Certain Related Transactions

 

1.Additional Bridge Financing

 

As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 7, 2022, in a private placement transaction on October 5, 2022, the Company, VSee and iDoc, entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Bridge SPA”) with an institutional investor (the “Bridge Investor”). Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, DHAC entered into a letter agreement to the Bridge SPA (the “Bridge Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which the Bridge Investor agreed to purchase additional 10% original issue discount convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $166,667 (with a subscription amount of $150,000) from the Company with (1) a $111,111.33 note purchased at signing of the Bridge Letter Agreement, which will mature on May 21, 2025 and (2) a $55,555.67 note purchased at a later date mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Bridge Investor, which is currently expected to be upon the filing of an amendment to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 in connection with the Business Combination (the “Additional Bridge Notes”). The Additional Bridge Notes bear guaranteed interest at a rate of 8.00% per annum and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”) at a fixed conversion price of $10 per share. The conversion price of the Additional Bridge Notes is subject to reset if the Company’s Common Stock trades below $10.00 on the 10th business day after the conversion shares are registered or may otherwise be freely resold, and every 90th day thereafter, to a price equal to the greater of (x) 95% of the average lowest VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock in the 10 trading dates prior to the measurement date and (y) $2.00. In addition, optional prepayment of the Additional Bridge Notes requires the payment of 110% of the outstanding obligations, including the guaranteed minimum interest. If an event of default occurs, the Additional Bridge Notes would bear interest at a rate of 24.00% per annum and require the payment of 125% of the outstanding obligations, including the guaranteed minimum interest.

 

The foregoing description of the Bridge Letter Agreement and the Additional Bridge Notes do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of the Bridge Letter Agreement and the form of Additional Bridge Notes filed as Exhibit 10.3 and Exhibit 10.4 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

The Exchange Note will bear interest at a rate of 8.00% per annum and will be convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a fixed conversion price of $10 per share. The conversion price of the Exchange Note is subject to reset if the Company’s Common Stock trades below $10.00 on the 10th business day after the conversion shares are registered or may otherwise be freely resold, and every 90th day thereafter, to a price equal to the greater of (x) 95% of the average lowest VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock in the 10th trading dates prior to the measurement date and (y) $2.00. In addition, optional prepayment of the Exchange Note requires the payment of 110% of the outstanding obligations.

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s, VSee’s and iDoc’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

 

These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s, VSee’s and iDoc’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Business Combination, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Business Combination and the timing of the completion of the Business Combination. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside the Company’s, VSee’s and iDoc’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the ability of DHAC, VSee and iDoc to meet the closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of DHAC, VSee and iDoc or certain regulatory approvals, or failure to satisfy other conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement; (2) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances, including the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against DHAC, VSee and iDoc following the announcement of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement or could otherwise cause the transactions contemplated therein to fail to close; (3) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the combined company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as applicable, following the Business Combination; (4) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (5) the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (6) costs related to the Business Combination; (7) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (8) the inability of the combined company to raise financing in the future; (9) the success, cost and timing of VSee’s, iDoc’s and the combined company’s product development activities; (10) the inability of VSee, iDoc or the combined company to obtain and maintain regulatory approval for their products, and any related restrictions and limitations of any approved product; (11) the inability of VSee, iDoc or the combined company to identify, in-license or acquire additional technology; (12) the inability of VSee, iDoc or the combined company to maintain VSee’s or iDoc’s existing or future license, manufacturing, supply and distribution agreements; (13) the inability of VSee, iDoc or the combined company to compete with other companies currently marketing or engaged in the development of products and services that VSee or iDoc is currently marketing or developing; (14) the size and growth potential of the markets for VSee’s, iDoc’s and the combined company’s products and services, and each of their ability to serve those markets, either alone or in partnership with others; (15) the pricing of VSee’s, iDoc’s and the combined company’s products and services and reimbursement for medical procedures conducted using VSee’s, iDoc’s and the combined company’s products and services; (16) VSee’s, iDoc’s and the combined company’s estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements and needs for additional financing; (17) VSee’s, iDoc’s and the combined company’s financial performance; and (18) the impact of COVID-19 on VSee’s and iDoc’s businesses and/or the ability of the parties to complete the Business Combination. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Additional information concerning certain of these and other risk factors is contained in DHAC’s most recent filings with the SEC, including DHAC’s Prospectus, filed with the SEC on November 4, 2021. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained herein.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Each of DHAC, VSee or iDoc expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in their expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any statement is based, except as required by law.

(f)            If any Parent Common Stock is to be issued to a Person other than the Company Parties Stockholder in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Company Parties Stock in book-entry form is registered, it shall be a condition to the issuance of the applicable Parent Common Stock that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Company Parties Stock in book-entry form shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such consideration pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer Taxes required as a result of such consideration being issued to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Company Parties Stock in book-entry form or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such transfer Taxes have been paid or are not payable.

 

(g)            No interest will be paid or accrued on the Parent Common Stock.

(i)            Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the Company Parties Stockholders twelve (12) months following the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent or as otherwise instructed by Parent, and any Company Parties Stockholder who has not exchanged his, her or its Company Parties Stock for the applicable Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.6 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for the issuance of the applicable Parent Common Stock, without any interest thereon. None of Parent, the Surviving Companies or any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable to any Person in respect of any consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, unclaimed property, escheat, or similar Law. Any Parent Common Stock remaining unclaimed by the Company Parties Stockholders immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

 

(j)            At the Closing, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.6(j), Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited with Continental (the “Escrow Agent”) (i) shares of Parent Common Stock in an amount equal to 2% of the aggregate amount of Parent Common Stock otherwise issuable to VSee Stockholders as VSee Class A Consideration (the “VSee Indemnity Escrow Shares”) and (ii) shares of Parent Common Stock in an amount equal to 2% of the aggregate amount of Parent Common Stock otherwise issuable to iDoc Stockholders as iDoc Class A Consideration (the “iDoc Indemnity Escrow Shares” and together with the VSee Indemnity Escrow Shares, the “Indemnity Escrow Shares”), in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Escrow Agreements in a form mutually agreed by the Parties (the “Escrow Agreements”).

The Indemnity Escrow Accounts shall each be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any Lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes of, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreements.

Parent, the Group Companies, the Escrow Agent, the Exchange Agent and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The Parties shall cooperate (i) in good faith to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding (including through the request and provision of any statements, forms or other documents to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding) and (ii) with any applicable recipient of any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement in obtaining a refund and remittance to such recipient of any amounts withheld and paid over to any applicable Taxing Authority pursuant to this Section 2.7.

At the Effective Time, (a) all Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled, extinguished and cease to exist and (b) the holders of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to them under the DGCL or the TBOC, as applicable. If any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, Subchapter H, Chapter 10 of the TBOC, or other applicable Law, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted, as of the Effective Time, into the right to receive Parent Common Stock upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement applicable to holders that have not properly demanded appraisal rights. A Company Party shall give Parent prompt notice (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) of any demands received by such Company Party for appraisal of shares of Company Parties Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL or the TBOC, as applicable, and received by such Company Party relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and, following the Effective Time, direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, a Company Party shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demands or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or otherwise comply with the provisions under Section 262 of the DGCL, Subchapter H, Chapter 10 of the TBOC, or agree or commit to do any of the foregoing.

(ii)            The amount of any Losses suffered, sustained or incurred by any Indemnified Parties shall be reduced by the amount such Indemnified Parties actually recovered (after deducting all attorneys’ fees, expenses and other costs of recovery (including any deductible amount) and any resultant increase in insurance premiums of Parent) from any insurer (excluding self-insurance or captive insurance) or other Person then liable for such Losses.

 

(iii)            If any Parent Indemnified Party receives any amounts under insurance coverage (excluding self-insurance or captive insurance) or from any Person with respect to Losses sustained at any time subsequent to any payment to such Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 8, then such Parent Indemnified Party shall promptly deposit such amount in the Indemnity Escrow Account until disbursed pursuant to the terms hereof and the applicable Escrow Agreement.

 

(iv)            Notwithstanding the fact that any Parent Indemnified Party may have the right to assert claims for indemnification under or in respect of more than one section or subsection of this Agreement in respect of any fact, event, condition or circumstance, any amount of damages recovered under one section or subsection of this Agreement shall not be recovered more than once in response of the same Loss under another section or subsection of this Agreement.

 

(v)            Neither VSee nor iDoc shall have any liability for any Loss for which indemnification is sought to the extent that an allowance, provision or reserve covering such Loss actually reduced the amount of the iDoc Closing Consideration or the VSee Closing Consideration, in accordance with the reductions contemplated in the definitions thereof.

 

Section 8.4      Claim Procedure.

 

(a)            Notice of Claims. If a claim for Losses (a “Claim”) is to be made by Parent that does not involve a third party, Parent shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to VSee or iDoc, as applicable, and the Escrow Agent (in such capacity, the “Indemnifying Party”), which Claim Notice shall describe the claim for indemnification hereunder and specify in reasonable detail, to the extent known and reasonably quantifiable at such time, the amount or estimated amount of the Claim, which statement or estimate shall not be binding and may be revised, amended or modified upon notice to the Indemnifying Party. The failure of Parent to give timely notice of a Claim hereunder shall not affect Parent’s rights to indemnification hereunder. If the applicable Indemnifying Party disputes in writing its liability with respect to such Claim or the estimated amount of such Losses pursuant to this Section 8.4 within forty-five (45) days following delivery of such Claim Notice, the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, that, if such dispute has not been resolved within thirty (30) days following notice of such dispute of the Claim Notice, then the amount of indemnification to which Parent shall be entitled under this Article 8 shall be determined by: (i) the written agreement between Parent and the Indemnifying Party through the use of good faith efforts to resolve such dispute; (ii) a final judgment or decree of any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) any other means to which Parent and the Indemnifying Party shall agree. The judgment or decree of a Governmental Entity shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined. Following such determination of the amount of indemnification, or if the applicable Indemnifying Party notifies Parent that it does not dispute the claim described in the Claim Notice or fails to respond within forty-five (45) days following receipt of such Claim Notice, such determination of the amount of indemnification or the Losses identified in the Claim Notice, as applicable, will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b), as applicable, and Parent shall forward to the Indemnifying Party written notice of any such sums due and owing by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall pay all of such sums so due and owing within five (5) Business Days by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

 

92

 

 

(b)            Third Party Claims.

 

(i)            If Parent receives notice of the assertion of any Claim or the commencement of any action by a third party or Governmental Entity with respect to a matter subject to indemnity hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), notice thereof (a “Third Party Notice”) shall promptly be given to the applicable Indemnifying Party and the Escrow Agent, which Third Party Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for any anticipated liability and specify in reasonable detail, to the extent known and reasonably quantifiable at such time, the amount or estimated amount of the Third-Party Claim, which statement shall not be binding and may be revised, amended or modified upon notice to the Indemnifying Party. The failure of Parent to give timely notice of a Third Party Claim hereunder shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent such delay or failure has a material prejudicial effect on the defenses or other rights available to the applicable Indemnifying Party. After receipt of a Third Party Notice, the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, by providing written notice to Parent within forty-five (45) days of delivery of the Third Party Notice, to conduct and control through reputable counsel of its own choice (subject to the approval of Parent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) the defense, compromise or settlement (subject to the requirements set forth in Section 8.4(b)(ii) below) of any Third Party Claim, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense to the extent the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify Parent or is otherwise liable to pay for such fees and expenses pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b), as applicable; provided, that the Indemnifying Party must conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently in order to preserve its rights in this regard; and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to conduct and control the defense thereof if such Third Party Claim, based on the remedy sought, (i) would reasonably be expected to result in an equitable order, judgment or term that would restrict the future activity of, or result in a material and adverse impact on, the ongoing business of the Indemnifying Party/Indemnified Party (as applicable) or any of their Affiliates, (ii) seeks equitable relief or (iii) relates to a criminal action or involves claims by a Governmental Entity. The Indemnified Party may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has elected to conduct and control the defense, compromise or settlement thereof; provided, that, if Parent reasonably determines that the interests of Indemnifying Party and Parent are in material conflict with one another such that the Indemnifying Party could not adequately represent the interests of Parent, then the Indemnifying Party shall also pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one separate counsel of Parent in connection with such Third Party Claim during such time as such a conflict exists. In the event, however, that the Indemnifying Party declines or does not timely elect to conduct and control the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claim or to employ reputable counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent, in either case within such forty-five (45) day period, or if the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the defense of such claim in accordance with this Section 8.4(b), then the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable and documented expenses of counsel for Parent as incurred to the extent the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify Parent for such fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b), as applicable; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one firm for all Indemnified Parties in any claim.

 

93

 

 

(ii)            Subject to the last sentence of this Section 8.4(b)(ii), neither the Indemnifying Party nor Parent, as the case may be, shall pay, compromise, settle or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought herein without the prior written consent of the other (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless each of the following conditions are satisfied: (A) such compromise, settlement or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party/Indemnified Party (as applicable) and its Representatives from all Liability arising out of such claim, (B) such compromise, settlement or consent does not contain any finding, admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing, violation of applicable Law or Liability on behalf of the Indemnifying Party/Indemnified Party (as applicable) (other than monetary Liability of Parent that will be paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party) and (C) such settlement, compromise or consent does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term that would restrict the future activity of, or result in a material and adverse impact on, the ongoing business of the Indemnifying Party/Indemnified Party (as applicable) or any of their Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party is entitled to conduct and control the defense, compromise or settlement of any particular claim pursuant to this Section 8.4(b), but elects not to do so (or fails to provide timely notice of such election) or if the Indemnifying Party is otherwise prohibited from doing so pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 8.4(b)(i), Parent may pay, compromise, settle or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim and shall be entitled to indemnification from the Indemnifying Party for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Article 8.

