1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
In
connection with the Meeting (defined below), PowerUp Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) and SRIRAMA Associates, LLC (the “Sponsor”)
are entering into non-redemption agreements (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with certain of the Company’s unaffiliated
third-party shareholders in exchange for such shareholders agreeing not to redeem (or to validly rescind any redemption requests on)
a to be determined amount of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares (the “Non-Redeemed Shares”) in connection with the
Meeting. In exchange for the foregoing commitment not to redeem such shares, for every 150,000 Non-Redeemed Shares, the Sponsor has agreed
to transfer to such shareholders 50,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company held by the Sponsor. The Non-Redemption Agreements will
increase the amount of funds that remain in the Company’s trust account following the Meeting.
The
foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
form of Non-Redemption Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

NON-REDEMPTION
AGREEMENT
AND
ASSIGNMENT OF ECONOMIC INTEREST
This
Non-Redemption Agreement and Assignment of Economic Interest (this “Agreement”) is entered as of May [●], 2024
by and among PowerUp Acquisition Corp. (“PWUP”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, SRIRAMA Associates, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (the “Sponsor”) and the undersigned investors (collectively, “Investor”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS,
the Sponsor currently holds PWUP Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, initially purchased in a private placement prior
to PWUP’s initial public offering (the “Founder Shares”);
WHEREAS,
PWUP expects to hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) for the purpose of seeking shareholder
approval of, among other things, an amendment to PWUP’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “M&A”,
and such amendment the “M&A Amendment”) to extend the date by which PWUP must consummate an initial business combination
(the “Initial Business Combination”) until February 17, 2025 (the “Extension”);
WHEREAS,
the M&A provides that a shareholder of PWUP may redeem its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, initially sold as
part of the units in PWUP’s initial public offering (whether they were purchased in our initial public offering or thereafter in
the open market) (the “Public Shares” and together with the Founder Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”)
in connection with the M&A Amendment, on the terms set forth in the M&A (“Redemption Rights”);
WHEREAS,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Sponsor desires to transfer to Investor, and Investor desires to acquire from
the Sponsor, that number of Founder Shares set forth opposite such Investor’s name on Exhibit A (the “Assigned
Securities”), to be transferred to Investor in connection with PWUP’s completion of its Initial Business Combination,
and, prior to the transfer of the Assigned Securities to Investor, the Sponsor desires to assign the economic benefits of the Assigned
Securities to Investor.
NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Investor, PWUP and the Sponsor hereby agree as follows:
| 1.1. | Upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, if (a) as of 5:30 PM, New York
time, on the date of the Meeting, Investor holds the Investor Shares (as defined below),
(b) Investor does not exercise (or exercised and validly rescinds) its Redemption Rights
with respect to such Investor Shares in connection with the Meeting, and (c) the Extension
is approved at the Meeting and the Company meets the continued or initial listing requirements
to be listed on a National Securities Exchange following the Meeting, then the Sponsor hereby
agrees to assign to Investor for no additional consideration the Assigned Securities set
forth on Exhibit A, and the Sponsor further agrees to assign to Investor the Economic
Interest (as defined below) associated with the Assigned Securities that the Sponsor has
agreed to assign to Investor. “Investor Shares” shall mean an amount of the Public
Shares presently held by Investor equal to the lesser of (i) [●] Public Shares, and
(ii) [●]% of the Public Shares that are not to be redeemed, including those Public
Shares subject to non-redemption agreements with other PWUP shareholders similar to this
Agreement on or about the date of the Meeting. The Sponsor and PWUP agree to provide Investor
with the final number of Investor Shares subject to this Agreement no later than 9:30 a.m.
Eastern on the first business day following the date of the Meeting (and in all cases a sufficient
amount of time to allow the Investor to reverse any exercise of Redemption Rights with regard
to any Investor Shares), provided, that such amount shall not exceed [●] Public
Shares. |
| 1.2. | The
Sponsor and Investor hereby agree that the assignment and transfer of the Assigned Securities
shall be subject to the conditions that (i) the Initial Business Combination is consummated;
and (ii) Investor (or its Permitted Transferees, as such term is defined in that certain
Letter Agreement, dated February 17, 2022, by and among PWUP, PowerUp Sponsor, LLC (the “Original
Sponsor”), and PWUP’s officers and directors, as it exists on the date hereof,
the “Letter Agreement”) executes a joinder to the Letter Agreement set
forth as Exhibit B to this Agreement. |
Upon
the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, as applicable, the Sponsor shall promptly transfer (and no later than two (2) business
days following the closing of the Initial Business Combination) the Assigned Securities to Investor (or its Permitted Transferees) free
and clear of any liens or other encumbrances, other than pursuant to Section 7 of the Letter Agreement, restrictions on transfer imposed
