NOTE CONVERSION AGREEMENT

 

This NOTE CONVERSION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of September 12, 2024 by and between ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Sree Nalla, an individual (the “Holder”).

 

R E C I T A L S

 

WHEREAS, the Company issued to the Holder a promissory note in the aggregate principal and accrued interest amount of $378,750, dated May 05, 2023 (the “Note”);

 

WHEREAS, following the consummation of the Company’s business combination, the Holder desires to convert all of the amounts due under the Note into shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at a price of $2.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”);

 

WHEREAS, the Holder acknowledges that this Agreement is one of a series of substantially similar agreements (the “Other Conversion Agreements”) with other holders of certain outstanding debt instruments (collectively, the “Company Debt Instruments”) and notes (collectively, the “Other Company Notes”) of the Company (such other holders, referred to herein as the “Other Debt Holders”); and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Other Conversion Agreements, the Other Debt Holders have agreed to convert all amounts due and outstanding under such Company Debt Instruments and Other Company Notes on substantially similar terms as provided to the Holder herein with respect to the Note.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1.              Conversion of Notes into the Shares. The Company and the Holder acknowledge, agree, represent, warrant and covenant to each other as follows:

 

(a)             The Note is hereby amended to provide for the immediate conversion of all amounts due under the Note.

 

(b)            All amounts due under the Note shall be converted into 189,375 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”). Promptly following the date hereof, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates evidencing the issuance of the Conversion Shares or shall cause the Company’s transfer agent to deliver to the Holder a statement evidencing the book-entry position for the Conversion Shares in the Holder’s name.

 

 

 

(c)             Except as provided in this Agreement, all amounts due under the Note shall be fully and wholly satisfied and extinguished, and the Note shall be canceled and of no further force or effect, and neither Holder, nor any person or entity claiming under, through or by right of Holder, nor any successor, assignee or other party, shall make any further claim against the Company relating to or arising out of the Note. A failme by Holder to deliver the Note to the Company on or after the date of this Agreement shall not give the Holder, or any person or entity claiming under, through or by right of Holder, nor any successor, assignee or other party, any rights therein or thereto, and Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and their respective employees, officers, directors and agents, from any and all losses which arise directly or indirectly as a result of Holder’s breach of the representations made in this Agreement and/or a failure to deliver the original Note to the Company which results in claims made therein, thereto or thereunder.

 

(d)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Holder shall not attempt to convert any portion of the Note and the Company shall not issue to the Holder any shares of Common Stock upon an attempted conversion of the Note pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent, after giving effect to such issuance, the Holder (together, in aggregate with the Other Debt Holders with respect to an attempted conversion of the Company Debt Instruments and the Other Company Notes pursuant to the Other Conversion Agreements), would (i) beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance (the “Maximum Aggregate Ownership Amount”) or (ii) control in excess of 19.99% of the total voting power of the Company’s securities outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance that are entitled to vote on a matter being voted on by holders of the Common Stock (the “Maximum Aggregate Voting Amount”), unless and until the Company obtains stockholder approval permitting such issuance in accordance with applicable rules of the NASDAQ (or any other applicable national securities exchange) (“Stockholder Approval”). For purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this paragraph, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be, filed with the SEC, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) business days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. If on any attempted conversion of the Note, as provided herein, the resulting issuance of Conversion Shares would result in the Holder, together with the Other Debt Holders with respect to any attempted conversion of the Company Debt Instruments and Other Company Notes, in aggregate, exceeding the Maximum Aggregate Ownership Amount or the Maximum Aggregate Voting Amount and the Company shall not have previously obtained Stockholder Approval at the time of such conversion, then the Company shall only issue to the Holder a pro-rata portion of such number of Shares as may be issued to the Holder and the Other Debt Holders, in aggregate, below the Maximum Aggregate Ownership Amount or Maximum Aggregate Voting Amount, as the case may be, until such time as the Company obtains the Stockholder Approval.

2.             Share Reset. The number of Conversion Shares, as provided in Section 1(b), shall be subject to a one-time adjustment as follows:

 

(a)            Definitions:

 

(i)               “Reset Date” means the date that is the earlier of (A) the date that is six months from the date hereof, or (B) the date that a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the Conversion Shares for resale, is declared effective.

 

(ii)              “Reset Price” means, with respect to one share of Common Stock, the greater of (A) the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the principal market for the Common Stock during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time and ending at 4:00:00 p.m. New York time over the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the Reset Date and (B) $1.25 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassification, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events occurring after the date hereof).