 

(iii)            The Indemnifying Party shall at all times use commercially reasonable efforts to keep Parent reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any matter the defense of which it is maintaining and to reasonably cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter and shall furnish such records and other information as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party or Parent (as the case may be) in connection therewith.

 

(iv)            Parent and the Indemnifying Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law) and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.

 

Section 8.5      Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payment made by VSee or iDoc, as applicable, under this Article 8 shall be treated as an adjustment to the VSee Closing Consideration or the iDoc Closing Consideration, as applicable, for tax purposes. Any indemnification payment made by VSee or iDoc under this Article 8 shall be made through the surrender by the Escrow Agent to Parent for cancellation of a number of the VSee Indemnity Escrow Shares or the iDoc Indemnity Escrow Shares, as applicable, equal to the dollar value of the Loss, divided by $10, allocated pro rata among the VSee Stockholders or iDoc Stockholders, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreements.

 

94

 

 

Section 8.6      Sole Recourse; Payments from Escrow Account.

 

(a)            Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 8, the sole and exclusive source of recovery by the Parent Indemnified Parties under this Article 8 shall be from the VSee Indemnity Escrow Account or the iDoc Indemnity Escrow Account, as applicable.

 

(b)            Any release of Parent Common Stock from the Indemnity Escrow Accounts pursuant to Section 8.6(a) shall be subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreements. In particular, the Escrow Agent shall release to VSee and iDoc as follows:

 

(i)            on the first Business Day following the date which is six (6) months following the Closing Date (the “First Indemnity Release Date”), 50% of the then-remaining shares of Parent Common Stock in the Indemnity Escrow Accounts less the number of shares, if any, of Parent Common Stock obtained by dividing by $10 the dollar value of the following claims: (I) which Parent Indemnified Parties have asserted a claim for, but not yet received, disbursement from the Indemnity Escrow Accounts, and (II) any unresolved claims of Parent Indemnified Parties for indemnification under this Agreement (all such claims in clauses (I) and (II) being hereinafter referred to as “Pending Indemnity Claims”); and

 

(ii)            on the first Business Day following the date which is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (the “Second Indemnity Release Date”) all of the then-remaining shares of Parent Common Stock in the Indemnity Escrow Accounts less the number of shares, if any, of Parent Common Stock obtained by dividing by $10 the dollar value of any Pending Indemnity Claims.

 

Section 8.7      Exclusive Remedy. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, following the Closing, (a) the indemnification obligations of VSee and iDoc under this Article 8 and the remedies set forth herein shall constitute the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of Parent Indemnified Parties for any breach of, inaccuracy in or failure to be true and correct of any representation or warranty concerning the Group Companies set forth in this Agreement, and any breach, non-fulfillment or default in the performance of any covenant, undertaking, agreement or other obligation of the Group Companies set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that the limitations set forth above shall not apply to (i) the remedies provided in Section 9.17; and provided, further, that nothing contained herein shall limit the remedies available to any party for breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement with respect to any other agreement to be entered into in connection herewith, including the Ancillary Documents.

 

Section 8.8      Right of Offset. [Reserved].

 

95

 

 

Section 8.9      Claims Unaffected by Investigation. The right of a Parent Indemnified Party to indemnification or to assert or recover on any claim shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any information received or knowledge acquired (or capable of being received or acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy of or compliance with any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, shall not affect the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.

 

Section 8.10      Mitigation. Each of the parties agrees to take commercially reasonable steps, consistent with the steps a similarly-situated company would reasonably take, to mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

 

Section 9.17      Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of Parent, filed with the SEC (File No. 333-260232) on November 4, 2021 (the “Prospectus”). Each Company Party acknowledges and agrees and understands that Parent has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of Parent’s public stockholders (including overallotment shares acquired by Parent’s underwriters, the “Public Stockholders”), and Parent may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the express circumstances described in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of Parent entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Company Party hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Representatives that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company Parties nor any of its Representatives does now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between Parent or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and, the Company Parties or any of its Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Trust Account Released Claims”). Each Company Party, on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims that it or any of its respective Representatives may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, or Contracts with Parent or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of any agreement with Parent or its Affiliates).

I, [_____________], hereby certify that I am the [_____________] and [_____________] of VSEE HEALTH, INC. (f/k/a Digital Health Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”), a corporation organized and existing under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), and further do hereby certify:

 

That pursuant to the authority expressly conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and Section 151(g) of the DGCL, the Board on ______, 2023 adopted the following resolution determining it desirable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders for the Company to create a series of [____________ ([___])] shares of preferred stock designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”, none of which shares have been issued:

 

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board this Company, in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, a series of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company be and hereby is created, and that the designation and number of shares thereof and the voting and other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights of the shares of such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof are as follows:

 

TERMS OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

 

1.            Designation and Number of Shares. There shall hereby be created and established a series of preferred stock of the Company designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Preferred Shares”). The authorized number of Preferred Shares shall be [____________ ([___])] shares. Each Preferred Share shall have a par value of $0.0001. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in Section 26 below.

 

2.            Ranking. All shares of common stock of the Company shall be junior in rank to all Preferred Shares with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (such junior stock is referred to herein collectively as “Junior Stock”). The Preferred Shares shall be junior to shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (the “Senior Preferred Stock”).In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the Preferred Shares shall maintain their relative rights, powers, designations, privileges and preferences provided for herein and no such merger or consolidation shall result inconsistent therewith.

 

3.            Conversion. At any time after the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months from the Initial Issuance Date or (ii) the date on which no shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, each Preferred Share shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.

 

 

 

 

(a)            Holder’s Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(d), at any time or times on or after the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months from the Initial Issuance Date or (ii) the date on which no shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, , each Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding Preferred Shares held by such Holder into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c) at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, and fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent (as defined below)) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Preferred Shares.

 

(b)            Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Preferred Share pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) the Conversion Amount of such Preferred Share by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”):

 

(i)            Conversion Amount” means, with respect to each Preferred Share, as of the applicable date of determination, the Stated Value thereof.

 

(ii)            Conversion Price” means, with respect to each Preferred Share, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, $10.00, subject to adjustment as provided herein

 

(c)            Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of each Preferred Share shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

(i)            Optional Conversion. To convert a Preferred Share into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), a Holder shall deliver (whether via electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion of the share(s) of Preferred Shares subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company. If required by Section 3(c)(ii), within two (2) Trading Days following a conversion of any such Preferred Shares as aforesaid, such Holder shall surrender to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company the original certificates, if any, representing the Preferred Shares (the “Preferred Share Certificates”) so converted as aforesaid (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to the Preferred Shares in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as contemplated by Section 14(b)). On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation and representation as to whether such shares of Common Stock may then be resold pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective and available registration statement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following each date on which the Company has received a Conversion Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated on the applicable Conversion Date of such shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Conversion Notice) (the “Share Delivery Deadline”), the Company shall (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, upon the request of such Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in such Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled. If the number of Preferred Shares represented by the Preferred Share Certificate(s) submitted for conversion pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii) is greater than the number of Preferred Shares being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than two (2) Trading Days after receipt of the Preferred Share Certificate(s) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a new Preferred Share Certificate (in accordance with Section 14(d)) representing the number of Preferred Shares not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

(ii)            Registration; Book-Entry. At the time of issuance of any Preferred Shares hereunder, the applicable Holder may, by written request (including by electronic-mail) to the Company, elect to receive such Preferred Shares in the form of one or more Preferred Share Certificates or in Book-Entry form. The Company (or the Transfer Agent, as custodian for the Preferred Shares) shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Holders of each Preferred Share and the Stated Value of the Preferred Shares and whether the Preferred Shares are held by such Holder in Preferred Share Certificates or in Book-Entry form (the “Registered Preferred Shares”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and each Holder of the Preferred Shares shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Preferred Share for all purposes (including, without limitation, the right to receive payments and Dividends hereunder) notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Registered Preferred Share may be assigned, transferred or sold only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell one or more Registered Preferred Shares by such Holder thereof, the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Preferred Shares in the same aggregate Stated Value as the Stated Value of the surrendered Registered Preferred Shares to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 4, provided that if the Company does not so record an assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be) of such Registered Preferred Shares within two (2) Business Days of such a request, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3, following conversion of any Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, the applicable Holder shall not be required to physically surrender such Preferred Shares held in the form of a Preferred Share Certificate to the Company unless (A) the full or remaining number of Preferred Shares represented by the applicable Preferred Share Certificate are being converted (in which event such certificate(s) shall be delivered to the Company as contemplated by this Section 3(c)(ii)) or (B) such Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of Preferred Shares upon physical surrender of the applicable Preferred Share Certificate. Each Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Stated Value converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of a Preferred Share Certificate upon conversion. If the Company does not update the Register to record such Stated Value converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) within two (2) Business Days of such occurrence, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such occurrence. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of such Holder establishing the number of Preferred Shares to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. A Holder and any transferee or assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof. Each Preferred Share Certificate shall bear the following legends:

 

ANY TRANSFEREE OR ASSIGNEE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE CORPORATION’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 3(c)(ii) THEREOF. THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 3(c)(ii) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.

 

3 

 

 

(iii) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Preferred Shares submitted for conversion, the Company shall convert from each Holder electing to have Preferred Shares converted on such date a pro rata amount of such Holder’s Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date based on the number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the aggregate number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company shall issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section19.

 

(d)            Limitation on Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect the conversion of any of the Preferred Shares held by a Holder, and such Holder shall not have the right to convert any of the Preferred Shares held by such Holder pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Certificate of Designations and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, such Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted Preferred Shares beneficially owned by such Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes, convertible preferred stock or warrants, including the Preferred Shares and the Warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 3(d). For purposes of this Section 3(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock a Holder may acquire upon the conversion of such Preferred Shares without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, such Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives a Conversion Notice from a Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify such Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause such Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 3(d), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, such Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of any Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including such Preferred Shares, by such Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to a Holder upon conversion of such Preferred Shares results in such Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which such Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and such Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, any Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage of such Holder to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other Holder that is not an Attribution Party of such Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by such Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to convert such Preferred Shares pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(d) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 3(d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of such Preferred Shares.

(e)            Right of Alternate Conversion.

 

(i) Alternate Optional Conversion. Subject to Section 3(d), at any time on or after the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months from the Initial Issuance Date or (ii) the date on which no shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, at the option of any Holder, such Holder may convert (each, an “Alternate Optional Conversion”, and the date of such Alternate Optional Conversion, an “Alternate Optional Conversion Date”) all, or any number, of Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock (such aggregate Conversion Amount of the Preferred Shares to be converted pursuant to this Section 3(e)(i), the “Alternate Optional Conversion Amount”) at the Alternate Conversion Price (each, an “Alternate Optional Conversion”).

 

(ii) Mechanics of Alternate Conversion. On any Alternate Conversion Date, a Holder may voluntarily convert any Alternate Conversion Amount of Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 3(c) (with “Alternate Conversion Price” replacing “Conversion Price” for all purposes hereunder with respect to such Alternate Conversion) by designating in the Conversion Notice delivered pursuant to this Section 3(e) of this Certificate of Designations that such Holder is electing to use the Alternate Conversion Price for such conversion.. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(e), but subject to Section 3(d), until the Company delivers shares of Common Stock representing the applicable Alternate Conversion Amount of Preferred Shares to such Holder, such Preferred Shares may be converted by such Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2(c) without regard to this Section 3(e).

 

(f)            Company Elected Redemptions.

 

(i) Company Optional Redemptions. At any time, the Company shall have the right to redeem all, or any portion, of the Preferred Shares then outstanding (the “Company Optional Redemption Amount”) on the Company Optional Redemption Date (as defined below) (a “Company Optional Redemption”). The Preferred Shares subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 3(f) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (the “Company Optional Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed as of the Company Optional Redemption Date. The Company may exercise its right to require redemption under this Section 3(d) delivering a written notice thereof by electronic mail and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the Holders (the “Company Optional Redemption Notice” and the date all of the Holders received such notice is referred to as the “Company Optional Redemption Notice Date”). The Company may deliver only one Company Optional Redemption Notice hereunder and such Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. The Company Optional Redemption Notice shall (x) state the date on which the Company Optional Redemption shall occur (the “Company Optional Redemption Date”) which date shall not be less than ten (10) Trading Days nor more than twenty (20) Trading Days following the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date, and (y) state the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Preferred Shares which is being redeemed in such Company Optional Redemption from such Holder and all of the other Holders of the Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 3(f) on the Company Optional Redemption Date. All Conversion Amounts converted by a Holder after the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date shall reduce the Company Optional Redemption Amount of the Preferred Shares of such Holder required to be redeemed on the Company Optional Redemption Date. Redemptions made pursuant to this Section 3(f) shall be made in accordance with Section 3(f)(ii).

