THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Piestro, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Holder”), is entitled upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after September 3, 2021 (the “Issuance Date”) to subscribe for and purchase during the Exercise Period (as defined below) from 800 Degrees Pizza, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), 100 units (the “Warrant Units”) of the Company’s limited liability company membership units (the “Common Units”) at a purchase price of US $0.01 per Common Unit (the “Exercise Price”). The “Exercise Period” shall mean that period commencing with the Issuance Date and ending on the date that is ten (10) years after the Issuance Date. The Warrant Units are equal to 10% of the fully-diluted shares of Common Units as of the date hereof, where the term “fully-diluted” means, for purposes of this Agreement, such ownership assuming (x) the exercise of all outstanding options or warrants to acquire Common Units or units convertible into Common Units and (y) the conversion of all outstanding convertible debt securities or preferred units of the Company, if any, into Common Units.
THE TERMS, CONDITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS TO THIS WARRANT ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1. NO TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF WARRANT
Other than pursuant to the terms hereof, this Warrant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to sale under execution, attachment, levy or similar process.
2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT
2.1 Vesting of Warrant Units. The number of Warrant Units issuable pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant shall be dependent on the completion of certain milestones as set forth below and subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4 hereof.
(a) 25% of the Warrant Units shall vest when 800 Degrees GO, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“800 Go”), has secured, facilitated, brokered or arranged the sale of at least 1 “Piestro” pod pursuant to the terms of that certain Sales Representative Agreement being entered into contemporaneously herewith by and between the Holder and 800 Go (the “Sales Rep Agreement”).

(b) 25% of the Warrant Units shall vest when 800 Go has secured, facilitated, brokered or arranged the sale of at least 25 “Piestro” pods, on a cumulative basis, pursuant to the terms of the Sales Rep Agreement.
(c) 25% of the Warrant Units shall vest when 800 Go has secured, facilitated, brokered or arranged the sale of at least 50 “Piestro” pods, on a cumulative basis, pursuant to the terms of the Sales Rep Agreement.
(d) 25% of the Warrant Units shall vest when 800 Go has secured, facilitated, brokered or arranged the sale of at least 75 “Piestro” pods, on a cumulative basis, pursuant to the terms of the Sales Rep Agreement.
2.2 General. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable by the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time during the Exercise Period, by delivery of those items set forth below to the Company at its principal office (or at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder). In addition, this Warrant shall be exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of a Change of Control. “Change of Control” means (1) a disposition (whether by sale, exclusive license, or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets other than to an Excluded Entity (as defined below), whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, (2) a merger, consolidation or other capital reorganization or business combination transaction of the Company with or into another corporation, limited liability company or other entity other than an Excluded Entity (defined below), including, but not limited to, any transaction or series of related transactions in which a person, or group of related persons, acquires from members of the Company equity interests representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the Company, (3) the consummation of a transaction, or series of related transactions, in which any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of all of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities, or (4) a liquidation of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction shall not constitute a Change of Control if its primary purpose is to (A) change the jurisdiction of the Company’s incorporation, or (B) create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who hold the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction. An “Excluded Entity” means a corporation, limited liability company or other entity of which the holders of the Company’s voting securities outstanding immediately prior to such transaction are the direct or indirect holders of voting securities representing at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by all of such corporation’s, limited liability company’s or other entity’s voting securities outstanding immediately after such transaction.
-2-
2.3 Method of Exercise. Subject to the terms hereof and compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part and from time to time during the Exercise Period, by the Holder by: (i) surrender of this Warrant; (ii) delivery of the duly executed notice of exercise (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) at the principal office of the Company; and (iii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the product of the then applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Units then being purchased pursuant to one of the payment methods permitted under Section 2.3. Upon receipt by the Company of the foregoing items, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Units so purchased. The Warrant Units so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to such Holder as the record owner of such Warrant Units as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid. Certificates for the Warrant Units purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, but not later than ten (10) days after the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid. If this Warrant is exercised with respect to less than all of the Warrant Units covered hereby, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant, in this form, covering the number of Warrant Units with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or Change of Control, such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.
