Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Senior Note (as defined below).
X. Xxxxxxxx previously issued to Lender a Secured Convertible Promissory Note dated December 15, 2021, in the principal amount of $16,320,000.00 (as amended by those certain Amendments thereto, dated as of February 7, 2022, May 18, 2022, and August 17, 2022, respectively, the “Senior Note”).
X. Xxxxxxxx previously issued to Lender a Secured Promissory Note dated August 17, 2022 in the principal amount of $5,443,333.33 (the “August Note,” and, together with the Senior Note, the “Notes”).
X. Xxxxxxxx previously issued to the Lender a Common Stock Purchase Warrant dated November 22, 2021 (the “Warrant”), exercisable for 1,500,000 shares of the Borrower’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Company Common Stock”).
X. Xxxxxxxx previously issued to Lender shares of Borrower’s Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series E Convertible Preferred Stock”).
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Recitals. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the recitals set forth above in this Agreement are true and accurate and are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.
2. Warrant. The Warrant, none of which has been exercised, shall be, in accordance with that certain merger agreement dated as of October 24, 2022, by and among Borrower, Yotta Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Yotta Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Merger Agreement”), at Lender’s option in accordance with notice provided to Borrower pursuant to Section 16 hereof at least five business days prior to Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) either: (a) contingent on and effective at Closing, cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal to the per Warrant Share (as defined in the Warrant) value thereof based on the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Warrant) multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares on the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and an Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant) equal to 80% of the average volume weighted average price of the Company Common Stock during the five trading day period immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Adjusted Exercise Price”); or (b) as of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), canceled and treated as if exercised for that number of shares of Company Common Stock calculated using the Black Scholes Value, the number of Warrant Shares on the Closing Date and the Adjusted Exercise Price, with the shares of Company Common Stock that would have been due to Lender as a result of such exercise of the Warrant treated as issued to Lender and converted into the right to receive (i) the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) plus (ii) the Additional Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement), if any, at the time and subject to the contingencies set forth in Section 3.7 of the Merger Agreement. In addition, in the event that Lender elects the option set forth in clause (b) of this Section 2, the calculation set forth in Section 3(b) below will also apply to the shares receivable by Lender pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 2.
3. Series E Convertible Preferred Stock.
| (a) | All of the shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock owned beneficially and of record by Lender immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and treated as if converted into that number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to (i) the Stated Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designations of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock) per share plus any unpaid dividends, multiplied by 1.25, divided by (ii) 80% of the average volume weighted average price of the Company Common Stock during the five trading day period immediately prior to the Closing Date. The shares of Company Common Stock that would have been due to the holder as a result of the conversion of such shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock shall be treated as issued to Lender and converted, as of the Effective Time, into the right to receive (y) the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration plus (z) the Additional Per Share Merger Consideration, if any, at the time and subject to the contingencies set forth in Section 3.7 of the Merger Agreement. |
| (b) | Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 3(a), in addition to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3(a), Lender shall be entitled to receive, upon the Effective Time, an additional number of Closing Merger Consideration Shares as are necessary to ensure that the per-share value of the shares of Parent Common Stock that Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3(a) is not less than the per-share value (based on the effective purchase price) of the aggregate shares of Parent Common Stock then held by any Parent Stockholder (as defined in the Merger Agreement) after taking into account any newly-issued shares of Parent Common Stock that such Parent Stockholder acquires directly from Parent subsequent to the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the Closing. For clarification, any calculation pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall not reference, include, or consider the issuance or other status of the Sponsor Forfeiture Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement). |
4. Senior Note. The Senior Note shall be amended and restated in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A and issued by Borrower to Lender concurrent with the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
5. August Note. The August Note shall be amended and restated in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B and issued by Borrower to Lender concurrent with the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

6. Series A Preferred Stock. Borrower hereby represents, warrants and covenants that the shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Borrower, par value $0.0001 per share, outstanding as of immediately before the Effective Time will, at the Effective Time, be cancelled and retired without any conversion thereof and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.
7. Series F Preferred Stock. Borrower hereby represents, warrants, and covenants that the shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock of Borrower, par value $0.0001 per share, outstanding as of immediately before the Effective Time will convert, in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, into no more than 25% of the Closing Merger Consideration Shares issuable on the Closing Date.