by the securities laws, and any successor or similar agreement entered into in connection with the Initial Business Combination (which
shall be no less favorable or more restrictive than what is agreed to by the Sponsor). The Sponsor and PWUP covenant and agree to facilitate
such transfer to Investor (or its Permitted Transferees) in accordance with the foregoing.
| 1.3. | Adjustment
to Share Amounts. If at any time the number of outstanding Founder Shares is increased
or decreased by a consolidation, combination, subdivision or reclassification of the Ordinary
Shares of PWUP or other similar event, then, as of the effective date of such consolidation,
combination, subdivision, reclassification or similar event, all share numbers referenced
in this Agreement shall be adjusted in proportion to such increase or decrease in the Ordinary
Shares of PWUP. |
| 1.4. | Merger
or Reorganization, etc. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification,
consolidation or merger involving PWUP in which its Ordinary Shares are converted into or
exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, following any such reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger before the assignment and transfer
of the Assigned Securities pursuant to Section 1.1, in lieu of ordinary shares of PWUP, the
Sponsor shall transfer, with respect to each Founder Share to be transferred hereunder, upon
the Sponsor’s receipt thereof, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property
into which such Assigned Securities converted or exchanged and the Economic Interest shall
be with respect to such kind and amount of securities, cash or other property. |
| 1.5. | Forfeitures,
Transfers, etc. Investor shall not be subject to forfeiture, surrender, claw-back, transfers,
disposals, exchanges or earn-outs for any reason on the Assigned Securities. |
| 1.6. | Delivery
of Shares; Other Documents. At the time of the transfer of Assigned Securities hereunder,
the Sponsor shall deliver the Assigned Securities to Investor by transfer of book-entry shares
effected through PWUP’s transfer agent. The parties to this Agreement agree to execute,
acknowledge and deliver such further instruments and to do all such other acts, as may be
necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement. |
| 1.7. | Assignment
of Registration Rights. Concurrent with the transfer of Assigned Securities to Investor
under this Agreement, the Sponsor hereby assigns all of its rights, duties and obligations
to Investor with respect to the Assigned Securities under that certain Registration Rights
Agreement, dated February 17, 2022, by and among PWUP and the Original Sponsor (as it exists
on the date of the Agreement, the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and
hereby represents and confirms to Investor that, upon Investor’s receipt of the Assigned
Securities, (i) Investor shall be an “Investor” under the Registration Rights
Agreement and (ii) the Assigned Securities shall be “Registrable Securities”
under the Registration Rights Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the Sponsor’s written
notice to PWUP of such assignment in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement (if
required). Investor shall execute a joinder to the Registration Rights Agreement, set forth
as Exhibit B to this Agreement, pursuant to which, Investor will be bound by the terms
and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement as an “Investor” thereunder
with respect to the Assigned Securities (upon acquisition thereof) as “Registrable
Securities” thereunder. |
| 1.8. | Joinder
to Letter Agreement. In connection with the transfer of the Assigned Securities to Investor,
Investor shall execute a joinder to the Letter Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement
in substantially the form attached here to as Exhibit B (the “Joinder”)
pursuant to which Investor shall agree with PWUP to be bound solely by Section 7 of the Letter
Agreement solely with respect to the Assigned Securities and by the terms and provisions
of the Registration Rights Agreement as an “Investor” thereunder with respect
to the Assigned Securities (upon acquisition thereof) as “Registrable Securities”
thereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Joinder to the contrary, Investor
shall be released with respect to the Assigned Securities from any transfer or lock-up restrictions
under the Letter Agreement or the Registrations Rights Agreement to the same extent as the
Sponsor is released from such restrictions with respect to its remaining Founder Shares. |
| 1.9. | Termination.
This Agreement and each of the obligations of the undersigned shall terminate on earlier
of (a) the failure of PWUP’s shareholders to approve the Extension at the Meeting,
(b) the fulfillment of all obligations of parties hereto, (c) the liquidation or dissolution
of PWUP, (d) the mutual written agreement of the parties hereto; or (e) if Investor exercises
its Redemption Rights with respect to any Investor Shares in connection with the Meeting
and such Investors Shares are actually redeemed in connection with the Meeting. Notwithstanding
any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Sponsor’s obligation to transfer
the Assigned Securities to Investor shall be conditioned on (i) the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Section 1.2 and (ii) such Investor Shares not being redeemed in connection with
the Meeting. |
| 2. | Assignment
of Economic Interest. |
| 2.1. | Upon
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1.1, the Sponsor hereby assigns to Investor
all of its economic right, title and interest in and to that number of Assigned Securities
set forth on Exhibit A (the “Economic Interest”), subject to adjustment
as set forth in Section 2.2. The Economic Interest represents the Sponsor’s right to
receive dividends and other distributions made by the Sponsor allocated to that number of
Assigned Securities set forth on Exhibit A represented by the Founder Shares held