 

5 

 

 

(ii) Mechanics of Company Elected Redemptions. The Company shall deliver the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price to each Holder in cash on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Preferred Shares, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to such Holder a new Preferred Share Certificate (in accordance with Section 4) (or evidence of the creation of a new Book-Entry) representing the number of Preferred Shares which have not been redeemed. In the event that the Company does not pay the Company Optional Redemption Price to a Holder within the time period required for any reason (including, without limitation, to the extent such payment is prohibited pursuant to the DGCL), at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Company Optional Redemption Price in full, such Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to such Holder all or any of the Preferred Shares that were submitted for redemption and for which the Company Optional Redemption Price has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable redemption shall be null and void with respect to such Preferred Shares, (y) the Company shall immediately return the applicable Preferred Share Certificate, or issue a new Preferred Share Certificate (in accordance with Section 14(d)), to such Holder (unless the Preferred Shares are held in Book-Entry form, in which case the Company shall deliver evidence to such Holder that a Book-Entry for such Preferred Shares then exists).

 

4.            Rights Upon Fundamental Transactions.

 

(a)            Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein and therein. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares.

 

6 

 

 

5.            Rights Upon Issuance of Purchase Rights and Other Corporate Events.

 

(a)            Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or substantially all of the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then each Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of all the Preferred Shares (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares and assuming for such purpose that all the Preferred Shares were converted at the Alternate Conversion Price as of the applicable record date) held by such Holder immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided, however, to the extent that such Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in such Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable) for the benefit of such Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in such Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times such Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable)) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.

 

(b)            Other Corporate Events. Prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that each Holder will thereafter have the right, at such Holder’s option, to receive upon a conversion of all the Preferred Shares held by such Holder (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets (the “Corporate Event Consideration”) to which such Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by such Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares set forth in this Certificate of Designations) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as such Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Preferred Shares held by such Holder initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate.

 

7 

 

 

6.            Rights Upon Issuance of Other Securities.

 

(a)            Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 6(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 6(a) occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

 

(b)            Calculations. All calculations under this Section 6 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

 

(c)            Voluntary Adjustment by Company.

With respect to any vote with the class of Common Stock, each Preferred Share shall entitle the holder thereof to cast that number of votes per share as is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which it is then convertible (subject to the ownership limitations specified in Section 3(d) hereof) using the record date for determining the stockholders of the Company eligible to vote on such matters as the date as of which the Conversion Price is calculated. To the extent that under the DGCL the vote of the holders of the Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class or series, as applicable, is required to authorize a given action of the Company, the affirmative vote or consent of the Required Holders of the shares of the Preferred Shares, voting together in the aggregate and not in separate series unless required under the DGCL, represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is presented or by written consent of the Required Holders (except as otherwise may be required under the DGCL), voting together in the aggregate and not in separate series unless required under the DGCL, shall constitute the approval of such action by both the class or the series, as applicable.

All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section 10 shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to the holders of shares of Junior Stock in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section 10 applies.

The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, each Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.

Re:Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement for Additional Notes

 

Dear Sirs:

 

Reference is made to (i) the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of October 5, 2022 ( as amended, superseded, replaced, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), between Digital Health Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [INVESTOR], a Connecticut limited liability company, as purchaser (“you” or “[INVESTOR]”) and [INVESTOR], as collateral agent for the Purchaser Parties.

This letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) confirms our recent discussions regarding an additional purchase by [INVESTOR] of an aggregate of $150,000.00 in Subscription Amounts of Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes of the Company, which Subscription Amounts shall correspond to an aggregate of $166,667.00 in Initial Principal Amounts to reflect a ten percent (10%) original issue discount, and certain related matters.

(1)This Letter Agreement shall be deemed to be included in the definition of “Transaction Documents” as such term is defined by the Purchase Agreement.

 

(2)Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement and herein, (a) the Company agrees to sell, and [INVESTOR] agrees to purchase, (i) substantially concurrent with the execution and delivery of this Letter Agreement by the parties hereto, a Note issuable by the Company having a principal amount equal to $111,111.33 and (ii) at a later date mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, a Note issuable by the Company having a principal amount equal to $55,555.67 (collectively, the “Additional Closings”). At each Additional Closing, [INVESTOR] shall deliver to the Company, via wire transfer to an account designated by the Company immediately available Dollars equal to $100,000.00 and $50,000.00, as applicable, and the Company shall deliver to [INVESTOR] its Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in such amount in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Upon satisfaction of the covenants and conditions set forth in Section 2.4 and herein for the Additional Closings, the Additional Closings shall occur at the offices of Sullivan and Worcester LLP, 1633 Broadway, New York, NY 10019 or such other location as the parties shall mutually agree, and may by agreement be undertaken remotely by electronic exchange of documentation for the Additional Closings.

 

 

 

 

(3)The definition of the term “Notes” under Section 1.1 of the Purchase Agreement shall be amended to include a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note of the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to [INVESTOR] on the date hereof, issued by the Company to [INVESTOR] as of the date hereof.

 

(4)All interests, fees and liquidated damages accruing after October 1, 2023 under the Notes originally executed on October 5, 2022 shall be waived until further notice is provided by [INVESTOR] to the Company.

 

(5)Sections 2.3(a)(viii) and 2.3(b)(iv) of the Purchase Agreement are hereby deleted and the Letter Agreement concerning Post-Closing Deliverables dated October 5, 2022 is hereby terminated.

 

(6)Solely with respect to the Notes issued at the Additional Closings, the Purchase Agreement and the related Transaction Documents shall be amended as follows:

 

a.The definitions of “Business Combination” and “Exempt Issuance” under Section 1.1 of the Purchase Agreement shall each be deleted in their entirety and replaced with the definitions of the corresponding defined terms under Section 1.1 of the Exchange Agreement.

 

b.The definitions of “PIPE” shall be deleted.

 

c.Section 4.1(d) of the Purchase Agreement shall be deleted.

 

d.Section 4.11 of the Purchase Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with Section 4.11 of the Exchange Agreement.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Letter Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any Events of Default that have occurred under the Purchase Agreement and other Transaction Documents and are or may be continuing on and as of the date hereof.

 

The Company hereby reaffirms all such representations, warranties, obligations and liabilities and agrees that such representations, warranties, obligations and liabilities shall remain in full force and effect.

 

The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Letter Agreement shall not, except as expressly provided herein, (A) waive or modify any right, power or remedy under, or any other provision of, any of the Transaction Documents or (B) commit or otherwise obligate Investor to enter into or consider entering into any other amendment, waiver or modification of any of the Transaction Documents.

The Purchaser may continue to convert the principal amounts to be prepaid under this Note until the date of consummation of such Subsequent Offering; provided, that, if the Company does not provide such notice, in addition to all other remedies provided under the Transaction Documents for failure to comply with this Note, the Purchaser may refuse such payment in whole or in part and convert the Note in the amount of such payment refused and, in its sole discretion, apply such payment to other outstanding Obligations, if any. This Section 2(b) is merely a requirement to redeem this Note and not an authorization to consummate any Subsequent Offering otherwise prohibited by the Transaction Documents.

 

c)            Voluntary Prepayments. So long as no Event of Default exists, at any time upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser (which notice shall be a Transaction Document and constitute an irrevocable agreement to pay such amount on the date set forth on such notice) stating the proposed date and proposed principal amount of such prepayment, but subject to the Purchaser’s conversion rights set forth herein, the Company may prepay any portion of the principal amount of this Note, any accrued and unpaid interest, and any other amounts due under this Note. If the Company exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser in immediately available Dollars an amount equal to the Optional Prepayment Amount. The Purchaser may continue to convert the principal amount of the Note to be prepared after the date notice of the prepayment is given until the date it receives such prepayment.

 

d)            Interest. The Company shall pay interest to the Purchaser on the aggregate then outstanding principal amount of this Note and any other Obligation owing that does not expressly provide for any other rate of interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum from the date this Note is issued (or in the case of any other Obligation, from the date such obligation becomes due and payable) until all such principal amount and all other outstanding Obligations are paid in full in cash in immediately available Dollars (including all accrued and unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts which may become due under any Transaction Document). Commencing on the Original Issue Date, and continuing on the 1st day of each of the following six (6) successive months thereafter, all interest payments hereunder will be payable in cash, in immediately available Dollars, and thereafter, subject to the Equity Conditions on the date of such repayment, in cash or in Common Stock in the Company’s discretion at the Amortization Conversion Price but in no event shall Common Stock be used to make any such interest payment if the Amortization Conversion Price is less than $2.00. Accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on each Conversion Date, prepayment date, and on the Maturity Date, or as otherwise set forth herein. Upon an Event of Default, the interest rate set forth hereunder shall increase as provided in Section 6(b) of this Note. All payments of interest shall reduce the Minimum Interest Amount, and any remaining Minimum Interest Amount shall be due and payable upon the early repayment of principal as provided hereunder to compensate the Holder for a lesser profit in case of early repayment and for the internal and external work and expenditure of time and money involved in the evaluation, preparation and closing of the Transaction Documents. The Minimum Interest Amount is not to be construed to cover or be applied against any indemnity or any out-of-pocket fees, costs or expenses incurred in any action to collect any Obligation or to foreclose any Lien securing the same. This provision shall not affect or limit the holder’s rights or remedies with respect to any Event of Default.

 

e)            Late Fee. The Company shall pay a late fee (each a “Late Fee”) on any amount that is required to be paid under any Transaction Document and is not paid within three (3) Business Days of becoming due, at an amount equal to the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum of such amount or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, in cash. These Late Fees are to cover the extra internal expenses and inconvenience involved in handling delinquent payments and is not to be construed to cover or be applied against any indemnity or any out-of-pocket fees, costs or expenses incurred in any action to collect any Obligation or to foreclose any Lien securing the same. This provision shall not affect or limit the holder’s rights or remedies with respect to any Event of Default.

f)            Interest and Fee Calculations and Payment Provisions. All payments made under any Transaction Document, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Transaction Document, shall be made in cash, in immediately available Dollars without set off or counterclaim. Interest and fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve (12) thirty (30) calendar day periods, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the applicable period and shall accrue daily; provided, that the Minimum Interest Amount shall be deemed to be fully earned and accrued on the Original Issue Date and payable as provided in this Note. Interest hereunder will be paid to the initial Purchaser or, if the Company has received notice of any transfer thereof signed by the initial Purchaser or any successive Purchasers, to the Person in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of this Note (the “Note Register”). No prepayment may be made hereunder without the notice required hereunder or without payment of the Mandatory Prepayment Amount. The Purchaser shall have the option to refuse or accept, in its sole discretion, any attempted prepayment made without the notice required hereunder or any attempted prepayment that does not appear to include the full Mandatory Prepayment Amount when required. In addition, regardless of the intended characterization of the Company of any payment, the Purchaser shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to recharacterize or apply any portion of such prepayment, including recharacterizing a payment as a smaller prepayment of principal together with payment of the remainder of the Mandatory Prepayment Amount to account for a payment of the Mandatory Prepayment Amount. The Purchaser may apply any payment made under any Transaction Document to any outstanding Obligation, in its sole discretion. The Company hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payment in respect to any amount due under the Transaction Documents or, after any Event of Default, any proceeds of Collateral thereunder. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be. Each determination by the Purchaser of an amount of interest or fee due hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

Section 3.      Registration of Transfers and Exchanges

 

a)            Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Purchaser surrendering the same. No service charge will be payable for such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

b)            Investment Representations. This Note has been issued subject to certain investment representations of the original Purchaser and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with applicable federal and state securities Regulations.

 

c)            Reliance on Note Register. The initial Purchaser is listed herein. Prior to due presentment for transfer to the Company of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the Person in whose name this Note is duly registered, upon receipt of appropriate signed notice from the Person previously listed on the Note Register as owner hereof, on the Note Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

Section 4.      Conversion

 

a)            Voluntary Conversion. At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Note is no longer outstanding, this Note shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Purchaser, at any time and from time to time (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(d)). The Purchaser shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the principal amount of this Note to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. To effect conversions hereunder, the Purchaser shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Purchaser and the Company shall maintain a Conversion Schedule, containing at a minimum the information shown on Schedule 1, and showing historically, among other things, the principal amounts converted and the date of such conversions. The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1) Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Purchaser shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.

 

10 

 

 

b)            Conversion Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $10.00 per Conversion Share (the “Fixed Conversion Price”). All such foregoing determinations will be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the Common Stock during such measuring period. The Fixed Conversion Price shall be rounded down to the nearest $0.01 and in no event lower than the Floor Price. Nothing herein shall limit a Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6 and the Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Purchaser from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable Regulation. If, on a Variable Conversion Price Measurement Date, the Common Stock has closed below $10.00, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be equal to the greater of (x) 95% of the average lowest VWAP in the ten (10) Trading Days immediately prior to each Variable Conversion Price Measurement Date and (y) the Floor Price.

 

c)Mechanics of Conversion.

 

i.            Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted and any accrued and unpaid interest, including interest, to be converted by (y) the Fixed Conversion Price.

 

ii.            Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than two (2) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Purchaser a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which, on or after the date on which such Conversion Shares are eligible to be sold under Rule 144 without the need for current public information and the Company has received an opinion of counsel to such effect, which such opinion must be acceptable to the Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion (which opinion the Company shall be responsible for obtaining at its sole cost and expense) shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions, representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Note. All certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 4(c) shall be delivered electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. If the Conversion Date is prior to the date on which such Conversion Shares are eligible to be sold under Rule 144 without the need for current public information, or there is no registration statement in effect covering the Conversion Shares, the Conversion Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in the following form, as appropriate:

 

“THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

 

11 

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing on such date that the Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 subject to current public information requirements, the Company, upon request and at the sole cost and expense of the Company, shall obtain a legal opinion that is acceptable to the Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion, to allow for such sales under Rule 144.

