Re:ATW Special Situations I LLC

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

As you are aware, ATW Special Situations I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “SPV”) managed by ATW Partners Opportunities Management, LLC (“ATW”), has entered into (i) a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of December 16, 2021 with CleanTech Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, “Cleantech”) and Nauticus Robotics, Inc., a Texas corporation (together with its successors and assigns, “Nauticus”) (as amended by that certain letter agreement dated as of January 31, 2022, by and among Cleantech, Nauticus and the SPV (the “January Letter Agreement”), and as further amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) and (ii) a letter agreement dated as of December 16, 2021 with Material Impact Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“MIF II”) (the “MIF II Letter Agreement”), providing that if the SPV consummates the secured convertible term loan investment in the Company (as defined in the MIF II Letter Agreement) (the “Investment”), MIF II will make a capital contribution of $5,000,000 to the SPV (the “MIF II Contribution”) to be invested by the SPV in the Investment. Capitalized terms used in this letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) but not defined shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

The parties hereto acknowledge (i) that under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in effect prior to the amendment thereto effected by the January Letter Agreement (the “Original Securities Purchase Agreement”), the SPV agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, to purchase a Debenture and an associated Warrant from Cleantech by the advance of a Subscription Amount in the amount of $32,300,000 and (ii) that pursuant to the January Letter Agreement, the SPV, Cleantech and Nauticus agreed that upon the receipt by the SPV of the MIF II Contribution, the Subscription Amount that the SPV had agreed to advance subject to the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement would automatically increase from $32,300,000 to $37,200,000 (the “SPV Automatic Increase Provision”), with the Principal Amount of the Debenture and the number of Warrant Shares initially issuable under the associated Warrant subscribed for by the SPV being increased accordingly to reflect the increased Subscription Amount, in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

Further, the parties hereto acknowledge that the SPV’s signature page to the Original Securities Purchase Agreement contained an incorrect formula for determining the Principal Amount of the Debenture to be subscribed for and that the correct formula for determining the Principal Amount is as set forth in the definition of “Principal Amount” as defined in the Original Securities Purchase Agreement, and desire to amend the SPV’s signature page to the Securities Purchase Agreement to reflect the correct formula for determining the Principal Amount of the Debenture to be subscribed for by the SPV.

 

 

 

 

Further, the parties hereto desire to amend the Securities Purchase Agreement such that (i) the Subscription Amount that the SPV is required to advance to Cleantech subject to the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement be reduced from $32,300,000 to $29,000,000, (ii) the Subscription Amount that the SPV is required to advance to Cleantech subject to the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall not be increased upon receipt of any capital contribution or other amount received by the SPV from MIF II as contemplated by the SPV Automatic Increase Provision of the January Letter Agreement, and (iii) the SPV Automatic Increase Provision shall have no force or effect, and instead MIF II shall be made a party to the Securities Purchase Agreement as a Purchaser and subscribe for Securities (including a Debenture and associated Warrant) pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement as amended hereby, by the advance by MIF II to Cleantech of a Subscription Amount in the amount of $5,000,000 (and accordingly, the parties hereto desire to make certain other amendments to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection therewith).

 

Further, the parties hereto acknowledge that the SPV and MIF II desire to terminate the MIF II Letter Agreement, along with any rights and obligations of MIF II and the SPV provided therein. For the avoidance of doubt, the SPV and MIF II acknowledge that they have mutually agreed to terminate the MIF Letter Agreement.

 

Further, the parties hereto acknowledge that The 2022 SLS Family Irrevocable Trust, a Florida Trust (“SLS Family Trust”) desires to become a party to the Securities Purchase Agreement as a Purchaser and subscribe for Securities (including a Debenture and associated Warrant) pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement as amended hereby, by the advance by SLS Family Trust to Cleantech of a Subscription Amount in the amount of $1,800,000, and accordingly, the parties hereto desire to make certain other amendments to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection therewith.

 

Further, the parties hereto desire to amend the definition of the term “Exempt Issuance” in the Securities Purchase Agreement to provide that the anti-dilution provisions of the Debentures and Warrants to be issued to the Purchasers under the Securities Purchase Agreement shall not be triggered by the sale and issuance by Cleantech, during the period beginning on the date of the consummation of the Merger and ending on the date that is one (1) year following the date of the consummation of the Merger, of shares of Common Stock with gross proceeds to the Company not to exceed $5,000,000 for an effective per share purchase price of such shares of Common Stock of not less than $10.00.

 

Further, the parties hereto desire to amend the form of Debenture attached as Exhibit A to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the form of Warrant attached as Exhibit C to the Securities Purchase Agreement to, among other things, reflect the change of the legal names of Cleantech and Nauticus contemplated to take effect at the closing of the Merger.

 

Now, therefore, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.  Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Securities Purchase Agreement shall be amended, effective as of the date hereof, as follows (and for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent of any conflict between the terms of this Letter Agreement and the terms of the January Letter Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement in effect prior to the execution of this Letter Agreement (the “Existing Securities Purchase Agreement”), the terms of this Letter Agreement shall control):

 

(a) The Subscription Amount that the SPV has agreed to advance to Cleantech for the purchase of Securities (including a Debenture and associated Warrant) subject to the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement as amended hereby is $29,000,000, and accordingly, (i) the Principal Amount of the Debenture subscribed for by the SPV is $29,591,600 (i.e., after applying the multiplier of 1.0204 to such Subscription Amount pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement as amended hereby); and (ii) the number of Warrant Shares initially issuable under the associated Warrant subscribed for by the SPV is 2,367,328 shares, subject to adjustment under the terms of such Warrant.

(b) The SPV’s signature page to the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be replaced with the SPV’s executed signature page attached as Annex 1 hereto, which reflects the foregoing amendments set forth in the preceding Section 1(a) and correctly states the formula for determining the Principal Amount of the Debenture to be purchased by the SPV subject to the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement as amended hereby.

 

(c) Notwithstanding anything set forth in the January Letter Agreement (including without limitation the SPV Automatic Increase Provision), the Subscription Amount that the SPV has agreed to advance to Cleantech for the purchase of Securities under and pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall not be increased upon receipt by Cleantech of the MIF II Contribution or any other amount received by Cleantech from MIF II.
