Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 27, 2022, Basanite, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Equipment Rental Agreement (the “Agreement”) with First New Haven Mortgage Company, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company and an affiliate of the Company (the “Lessor”). Ronald J. LoRicco is the co-managing member of the Lessor and has an indirect pecuniary interest in the Lessor. In accordance with Nevada corporate law, the Agreement was independently reviewed and approved by the unanimous vote of the disinterested directors of the Company, with Mr. LoRicco recusing himself from voting.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Lessor paid approximately $450,000 to Upstate Custom Products LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company (the “Manufacturer”) on April 22, 2022 to purchase a single, specialized BasaMax™ Tetrad Basalt Rebar Pultrusion Machine to be used to manufacture the Company’s products (the “Machine”). The Company had previously ordered the Machine from the Manufacturer, and pursuant to the Agreement, the Lessor secured rights to the ownership of the Machine and rights under all the sales orders and agreements to purchase the Machine from Manufacturer to the Lessor.

Further pursuant to the Agreement, the Lessor has agreed to lease the Machine to the Company for a term commencing on April 25, 2022 and ending on April 25, 2024 (the “Lease Term”). The Company will pay the Lessor approximately $8,250 per month during the Lease Term for the Machine. In addition, the Company and Lessor agreed that the Company has no obligation to pay rent in cash under the Agreement, but such rent shall accrue, until the Company is able to raise $2,000,000 in equity financing (the “Initial Equity Raise”), at which point all accrued and unpaid rent shall be paid in accordance with the Agreement and the Company shall pay rent on a monthly basis thereafter. In addition, the Company is liable for late fees in the amount of $300 for each month the Lessee does not pay rent following the Initial Equity Raise, and if the Initial Equity Raise does not occur by the end of the Lease Term, the Lessor and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to extend the Lease Term.

In addition, the Agreement provides for the required purchase of the Equipment by the Company at the end of the Lease Term or after the Company raises an additional $3,000,000 in equity in excess of the Initial Equity Raise, for $450,000 plus any accrued or unpaid rent in cash.

The forgoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 on this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.

On May 2, 2022, the parties entered into a First Amendment to the Agreement for the sole purpose of articulating the specific Machine subject to the Agreement. Such First Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03. Creation ofa Director Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information contained in Item 1.01 relating to the Agreement (as defined and discussed in Item 1.01), is incorporated in this Item 2.03 by reference.

Lessee hereby transfers all its rights to the ownership of the Equipment and rights under all the sales orders and agreements to purchase the Equipment from Manufacturer are hereby assigned to Lessor by Lessee, and such assignment shall be deemed confirmed through the execution of this Agreement and execution of consent from Manufacturer, a form of which is attached as Exhibit B. Parties shall cooperate with each other to ensure that the Manufacturer provides its written consent to such assignment of all rights and ownership of the Equipment to Lessor. Further, Parties agree that no Party shall be responsible for any errors, negligence, breach of contract, or any other acts of Manufacturer in connection with the sales orders and agreements that were entered into between Lessee and Manufacturer prior to and as of the Effective Date.