 

iii.            Failure to Deliver Certificates. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Purchaser by the Share Delivery Date, the Purchaser shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Purchaser any original Note delivered to the Company and the Purchaser shall promptly return to the Company the Common Stock certificates issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.

 

iv.            Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Purchaser to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Purchaser or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of Regulations by the Purchaser or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Purchaser in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Purchaser. In the event the Purchaser of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal or interest amount hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Purchaser or anyone associated or affiliated with the Purchaser has been engaged in any violation of Regulation, Contractual Obligation or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Purchaser, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought. If the injunction is not granted, the Company shall promptly comply with all conversion obligations herein. If the injunction is obtained, the Company must post a surety bond for the benefit of the Purchaser in the amount of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Purchaser to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of seeking such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares (or, where applicable and required hereunder, cash), upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Purchaser such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) by the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser, in cash, in immediately available Dollars, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, $1,000 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after such Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Purchaser rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6 for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Purchaser from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable Regulation.

v.            Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Purchaser, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Purchaser such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Purchaser is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Purchaser’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Purchaser of the Conversion Shares which the Purchaser was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash in immediately available Dollars to the Purchaser (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Purchaser) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Purchaser’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Purchaser was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Purchaser, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Purchaser the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). For example, if the Purchaser purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Purchaser $1,000. The Purchaser shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Purchaser in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Purchaser’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

vi.            Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal the Reserve Amount for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note and payment of interest on this Note, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Purchaser (and the other holders of the Notes). The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall calculate and readjust the Reserve Amount on the first Business Day of each month so long as this Note is outstanding,

 

vii.            Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in immediately available Dollars in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Fixed Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

viii.            Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Purchaser hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided, that, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Purchaser of this Note so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion.

d)            Purchaser’s Conversion Limitations. The Company shall not effect any conversion of principal or interest of this Note, and a Purchaser shall not have the right to convert any principal or interest of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Purchaser (together with the Purchaser’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser’s Affiliates, the “Attribution Parties”) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Purchaser and its Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Purchaser or any of its Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other Securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including any other Notes) beneficially owned by the Purchaser or any of its Attribution Parties.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(d) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other Securities owned by the Purchaser together with any Attribution Parties) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Purchaser, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Purchaser’s determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other Securities owned by the Purchaser together with any Attribution Parties) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Purchaser will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Purchaser may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Purchaser, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Purchaser the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of Securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Purchaser or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note held by the Purchaser. The Purchaser, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d); provided, that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note held by the Purchaser and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

 

14 

 

 

e)            Regulatory Conversion Cap. The Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the number of shares which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (i) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount or (ii) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Purchasers. Until such approval or such written opinion is obtained, no Purchaser shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (A) the Exchange Cap as of the proposed date of issuance of such shares multiplied by (B) the quotient of (1) the aggregate original Principal Amount of this Note issued to the applicable Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement on such Closing Date divided by (2) the aggregate original Principal Amount of the Notes issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement on such Closing Date (with respect to any such Purchaser, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any portion of this Note, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Purchaser’s Exchange Cap Allocation with respect to such portion of this Note so transferred, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation so allocated to such transferee. Upon conversion in full of a holder’s Note, the difference (if any) between such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder upon such holder’s conversion in full of this Note shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of this Note on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying this Note hen held by each such holder of this Note. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4(d) (the “Exchange Cap Shares”) to a Purchaser, the Company shall pay immediately available Dollars to such Purchaser in exchange for the redemption of such portion of this Note held by the Purchaser that are not convertible into such Exchange Cap Shares at a price equal to the sum of (A) the product of (1) such number of Exchange Cap Shares and (2) the Closing Sale Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date such Purchaser delivers the applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such Exchange Cap Shares to the Company, and (B) to the extent such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of Exchange Cap Shares, brokerage commissions, if any, of such Purchaser incurred in connection therewith.

 

Section 5.      Certain Adjustments

 

a)            Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a Restricted Payment payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, this Note), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b)            Lower Priced Transaction. So long as this Note remains outstanding , the Company shall not enter into any financing transaction (other than with respect to an Exempt Issuance) pursuant to which the Company sells its Securities at a price lower than the Floor Price without the written consent of the Purchaser.

 

c)            [Reserved.]

 

15 

 

 

d)            Pro Rata Distributions. While this Note is outstanding, the Company shall not declare or make any Restricted Payment (or rights to receive Restricted Payments).  In the event that the Note is repaid at the time of such Restricted Payment, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to participate in such Restricted Payment.  If the Purchaser and the Company mutually agree, and the Note is not repaid at the time of such Restricted Payment, then the Purchaser shall be entitled to participate in such Restricted Payment to the same extent that the Purchaser would have participated therein if the Purchaser had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Note (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Restricted Payment, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Restricted Payment (provided, that to the extent that the Purchaser's right to participate in any such Restricted Payment would result in the Purchaser exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Purchaser shall not be entitled to participate in such Restricted Payment to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Restricted Payment to such extent) and the portion of such Restricted Payment shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Purchaser until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Purchaser exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

e)            Fundamental Transaction. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Purchaser, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(c) on the conversion of this Note), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(c) on the conversion of this Note). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Fixed Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the Securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Purchaser shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the Obligations of the Company, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and approved by the Purchaser (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Note, deliver to the Purchaser in exchange for this Note a Security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Note immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Purchaser. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the Obligations of the Company with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

f)            Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.

 

g)            Notice to the Purchaser.

 

i.            Adjustment to Fixed Conversion Price. Whenever the Fixed Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of Section 5(a), the Company shall promptly deliver to each Purchaser a notice setting forth the Fixed Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary, no adjustment pursuant to this Section 5 shall increase the Fixed Conversion Price other than proportional increases upon the occurrence of a reverse stock split in accordance with Section 5(a).

 

ii.            Notice to Allow Conversion by Purchaser. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution or other Restricted Payment in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other Securities, cash or property or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Note, and shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser at its last address as it shall appear upon the Note Register, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, Restricted Payment, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for Securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Purchaser shall remain entitled to convert this Note during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

h)            Variable Rate Transaction. So long as two-thirds of the original aggregate principal amount of this Note remains outstanding, the Company shall not directly or indirectly (i)(A) consummate any exchange of any Indebtedness and/or Securities of the Company for any other Securities and/or Indebtedness of the Company, (B) cooperate with any person to effect any exchange of Securities and/or Indebtedness of the Company in connection with a proposed sale of such Securities from an existing holder of such Securities to any other unrelated Person), and/or (C) reduce and/or otherwise change the exercise price, conversion price and/or exchange price of any Stock Equivalent of the Company and/or amend any non-convertible Indebtedness of the Company to make it convertible into Securities of the Company, (ii) issue or sell any of its Securities either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of, or quotations for, Common Stock, and/or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange rate and/or price that is subject to being reset on one or more occasions either (1) at some future date after the initial issuance of such Securities or (2) upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock, and/or (iii) enter into any agreement (including an “at-the-market offering”) whereby the Company may sell Securities at a future determined price. Any transaction contemplated in this Section 5(h), shall be referred to as a “Variable Rate Transaction”. The Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any Variable Rate Transaction (without the need for the posting of any bond or similar item, which the Company hereby expressly and irrevocably waives the requirement for), which remedy shall be in addition to any right of the Purchaser to collect damages. A “Variable Rate Transaction” shall exclude an “Equity Line of Credit” or similar agreement, or a Variable Priced Equity Linked Instrument and any of the transactions set forth on Schedule 1.1 of the Disclosure Schedules to the Exchange Agreement. For purposes hereof, “Equity Line of Credit” means any transaction involving a written agreement between the Company and an investor or underwriter whereby the Company has the right to “put” its Securities to the investor or underwriter over an agreed period of time and at future determined price or price formula (other than customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights or “weighted average” or “full-ratchet” anti-dilution provisions or in connection with fixed-price rights offerings and similar transactions that are not Variable Priced Equity Linked Instruments), and “Variable Priced Equity Linked Instruments” means: (A) any Stock Equivalent convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or carry the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (1) at any conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such Stock Equivalent, or (2) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset on more than one occasion at some future date at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security due to a change in the market price of the Company’s Common Stock since date of initial issuance (other than customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights or “weighted average” or “full-ratchet” anti-dilution provisions or in connection with fixed-price rights offerings and similar transactions), and (B) any amortizing convertible Stock Equivalent which amortizes prior to its maturity date, where the Company is required or has the option to (or any investor in such transaction has the option to require the Company to) make such amortization payments in shares of Common Stock which are valued at a price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such Stock Equivalent (whether or not such payments in stock are subject to certain equity conditions).

 

i)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of this Section 5 or the subsections set forth in this Section 5 shall apply to the Business Combination Transactions.

 

Section 6.      NEGATIVE COVENANTS

- 22 -

 

 

(b)            Each Holder agrees, severally but not jointly, to the imprinting, for as long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on all of the Securities in the following form:

 

[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [CONVERTIBLE][EXERCISABLE]] HAS NOT [HAVE] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.  THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [CONVERSION] [EXERCISE] OF THIS SECURITY]] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

 

DHAC acknowledges and agrees that each Holder may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of its Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Holder may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties.  Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of DHAC and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith.  Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge.  At DHAC’s expense, DHAC will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.

 

(c)            Certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)): (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act; (ii) following any sale of such Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144; (iii) if such Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144; or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). DHAC shall upon request of any Holder and at the sole expense of DHAC cause its counsel (or at such Holder’s option, exercised in its sole discretion, counsel selected by such Holder) to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after any of the events described in (i)-(iv) in the preceding sentence if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of any legend (including that described in Section 4.1(b)), with a copy to such Holder, its broker and the Collateral Agent. If all or any portion of the Notes is converted at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Conversion Shares, or if such Conversion Shares may be sold under Rule 144 or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Conversion Shares shall be issued free of all legends. DHAC agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than two (2) Trading Days following the delivery by any Holder to DHAC or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Conversion Shares, issued with a restrictive legend (such second (2nd) Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date” of such Securities of such Holder), instruct the Transfer Agent to deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. DHAC may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.1. Certificates for the Conversion Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to such Holder by crediting the account of such Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Holder.

(b)            At any time during the period commencing from the six (6)-month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all of the Securities have been sold or may be sold without the requirement for DHAC to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if DHAC shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) (a “Public Information Failure”) then, in addition to any Holder’s other available remedies, DHAC shall pay to each Holder, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell its Securities, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate original principal amount of such Holder’s Securities on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required  for such Holder to transfer any Securities pursuant to Rule 144.  The payments to which such Holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.”  Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured.  In the event DHAC fails to make Public Information Failure Payments when required by the preceding sentence, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 2.0% per month (accruing and due daily and prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit each Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and each Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief and recovery of loss profits.

 

4.4            Integration.  DHAC shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

 

4.5            Conversion Procedures. The form of “Notice of Conversion” (each a “Notice of Conversion”) included in any Note, of any Holder sets forth the totality of the procedures required of such Holder in order to convert such Note. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required in order to convert any Note. DHAC shall honor conversions of any Note, and shall deliver the shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

 

4.6            Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by DHAC or, with the consent of DHAC, any other Person, that any Holder is an “acquiring person” (or similar or equivalent term) under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by DHAC, or that any Holder could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between DHAC and any Holder.

 

4.7            Material Non-Public Information.

There has been no public announcement of a pending or proposed Fundamental Transaction or Change of Control Transaction (as each such term is defined in the Notes) that has not been consummated. No Holder has been provided by any Company Party or any Related Party of any Company Party any information, that constitutes, or may constitute, material non-public information with respect to any Company Party.

Additionally, if any Taxes (excluding Taxes imposed upon or measured solely by the net income of the recipient of any payment made under any Transaction Document, but including any intangibles tax, stamp tax, recording tax or franchise tax) shall be imposed on any Company Party or Holder Party, whether or not lawfully payable, on account of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any of the other Transaction Documents, or the creation or repayment of any of obligations hereunder, by reason of any applicable Regulations now or hereafter in effect, each Company shall, jointly and severally, pay (or shall promptly reimburse such Holder Party for the payment of) all such Taxes, including any interest, penalties, expenses and other Losses with respect thereto), and will indemnify and hold the Holder Parties harmless from and against all Losses arising therefrom or in connection therewith. The foregoing indemnities shall not apply to Losses incurred by any Holder Party as a result of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Upon a reverse stock split or increase in the authorized shares of Common Stock of DHAC, DHAC will immediately instruct the Transfer Agent to reserve at least the Reserve Amount after giving effect to such stock split or increase. This reserve amount shall be updated monthly.

 

(b)            If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than 100% of the Reserve Amount on such date, then DHAC’s Board of Directors shall amend DHAC’s Certificate of Incorporation (or equivalent governing document) to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to 100% of the Reserve Amount at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 75th day after such date.

(d)            Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against any Company Party to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.11 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.

 

(e)            For so long as any Note remains outstanding, if DHAC has, on or prior to the date of this Agreement, entered into, or shall in the future enter into, any agreement with any purchaser or holder of any securities of DHAC, by providing such purchaser or holder with any terms that are more favorable than the terms available to the Holders and set out in the Transaction Documents as of the date hereof, DHAC shall notify each Holder of such terms in writing on or before the date that is 5 Trading Days after the date such agreement with such purchaser or holder is executed or agreed to by DHAC, and each Holder shall have the right to elect in writing within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice to elect to have such terms apply to such Transaction Documents.