 

(b)            On the Reset Date, if the Reset Price is less than $2. 00 per share, then the Company shall issue to the Holder an additional number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product of (A) the Conversion Price less the Reset Price and (B) the Conversion Share amount by (ii) the Reset Price (such additional shares, the “Reset Shares” and together with the Conversion Shares, the “Shares”). Promptly following the Reset Date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates evidencing the issuance of the Reset Shares or shall cause the Company’s transfer agent to deliver to the Holder a statement evidencing the book-entry position for the Reset Shares in the Holder’s name.

 

3.              Registration Rights.

(c)            The Holder is acquiring the Shares for investment for the Holder’s own account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof: and the Holder has no present intention of selling or distributing the Shares. The Holder understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act’’), and are being issued to the Holder by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act.

(ii)               Stop Order. The Holder further acknowledges that the Company reserves the right to place a stop order against the instruments representing the Shares and to refuse to effect any transfers thereof in the absence of an effective registration statement with respect to the Shares or in the absence of an opinion of counsel to the Company that such transfer is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws.

Exhibit 10.2

 

NOTE AND PAYABLE CONVERSION AGREEMENT

 

This NOTE AND PAYABLE CONVERSION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of September 24, 2024 by and between ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and IT Corpz, Inc, a Texas corporation (the “Holder”).

 

R E C I T A L S

 

WHEREAS, the Company issued to the Holder promissory notes and has outstanding payable as in Exhibit A in the aggregate settlement amount of $539,295.71 (the “Note”);

 

WHEREAS, following the consummation of the Company’s business combination, the Holder desires to convert all of the amounts due under the Note into shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at a price of $2.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”);

 

WHEREAS, the Holder acknowledges that this Agreement is one of a series of substantially similar agreements (the “Other Conversion Agreements”) with other holders of certain outstanding debt instruments (collectively, the “Company Debt Instruments”) and notes (collectively, the “Other Company Notes”) of the Company (such other holders, referred to herein as the “Other Debt Holders”); and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Other Conversion Agreements, the Other Debt Holders have agreed to convert all amounts due and outstanding under such Company Debt Instruments and Other Company Notes on substantially similar terms as provided to the Holder herein with respect to the Note.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Conversion of Notes into the Shares. The Company and the Holder acknowledge, agree, represent, warrant and covenant to each other as follows:

 

(a)            The Note is hereby amended to provide for the immediate conversion of all amounts due under the Note.

 

(b)            All amounts due under the Note shall be converted into 262,080 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”). Promptly following the date hereof, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates evidencing the issuance of the Conversion Shares or shall cause the Company’s transfer agent to deliver to the Holder a statement evidencing the book-entry position for the Conversion Shares in the Holder’s name.

 

 


 

(c)            Except as provided in this Agreement, all amounts due under the Note shall be fully and wholly satisfied and extinguished, and the Note shall be canceled and of no further force or effect, and neither Holder, nor any person or entity claiming under, through or by right of Holder, nor any successor, assignee or other party, shall make any further claim against the Company relating to or arising out of the Note. A failure by Holder to deliver the Note to the Company on or after the date of this Agreement shall not give the Holder, or any person or entity claiming under, through or by right of Holder, nor any successor, assignee or other party, any rights therein or thereto, and Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and their respective employees, officers, directors and agents, from any and all losses which arise directly or indirectly as a result of Holder’s breach of the representations made in this Agreement and/or a failure to deliver the original Note to the Company which results in claims made therein, thereto or thereunder.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Holder shall not attempt to convert any portion of the Note and the Company shall not issue to the Holder any shares of Common Stock upon an attempted conversion of the Note pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent, after giving effect to such issuance, the Holder (together, in aggregate with the Other Debt Holders with respect to an attempted conversion of the Company Debt Instruments and the Other Company Notes pursuant to the Other Conversion Agreements), would (i) beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance (the “Maximum Aggregate Ownership Amount”) or (ii) control in excess of 19.99% of the total voting power of the Company's securities outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance that are entitled to vote on a matter being voted on by holders of the Common Stock (the “Maximum Aggregate Voting Amount”), unless and until the Company obtains stockholder approval permitting such issuance in accordance with applicable rules of the NASDAQ (or any other applicable national securities exchange) (“Stockholder Approval”). For purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this paragraph, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be, filed with the SEC, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Company's transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) business days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. If on any attempted conversion of the Note, as provided herein, the resulting issuance of Conversion Shares would result in the Holder, together with the Other Debt Holders with respect to any attempted conversion of the Company Debt Instruments and Other Company Notes, in aggregate, exceeding the Maximum Aggregate Ownership Amount or the Maximum Aggregate Voting Amount and the Company shall not have previously obtained Stockholder Approval at the time of such conversion, then the Company shall only issue to the Holder a pro-rata portion of such number of Shares as may be issued to the Holder and the Other Debt Holders, in aggregate, below the Maximum Aggregate Ownership Amount or Maximum Aggregate Voting Amount, as the case may be, until such time as the Company obtains the Stockholder Approval.

