WHEREAS, GPL sent to Lytus a notice of an Event of Default on January 12, 2022, as a result of the maturity date of the Note (the “Maturity Date”) having passed, and there having occurred no Qualified IPO prior to such Maturity Date or repayment of the Note in accordance with its terms;
WHEREAS, on February 1, 2022, GPL and Lytus entered into that certain Maturity Date Extension, Amendment to Loan Documents and Reaffirmation Agreement (the “Prior Amendment”), which extended the Maturity Date of the Note to June 1, 2022;
WHEREAS, the Qualified IPO failed to occur prior to the Maturity Date as extended by the Prior Amendment;
WHEREAS, Lytus now proposes to cure the additional Event of Default by further modifying the Loan Documents to further extend the Maturity Date, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Amendment; and
WHEREAS, GPL and Lytus agree to extend the maturity date of the Note from June 1, 2022 to June 17, 2022, as provided herein.
AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Certain Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Note.
2. Consideration for Extension and Amendment to Loan Documents.
As a cure for its default and in consideration for the further extension of the Maturity Date, Lytus agrees that in addition to the $250,000 in cash owing under the Prior Amendment, Lytus shall pay an additional $100,000 in cash to GPL. Such amounts will be owing regardless of whether or not the Qualified IPO occurs by the Maturity Date as extended herein. When and if the Qualified IPO occurs, Lytus will utilize a portion of the proceeds thereto to pay such amounts. For the avoidance of doubt, such aggregate $350,000 owing to GPL is in addition to any other amounts owing under the Note.
3. Amendment to Note.
| (a) | The Maturity Date of the Note shall be the earlier of (i) June 17, 2022 , or (ii) a Qualified IPO, as extended pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.7 of the Note, or such earlier date resulting from acceleration of the Loan by GPL pursuant to the terms of the Note, including as a result of an Event of Default. |
| (b) | The definition of the “Qualified IPO” in Section 5 of the Note is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following |
A “Qualified IPO” shall mean the closing after the date hereof of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of shares of Common Shares of the Maker that results in the Common Shares being traded on a U.S. national securities exchange.

(c) there are no judicial, administrative actions, investigations, suits or other proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting Lytus which, if adversely determined, could have a material adverse effect on it;
(d) each of the representations and warranties made by Lytus herein is true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof as if made on and as of such date and will survive the execution and delivery of and consummation of all transactions under this Amendment; and
(e) no other Event of Default is continuing, or will result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment.
6. Costs and Expenses. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery hereof, Lytus shall pay, or cause to be paid, all reasonable costs and expenses of GPL (a) incident to the preparation and execution of this Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees and expenses, and (b) all additional unpaid attorney’s fees and expenses relating to GPL’s administration of the Loan.
7. Limited Effect.
(a) Except as expressly modified hereby, all of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents are and shall be and remain in full force and effect.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary, the provisions in this Amendment shall apply from and after the date hereof until such time as the Loan is indefeasibly paid in full or the same is further modified pursuant to the terms of this Amendment.

11. No Partnership, Joint Venture or Agency. This Amendment shall not in any respect be interpreted, deemed or construed as making GPL a partner or joint venturer with Lytus or any one or more of them, nor shall it be interpreted, deemed or construed as making GPL the agent or representative of Lytus. Lytus agrees not to make any contrary assertion, contention, claim or counterclaim in any action, suit, or other legal proceeding involving GPL. In no event shall GPL be liable for debts or claims accruing or arising against Lytus.
12. No Fiduciary Relationship. Neither the terms, covenants and conditions of this Amendment, nor the entering into of this Amendment, shall, in and of itself, create any fiduciary or special relationship between GPL, on the one hand, and Lytus, on the other hand.
13. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the obligations of Lytus set forth herein.
14. Independent Counsel. Each Party hereto has been represented by independent legal counsel of its choice in connection with this Amendment, has reviewed this Amendment with such counsel, understands the agreements contained herein and has agreed to execute and deliver this Amendment as its own free act and deed without duress, and that this Amendment shall not be subject to the principle of construing its meaning against the party which drafted same.

18. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Amendment.