 

4.12            Acknowledgment Regarding Holders’ Other Trading Activities. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except for this Section 4.12), it is understood and acknowledged by DHAC that (i) no Holder has been asked by DHAC to agree, nor has any Holder agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling Securities of DHAC or from entering into Short Sales or Derivatives based on securities issued by DHAC or to hold the Securities for any specified term, (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any Holder, specifically including Short Sales or Derivatives, before or after the Closing or the closing of any future private placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of DHAC’s publicly-traded securities, (iii) each Holder, and counter-parties in Derivatives to which any Holder is a party, directly or indirectly, may presently have a “short” position in the Common Stock and (iv) no Holder shall be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any Derivative. DHAC further understands and acknowledges that (y) each Holder may engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, and (z) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders' equity interests in DHAC at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. DHAC acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities and Derivatives do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

 

4.13            Right of First Refusal.

 

(a)            For a period of three (3) years commencing on the Closing Date, upon any issuance by DHAC (or any of its Subsidiaries) of Common Stock, Stock Equivalents or other Indebtedness or other securities, whether for cash consideration or a combination of units thereof (excluding an equity line of credit) (a “Subsequent Financing”), each Holder shall have the right to participate up to its Pro Rata Portion (measured against all Holders) of a percentage of such Subsequent Financing equal to, in the aggregate for all Holders, 35% (the “Participation Maximum”), on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing.

 

(b)            At least one (1) Trading Day (four (4) hours in case of a Subsequent Financing structured as a public offering or as an “overnight” deal or other similar transaction) prior to the closing of a Subsequent Financing, DHAC shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask such Holder if it wants to review the details of such financing (each additional notice containing such details, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”). Upon the request of any Holder for a Subsequent Financing Notice, and only upon such a request, DHAC shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Holder. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected, the Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Participation Maximum of such Holder, an inquiry as to whether such Holder is willing to participate above their Pro Rata Portion (and what is the maximum amount such Holder is willing to commit), and shall include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto as an attachment.

 

- 27 -

 

 

(c)            If any Holder desires to participate in such Subsequent Financing, such Holder must provide written notice to DHAC within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of the Subsequent Financing Notice (four (4) hours in the event of a Subsequent Financing structured as a public offering or as an “overnight” deal or other similar transaction) that such Holder is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the maximum amount for which such Holder would be willing to participate if it is allocated to it (up to the Participation Maximum), and representing and warranting that the Holder has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.

 

(d)            At first, each Holder shall first have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Portion (measured against all Holders) of the Participation Maximum. If some Holders have declined to participate in such Subsequent Financing, and some portion of the Participation Maximum remains unallocated, each Holder having agreed to participate above its current allocation shall be allocated its Pro Rata Portion (measured against all Holder having so agreed) of the next dollar – and so on and so forth until the Participation Maximum shall be fully allocated or all Holders shall have been given their desired allocation in full.

 

(e)            The transaction documents related to any Subsequent Financing applicable to any Holder participating in such Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision whereby such Holder shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the Securities purchased hereunder. In addition, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any requirement to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or other modification or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the number of Holders required hereunder to consent to this amendment, termination, waiver, consent, release or other modification.

 

(f)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.13 and unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Holder, DHAC shall either confirm in writing to each Holder that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such that each Holder will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the fifth (5h) Trading Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by such fifth (5th) Trading Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by the Holder, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the Holder shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to DHAC or any of its Subsidiaries.

(ii)            will not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Transaction Documents that the Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Holders (or such other number or percentage of the Holders as will be expressly provided for herein or in the other Transaction Documents); provided, that the Collateral Agent will not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Transaction Document or any applicable statutes, rules, ordinances, regulations guidance documents, contract terms, and other requirements of all applicable governmental authorities, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any bankruptcy or insolvency; and

The Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and will not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder that by its terms must be fulfilled to its satisfaction, the Collateral Agent may make such determination in its sole discretion, and in determining compliance with any condition hereunder that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Holder, the Collateral Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Holder unless the Collateral Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Holder prior to the issuance of the Notes.

(a)            The Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Holders and the Companies, which notice shall set forth the effective date of such resignation (the “Resignation Effective Date”), such date not to be earlier than the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of such notice. The Required Holders and the Companies shall mutually agree upon a successor to the Collateral Agent. If the Required Holders and the Companies are unable to so mutually agree and no successor shall have been appointed within twenty-five (25) days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may (but will not be obligated to), on behalf of the Holders, appoint a successor Collateral Agent it shall designate (in its reasonable discretion after consultation with the Companies and the Required Holders). Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation will become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

 

(b)            With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring Collateral Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Holders under any of the Transaction Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent will continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Collateral Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Collateral Agent will instead be made by or to each Holder directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Holders appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided for above.

5.7            Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent and Other Holders. Each Holder acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Holder or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Holder also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Holder or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it will from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

In case of the pendency of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Company, the Collateral Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes will then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Collateral Agent has made any demand on the Company) will be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 

(a)            to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and all other obligations that are owing and unpaid hereunder or under any other Transaction Document and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Holders and the Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Holders and the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Holders and the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

(b)            to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

 

Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make any payments of the type described above in this Section 5.8 to the Collateral Agent and, in the event that the Collateral Agent consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Collateral Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

 

5.9            Indemnification. Each Holder agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and each of its Related Parties (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), from and against such Holder’s aggregate ratable share (based on the principal amount of the Notes held by the Holders) of any and all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Collateral Agent or any of its Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; provided, that no Holder shall be liable for any portion of such Losses resulting from the Collateral Agent’s or such Related Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, each Holder agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent and its Related Parties promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Company or another Company Party.

 

5.10            Collateral Matters; Appointment of Collateral Agent under other Transaction Documents.

 

(a)            Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.8, the Holders irrevocably agree as follows:

 

(i)            the Collateral Agent is authorized, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Transaction Document (A) on the date when all obligations have been satisfied in full in cash (other than contingent obligations as to which no claims have been asserted), (B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Transaction Documents, and

 

- 32 -

 

 

(ii)            Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, each Holder will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of Collateral.

 

(b)            The Collateral Agent will not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Obligor in connection therewith, nor will the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Holders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

 

(c)            Each Holder hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as its collateral agent under each of the Transaction Documents and agrees that, in so acting, the Collateral Agent will have all of the rights, protections, exculpations, indemnities and other benefits provided to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and hereby authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent, on behalf of such Holder and all Holders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any of the Holder, from time to time to (i) take any action with respect to any collateral or any Transaction Document which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the liens on the collateral granted pursuant to any such Transaction Document or protect and preserve the Collateral Agent’s ability to enforce the liens or realize upon the collateral, (ii) act as collateral agent for each Holder that is a secured party for purposes of acquiring, holding, enforcing and perfecting all Liens created by the Transaction Documents and all other purposes stated therein, (iii) enter into non-disturbance or similar agreements in connection with licensing agreements and arrangements permitted by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and (iv) otherwise to take or refrain from taking any and all action that the Collateral Agent shall deem necessary or advisable in fulfilling its role as Collateral Agent under any of the Transaction Documents.

 

ARTICLE VI      MISCELLANEOUS

 

6.1            Termination and Survival. This Agreement may be terminated by each Holder, as to the Holder’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Companies and the other Holders, by written notice to the Companies and the other Holders, if the Closing has not occurred on or before November 8, 2024. Termination of this Agreement will not affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties) prior to such termination. The representations and warranties, covenants and other provisions hereof shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities. Notwithstanding any termination of any Transaction Document, the reimbursement and indemnities to which the Holder Parties are entitled under the provisions of any Transaction Document shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Holder Parties against events arising after such termination as well as before.

 

6.2            Fees and Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated or any Securities shall be purchased, each Company agrees to pay promptly, or as indicated below, to each Holder Party, or reimburse each Holder Party for, the following:

 

(a)            all the actual and reasonable costs, fees and expenses of negotiation, preparation, execution and closing of the Transaction Documents and the purchase and sale of the Securities in connection therewith and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on or about the Closing Date, including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to such Holder Party in connection therewith; provided, that such reimbursement obligation shall not exceed $10,000 for the Collateral Agent and $50,000 for [INVESTOR] and its Related Parties, in the aggregate;

 

(b)            all the costs, fees and expenses of preparation, printing and distribution of any registration statement for the Securities or of the Transfer Agent (including any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by DHAC and any Notice of Conversion delivered by any Holder) and all other costs and expenses (including stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied) incurred in connection with the delivery to or conversion by, any Holder of any Securities or the Conversion Shares;

 

(c)            all the actual and reasonable costs, fees and expenses of creating and perfecting Liens in favor of such Holder Party, pursuant to any Transaction Document, including costs associated with any Intellectual Property Security Agreement or Control Agreement, UCC fees, other filing and recording fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, search fees, title insurance premiums and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to such Holder Party;

 

- 33 -

 

 

(d)            all the actual and reasonable costs, fees and expenses of administration of the Transaction Documents and preparation, execution and closing of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto, including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to such Holder Party in connection therewith and in connection with any other documents or matters requested by such Company Party (including through agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors) or otherwise prepared or delivered in connection with any Transaction Document;

 

(e)            all the actual and reasonable costs, fees, expenses and disbursements of any auditors, accountants, consultants or appraisers used in connection with the Transaction Documents;

 

(f)            all the actual and reasonable costs, fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any appraisers, consultants, advisors and agents employed or retained by such Holder Party and its counsel) in connection with the inspection, verification, custody or preservation of any collateral, to the extent required or permitted under any Transaction Document; and

 

(g)            all costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel) and costs of settlement, incurred by any Holder in enforcing any obligation owed hereunder of or in collecting any payments due from any Company Party hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents (including in connection with the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any collateral or the enforcement of any guaranty) or in connection with any negotiations, reviews, refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder, including in the nature of a “work out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings.

 

The foregoing shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit, any other provisions of the Transaction Documents regarding indemnification and costs and expenses to be paid by the Company Parties.

 

6.3            Modifications and Signatures. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. Any modification effected in accordance with accordance with this Section 6.3 shall be binding upon each Holder and holder of Securities and each Company.

 

(a)            Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain and constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior negotiations, agreements, and understandings, whether written or oral, of the parties hereto, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents.

 

(b)            Amendments. No amendment, modification or termination of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be effective without the written consent of each Company and the Required Holders (or such other number of Holders as expressly stated in other provisions of the Transaction Documents); provided, that (i) if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Holder (or group of Holders), the consent of holders of a majority of the principal amount of the Notes held by such disproportionately impacted Holder (or group of Holders) shall also be required and (ii) this clause (b) may only be modified with the consent of all Holders. No waiver or consent shall be effective against any party unless given in writing and then any such waiver shall then be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. Where the consent or waiver of the Holders generally (and not each Holder) is required, it may be given by the Required Holders.

 

(c)            Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure solely to the benefit of the Company Parties, the Holder Parties, and their respective successors and, if permitted, assigns; provided, that the Company Parties may not assign this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the Required Holder’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void. Unless otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document, each Holder may sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, or any right or remedy under, the Securities and the Transaction Documents without the consent of the Company Parties; provided, that any transferee of the Securities shall agree in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Holder” (and any attempt to effect such transfer without securing such agreement shall be null and void).

 

- 34 -

 

 

(d)            No Waiver by Course of Dealing. No notice to or demand on any Company Party, whether or not in any Proceeding, pursuant to any Transaction Document shall entitle any Company Party to any other or further notice (except as specifically required hereunder or under any other Transaction Document) or demand in similar or other circumstances. The failure by any Holder Party at any time or times to require strict performance by any Company Party of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the granting of any waiver or indulgence shall not waive, affect or otherwise diminish any right of any Holder Party thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance with such provision, shall not affect or be a waiver under any other provision of any Transaction Document except as specifically mentioned and shall not constitute a course of dealing by such Holder Party at variance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and therefore, among other things, shall not require further notice by such Holder Party of its intent to require strict adherence to the terms of such Transaction Document in the future). Any such actions shall not in any way affect the ability of each Holder Party, in its discretion, to exercise any rights available to it under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or under applicable Regulations.

 

(e)            Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. In proving this Agreement in any judicial proceedings, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom such enforcement is sought.

 

(f)            Electronic Signatures. Each party agrees that the electronic signatures, whether digital or encrypted, of the parties included in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document are intended to authenticate this writing and to have the same force and effect as manual signatures. Electronic signature means any electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with a record and executed and adopted by a party with the intent to sign such record, including facsimile or email electronic signatures. The Borrower expressly agrees that this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents are “transferable records” as defined in applicable Regulations relating to electronic transaction and that it may be created, authenticated, stored, transmitted and transferred in a manner consistent with and permitted by such applicable Regulations.

 

6.4            Notices.

 

(a)            All notices, requests, demands, and other communications to either party hereto or given under any Transaction Document shall be in writing (including electronic mail transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party at the physical address or send to the electronic mailing address set forth in the signature pages hereof or at such other physical address or electronic mailing address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to the Holders and the Companies in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4.

