4.    Addition of Section 6.22. Section 6.22 is hereby added to the Exchange Agreement as follows:

 

“6.22     Evtec Warrant Procedures. If any Evtec Warrants are to be issued prior to the Closing, the board of directors of Evtec (and, in the case of the matters described in Sections 6.22(b) to (fe) below, the board of directors of BLBX) shall have adopted appropriate resolutions and taken all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide for the following matters and actions relating to any such Evtec Warrants.

 

(a)         The board of directors of Evtec shall grant each Evtec Warrant in form and substance satisfactory to BLBX.

 

(b)         If any Evtec Warrants are outstanding as of the date of Closing, the board of directors of BLBX shall (conditional upon Closing and effective immediately after the Closing) grant to each holder of Evtec Warrants a replacement warrant on the basis described in this Section 6.22 (a “Replacement Warrant”).

 

(c)         Each Replacement Warrant shall be a warrant to purchase shares of BLBX Common Stock.

 

(d)         Each Replacement Warrant shall be granted in consideration of the holder of the Evtec Warrant that it is intended to replace the original Evtec Warrant (the “Original Warrant”) releasing that Original Warrant in full pursuant to the Replacement Warrant .

 

(e)         The aggregate exercise price payable to exercise (in full) each Replacement Warrant shall be the same as the aggregate exercise price payable to exercise (in full) the Original Warrant that it replaces; provided, however, that the exercise price with respect to a Replacement Warrant may be adjusted to the extent that excess of the aggregate fair market value of the shares of BLBX Common Stock subject to the Replacement Warrant immediately after the Closing over the aggregate exercise price of such Replacement Warrant exceeds the excess of aggregate fair market value of all shares subject to the Original Warrant immediately before the Closing over the aggregate price of such Original Warrant.

 

(f)         The number of shares of BLBX Common Stock issuable on exercise (in full) of each Replacement Warrant shall be calculated by applying the Exchange Ratio to the number of Evtec Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise (in full) of the Original Warrant that it replaces, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of BLBX Common Stock. All Replacement Warrants shall (i) be on the same terms and conditions as with respect to the Original Warrant, except to the extent such terms are rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) not give the holders of Replacement Warrants additional benefits that the holder did not have under the Original Warrant.

 

(g)         Promptly after Closing, BLBX shall notify all holders of Evtec Warrants in writing that their Evtec Warrants have been exchanged for Replacement Warrants on the basis described in this Section 6.22. Such exchange of Evtec Warrants for Replacement Warrants shall be made in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and Evtec hereby indemnifies BLBX and its Representatives from and against all Liabilities that result from a failure of Evtec to comply with applicable Legal Requirements in connection therewith.

 

(h)         From and after the Closing, Evtec shall cause BLBX to take further action as may be required to effect the transactions specified in this Section 6.22.

5.    Exhibit A Amendments. The definitions of “End Date” and “Exchange Ratio” in Exhibit A of the Exchange Agreement are hereby deleted and respectively replaced in their entirety as follows:

 

End Date” means July 31, 2024.

 

Exchange Ratio” means as of July 1, 2024, 294.14 shares of BLBX Common Stock for each Evtec Ordinary Share, which shall be subject to adjustment in the event that Evtec issues any share capital between the date of the Agreement and Closing as follows: At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, BLBX shall calculate the total number of issued and outstanding shares of BLBX Common Stock, which shall equal 29.4% of the total post-Closing issued and outstanding shares of BLBX Common Stock, and the Acquisition Consideration shall be adjusted to equal the total number of shares that would equal 70.6% of the total outstanding shares of BLBX Common Stock post-Closing. The aggregate Acquisition Consideration issuable in exchange for Evtec Ordinary Shares will be divided by the outstanding number of Ordinary Shares to arrive at the adjusted Exchange Ratio for Closing. In the event that Evtec raises over $5,000,000 from June 30, 2023 to Closing, the amount of capital raised in excess of $5,000,000 shall dilute Evtec and BLBX on a pro rata basis provided however any capital raised in excess of $5,000,000 shall require approval from BLBX (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).”
