This WARRANT REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of August 24, 2021, by and between Kalerya, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned holder of the Existing Warrants (as defined below) (the “Holder”).

RECITALS

A.    The Holder previously acquired those certain Common Stock Warrants currently exercisable into such aggregate number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Existing Warrants”).

B.    The Company desires to repurchase the Existing Warrants from the Holder at a price of $3.25 per share of Common Stock underlying the Existing Warrants.

C.    Each of the Company and the Holder desire to effectuate such repurchase on the basis and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

The parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.    Repurchase of Existing Warrants. The Holder hereby conveys, assigns, transfers and surrenders the Existing Warrants to the Company and, in exchange, the Company shall cancel the Existing Warrants and pay the Holder the aggregate purchase price set forth on Schedule A hereto. In connection with such repurchase, the Holder hereby relinquishes all rights, title and interest in the Existing Warrants (including any claims the Holder may have against the Company related thereto) and assigns the same to the Company. Three business days after the date of this Agreement, the Holder shall deliver the Existing Warrants to the Company’s transfer agent Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, (“Transfer Agent”), from its account at Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through the Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system. The Existing Warrants are hereby deemed cancelled and of no further force and effect, effective immediately, and shall hereafter represent only the right to receive the aggregate purchase price set forth on Schedule A.

2.    Payment of Repurchase Price. Immediately following the receipt by the Transfer Agent of the DWAC of the Existing Warrants, the Company shall wire to the Holder the aggregate purchase price set forth on Schedule A in accordance with the wire instructions set forth on the Holder’s signature page hereto.

3.    Representations and Warranties of the Holder.

(a)    The Holder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized.

(b)    The Holder has all requisite power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and


performance of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Holder, have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Holder, and no other proceedings on the part of the Holder are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c)    This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Holder, and, assuming due execution and delivery by the Company, constitutes or will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Holder, enforceable against the Holder in accordance with its terms, subject to limitations on enforcement by general principles of equity and by bankruptcy or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

(d)    The Holder owns and holds, beneficially and of record, the entire right, title, and interest in and to the Existing Warrants free and clear of all Liens (as defined below). The Holder has the full power and authority to transfer and dispose of the Existing Warrants free and clear of any Lien other than restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities laws. Other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, there is no outstanding vote, plan, pending proposal, or other right of any person to acquire all or any portion of the Existing Warrants. As used herein, “Liens” shall mean any security or other property interest or right, claim, lien, pledge, option, charge, security interest, contingent or conditional sale, or other title claim or retention agreement, interest or other right or claim of third parties, whether perfected or not perfected, voluntarily incurred or arising by operation of law, and including any agreement (other than this Agreement) to grant or submit to any of the foregoing in the future.

(e)    The execution, delivery and performance by the Holder of this Agreement, and the consummation by the Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Holder, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of or default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Holder is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to the Holder, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Holder to perform its obligations hereunder.

(f)    The Holder is not (i) an “affiliate” of the Company (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) or (ii) the “beneficial owner” (as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock assuming that the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock are as set forth on the cover page of its most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(g)    The Holder has been given full and adequate access to information relating to the Company, including its business, finances and operations as the Holder has deemed necessary or advisable in connection with the Holder’s evaluation of the repurchase of the Existing Warrants. The Holder has not relied upon any representations or statements made by the Company

The Holder has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its sale of the Existing Warrants to the Company. The Holder is relying solely on its own accounting, legal and tax advisors, and not on any statements of the Company or any of its agents or representatives, for such accounting, legal and tax advice with respect to its sale of the Existing Warrants to the Company and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(h)    The Holder acknowledges that the terms of the repurchase of the Existing Warrants have been established by negotiation between the Company and the Holder. The Holder acknowledges that the Company has not made any representation to the Holder about the advisability of this decision or the potential future value of any of the Existing Warrants. THE HOLDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, BY SELLING THE EXISTING WARRANTS TO THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE HOLDER WILL NOT BENEFIT FROM ANY FUTURE APPRECIATION IN THE MARKET VALUE OF THE EXISTING WARRANTS.