 

(b)            Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by mail, three (3) Trading Days after such communication is deposited in the U.S. Mail with first class postage pre-paid, addressed to the noticed party at the address specified herein, (ii) if by nationally recognized overnight courier, when delivered with receipt acknowledged in writing by the noticed party, (iii) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered with receipt acknowledged in writing by the noticed party or (iv) if given by electronic mail, when delivered (receipt by the sender of a receipt using the “return receipt” function or receipt of a reply email being presumptive evidence of receipt thereof); provided, that if such electronic mail is not sent prior to the last trading hour of the principal Trading Market of the Securities on a Trading Day, such electronic mail shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of trading on the next Trading Day for such principal Trading Market. Any written notice, request or demand that is not sent in conformity with the provisions hereof shall nevertheless be effective on the date that such notice, request or demand is actually received by the individual to whose attention at the noticed party such notice, request or demand is required to be sent.

 

- 35 -

 

 

6.5            Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Regulations and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Holder Party is hereby authorized by the Company Parties at any time or from time to time, without notice or demand to any Company Party or to any other Person, any such notice or demand being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, including indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other indebtedness or other amounts at any time held or owing by such Company Party to or for the credit or the account of any Company Party or any of their Related Parties against and on account of any amounts due by any Company Party or any of their Related Parties to any Holder Party under any Transaction Documents, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Holder Party shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Notes or any other Obligation shall have become due and payable and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured. If, as a result of such set off, appropriate or application, such Holder Party receives more than it is owed under any Transaction Document, it shall hold such amounts in trust for the other Holder Parties and transfer such amounts to the other Holder Parties ratably according to the amounts they are owed on the date of receipt.

 

6.6            Governing Law.

 

(a)            Except as otherwise expressly provided in any other Transaction Document, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all claims, Proceedings and matters arising hereunder or thereunder or related hereto or thereto are governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

(b)            Any Proceeding with respect to any Transaction Document may be brought exclusively in the Delaware State courts sitting in New Castle County or the federal courts of the United States of America for the District of Delaware and sitting in New Castle County. Each Company Party (i) accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (ii) irrevocably waives any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue, based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or that such jurisdiction is improper or otherwise that such party is not subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any Proceeding in those jurisdictions, (iii) irrevocably consents to the service of process of any court referred to above in any Proceeding by the mailing of copies of the process to the parties hereto as provided in Section 6.4 and (iv) agrees that a final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Service effected as provided in this manner will become effective ten (10) calendar days after the mailing of the process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in any Transaction Document shall affect the right of any Holder Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Regulations or commence Proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Company Party in any other jurisdiction.

 

6.7            Severability. Any provision of any Transaction Document being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of any Transaction Document or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. In addition, upon any determination that any such term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify the relevant Transaction Document so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

 

6.8            Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Holder exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and a Company Party does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Holder may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Companies, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

 

- 36 -

 

 

6.9            Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the applicable Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

 

6.10            Remedies.

 

(a)            In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each Holder (severally and not jointly) and each Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

(b)            If any Company Party shall fail to discharge any covenant, duty or obligation hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents, each Holder may, in its discretion at any time, for the account and at the expense of the Company Parties jointly and severally, pay any amount or do any act required of such Company Party hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by any Holder. All costs and expenses incurred by any Holder in connection with the taking of any such action shall be reimbursed to such Holder by the Company Party on demand with interest at the highest interest rate applicable to amounts due under the Notes of such Holder from the date such payment is made or such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of payment thereof. Any payment made or other action taken by any Holder under this clause (b) shall be without prejudice to any right to assert, and without waiver of, any breach of any Transaction Document and without prejudice to any Holder Party’s right to proceed thereafter as provided herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents.

 

(c)            The remedies provided in this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under any Transaction Document, whether at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).

 

(d)            Nothing in any Transaction Document shall limit the Holder Party’s rights to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by any Company Party to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

 

(e)            An Event of Default will cause irreparable harm to the Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. Therefore, in the event of any such Event of Default, the Holders shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

6.11            Marshaling; Payment Set Aside. No Holder Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of any Company Party or any other party or against or in payment of any amount due under any Transaction Document. To the extent that any Company Party makes a payment or payments to any Holder pursuant to any Transaction Document or any Holder Party enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to any Company Party, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

- 37 -

 

 

6.12            Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Company Party hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Holder in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of each Company Party under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”) and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that any Company Party may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by any Company Party to any Holder Party with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Holder Party to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the applicable Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Holder’s election.

 

6.13            Liquidated Damages. Any Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of such Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

 

6.14            Further Assurances. The Company Parties agree to take such further actions as each Holder shall reasonably request from time to time in connection herewith to evidence, give effect to or carry out this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

- 38 -

 

 

6.15            Interpretation. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of any Transaction Document. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document, if the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted under any Transaction Document shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day. As used in any Transaction Document, references to the singular will include the plural and vice versa and references to the masculine gender will include the feminine and neuter genders and vice versa, as appropriate. When used in any Transaction Document, unless otherwise expressly provided in such Transaction Document, (a) the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to such Transaction Document as a whole and not to any particular provision of such Transaction Document, (b) recital, article, section, subsection, schedule and exhibit references are references with respect to such Transaction Document unless otherwise specified, (c) any reference to any agreement shall include a reference to all recitals, appendices, exhibits and schedules to such agreement and, unless the prior written consent of any party is required hereunder and is not obtained, shall be a reference to such agreement as waived, amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and (d) any reference to a specific Regulation shall be to such Regulation, as modified from time to time, together with any successor or replacement Regulation, in each case as in effect at the time of determination. Unless the context otherwise requires, when used in any Transaction Document, the following terms have the following meaning: (u) “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import shall be deemed to include electronic signatures and the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Regulation, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other similar state Regulation based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, (v) “incur” means incur, create, make, issue, assume or otherwise become or remain directly or indirectly liable in respect of or responsible for, in each case whether directly or indirectly, as primary obligor or guarantor or endorser, and the terms “incurrence” and “incurred” and similar derivatives shall have correlative meanings, (w) “knowledge” of the any Company Party means the best knowledge of any officer, director or employee of such Company Party after due inquiry, (x) “including” means “including, without limitation,” (y) “asset” and “property” have the same meaning and mean, “collectively, all rights and interests in tangible and intangible assets and properties, whether real, personal or mixed and including cash, capital stock, revenues, accounts, leasehold interests, contract rights and other rights under Permits and Contractual Obligations” and (z) “documents” and “documentation” have the same meaning and mean “collectively, all documents, drafts, instruments, agreements, indentures, certificates, forms, opinions, powers of attorney, notices, summons, reports, financial statements and other writings, however evidenced, whether in physical or electronic form.” The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. All references in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to statutes and regulations shall include all amendments of same and implementing regulations and any successor statutes and regulations; to any instrument or agreement (including any of the Transaction Documents) shall include any and all modifications and supplements thereto and any and all restatements, extensions or renewals thereof to the extent such modifications, supplements, restatements, extensions or renewals of any such documents are permitted by the terms hereof and thereof. An Event of Default shall be deemed to exist at all times during the period commencing on the date that such Event of Default occurs to the date on which such Event of Default is waived in writing pursuant to the relevant Note or, with respect to any Default, is cured within any period of cure expressly provided in the relevant Note. Whenever in any provision of any Transaction Document, any Holder is authorized to take or decline to take any action (including making any determination) in the exercise of its “discretion,” such provision shall be understood to mean that such Holder may take or refrain to take such action in its sole discretion. References to times of the day in any Transaction Document shall refer to Eastern Time. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including,” the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding” and the word “through” means “to and including.” Time is of the essence of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. No provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any Governmental Authority by reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured, drafted or dictated such provision. “month” (but not “calendar month”) means each period from a date of determination to the day (including the Closing Date itself) in the next calendar month numerically-corresponding to such date (provided, that, if such calendar month does not have any such numerically-corresponding day, such numerically-corresponding day shall be deemed to be the last day of such calendar month).

 

6.16            Waiver of Jury Trial and Certain Other Rights.

 

(a)            The parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Regulations, any right that they may have to trial by jury of any claim or cause of action or in any Proceeding, directly or indirectly based upon or arising out of this Agreement or any Transaction Document (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party (a) certifies that no representative, agent, or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other parties would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this section.

 

(b)            Each Company Party acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to the Holders to enter into and accept this Agreement. Each Company Party has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial rights following consultation with such legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court. This Section 6.16 shall not restrict a party from exercising remedies under the UCC or from exercising pre-judgement remedies under applicable Regulations.

If the Company exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Company shall pay to the Holder in immediately available Dollars an amount equal to the Optional Prepayment Amount. The Holder may continue to convert the principal amount of the Note to be prepared after the date notice of the prepayment is given until the date it receives such prepayment.

 

d)          Interest. The Company shall pay interest to the Holder on the aggregate then outstanding principal amount of this Note and any other Obligation owing that does not expressly provide for any other rate of interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum from the date this Note is issued (or in the case of any other Obligation, from the date such obligation becomes due and payable) until all such principal amount and all other outstanding Obligations are paid in full in cash in immediately available Dollars (including all accrued and unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts which may become due under any Transaction Document). Commencing on the Original Issue Date, and continuing on the 1st day of each of the following six (6) successive months thereafter, all interest payments hereunder will be payable in cash, in immediately available Dollars, and thereafter, subject to the Equity Conditions on the date of such repayment, in cash or in Common Stock in the Company’s discretion at the Amortization Conversion Price but in no event shall Common Stock be used to make any such interest payment if the Amortization Conversion Price is less than $2.00. Accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on each Conversion Date, prepayment date, and on the Maturity Date, or as otherwise set forth herein. Upon an Event of Default, the interest rate set forth hereunder shall increase as provided in Section 6(b) of this Note. This provision shall not affect or limit the holder’s rights or remedies with respect to any Event of Default.

 

e)          Late Fee. The Company shall pay a late fee (each a “Late Fee”) on any amount that is required to be paid under any Transaction Document and is not paid within three (3) Business Days of becoming due, at an amount equal to the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum of such amount or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, in cash. These Late Fees are to cover the extra internal expenses and inconvenience involved in handling delinquent payments and is not to be construed to cover or be applied against any indemnity or any out-of-pocket fees, costs or expenses incurred in any action to collect any Obligation or to foreclose any Lien securing the same. This provision shall not affect or limit the holder’s rights or remedies with respect to any Event of Default.

f)          Interest and Fee Calculations and Payment Provisions. All payments made under any Transaction Document, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Transaction Document, shall be made in cash, in immediately available Dollars without set off or counterclaim. Interest and fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve (12) thirty (30) calendar day periods, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the applicable period and shall accrue daily. Interest hereunder will be paid to the initial Holder or, if the Company has received notice of any transfer thereof signed by the initial Holder or any successive Holders, to the Person in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of this Note (the “Note Register”). No prepayment may be made hereunder without the notice required hereunder or without payment of the Mandatory Prepayment Amount. The Holder shall have the option to refuse or accept, in its sole discretion, any attempted prepayment made without the notice required hereunder or any attempted prepayment that does not appear to include the full Mandatory Prepayment Amount when required. In addition, regardless of the intended characterization of the Company of any payment, the Holder shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to recharacterize or apply any portion of such prepayment, including recharacterizing a payment as a smaller prepayment of principal together with payment of the remainder of the Mandatory Prepayment Amount to account for a payment of the Mandatory Prepayment Amount. The Holder may apply any payment made under any Transaction Document to any outstanding Obligation, in its sole discretion. The Company hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payment in respect to any amount due under the Transaction Documents or, after any Event of Default, any proceeds of Collateral thereunder. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be. Each determination by the Holder of an amount of interest or fee due hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

Section 3.           Registration of Transfers and Exchanges

 

a)         Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be payable for such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

b)          Investment Representations. This Note has been issued subject to certain investment representations of the original Holder and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with applicable federal and state securities Regulations.

 

c)          Reliance on Note Register. The initial Holder is listed herein. Prior to due presentment for transfer to the Company of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the Person in whose name this Note is duly registered, upon receipt of appropriate signed notice from the Person previously listed on the Note Register as owner hereof, on the Note Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

Section 4.           Conversion

 

a)         Voluntary Conversion. At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Note is no longer outstanding, this Note shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(d)). The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the principal amount of this Note to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain a Conversion Schedule, containing at a minimum the information shown on Schedule 1, and showing historically, among other things, the principal amounts converted and the date of such conversions. The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1) Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.

 

 10 

 

 

b)          Conversion Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $10.00 per Conversion Share (the “Fixed Conversion Price”). All such foregoing determinations will be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the Common Stock during such measuring period. The Fixed Conversion Price shall be rounded down to the nearest $0.01 and in no event lower than the Floor Price. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6 and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable Regulation. If, on a Variable Conversion Price Measurement Date, the Common Stock has closed below $10.00, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be equal to the greater of (x) 95% of the average lowest VWAP in the ten (10) Trading Days immediately prior to each Variable Conversion Price Measurement Date and (y) the Floor Price.

 

c)Mechanics of Conversion.

 

i.                 Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted and any accrued and unpaid interest, including interest, to be converted by (y) the Fixed Conversion Price.

 

ii.                Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than two (2) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which, on or after the date on which such Conversion Shares are eligible to be sold under Rule 144 without the need for current public information and the Company has received an opinion of counsel to such effect, which such opinion must be acceptable to the Holder in its sole and absolute discretion (which opinion the Company shall be responsible for obtaining at its sole cost and expense) shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions, representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Note. All certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 4(c) shall be delivered electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. If the Conversion Date is prior to the date on which such Conversion Shares are eligible to be sold under Rule 144 without the need for current public information, or there is no registration statement in effect covering the Conversion Shares, the Conversion Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in the following form, as appropriate:

 

“THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

 

 11 

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing on such date that the Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 subject to current public information requirements, the Company, upon request and at the sole cost and expense of the Company, shall obtain a legal opinion that is acceptable to the Holder in its sole and absolute discretion, to allow for such sales under Rule 144.

