4. Section 5 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

“Priority Supply; Obligations.

(a) This supply arrangement is non-exclusive as to Bolt, and Bolt may, during the Term, sell its bSilk Powder to other third parties for the manufacture of products, including haircare products or other personal products except as set forth below in 5(b), provided that Vegamour has satisfied each of the requirements set forth in 5(c). In the event Xxxx agrees to sell bSilk to any third party on pricing and discount terms more favorable than those offered to Vegamour after the Effective Date of the Agreement, the same pricing and discount terms shall apply to bSilk purchased thereafter by Vegamour, provided that Vegamour has satisfied the applicable Minimum Purchase requirement at the time.

(b) Bolt will preferentially supply Vegamour bSilk as set forth in this Section 5(b), provided that Vegamour has satisfied each of the requirements set forth in 5(c): (1) Bolt will refrain from supplying bSilk to third party customers for the development of Haircare products until December 31, 2023; (2) Bolt will refrain from supplying bSilk to third party customers for marketed Haircare products in the United States, Canada, European Union, United Kingdom, Australia & New Zealand until December 31, 2024; (3) Bolt will preferentially supply available Haircare bSilk to fulfill Vegamour's Product Orders during the Term (all of (1)-(3), the “Priority Supply”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bolt may reserve a reasonable amount of Haircare bSilk for Bolt's development and testing purposes, including using third parties to complete such development and testing.

(d) If applicable during the Term, Bolt will provide Vegamour the opportunity to discuss an extension of this Agreement prior to executing an agreement with a third party for the supply of bSilk that would prohibit Bolt supplying bSilk to Vegamour for Haircare Products in the Territory.

5. The following sentences are hereby added to the beginning of Section 10 of the Agreement as follows:
