Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously reported by Vinco Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”), (i) pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (“July SPA”) dated as of July 22, 2021 by and between the Company and an accredited institutional investor (the “Holder), the Company sold to the Holder a Senior Secured Convertible Note in the aggregate principal amount of $120,000,000, of which an aggregate amount of $80,000,000 remains outstanding (the “Note”) and warrants representing the right to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”).

On August 15, 2022, the Holder submitted an Event of Default Redemption Notice to the Company in accordance with the terms of Section 4 of the Note in light of the Event of Default caused as a result of the Common Stock’s suspension from trading on an Eligible Market for five (5) consecutive Trading Days (the “Specified Event of Default”).

On August 18, 2022, the Company and the Holder entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) whereby the parties agreed, among other things: (i) that the Company shall repurchase (the “Company Repurchase”) $55,000,000 of the Principal Amount of the Note then outstanding (the “Company Repurchase Amount”) for $65,000,000 (the “Company Repurchase Price”), (ii) that such repayment shall be deemed voluntary, (iii) that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1 of the Note, but subject to Section 3(d) of the Note, until the Company Repurchase Amount is paid in full, the Company Repurchase Amount (together with any Interest and Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3 of the Note, (iv) that the release shall be permitted of up to $70,000,000 from the Control Account; provided that $65,000,000 of such amount is wired directly from the Control Account to the Holder as payment of the Company Repurchase Price (the “Cash Release”), (v) that pursuant to Section 7(d) of the Note, the Conversion Price of the Note immediately following the Company Repurchase shall be voluntarily and irrevocably adjusted to equal $1.00, subject to further adjustments as provided in the Note, (vi) that the Company acknowledges that the Specified Event of Default has occurred and that the Specified Event of Default would permit the Holder to exercise certain specified rights (the “Remedies”), (vii) that, notwithstanding the occurrence of the Specified Event of Default, the Holder agrees to forbear from exercising any of the Remedies solely with respect to the Specified Event of Default effective only upon satisfaction in full of certain conditions precedent on or before August 20, 2022, unless waived in writing by the Holder (the first date upon which all such conditions have been satisfied or waived, as the case may be, by the Holder being referred to herein as the “Effective Date”) and (viii) that the Company shall file a current report on Form 8-K (the “8-K Filing”) on or before 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on August 18, 2022.

The Purchase Agreement includes representations, warranties and covenants, and conditions to closing, expense and reimbursement obligations and termination provisions.

Exhibit 10.1

PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of August 18, 2022, is made by and between Vinco Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and the investor listed on the signature page attached hereto (the “Holder”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Note (as defined below).

A.    Pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “SPA”) dated as of July 22, 2021 by and among the Company, ZASH Global Media and Entertainment Corporation, ZVV Media Partners, LLC and the Holder, the Company sold to the Holder a Senior Secured Convertible Note in an aggregate principal amount of $120,000,000, of which an aggregate principal amount of $79,990,000 remains outstanding as of the date hereof (the “Note”) and warrants representing the right to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”).

B.     On August 15, 2022, the Holder submitted an Event of Default Redemption Notice to the Company in accordance with the terms of Section 4 of the Note.in light of the Event of Default caused as a result of the Common Stock’s suspension from trading on an Eligible Market for five (5) consecutive Trading Days (the “Specified Event of Default”).

C.     ..The Company and the Holder have agreed that the Company will purchase a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Note as set forth below.

D.    In connection with such repurchase, the Company has requested that the Holder forbear from exercising certain of its rights and remedies relating to the Specified Event of Default and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Purchase Agreement, the Holder is willing to forbear from exercising such rights relating to the Specified Event of Default.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing mutual premises and the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, and legal adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. REPURCHASE OF NOTE. The parties hereto hereby agree that on the date hereof, the Company shall repurchase (the “Company Repurchase”) $55,000,000 of the Principal amount of the Note then outstanding (the “Company Repurchase Amount”). The Company Repurchase Amount shall be repurchased by the Company for $65,000,000 (the “Company Repurchase Price”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to Holder’s wire instructions set forth on the Holder’s signature page attached hereto. To the extent the Company Repurchase made pursuant to this Section 1 is deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a prepayment of the Note by the Company, such repurchase shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1, but subject to Section 3(d) of the Note, until the Company Repurchase Amount is paid in full, the Company Repurchase Amount (together with any Interest and Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3 of the Note. The parties hereto agree that in the event the Company fails to repurchase any portion of the Note under this Section 1, the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder.

2. RELEASE FROM CONTROL ACCOUNT.

a. The Company shall be permitted to release up to $70,000,000 from the Control Account; provided that $65,000,000 of such amount is wired directly from the Control Account to the Holder as payment of the Company Repurchase Price (the “Company Cash Release”).

b. If the Holder converts $5,000,000 of the Principal amount of the Note after the date hereof, the Holder shall, provided there is not then an Event of Default or an event that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default and no material breach of any written agreement between the Company and the Holder has occurred, release from the Control Account to the Company 50% of any additional Principal amount of the Note converted in excess of the initial $5,000,000 Principal amount converted after the date hereof.

3. AMENDMENT TO NOTE. Pursuant to Section 7(d) of the Note, as of the date of this Agreement, the Conversion Price of the Note shall be voluntarily and irrevocably adjusted to equal $1.00, subject to further adjustments as provided in the Note.

4. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF EVENT OF DEFAULT. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Specified Event of Default has occurred and that the Specified Event of Default would permit the Holder to, among other things, (i) demand the Company make payment to the Holder of any amount due, or to become due, under the Notes, (ii) charge Interest at the Default Rate in accordance with the Notes, (iii) redeem the entire outstanding Conversion Amount of the Notes, (iv) commence any legal or other action to collect any or all of the amounts owed under the Notes from the Company or any Collateral, (v) exercise any secured creditor remedies that Holder may have, including, without limitation, by foreclosing or otherwise realizing upon any or all of the Collateral and or setting off and applying any deposits or other amounts or proceeds of Collateral to the payment of any or all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes, and (vi) take any other enforcement action or otherwise exercise any or all rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided for by any or all of the Documents or applicable law or equity (all of the foregoing, the “Remedies”).

5. FORBEARANCE, Notwithstanding the occurrence of the Specified Event of Default, the Holder hereby agrees to forbear from exercising any of the Remedies solely with respect to the Specified Event of Default effective only upon satisfaction in full of the following conditions precedent on or before August 19, 2022, unless waived in writing by the Holder (the first date upon which all such conditions have been satisfied or waived, as the case may be, by the Holder being referred to herein as the “Effective Date”):

a. The representations and warranties contained in this Purchase Agreement shall be correct on and as of the Effective Date as though made on and as of such date unless such representations or warranties are stated to relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such earlier date;

b. No default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Effective Date;

c. The Company shall reimburse the Holder for its reasonable legal fees and expenses actually incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby, by paying any such amount to Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the written instructions of Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP; and