 

iii.          Failure to Deliver Certificates. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.

 

iv.          Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of Regulations by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal or interest amount hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of Regulation, Contractual Obligation or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought. If the injunction is not granted, the Company shall promptly comply with all conversion obligations herein. If the injunction is obtained, the Company must post a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of seeking such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares (or, where applicable and required hereunder, cash), upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) by the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, in immediately available Dollars, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, $1,000 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after such Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6 for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable Regulation.

v.                Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash in immediately available Dollars to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

vi.                Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal the Reserve Amount for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note and payment of interest on this Note, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Notes). The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall calculate and readjust the Reserve Amount on the first Business Day of each month so long as this Note is outstanding,

 

vii.          Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in immediately available Dollars in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Fixed Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

viii.              Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided, that, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Note so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion.

d)          Holder’s Conversion Limitations. The Company shall not effect any conversion of principal or interest of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any principal or interest of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates, the “Attribution Parties”) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other Securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including any other Notes) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Attribution Parties.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(d) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other Securities owned by the Holder together with any Attribution Parties) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other Securities owned by the Holder together with any Attribution Parties) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of Securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder. The Holder, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d); provided, that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

 

 14 

 

 

e)          Regulatory Conversion Cap. The Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the number of shares which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (i) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount or (ii) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holders. Until such approval or such written opinion is obtained, no Holder shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (A) the Exchange Cap as of the proposed date of issuance of such shares multiplied by (B) the quotient of (1) the aggregate original Principal Amount of this Note issued to the applicable Holder pursuant to the Exchange Agreement on such Closing Date divided by (2) the aggregate original Principal Amount of the Notes issued to the Holders pursuant to the Exchange Agreement on such Closing Date (with respect to any such Holder, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any portion of this Note, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation with respect to such portion of this Note so transferred, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation so allocated to such transferee. Upon conversion in full of a holder’s Note, the difference (if any) between such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder upon such holder’s conversion in full of this Note shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of this Note on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying this Note hen held by each such holder of this Note. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4(d) (the “Exchange Cap Shares”) to a Holder, the Company shall pay immediately available Dollars to such Holder in exchange for the redemption of such portion of this Note held by the Holder that are not convertible into such Exchange Cap Shares at a price equal to the sum of (A) the product of (1) such number of Exchange Cap Shares and (2) the Closing Sale Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date such Holder delivers the applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such Exchange Cap Shares to the Company, and (B) to the extent such Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of Exchange Cap Shares, brokerage commissions, if any, of such Holder incurred in connection therewith.

 

Section 5.           Certain Adjustments

 

a)          Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a Restricted Payment payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, this Note), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b)          Lower Priced Transaction. So long as this Note remains outstanding, the Company shall not enter into any financing transaction (other than with respect to an Exempt Issuance) pursuant to which the Company sells its Securities at a price lower than the Floor Price without the written consent of the Holder.

 

c)          [Reserved.]

 

 15 

 

 

d)          Pro Rata Distributions. While this Note is outstanding, the Company shall not declare or make any Restricted Payment (or rights to receive Restricted Payments).  In the event that the Note is repaid at the time of such Restricted Payment, the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Restricted Payment.  If the Holder and the Company mutually agree, and the Note is not repaid at the time of such Restricted Payment, then the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Restricted Payment to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Note (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Restricted Payment, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Restricted Payment (provided, that to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Restricted Payment would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Restricted Payment to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Restricted Payment to such extent) and the portion of such Restricted Payment shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

e)          Fundamental Transaction. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Holder, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(c) on the conversion of this Note), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(c) on the conversion of this Note). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Fixed Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the Securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the Obligations of the Company, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Note, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a Security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Note immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the Obligations of the Company with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

f)          Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.

 

 16 

 

 

g)          Notice to the Holder.

 

i.          Adjustment to Fixed Conversion Price. Whenever the Fixed Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of Section 5(a), the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Fixed Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

h)          Variable Rate Transaction.

Any transaction contemplated in this Section 5(h), shall be referred to as a “Variable Rate Transaction”.

i)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of this Section 5 or the subsections set forth in this Section 5 shall apply to the Business Combination Transactions.

(a)                   No later than the Filing Date, the Company shall file with the Commission the Initial Registration Statement relating to the resale by the Holders of all (or such other number as the Commission will permit) of the Registrable Securities. If Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of the Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available; provided, that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Section 3(c)) to be declared effective under the Securities Act within forty-five (45) days after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the affected Holder (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Trading Day. The Company shall immediately notify the Holder via facsimile or by e-mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading Day that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of such Registration Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the Trading Day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424. Failure to so notify the Holders within one (1) Trading Day of such notification of effectiveness or failure to file a final Prospectus as foresaid shall be deemed an Event under Section 2(g).

 

(b)                  Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Section 2(a), if the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and use its best efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the Commission, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e); with respect to filing on Form S-3 or other appropriate form, and subject to the provisions of Section 2(d) with respect to the payment of liquidated damages; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment, the Company shall be obligated to use diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.

 

(c)                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(d), if the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows:

 

i.first, the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included by any Person other than a Holder; and

 

3

 

 

ii.second, the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by Conversion Shares (applied, in the case that some Conversion Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Conversion Shares held by such Holders).

 

In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the Holder at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s allotment. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended.

 

(d)                  Provided, that no event of default exists under the Exchange Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, if: (i) the Initial Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date (if the Company files the Initial Registration Statement without providing the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(a) herein, the Company shall be deemed to have not satisfied this clause (i)) or (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, within five (5) Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, or (iii) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement within ten (10) calendar days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the Commission that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective, or (iv) a Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date of the Initial Registration Statement, or (v) after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than ten (10) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of fifteen (15) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clause (i) thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii), the date on which such five (5) Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date which such fifteen (15) calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (v) the date on which such ten (10) or fifteen (15) calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date thereafter (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) or any pro rata portion thereof, until the applicable Event is cured or sixty (60) calendar days after the applicable Event Date, whichever occurs first, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of two percent (2.0%) multiplied by the Subscription Amount paid by such Holder for the Notes pursuant to the Exchange Agreement less any amount of Notes repaid or converted; provided, that the maximum amount payable thereunder shall not exceed 4% of the Subscription Amount paid by such Holder pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven (7) days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full.

 

(e)                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein but subject to comments by the Commission, in no event shall the Company be permitted to name any Holder or affiliate of a Holder as an underwriter without the prior written consent of such Holder.

The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in good faith, provided, that, the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than five (5) Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement or one (1) Trading Day after the Holder has been furnished copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto. Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex A (a “Selling Stockholder Questionnaire”) on a date that is not less than two (2) Trading Days prior to the Filing Date or by the end of the fourth (4th) Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this Section.

 

(b)                  (i) The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the Commission with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably practicable to the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to a Registration Statement (provided, that the Company shall excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and (iv) comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

 

(c)                  If during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock then registered in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case, prior to the applicable Filing Date, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less than the number of such Registrable Securities.

 

5

 

 

(d)                  The Company shall notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, provided, however, in no event shall any such notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(e)                  The Company shall use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

(i)                   Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, the Company shall use its best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the Registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

(k)                  Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(d), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.

During any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the Registrable Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such information within three Trading Days of the Company’s request, any liquidated damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur solely because of such delay shall be suspended as to all Holders until such information is delivered to the Company.

If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

 

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

 

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d)                Contribution. If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(d), in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

 

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

 

6.     Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each of the Company and each Holder agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

(b)                No Piggyback on Registrations; Prohibition on Filing Other Registration Statements. Neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statements other than the Registrable Securities. The Company shall not file any other registration statements until all Registrable Securities are registered pursuant to a Registration Statement that is declared effective by the Commission, provided that this Section 6(b), (i) shall not prohibit the Company from filing amendments to registration statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement and (ii) shall not prohibit the Company from filing a registration statement on Form S-3 for a primary offering by the Company, provided, that the Company makes no offering of securities pursuant to such shelf registration statement prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement required hereunder that includes all of the Registrable Securities.

 

10

 

 

(c)                Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it (unless an exemption therefrom is available) in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

 

(d)                Discontinued Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, the Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company agrees and acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2(d).

 

(e)         Piggy-Back Registrations. If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6(e) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public information requirements) promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement.

 

(f)         Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of 67% or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (for purposes of clarification, this includes any Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise of any Security). If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 6(f). No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

 

(g)                Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Exchange Agreement.

 

(h)                Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under Section 6.3(c) of the Exchange Agreement.

 

11

 

 

(i)                 No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

 

(j)                 Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

(k)                Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Exchange Agreement.

 

(l)                 Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

 

(m)               Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties hereto that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

(n)                 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

(o)                Independent Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Holder. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder, solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.

The Investor understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and Rule 144 promulgated thereunder since they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder the Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Furthermore, the Investor is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act on resale of the Securities without such registration.

 

4.8            Legends. The Investor understands and agrees that the Note and the certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares will bear legends substantially similar to those set forth below in addition to any other legend that may be required by applicable law:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF APPLICABLE STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. INVESTOR SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

The legend set forth above shall be removed by the Company from any certificate evidencing the Securities upon delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that either (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act is at that time in effect with respect to the legended security, or (ii) such security can be freely transferred in a public sale (other than pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 145 under the Securities Act) without such a registration statement being in effect and that such transfer will not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions from registration pursuant to which the Company issued the Securities.

Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section (13). The Issuance Date is the date of the first issuance of this Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) regardless of the number of transfers and regardless of the number of instruments, which may be issued to evidence such Note. This Note was issued with a 7% original issue discount.

 

(1)            GENERAL TERMS

 

(a)            Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest, and any other amounts outstanding pursuant to the terms of this Note. The "Maturity Date" shall be [________], 2024, as may be extended at the option of the Holder.

(b)            Interest Rate and Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding Principal balance hereof at an annual rate equal to 12% (“Interest Rate”), which Interest Rate shall increase to an annual rate of 18% upon an Event of Default for so long as it remains uncured. Interest shall be calculated based on a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

(c)            Optional Redemption. The Company at its option shall have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem (“Optional Redemption”) early a portion or all amounts outstanding under this Note as described in this Section; provided that (i) the Company provides the Holder with at least 10 Trading Days’ prior written notice (each, a “Redemption Notice”) of its desire to exercise an Optional Redemption, and (ii) on the date the Redemption Notice is issued, the VWAP of the Common Stock is less than the Fixed Price.

After receipt of the Redemption Notice, the Holder shall have 10 Trading Days to elect to convert all or any portion of the Note. On the 11th Trading Day after the Redemption Notice, the Company shall deliver to the Holder the Redemption Amount with respect to the Principal amount redeemed after giving effect to conversions or other payments effected during the 10 Trading Day period.

(iv)            The Common Shares shall cease to be quoted or listed for trading, as applicable, on any Primary Market for a period of ten (10) consecutive Trading Days;

(b)            During the time that any portion of this Note is outstanding, if any Event of Default has occurred (other than an event with respect to the Company described in Section (2)(a)(ii)), the full unpaid Principal amount of this Note, together with interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, to the date of acceleration shall become at the Holder's election given by notice pursuant to Section (6), immediately due and payable in cash; provided that, in the case of any event with respect to the Company described in Section (2)(a)(ii), the full unpaid Principal amount of this Note, together with interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof to the date of acceleration, shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Company.

The number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section (3)(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Shares upon any conversion. All calculations under this Section (3) shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Shares, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Shares up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Shares upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.

(b)            Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i)            Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into Common Shares on any date (a "Conversion Date"), the Holder shall (A) transmit by email (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Conversion Notice") to the Company and (B) if required by Section (3)(b)(iii), surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the "Share Delivery Date"), the Company shall (X) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates of Common Shares and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company's ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of Common Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Common Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant to rules and regulations of the Commission. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Shares upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice.

 

(ii)            Company's Failure to Timely Convert. If within three (3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of an email copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder's conversion of any Conversion Amount (a "Conversion Failure"), and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Common Shares issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder's request and in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out of pocket expenses, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Shares) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Shares and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Common Shares, times (B) the Closing Price on the Conversion Date.

 

(iii)            Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.

 

5

 

 

(c)            Limitations on Conversions.

 

(i)            Beneficial Ownership. The Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of Common Shares it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of Common Shares in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding Common Shares without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the Principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a Principal amount of this Note that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum Principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with Section (3)(a) and, any Principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Note. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

 

(ii)            Principal Market Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, the Company shall not issue any Common Shares upon conversion of this Note, or otherwise, if the issuance of such Common Shares would exceed the aggregate number Common Shares that the Company may issue in a transaction in compliance with the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”) and shall be referred to as the “Exchange Cap,” except that such limitation shall not apply if the Company’s stockholders have approved such issuances on such terms in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq.

 

(d)            Other Provisions.

 

(i)            All calculations under this Section (4) shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001 or whole share.

