AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

KATMANDU COLLECTIONS, LLLP

 

FALCONS BEYOND GLOBAL, LLC

 

AND

 

FALCONS BEYOND GLOBAL, INC.

 

This Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), dated June 23, 2023, hereby amends that certain Credit Agreement between Infinite Acquisitions, LLLP (f/k/a Katmandu Collections, LLLP), a Nevada limited liability limited partnership (“Lender”), and Falcons Beyond Global, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Borrower”), dated as of December 30, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”). Falcon’s Beyond Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FBG”), is hereby joined as a party hereto. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

 

WHEREAS, Borrower and Lender have determined to enter into the Amendment to provide Lender with the right to transfer all or a portion of the amounts owed by Borrower to Lender to the equity holders of Lender (the “Transferred Debt”), at the Lender’s sole discretion;

 

WHEREAS, Borrower and Lender have agreed that, since Borrower and FBG are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Borrower, FBG and the other parties thereto (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), in the event the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated, the holders of the Transferred Debt shall have the right to exchange such Transferred Debt for shares of preferred stock of FBG, which exchange shall, in the judgment of Borrower, Lender and FBG, be advantageous to all parties, including the former holders of the Transferred Debt;

 

Now therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged:

 

Each of Lender, Borrower and FBG hereby agree to add the following sections to the Credit Agreement:

 

“16. Transferability and Conversion.

 

(a) Borrower and Lender agree that Lender, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to transfer all or a portion of the amounts due hereunder from Borrower to Lender to the equity holders of Lender (any such transfer(s) are referred to herein as the “Debt Transfer(s),” all such transferred debt is referred to herein as the “Transferred Debt” and each equity holder is referred to herein as the “Debt Transferee”). Any Debt Transfer shall be effectuated by Lender to any recipient of such Debt Transfer by written notice of such transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, Lender shall not have the right to effectuate a Debt Transfer, except to the extent Lender has received from the applicable Debt Transferee a duly-executed IRS Form W-9 claiming a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding taxes in respect of payments under this Note.

 

 

 

 

(b) Intentionally omitted.

 

(c) Borrower, Lender and FBG further agree that each Debt Transferee shall have the right to cause FBG to exchange such Debt Transferee’s Transferred Debt for certain shares of Series A Preferred Stock of FBG (such preferred stock, the “FBG Preferred” and such exchange, the “FBG Preferred Exchange”) at the Acquisition Merger Closing under the Merger Agreement. The FBG Preferred Exchange shall be effectuated by the Debt Transferee entering into an exchange agreement with FBG (the “Exchange Agreement”) within 20 days after the Registration Statement (as defined in the Merger Agreement) is declared effective under the Securities Act (as defined in the Merger Agreement). Subject to Section 16(d), no FBG Preferred Exchange shall be effected for a Debt Transferee’s Transferred Debt unless such Debt Transferee makes the election to effect such FBG Preferred Exchange within 20 days after the Registration Statement is declared effective by executing the Exchange Agreement. Any FBG Preferred Exchanges shall occur with no further action required by any of the parties to the Exchange Agreement concurrently with the Acquisition Merger Closing under the Merger Agreement. A Form of the Exchange Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

(d) Borrower, Lender and FBG further agree that to the extent that Debt Transferees representing a majority of the outstanding amount of the Transferred Debt, in the aggregate, agree to exchange their Transferred Debt within 20 days after the Registration Statement (as defined in the Merger Agreement) is declared effective under the Securities Act, the remaining amount of Transferred Debt not exchanged shall be automatically exchanged for shares of FBG Preferred concurrently with the Acquisition Merger Closing under the Merger Agreement without any further action required by the remaining Debt Transferees and such remaining Debt Transferees shall be deemed to have entered into the Exchange Agreement.

 

(e) Borrower, Lender and FBG further agree that upon consummation of the exchange of the Transferred Debt pursuant to an Exchange Agreement, FBG shall contribute the Transferred Debt to the Borrower in exchange of the Borrower (i) issuing to FBG a number of Preferred Units (as defined in the Merger Agreement) equal to the number of Exchange Shares (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) issued upon the exchange of the Transferred Debt, and (ii) paying to FBG an amount of cash equal to the amount of cash paid by FBG as Accrued Interest (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) upon the exchange of the Transferred Debt.

 

(f) Lender shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of any assignee or transferee of all or any portion of the Note, and the commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Note owing to, each such assignee or transferee pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Credit Agreement, the entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Lender and each assignee and transferee shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any assignee or transferee at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to Lender.

 

17. Withholding.

 

Any and all payments by the Borrower under this Note shall be made without deduction or withholding for any, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any tax from any payment, as determined in good faith by the Borrower, then (i) the Borrower shall make such deduction or withholding, (ii) the Borrower shall notify the Lender of the payment of such deduction or withholding, and (iii) any amounts so deducted or withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Note as having been paid to the Lender. On or before the date of the first payment hereunder (and thereafter (A) following any Debt Transfer made in accordance with Section 16, or (B) if reasonably requested by the Borrower), the Lender shall have delivered a duly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 to the Borrower, together with any with any attachments or certifications required in connection therewith, claiming a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding taxes in respect of payments under this Note. The Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Issuer in writing of its legal inability to do so.”

 

Other than as specifically set forth herein, no other terms of the Credit Agreement are modified by this Amendment and all other such terms shall remain in full force and effect.