directly by the Sponsor. |
| 2.2. | If
at any time the number of outstanding Founder Shares is increased or decreased by a consolidation,
combination, split or reclassification or other similar event, then, as of the effective
date of such consolidation, combination, split, reclassification or similar event, the number
of shares underlying the Economic Interest shall be adjusted in proportion to such increase
or decrease in outstanding Founder Shares. The foregoing shall not apply to (i) any increase
or decrease in the number of authorized Founder Shares or (ii) a reclassification of the
share capital of PWUP, in each case in connection with the closing of the Initial Business
Combination. |
| 2.3. | Investor
acknowledges and agrees that it has no right to vote on matters of the Sponsor as a result
of the Assigned Securities or Economic Interest, or to vote with respect to any Assigned
Securities, and it has no right to vote Assigned Securities prior to transfer of any such
shares to Investor pursuant to this Agreement. |
| 2.4. | Investor
acknowledges and agrees that if it has a right pursuant to its Economic Interest to receive
any dividends or other distributions paid in Ordinary Shares or other non-cash property,
the Sponsor shall transfer all of its right, title and interest in such dividends or distributions
concurrently with the transfer of the Assigned Securities to such Investor pursuant to Section
1. |
| 2.5. | If
the conditions to the transfer of the Assigned Securities in Section 1 are not satisfied
with respect to any Assigned Securities, then Investor shall at such time automatically assign
its Economic Interest in such Assigned Securities back to the Sponsor, for no consideration. |
| 3. | Representations,
Warranties and Covenants of Investor. Investor represents and warrants to, and agrees
with, the Sponsor that: |
| 3.1. | No
Government Recommendation or Approval. Investor understands that no federal or state
agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the offering of the Assigned
Securities. |
| 3.2. | Accredited
Investor. Investor is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in
Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and acknowledges that the sale contemplated hereby is being made in reliance,
among other things, on a private placement exemption to “accredited investors”
under the Securities Act and similar exemptions under state law. |
| 3.3. | Intent.
Investor is acquiring the Assigned Securities solely for investment purposes, for such Investor’s
own account (and/or for the account or benefit of its members or affiliates, as permitted),
and not with a view to the distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act and Investor
has no present arrangement to sell Assigned Securities to or through any person or entity
except as may be permitted hereunder. |
| 3.4. | Restrictions
on Transfer; Trust Account; Redemption Rights. |
| 3.4.1. | Investor
acknowledges and agrees that, prior to their transfer hereunder, the Assigned Securities
are, and following any transfer to Investor may continue to be, subject to the transfer restrictions
as set forth in Section 7 of the Letter Agreement. |
| 3.4.2. | Investor
acknowledges and agrees that the Assigned Securities are not entitled to, and have no right,
interest or claim of any kind in or to, any monies held in the trust account into which the
proceeds of PWUP’s initial public offering were deposited (the “Trust Account”)
or distributed as a result of any liquidation of the Trust Account. |
| 3.4.3. | Investor
agrees, solely for the benefit of and, notwithstanding anything else herein, enforceable
only by PWUP, to waive any right that it may have to elect to have PWUP redeem any Investor
Shares in connection with the Extension and agrees not to redeem or otherwise exercise any
right to redeem, the Investor Shares and to reverse and revoke any prior redemption elections
made with respect to the Investor Shares in connection with the Extension. For the avoidance
of doubt, nothing in this Agreement is intended to restrict or prohibit Investor’s
ability to redeem any Public Shares other than the Investor Shares, or to trade or redeem
any Public Shares (other than the Investor Shares) in its discretion and at any time or trade
or redeem any Investor Shares in its discretion and at any time after the date of the Meeting. |
| 3.4.4. | Investor
acknowledges and understands the Assigned Securities are being offered in a transaction not
involving a public offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act
and have not been registered under the Securities Act and, if in the future Investor decides
to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer Assigned Securities, such Assigned Securities
may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) pursuant to an effective
registration statement filed under the Securities Act, (B) pursuant to an exemption from
registration under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, if available, or (C) pursuant
to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
and in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state or any other
jurisdiction. Investor agrees that, if any transfer of the Assigned Securities or any interest
therein is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer, Investor may
be required to deliver to PWUP an opinion of counsel satisfactory to PWUP that registration
is not required with respect to the Assigned Securities to be transferred. Absent registration
or another available exemption from registration, Investor agrees it will not transfer the
Assigned Securities. |
| 3.5. | Sophisticated
Investor. Investor is sophisticated in financial matters and able to evaluate the risks
and benefits of the investment in the Assigned Securities. |
| 3.6. | Risk
of Loss. Investor is aware that an investment in the Assigned Securities is highly speculative
and subject to substantial risks. Investor is cognizant of and understands the risks related
