Re: Amendment to Alchemy Consulting Agreement

 

Dear Sirs:

 

Reference is made to that certain Consulting Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2021 (the “Agreement”), by and between Alchemy Advisory LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Puerto Rico (the “Consultant”), and Inspire Veterinary Partners, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”). The Company and Consultant are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties”. Defined terms used herein but not defined in this letter agreement (this “Amendment”) shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Consulting Agreement.

 

For good and valuable consideration, the Parties hereby agree as follows.

 

1.       Amendment of Consulting Agreement. Section 2 (Term) of the Consulting Agreement is hereby amended by deleting said Section 2 in its entirety and replacing it with the following paragraph:

 

2.       TERM. The Term of this contract will expire on June 30, 2023, at which point the contract can be extended for another 6 months with the consent of both parties in writing.

 

2.       Additional Compensation. In addition to the compensation heretofore provided for under the Consulting Agreement and for services rendered by the Consulting in connection with the consummation of the Company’s currently pending bridge financing (the “Bridge Financing”), the Company shall pay to the Consultant an additional sum of Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000). Such cash payment is due within five (5) business days of the closing of the Bridge Financing. In addition to such additional cash payment, the Company shall issue Eighty-Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Four (83,334) restricted shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Additional Shares”) to the Consultant within five (5) business days of closing of the Bridge Financing. For all relevant purposes, the number of Additional Shares to be issued and delivered to the Consultant, shall be appropriately adjusted to take into account any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, recapitalization, or similar change in the Company’s Class A common stock, which may occur between the date of the execution of this Amendment and the Company’s initial public offering. For clarity, in the event the Company undertakes a reverse stock prior to the Company’s initial public offering then the Company agrees to issue further Additional Shares so that the Consultant will have Eighty-Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Four (83,334) restricted shares of Class A common stock post reverse stock split. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Consultant shall not receive more than 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A common stock post reverse stock split. The Additional Shares will also have piggy-back registration rights and will be registered whenever the Company is required or proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (including primary and secondary registrations) in a registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

3.       Board Action. As a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the Company will deliver to the Consultant a true and correct copy of the Unanimous Written Consent of the Board of Directors of the Company, executed by each member of such Board, authorizing the issuance of the Additional Shares (as well as the 125,000 shares of Class A common stock of the Company issued in consideration for the services rendered to the Company pursuant to the prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment), in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto.

 

4.       Miscellaneous. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York

  

  Very truly yours,
     
  Alchemy Advisory LLC
