Amendment to Promissory Notes

As previously announced, on February 21, 2023, Unique Logistics International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Unique” or the “Company”), issued to Unique Logistics Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“ULHL”), three promissory notes, as amended, with an original principal amount of (i) $2,500,000 (the “Net Assets Note”), (ii) $2,000,000 (the “Second Net Assets Note”), and (iii) $2,000,000 (the “Taiwan Note”), respectively.

On October 3, 2023, the Company and ULHL agreed to cancel, replace and supersede the Net Assets Note and the Taiwan Note, each in their entirety, in favor of a newly issued promissory note as of the same date (the “New Note”). The New Note includes the remaining balances of the Net Assets Note and the Taiwan Note, with an additional loan in the principal amount of $1,100,000 for an aggregate principal amount of $4,500,000. The New Note matures on March 31, 2025, and has an interest rate of 15% per annum.

On October 9, 2023, the Company amended the Second Net Assets Note (the “Amended Second Net Assets Note” together with the New Note, the “Notes”), which extended the maturity date thereof from February 21, 2024, to March 31, 2025. The Amended Second Net Assets Note includes simple interest that shall begin to accrue on February 21, 2024, at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum until such time as the principal amount is paid in full.

The foregoing descriptions of the New Note and the Amended Second Net Assets Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference to the Notes, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Each of the Maker and the Noteholder may be referred to herein as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties.”

Reference is hereby made to:

(a) the Promissory Note dated February 21, 2023, issued by the Maker in favor of ULHL in the original principal amount of $2,500,000 (the “Net Assets Note”), as amended, of which $1,400,000 principal amount remains outstanding as of the date hereof;

(b) the Promissory Note dated February 21, 2023, issued by the Maker in favor of ULHL in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Taiwan Note”), as amended, all of which principal amount remains outstanding as of the date hereof; and

(c) a loan in the principal amount of $1,100,000 being extended by ULHL to the Maker concurrent herewith (the “Loan”).

This Note cancels, replaces and supersedes the Net Assets Note and the Taiwan Note, each in their entirety, and includes and evidences the extension of the Loan, equal in the aggregate to the Principal Amount.

1.2 Optional Prepayment. The Maker, in its sole discretion, may prepay the Principal Amount in whole or in part at any time or from time to time prior to the Maturity Date without penalty or premium.

1.3 No Dividends by Subsidiaries; Exception. From the date hereof, for so long as any of the Principal Amount hereunder remains outstanding, the Maker agrees, as a shareholder of the ULHL Subsidiaries, that it will not vote in favor of or cause there to be declared any dividend in or by any of the ULHL Subsidiaries, other than dividends payable to the Buyer to be used for repayment of amounts due to ULHL under this Note or any other note issued or issuable by the Maker in favor of ULHL under the Purchase Agreement.

2. Interest. The Principal Amount outstanding hereunder shall bear simple interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”) from the date hereof until such time as the Principal Amount is paid in full (the “Interest”).