2.             Share Reset. The number of Conversion Shares, as provided in Section 1(b), shall be subject to a one-time adjustment as follows:

 

(a)           Definitions:

 

(i)            “Reset Date” means the date that is the earlier of (A) the date that is six months from the date hereof, or (B) the date that a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the Conversion Shares for resale, is declared effective.

 

(ii)           “Reset Price” means, with respect to one share of Common Stock, the greater of (A) the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the principal market for the Common Stock during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time and ending at 4:00:00 p.m. New York time over the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the Reset Date and (B) $1.25 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassification, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events occurring after the date hereof).

 

(b)           On the Reset Date, if the Reset Price is less than $2.00 per share, then the Company shall issue to the Holder an additional number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product of (A) the Conversion Price less the Reset Price and (B) the Conversion Share amount by (ii) the Reset Price (such additional shares, the “Reset Shares” and together with the Conversion Shares, the “Shares”). Promptly following the Reset Date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates evidencing the issuance of the Reset Shares or shall cause the Company’s transfer agent to deliver to the Holder a statement evidencing the book-entry position for the Reset Shares in the Holder’s name.

 

3.             Registration Rights. The Company represents, warrants and agrees that with respect to the Shares, the Holder will have the following registration rights: (i) one demand registration of the sale of the Shares at the Company’s expense, and (ii) unlimited “piggyback” registration rights for a period of five (5) years after the closing of the Company’s initial business combination at the Company’s expense.

(c)            The Holder is acquiring the Shares for investment for the Holder’s own account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and the Holder has no present intention of selling or distributing the Shares. The Holder understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are being issued to the Holder by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act. The Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

(d)           Restrictions on Resale.

(ii)            Stop Order. The Holder further acknowledges that the Company reserves the right to place a stop order against the instruments representing the Shares and to refuse to effect any transfers thereof in the absence of an effective registration statement with respect to the Shares or in the absence of an opinion of counsel to the Company that such transfer is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws.

 

5.             Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder as follows:

 

(a)            The Company has full corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement constitutes the Company’s valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

(b)            The issuance of the Shares has been duly authorized by the Company and the Shares, when issued upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

6.             General.

 

(a)            The parties agree that if changes to any terms of this Agreement are necessary to comply with applicable federal securities laws or regulations, or requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC, or other national securities exchange, or over the counter market on which the Common Stock of the Corporation is listed, quoted and/or traded, the parties hereby agree to negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement accordingly to be in compliance with such laws and regulations.

EXHIBIT I

 

Advisory Fee: US $1,500,000 the Advisory Fee (“Advisory Fee”) shall be paid in cash or stock at the discretion of the company and is due and payable upon execution of this letter agreement (“Date of Engagement”). If the Company chooses to pay the Advisory Fee in stock, it may be paid in common shares of the Company (the “CMA Shares” and each common share, a “Common Share”) at a price of US$10.00 per share. Roth shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell any or all of the Shares (as defined below) on the earlier of: (a) the date that a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registering the resale in the United States of the CMA Shares (plus a good faith estimate of the Additional Shares (as defined below and collectively with the CMA Shares, the “Shares”)) is declared effective, (b) all of the Shares may be sold in the United States pursuant to Rule 144 under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), without any volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, and (c) all of the Shares may be sold in the United States pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act (and the Company’s counsel has provided an opinion to Roth that resales may occur). On the earlier of the date that is six months from the Date of Engagement and the date that a Registration Statement is filed with the SEC registering the resale of the CMA Shares in the United States is declared effective (the “Reset Date”), if the five (5) daily volume weighted average price of the Common Shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the Reset Date (such price, the “Reset Price”) on the primary trading market for the Common Shares (“Trading Market”), is less than US$10.00 per share (subject to a US$2.50 per share floor), then within 2 business days of the Reset Date, the Company shall, in consideration of Services provided by Roth to the Company, issue to Roth an additional number of Common Shares (the “Additional Shares”) equal to (A) the number obtained by dividing (i) the product of the number of CMA Shares held by Roth as of the Reset Date and US$10.00 by (ii) the Reset Price, less (B) the number of CMA Shares. As soon as practicable (and in any event within 45 calendar days from the Date of Engagement), the Company shall file the Registration Statement providing for the resale in the United States by Roth of the Shares (which shall provide a good faith estimate of Additional Shares to be issued). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practical thereafter and in any event within 60 days following the Date of Engagement and to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times until Roth no longer owns any Shares. In the event that the Registration Statement does not register all of the Shares (notwithstanding the Company’s good faith estimates to register all Shares), the Company shall file an additional Registration Statement registering the balance of the Shares within 10 days and cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practical thereafter and maintain the effectiveness of such Registration Statement until Roth long longer holds any Shares.