to the acquisition of the Assigned Securities, including those restrictions described or
provided for in this Agreement, the Operating Agreement of the Sponsor (as it exists on the
date hereof, the “Sponsor LLC Agreement”), and the Letter Agreement pertaining
to transferability. Investor is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Assigned
Securities for an indefinite period of time and able to sustain a complete loss of such investment. |
| 3.7. | Independent
Investigation. Investor has relied upon an independent investigation of PWUP and has
not relied upon any information or representations made by any third parties or upon any
oral or written representations or assurances, express or implied, from the Sponsor or any
representatives or agents of the Sponsor, other than as set forth in this Agreement. Investor
is familiar with the business, operations and financial condition of PWUP and has had an
opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from PWUP’s management concerning
PWUP and the terms and conditions of the proposed sale of the Assigned Securities and has
had full access to such other information concerning PWUP as Investor has requested. Investor
confirms that all documents that it has requested have been made available and that Investor
has been supplied with all of the additional information concerning this investment which
Investor has requested. Investor has reviewed the Letter Agreement and acknowledged the restrictions
on the Founder Shares contained in Section 7 therein. |
| 3.8. | Organization
and Authority. If an entity, Investor is duly organized and existing under the laws of
the jurisdiction in which it was organized and it possesses all requisite power and authority
to acquire the Assigned Securities, enter into this Agreement and perform all the obligations
required to be performed by Investor hereunder. |
| 3.9. | Non-U.S.
Investor. If Investor is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30)
of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder
(collectively, the “Code”)), Investor hereby represents that it has satisfied
itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation
to subscribe for the Assigned Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the
legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the acquisition of the Assigned Securities,
(ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such acquisition, (iii) any governmental
or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences,
if any, that may be relevant to the acquisition, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of
the Assigned Securities. Investor’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial
ownership of the Assigned Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other
laws of Investor’s jurisdiction. |
| 3.10. | Authority.
This Agreement has been validly authorized, executed and delivered by Investor and, assuming
due authorization, execution and delivery by the Sponsor and PWUP, is a valid and binding
agreement enforceable against Investor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, reorganization,
or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’
rights and remedies or by equitable principles of general application and except as enforcement
of rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by federal and state securities laws
or principles of public policy. |
| 3.11. | No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation
by Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute
a default under (i) Investor’s organizational documents, (ii) any agreement or instrument
to which Investor is a party or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which Investor
is subject, or any order, judgment or decree to which Investor is subject, in the case of
clauses (ii) and (iii), that would reasonably be expected to prevent Investor from fulfilling
its obligations under this Agreement. |
| 3.12. | No
Advice from Sponsor. Investor has had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the form of Letter Agreement with Investor’s
own legal counsel and investment and tax advisors. Except for any statements or representations
of the Sponsor explicitly made in this Agreement, Investor is relying solely on such counsel
and advisors and not on any statements or representations, express or implied, of the Sponsor
or any of its representatives or agents for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation
for legal, tax or investment advice, with respect to this investment, the Sponsor, PWUP,
the Assigned Securities, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the securities
laws of any jurisdiction. |
| 3.13. | Reliance
on Representations and Warranties. Investor understands that the Assigned Securities
are being offered and sold to Investor in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements
under the Securities Act, and analogous provisions in the laws and regulations of various
states, and that the Sponsor is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations,
warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Investor set forth in this
Agreement in order to determine the applicability of such provisions. |
| 3.14. | No
General Solicitation. Investor is not subscribing for Assigned Securities as a result
of or subsequent to any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of
Regulation D under the Securities Act, including but not limited to any advertisement, article,
notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast
over television or radio or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any
general solicitation or general advertising. |
| 3.15. | Brokers.
No broker, finder or intermediary has been paid or is entitled to a fee or commission from
or by Investor in connection with the acquisition of the Assigned Securities nor is Investor
entitled to or will accept any such fee or commission. |
| 4. | Representations

