount”)”

3. Amendment TO RRA.

(a) The definition of “Required Registration Amount” set forth in Section 1(l) of the RRA is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows (strikethrough indicates deletion; bold underline indicates addition):

““Required Registration Amount” means the sum of (i) 200% of the maximum number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the Notes are convertible at the then applicable initial Conversion Price (as defined in the Notes) and (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Notes set forth in the Notes) and (ii) 200% of the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth therein) assuming all cash has been released from the Control Account (as defined in the Notes), all subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(d) and/or Section 2(f).”

4. Amendment TO SPA

(a) The first sentence of Section 4(l) of the SPA is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows (strikethrough indicates deletion; bold underline indicates addition):

5. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS.

(a) For the avoidance of doubt, the Company agrees that both (i) the Conversion Price Voluntary Adjustment in Section 2(a) of this Agreement will cause an adjustment to the number of Conversion Shares and (ii) the adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without any regard to any limitation or restriction on conversion or exercise set forth therein) pursuant to Section 2(c) of the Warrants and Sections 2(a) and 2(b) herein, will require the Company, in accordance with Section 2(d) of the RRA, to amend the Registration Statement on Form S-1 with Registration No. 333-266848 (if permissible) or file a new registration statement with the SEC, or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount (as defined in the RRA) as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new registration statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date.

(b) At any time after the date hereof, so long as (i) no Equity Conditions Failure occurs as of the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date (as defined below) or the Company Optional Redemption Date (as defined below) and (ii) the Company has sufficient resources to effect a Company Optional Redemption (as defined below) on the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date and on the Company Optional Redemption Date (the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Company Optional Redemption Conditions”), the Company shall have the right to redeem all or a portion of the Conversion Amount then remaining under the Note, provided that, if the Company elects to redeem less than all of this Note, the Company shall not redeem less than $1,000,000 of the Conversion Amount of this Note (the “Company Optional Redemption Amount”) as designated in the Company Optional Redemption Notice (as defined below) on the Company Optional Redemption Date (a “Company Optional Redemption”). The Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be redeemed by the Company on the Company Optional Redemption Date in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions provided by the Holder in writing to the Company at a price equal to 100% of the Conversion Amount to be redeemed. The Company may exercise its right to require redemption under this Section 5(b) by delivering a ten (10) Trading Days prior written notice thereof by electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holder (the “Company Optional Redemption Notice” and the date the Holder received such notice is referred to as the “Company Optional Redemption Notice Date”). The Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. The Company Optional Redemption Notice shall (i) state the date on which the Company Optional Redemption shall occur (the “Company Optional Redemption Date”), which date shall be the tenth (10th) Trading Day immediately following the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date, (ii) state the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Notes which the Company has elected to be subject to the Company Optional Redemption from the Holder on the Company Optional Redemption Date, (iii) state the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price and (iv) certify that each Company Optional Redemption Condition has been satisfied as of the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date and that the Company Optional Redemption Conditions are expected to be satisfied on the Company Optional Redemption Date. If after the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date when the Company confirmed that the Company Optional Redemption Conditions have been satisfied as of the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date, one or more Company Optional Redemption Conditions fail or is reasonably expected to fail on the Company Optional Redemption Date, the Company shall promptly, but in any event within one (1) Business Day of such failure or of the Company becoming aware of such expected failure, provide the Holder a subsequent written notice to that effect. If a Company Optional Redemption Condition fails (which is not waived in writing by the Holder) on the Company Optional Redemption Date, then the Company Optional Redemption shall be null and void with respect to all or any part designated by the Holder of the unconverted Company Optional Redemption Amount and the Holder shall be entitled to all the rights of a holder of this Note with respect to such amount of the Company Optional Redemption Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(b), until the Company Optional Redemption Price is paid in full, the Company Optional Redemption Amount may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3 of the Note. All Conversion Amounts converted by the Holder after the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date shall reduce the Company Optional Redemption Amount of this Note required to be redeemed on the Company Optional Redemption Date, unless the Holder otherwise indicates in the applicable Conversion Notice. Company Optional Redemptions made pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be made in accordance with Section 11 of the Note. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section 5(b), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. If the Company elects to cause a Company Optional Redemption pursuant to this Section 5(b), then it must simultaneously take the same action in the same proportion with respect to the Other Notes, if any.

(c) The Company shall provide each stockholder entitled to vote at the next special or annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholder Meeting”), which shall be promptly called and held not later than April 1, 2023 (the “Stockholder Meeting Deadline”), a proxy statement, in the form which has been previously reviewed by the Buyers and Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP, at the expense of the Company, soliciting each such stockholder’s affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting for approving the increase of the authorized shares of Common Stock from 250,000,000 to 500,000,000) (such affirmative approval being referred to herein as the “Stockholder Approval” and the date the Stockholder Approval is obtained is referred to herein as the “Stockholder Approval Date”), and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such resolutions and to cause the Board of Directors of the Company to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such resolutions. The Company shall be obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Stockholder Approval by the Stockholder Meeting Deadline. If, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts the Stockholder Approval is not obtained on or prior to the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, the Company shall cause an additional Stockholder Meeting to be held every ninety (90) days thereafter until such Stockholder Approval is obtained.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 9(a) of the Note and Section 4(l) of the SPA (as amended hereby) to the contrary, until the earlier to occur of (i) the Stockholder Approval Date and (ii) the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, the Holder hereby waives the Company’s requirement to reserve for issuances 200% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the Note; provided, that during such period the Company shall be required to reserve for issuances 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the Note.

(e) To the extent the Holder converts any portion of the Note during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period starting on January 6, 2023 (the “Applicable Conversion Period”), the Holder shall, on the first (1^st) Business Day immediately following the end of the Applicable Conversion Period, release to the Company an amount of cash from the Control Account equal to 20% of the Conversion Amount converted during the Applicable Conversion Period if the VWAP of the Common Stock on each Trading Day during the Applicable Conversion Period equals or exceeds $0.20 (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction relating to the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof) and there is no circumstance or event that would, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, result in a material default, material breach or Event of Default under any Transaction Document.

(f) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, and as amended by the First Amendment Agreement and that certain waiver dated as of September 14, 2022 by and between the Company and the Holder (as defined therein), each Transaction Document (as defined in the SPA), is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.

(g) The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall be deemed a “Transaction Document” as defined in the SPA and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the SPA).

6. CLOSING.

The date and time of the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated herein (the “Closing Date”) shall be 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date hereof, subject to the notification of satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 8 and 9 hereof. The Closing shall occur at the offices of Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP, 919 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022 and may be undertaken remotely by electronic exchange of documentation.