 

 


 

ADDENDUM A

 

Indemnification Provisions

 

CNTM agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Roth and its affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Roth and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions, including shareholder actions, in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under any applicable federal or state law, or otherwise, which are related to or result from the performance by Roth of the services contemplated by or the engagement of Roth pursuant to this Agreement and will promptly reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense arising from any threatened or pending claim, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party and whether or not such claim, action or proceeding is initiated or brought by CNTM. CNTM will not be liable to any Indemnified Party under the foregoing indemnification and reimbursement provisions (i) for any settlement by an Indemnified Party effected without its prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld); or (ii) to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the Indemnified Party willful misconduct or gross negligence. CNTM also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to CNTM or its security holders or creditors related to or arising out of the engagement of Roth pursuant to, or the performance by Roth of the services contemplated by, this Agreement except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from Roth’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

 

Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any intention or threat to commence an action, suit or proceeding or notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against CNTM pursuant hereto, promptly notify CNTM in writing of the same. Any failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give the notice referred to in this paragraph shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s right to be indemnified hereunder, except to the extent that such failure or delay causes actual material harm to CNTM, or materially prejudices its ability to defend such action, suit or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party notifies CNTM of the commencement thereof, CNTM may elect to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and an Indemnified Party may employ counsel to participate in the defense of any such action provided, that the employment of such counsel shall be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense, unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by CNTM, (ii) the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party) that there are legal defenses available to the Indemnification Party that are not available to CNTM, or that there exists a conflict or potential conflict of interest (based upon advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party) between the Indemnified Party and CNTM that makes it impossible or inadvisable for counsel to CNTM to conduct the defense of both parties (in which case CNTM will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), or (iii) CNTM has not in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the action, suit or proceeding, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of CNTM; provided, further, that in no event shall CNTM be required to pay fees and expenses for more than one firm of attorneys (and local counsel) representing Indemnified Parties.

 

 


 

If the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is for any reason held unenforceable by an Indemnified Party, CNTM agrees to contribute to the losses, claims, damages and liabilities for which such indemnification is held unenforceable (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to CNTM, on the one hand, and Roth on the other hand or, (ii) if (but only if) the allocation provided for in clause (i) is for any reason unenforceable, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of CNTM, on the one hand and Roth, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. CNTM agrees that for the purposes of this paragraph the relative benefits to CNTM and Roth shall be deemed to be in the same proportion that the total value received or contemplated to be received by CNTM bear to the fees paid or to be paid to Roth under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CNTM expressly agrees that Roth shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which fees paid to Roth hereunder (excluding reimbursable expenses), exceeds the amount of any damages which Roth has otherwise been required to pay.

 

CNTM agrees that without Roth’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement (whether or not Roth or any other Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding.

 

In the event that an Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against CNTM in which such Indemnified Party is not named as a defendant, CNTM agrees to promptly reimburse Roth on a monthly basis for all expenses incurred by it in connection with such Indemnified Party’s appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of its legal counsel.

 

If multiple claims are brought with respect to at least one of which indemnification is permitted under applicable law and provided for under this Agreement, CNTM agrees that any judgment or arbitration award shall be conclusively deemed to be based on claims as to which indemnification is permitted and provided for, except to the extent the judgment or arbitration award expressly states that it, or any portion thereof, is based solely on a claim as to which indemnification is not available.

WHEREAS, ConnectM’s and MCAC’s breach of the Advisory Agreement continues unabated; and

 

WHEREAS, due to ConnectM’s and MCAC’ breach Benjamin has also suffered additional damages, cost and expense; and

 

WHEREAS. Benjamin has commenced a lawsuit against the ConnectM Parties now pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, bearing Index No. 157042//2024 (the “Litigation”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to resolve the Litigation on the terms and conditions set forth in this Settlement Agreement;

 

NOW THEREFORE, the Parties mutually agree as follows:

 

1. Effectiveness. This Settlement Agreement shall be effective immediately but shall be null and void ab initio unless by or before October 2, 2024, Benjamin receives the “Initial Payment” of $100,000 provided for in Section 3a. and the Stock Consideration set forth in Section 4 below with that date being time of the essence.