and Authority. The Sponsor is a limited liability company duly formed and validly existing

| 4.2. | Authority.
All corporate action on the part of the Sponsor and its officers, directors and members necessary
for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of all
obligations of the Sponsor required pursuant hereto has been taken. This Agreement has been
duly executed and delivered by the Sponsor and (assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by Investor) constitutes the Sponsor’s legal, valid and binding obligation,

may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, reorganization,
or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’
rights and remedies or by equitable principles of general application and except as enforcement
of rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by federal and state securities laws
or principles of public policy. |

kind (other than transfer restrictions pursuant to Section 7 of the Letter Agreement, restrictions

trusts, proxies and other arrangements or restrictions of any kind (other than transfer restrictions
pursuant to Section 7 of the Letter Agreement, restrictions on transfer imposed by the securities
laws, and any successor or similar agreement entered into in connection with the Initial
Business Combination (which shall be no less favorable or more restrictive than what is agreed
to by the Sponsor)). The Assigned Securities are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid

Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation
by the Sponsor of the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute
a default under (i) the certificate of formation or the Sponsor LLC Agreement, (ii) any agreement
or instrument to which the Sponsor is a party or by which it is bound (including the Letter
Agreement and the Sponsor LLC Agreement) or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to
which the Sponsor is subject or any order, judgment or decree to which the Sponsor is subject.
The Sponsor is not required under federal, state or local law, rule or regulation to obtain
any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court
or governmental agency or self-regulatory entity in order for it to perform any of its obligations
under this Agreement or transfer the Assigned Securities in accordance with the terms hereof. |

General Solicitation. The Sponsor has not offered the Assigned Securities by means of
any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Regulation D of the
Securities Act, including but not limited to any advertisement, article, notice or other

or radio or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation
or general advertising. |
| 4.6. | Brokers.
No broker, finder or intermediary has been paid or is entitled to a fee or commission from
or by the Sponsor in connection with the sale of the Assigned Securities nor is the Sponsor
entitled to or will accept any such fee or commission. |

Restrictions. Until termination of this Agreement, the Sponsor shall not transfer any
of its Founder Shares representing the economic benefit of the Assigned Securities. |
| 4.8. | Reliance
on Representations and Warranties. The Sponsor understands and acknowledges that Investor
is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments
and understandings of the Sponsor set forth in this Agreement. |
| 4.9. | No
Pending Actions. There is no action pending against the Sponsor or PWUP or, to the knowledge
of the Sponsor, threatened against the Sponsor or PWUP, before any court, arbitrator, or
governmental authority, which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially
delay the performance by the Sponsor of its obligations under this Agreement. |
| 5. | Trust
Account. Until the earlier of (a) the consummation of PWUP’s initial business combination;
(b) the liquidation of the Trust Account; and (c) 15 months from consummation of PWUP’s