2.4 Payment. Payment shall be made either: (i) by cash or check drawn on a United States bank and for United States funds made payable to the Company; (ii) by wire transfer of United States funds for the account of the Company; (iii) by “cashless” or “net” exercise as set forth below or (iv) by recourse promissory note, on such form as approved by the Company.
(a) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, if the fair market value of one of the Company’s Common Units is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise such rights represented by this Warrant at any time and from time to time during the term hereof, in whole or in part, on a net-issue basis by electing to receive the number of Warrant Units which are equal in value to the value of this Warrant (or any portion thereof to be canceled in connection with such net-issue exercise) at the time of any such net-issue exercise, by delivery to the principal offices of the Company of this Warrant together with the delivery of the properly endorsed notice of exercise (the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A), duly executed, at the principal office of the Company, properly marked to indicate the number of Warrant Units to be delivered to the Holder in connection with such net-issue exercise.
(b) In the event that the Holder shall elect to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant in whole or in part on a net-issue basis pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Common Units computed using the following formula:
X = Y(A – B)
A
Where | X | = | the number of Common Units to be issued to the Holder; |
Y | = | the number of Common Units purchasable under the Warrant or, if a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation); |
-3-
A | = | the fair market value of one of the Company’s Common Units (at the date of such calculation); and |
B | = | the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation). |
For purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one Common Unit shall be determined by an independent valuation firm hired by the Company; provided, however, that in the event that this Warrant is exercised pursuant to this Section 2.3 in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of its Common Units, the fair market value per unit shall be the per unit offering price to the public of the Company’s initial public offering.
2.5 No Fractional Units or Scrip. No fractional units or scrip representing fractional units shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a unit called for upon the exercise of this Warrant, an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the then current price at which each Common Unit may be purchased hereunder shall be paid in cash to the Holder.
2.6 Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Units upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder of this Warrant.
2.7 Transfer Restriction Legend. This Warrant and each certificate for Warrant Units issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such Warrant Units are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) shall bear the legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant, as well as such other legends as otherwise required by applicable securities laws. Each certificate for Warrant Units issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall also bear the following legend:
“THE UNITS REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED OR IN ANY MANNER DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE UNITS (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE UNITS). THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY WILL UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FURNISH A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT TO THE HOLDER HEREOF WITHOUT CHARGE.”
2.8 Character of Warrant Units. All Warrant Units issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant in accordance to the provisions provided herein and upon payment of the purchase price by Holder, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
-4-
3. NO RIGHTS AS OWNER
This Warrant by itself does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as an equity owner of the Company prior to the exercise hereof.
4. ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE AND UNITS PURCHASABLE
If the Company at any time, by subdivision, combination or reclassification of securities or otherwise, changes any of the securities to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Warrant shall (if such adjustment has not already been caused by an appropriate adjustment to the composition of the Common Units under the then effective Certificate of Formation of the Company) thereafter be to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision, combination, reclassification or other change. If the Common Units are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of Common Units, the Exercise Price shall (if such adjustment has not already been caused by an appropriate adjustment to the composition of the Common Units under the then effective Certificate of Formation of the Company) be proportionately reduced in the case of subdivision of units or proportionately increased in the case of combination of units, in both cases by the ratio which the total number of Common Units to be outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of Common Units outstanding immediately prior to such event.
5. EXCHANGE AND REGISTRY OF WARRANT
This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the registered Holder at the above-mentioned office or agency of the Company, for a new warrant of like tenor and dated as of such exchange. The Company shall maintain at the above-mentioned office or agency a registry showing the name and address of the registered Holder of this Warrant.
6. LOSS, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR MUTILATION OF WARRANT
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of this Warrant.
7. SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS, HOLIDAYS, ETC.
If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday or a Sunday or shall be a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday or Sunday or legal holiday.

