a.the Issuer has delivered to Senyun a Warrant registered in the name of Senyun to purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 33% of Senyun’s Conversion Shares on such Additional Funding Date, with an exercise price equal to $5.00, subject to adjustment therein, in a form attached as Exhibit D to the Securities Purchase Agreement, with such further adjustments to be agreed to by the parties;

f.the Issuer has (i) either (A) obtained the prior written consent of FF Simplicity for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (B) with the prior written consent of Senyun (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), agreed to issue unsecured notes (“Unsecured Notes”) to Senyun in lieu of Notes on substantially identical terms as the Notes other than such Unsecured Notes shall not have any security interest (and such Unsecured Notes shall also have such other adjustments required so that FF Simplicity’s consent under the SPA shall not be required in connection with the issuance thereof), and (ii) shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver from each of FF Simplicity and RAAJJ Trading LLC of its right to amend its existing Note(s) as permitted under Section 2.5(b) of the SPA and any downward adjustment to the conversion price of the Note(s) as a result of the amendments contemplated by this letter agreement, provided that obtaining such waiver shall not be a condition to any Senyun funding;
