1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Existing Agreement.

2. Amendments to the Existing Agreement. As of the Effective Date (as defined in Section 3), the Existing Agreement is hereby amended or modified as follows:

(a) Section 1.1 “Terms of the Exchange” of the Existing Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Terms of the Exchange. At the Closing, the Member shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to the Parent its Membership Interests, representing all outstanding Membership Interests (which shall constitute all of the issued and outstanding membership interest of the Member), free and clear of all Liens, and, in exchange and consideration therefor, the Parent will transfer, convey, assign, and deliver an aggregate of Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of the Parent Preferred Stock and shares of the Parent Common Stock to the Member or to the Member’s designees in the amounts as set forth on Schedule 1.1. These amounts shall be adjusted, as necessary, to ensure that the Member and/or its designee(s) shall collectively hold no less than 80% of the Parent Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, immediately prior to closing and after giving effect to their issuance and any other issuances required, in connection with or, concurrently with the closing (the “Exchange Consideration”). The Parent Preferred Stock may only be converted to the extent that the Parent has adequate shares of un-reserved Parent Common Stock available for issuance.

(b) Section 9.3 of the Existing Agreement is hereby amended by inserting at the end of such Section the following new sub-sections:

“9.3(p): Waiver by Series A Preferred Stock Holders. Prior to or as of the Closing Date, the Parent shall have received an enforceable waiver of the Series A Preferred Stock holders that waives, declines or otherwise forgives any dividend rights and any rights or preferences to which the Series A Preferred Stock holders may be entitled after giving effect to the Exchange.”

“9.3(q): Cancellation or waiver of fundamental transaction cash payment terms. Prior to or as of the Closing Date, the Parent shall have obtained the cancellation or waiver, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, of all outstanding securities of the Parent that include fundamental transaction cash payment terms. Such cancellation or waiver shall be effective as of the Closing Date and shall include a release of all claims against the Parent related to such securities.”

“9.3(r) Settlement of all accounts. Prior to or as of the Closing Date, the Parent shall have either (i) paid in full all accounts payable and accrued expenses existing as of the Closing Date and payable in connection with the Closing (including the Parent’s legal fees in connection with the transactions set forth herein), or (ii) converted such accounts payable and accrued expenses into shares of common stock of the Parent.”

“9.3(s) Mandatory conversion of all accrued interest on outstanding note. Prior to or as of the Closing Date, the Parent shall have mandatorily converted all accrued interest on the DAF Note, into shares of common stock of the Parent.”

“9.3(t) Conversion of the DAF Note. Prior to or as of the Closing Date, the Parent shall have amended or supplemented the DAF Note in order to require automatic and mandatory conversion of all outstanding principal to Common Stock concurrently with the Closing.

(c) Section 10.1 of the Existing agreement is hereby amended by deleting the words “June 30, 2024” from the sentence “As used herein, the “Final Date” shall be June 30, 2024,” and substituting in lieu thereof the words “July 31, 2024”.

(d) The definition of “Exchange Consideration” now appearing in Exhibit A of the Existing Agreement, is hereby amended to substitute the definition as per Section 2(a) of this Amendment.

(e) Exhibit A of the Existing Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new definition in the appropriate alphabetical order:

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the amendments contained herein will not be construed as an amendment to or waiver of any other provision of the Existing Agreement or as a waiver of or consent to any further or future action on the part of either Party that would require the waiver or consent of the other Party. On and after the Effective Date, each reference in the Existing Agreement to “this Agreement,” “the Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein,” or words of like import, and each reference to the Existing Agreement in any other agreements, documents, or instruments executed and delivered pursuant to, or in connection with, the Existing Agreement, will mean and be a reference to the Existing Agreement as amended by this Amendment.