8. TRANSFER.
8.1 Holder’s Right to Transfer. Before any proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of the Restricted Securities (as defined below), unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transaction, the Holder thereof shall give notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such sale, pledge, or transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer in sufficient detail and, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall be accompanied at such Holder’s expense by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transaction may be effected without registration under the Securities Act; (ii) a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of such Restricted Securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto; or (iii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon the Holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to sell, pledge, or transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice given by the Holder to the Company. The Company will not require such a legal opinion or “no action” letter in any transaction in which such Holder distributes Restricted Securities to an affiliate of such Holder for no consideration; provided that each transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Subsection 8.1. Each certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall be notated with, except if such transfer is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144, the appropriate restrictive legend, except that such certificate instrument, or book entry shall not be notated with such restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel for such Holder and the Company, such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.
8.2 Assignment. The right of the Company to purchase any part of the Warrant Units may be assigned in whole or in part to any holder or holders of capital stock of the Company or other persons or organizations.
8.3 Restrictions Binding on Transferees. All transferees of Warrant Units or any interest therein will receive and hold such Warrant Units or interest subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Any sale or transfer of the Warrant Units shall be void unless the provisions of this Agreement are satisfied.

9. MARKET STAND-OFF AGREEMENT
Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the registration by the Company of its Common Units or any other equity securities under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3, and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in the case of an initial public offering, or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (1) the publication or other distribution of research reports, and (2) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2241, or any successor provisions or amendments thereto, or ninety (90) days in the case of any registration other than an initial public offering, or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (1) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (2) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2241, or any successor provisions or amendments thereto), (i) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Common Units (whether such units or any such securities are then owned by the Holder or are thereafter acquired) or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Units or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 9 shall not apply to (x) the sale of any equity securities to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement or (y) the sale or transfer of any equity securities to any entity that is a direct or indirect subsidiary of the ultimate corporate parent of the Holder; provided that the Holder shall deliver prior written notice to the Company of such sale or transfer and such equity securities shall at all times remain subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and such transferee shall, as a condition to such sale or transfer, deliver a counterpart signature page to this Agreement as confirmation that such transferee shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a Holder (but only with respect to the securities so transferred to the transferee), and shall be applicable to the Holders only if all officers and directors are subject to the same restrictions and the Company uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a similar agreement from all stockholders individually owning more than one percent (1%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Units (after giving effect to conversion into Common Units of all outstanding preferred stock of the Company). The underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 9 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are consistent with this Section 9 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the Company or the underwriters shall apply pro rata to all Holders subject to such agreements, based on the number of units subject to such agreements.
10. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS
The Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring the Warrant and the Warrant Units (collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) solely for its account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or distribution of said Restricted Securities or any part thereof. The Holder also represents that the entire legal and beneficial interests of the Restricted Securities the Holder is acquiring is being acquired for, and will be held for, its account only. The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
The Holder understands that none of the Restricted Securities have been registered under the Securities Act on the basis that no distribution or public offering of the stock of the Company is to be effected. The Holder realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, the Holder has a present intention of acquiring the securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the securities. The Holder has no such present intention.
-7-
The Holder recognizes that the Restricted Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder recognizes that the Company has no obligation to register the Restricted Securities of the Company, or to comply with any exemption from such registration.
11. EARLY TERMINATION
In the event of, at any time during the Exercise Period, an initial public offering of securities of the Company registered under the Securities Act, or a Change of Control, the Company shall provide to the Holder twenty (20) days advance written notice of such public offering or a Change of Control, and this Warrant shall terminate unless exercised prior to the date such public offering is closed or the consummation of such Change of Control.

12.6 Notices. Any written notice required by the provisions of this Warrant to be given by the Company to the Holder shall be validly given if given personally or by mail or other means of written communication to the Holder in a manner which would be sufficient to constitute the giving of valid notice of a members’ meeting were the Holder a member of the Company.