 

6

 

 

(ii)            So long as this Note remains outstanding, the Company shall have reserved from its duly authorized share capital, and shall have instructed its transfer agent to irrevocably reserve, the maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) this Note is convertible at the Floor Price as of the date of determination, (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Note set forth herein or therein (the “Required Reserve Amount”), provided that at no time shall the number of Common Shares reserved pursuant to this Section (3)(d)(ii) be reduced other than proportionally with respect to all Common Shares in connection with any conversion (other than pursuant to the conversion of this Note in accordance with their terms) and/or cancellation, or reverse stock split. If at any time the number of Common Shares authorized but unissued and not otherwise reserved for issuance (including (i) in relation to equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or that can be settled in Common Shares (other than the Note) and (ii) Common Shares remaining available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans) is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to propose to its general meeting of shareholders an increase of its authorized share capital necessary to meet the Company's obligations pursuant to this Note, recommending that shareholders vote in favor of such an increase. If at any time the number of Common Shares that remain available for issuance under the Exchange Cap is less than 100% of the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note then outstanding (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the Note is convertible at the Conversion Price then in effect, and (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Note, other than the Floor Price then in effect), the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly call and hold a shareholder meeting for the purpose of seeking the approval of its shareholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market, for issuances of shares in excess of the Exchange Cap. The Company covenants that, upon issuance in accordance with conversion of this Note in accordance with its terms, the Common Shares, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

(iii)            Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section (2) herein for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing Common Shares upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

 

(iv)            Legal Opinions. The Company is obligated to cause its legal counsel to deliver legal opinions to the Company’s transfer agent in connection with any legend removal upon the expiration of any holding period or other requirement for which the Underlying Shares may bear legends restricting the transfer thereof. To the extent that a legal opinion is not provided (either timely or at all), then, in addition to being an Event of Default hereunder, the Company agrees to reimburse the Holder for all reasonable costs incurred by the Holder in connection with any legal opinions paid for by the Holder in connection with sale or transfer of Underlying Common Shares. The Holder shall notify the Company of any such costs and expenses it incurs that are referred to in this section from time to time and all amounts owed hereunder shall be paid by the Company with reasonable promptness.

(e)            Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Shares. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Shares, (b) subdivide outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (c) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of Common Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company, then each of the Fixed Price and the Floor Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(f)            Adjustment to the Fixed Price.

(g)            Other Corporate Events.

In the case of clause (C), the conversion price applicable for the newly issued shares of convertible preferred stock or convertible debentures shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash and property that each Common Shares would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation shall include such terms so as to continue to give the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such events.

If at any time there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company proposes to register the offer and sale of any Common Shares under the Securities Act (other than a registration (i) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 ((or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit arrangement), (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), or (iii) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more stockholders of the Company and the form of Registration Statement to be used may be used for any registration of Registrable Securities, the Company shall give prompt written notice (in any event no later than five days prior to the filing of such Registration Statement) to the holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration and, shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion from the holders of Registrable Securities; provided, however, that, the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 10(c) that have been sold or may permanently be sold without any restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent. Further, in connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to Section 2(f), the Company shall not be required to include any of the Investor’s Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Investors accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering. If the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated among the selling Investors in proportion (as nearly as practicable to) the number of Registrable Securities owned by each selling Investor or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Investors.

 

4

 

 

(g)            No Inclusion of Other Securities. In no event shall the Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(c) without consulting with the Investor prior to filing such Registration Statement with the SEC.

(d)            As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or development, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission and deliver one electronic copy of such supplement or amendment to the Investor.

(a)            The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d) such Investor shall as soon as reasonably practicable discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(d) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, subject to compliance with the securities laws, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended certificates for Common Shares to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

6.            INDEMNIFICATION.

 

With respect to Registrable Securities which are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

 

(a)            To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation there under relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse the Investors and each such controlling person promptly upon a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, for any legal fees or disbursements that are reasonably incurred by them or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (x) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (y) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c); and (z) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person.

 

(b)            In connection with a Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, employees, representatives, or agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs (i) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement or (ii) from the Investor’s violation of any prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation there under relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(d), such Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, further, however, that, absent fraud or gross negligence, the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the prospectus was corrected and such new prospectus was delivered to each Investor prior to such Investor’s use of the prospectus to which the Claim relates.

 

9

 

 

(c)            Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel reasonably mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one (1) counsel for such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

(d)            The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made only upon a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

10

 

 

(e)            The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

 

7.            CONTRIBUTION.

 

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

 

8.            REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT.

 

With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, and as a material inducement to the Investor’s purchase of the Promissory Note, the Company represents, warrants, and covenants to the following:

 

(a)            The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all required reports under section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months prior to the date hereof (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports), other than Form 8-K reports.

 

(b)            During the Registration Period, the Company shall file with the SEC in a timely manner all required reports under section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement) and such reports shall conform to the requirement of the Exchange Act and the SEC for filing thereunder.

 

11

 

 

(c)            The Company shall furnish to the Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

 

9.            AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

 

Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Investor. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9 shall be binding upon each of the Investor and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to fewer than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

 

10.            MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a)            A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities or owns the right to receive the Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

 

(b)            No Other Registrations. The Company shall not include any other securities on a Registration Statement which includes Registrable Securities unless otherwise agreed by the Investor.

 

(c)            Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered pursuant to the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement or to such other address and/or electronic mail address and/or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by written notice given to each other party five (5) days prior to the effectiveness of such change. Written confirmation of receipt (A) given by the recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (B) electronically generated by the sender’s email service provider containing the time, date, and recipient email or (C) provided by a courier or overnight courier service shall be rebuttable evidence of personal service, receipt by facsimile or receipt from a nationally recognized overnight delivery service in accordance with this section.

(e)            The laws of the State of Nevada shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and the Investor as its stockholder. All other questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Nevada or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Nevada.

Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Advance Notices can be submitted no more than once per any given calendar week, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Investor and the Company in writing. Subject to the preceding sentence, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions under this Agreement, the Company may deliver Advance Notices from time to time, provided that it delivered all shares relating to all prior Advance Notices.

(i)Ownership Limitation; Commitment Amount. At the request of the Company, the Investor shall (within one business day of such request) inform the Company of the amount of Common Stock the Investor then beneficially owns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Investor shall not be obligated to purchase or acquire, and shall not purchase or acquire, any shares of Common Stock under this Agreement which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor and its affiliates (on an aggregated basis) to exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding voting power or number of Common Stock (the “Ownership Limitation”). Upon the written request of the Investor, the Company shall promptly (but no later than one business day after the next business day on which the transfer agent for the Common Stock is open for business) confirm orally or by email or other writing to the Investor the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In connection with each Advance Notice delivered by the Company, any portion of the number of Advance Shares that would (i) cause the Investor to exceed the Ownership Limitation or (ii) cause the aggregate number of Shares issued and sold to the Investor hereunder (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Commitment Fee Note) to exceed the Commitment Amount shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company, and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the number of Advance Shares requested by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion; provided that in the event of any such automatic withdrawal and automatic modification, Investor will promptly notify the Company of such event.

(ii)Registration Limitation and Exchange Cap.

In connection with each Advance Notice, any portion of an Advance that would exceed the Registration Limitation or the Exchange Cap shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the aggregate amount of the requested Advance by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion in respect of each Advance Notice; provided that in the event of any such automatic withdrawal and automatic modification, Investor will promptly notify the Company of such event.

 

(d)Unconditional Contract. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that upon the Investor’s receipt of a valid Advance Notice the parties shall be deemed to have entered into an unconditional contract binding on both parties for the purchase and sale of Advance Shares pursuant to such Advance Notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (i) subject to Applicable Laws and (ii) subject to Section 3.08, the Investor may sell Common Stock during the Pricing Period.

At the end of each Pricing Period the Company will deliver the shares sold to the Investor against payment of the Purchase Price by the Investor to the Company’s designated account by wire transfer of immediately available funds. In connection with each Closing, the Company and the Investor shall fulfill each of its obligations as set forth below:

(a)[Reserved].

 

(b)On or promptly after the Advance Date with respect to each Advance (and, in any event, not later than one Trading Day thereafter), the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer such number of Advance Shares to be purchased by the Investor (as set forth in the Advance Notice) by crediting the Investor’s account or its designee’s account at the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, and transmit notification to the Investor that such share transfer has been requested. Promptly upon (and in any event within one Trading Day after) receipt of such notification, the Investor shall pay to the Company the aggregate purchase price of the Advance Shares in cash in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company by email or other writing and transmit notification to the Company that such funds transfer has been requested. No fractional shares shall be issued, and any fractional amounts shall be rounded to the next higher whole number of shares. To facilitate the transfer of the Common Stock by the Investor, the Common Stock will not bear any restrictive legends so long as there is an effective Registration Statement covering the resale of such Common Stock (it being understood and agreed by the Investor that notwithstanding the lack of restrictive legends, the Investor may only sell such Common Stock pursuant to the Plan of Distribution set forth in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement and otherwise in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act (including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements) or pursuant to an available exemption).

 

(c)On or prior to the Advance Date, each of the Company and the Investor shall deliver to the other all documents, instruments and writings expressly required to be delivered by either of them pursuant to this Agreement in order to implement and effect the transactions contemplated herein.

 

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if on any day during the Pricing Period (i) the Company notifies Investor that a Material Outside Event has occurred, or (ii) the Company notifies the Investor of a Black Out Period, the parties agree that the pending Advance shall end and the final number of Advance Shares to be purchased by the Investor at the Closing for such Advance shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock sold by the Investor during the applicable Pricing Period prior to the notification from the Company of a Material Outside Event or Black Out Period.

 

Section 2.03      Hardship.

 

(a)In the event the Investor sells Common Stock after receipt of an Advance Notice and the Company fails to perform its obligations as mandated in Section 2.02, the Company agrees that in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Article V hereto and in addition to any other remedy to which the Investor is entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance, it will hold the Investor harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company and acknowledges that irreparable damage may occur in the event of any such default.

Section 2.04      Completion of Resale Pursuant to the Registration Statement. After the Investor has purchased the full Commitment Amount and has completed the subsequent resale of the full Commitment Amount pursuant to the Registration Statement, Investor will notify the Company by email or other writing that all subsequent resales are completed and the Company will be under no further obligation to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

- 20 -

 

 

Section 5.02      Notice of Claim. Promptly after receipt by an Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as applicable, shall, if a claim for an Indemnified Liability in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Article V, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it of liability under this Article V except to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the actual and reasonable third party fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee which relates to such action or claim.

No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The indemnification required by this Article V shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received, and payment therefor is due.

 

Section 5.03      Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Article V are not exclusive and shall not limit any right or remedy which may be available to any indemnified person at law or equity. The obligations of the parties to indemnify or make contribution under this Article V shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

(c)Limitations on the Black Out Period. The Company shall not impose any Black Out Period that is longer than 90 consecutive days (or 120 days in any calendar year) or in a manner that is more restrictive (including, without limitation, as to duration) than the comparable restrictions that the Company may impose on transfers of the Company’s equity securities by its directors and senior executive officers. In addition, the Company shall not deliver any Advance Notice during any Black Out Period.

a)            Conversion. At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Note is no longer outstanding, this Note shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(d)). The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the principal amount of this Note to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Note,. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain a Conversion Schedule, containing at a minimum the information shown on Schedule 1, and showing historically, among other things, the principal amounts converted and the date of such conversions. The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1) Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion.

The Fixed Conversion Price shall be rounded down to the nearest $0.01. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6 and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable Regulation.

c)Mechanics of Conversion.

 

i.            Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted by (y) the Fixed Conversion Price.

 

ii.            Delivery of Conversion Shares. As soon as practicable after the occurrence of any event requiring the issuance of Conversion Shares, and in any event within one (1) Business Day thereafter (such date, the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall, at its expense, cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder, which certificate or certificates shall be free of restrictive and trading legends, except for any such legends as may be required under the Securities Act. The Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such Common Stock issuable to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s) broker with the DTC through its DWAC system (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply) as instructed by the Holder (or its designee); provided, that such issuance shall only be made through DTC’s DWAC system if such Conversion Shares will be issued free of restrictive legends. If such Conversion Shares will be issued subject to legends required under the Securities Act, such Conversion Shares will be issued to the Holder in book entry at the Company’s transfer agent.

 

iii.            Inability to Fully Convert.

 

(a)Holder’s Option if Company Cannot Fully Convert. If, upon the Company’s receipt of a Notice of Conversion or as otherwise required under this Note, the Company cannot issue Common Stock for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Company (x) does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available or (y) is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Company or any of its securities from issuing all of the Common Stock which is to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Note, then the Company shall issue as many shares of Common Stock as it is able to issue and, with respect to the unconverted portion of this Note or with respect to any Common Stock not timely issued in accordance with this Note, the Holder, solely at Holder’s option, can elect to:

 

i.require the Company to prepay that portion of this Note for which the Company is unable to issue Common Stock or for which Common Stock was not timely issued (the “Mandatory Prepayment for Failure to Fully Convert”) at a price equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is unable to issue multiplied by the VWAP on the date of the Notice of Conversion (the “Mandatory Prepayment Price”);

 

ii.void its Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, this Note that was to be converted pursuant to the Notice of Conversion (provided that the Holder’s voiding its Notice of Conversion shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice); or

 

7 

 

 

iii.defer issuance of the applicable Conversion Shares until such time as the Company can legally issue such shares; provided, that the principal amount underlying such Conversion Shares shall remain outstanding until the delivery of such Conversion Shares; provided, further, that if the Holder elects to defer the issuance of the Conversion Shares, it may exercise its rights under either clause (i) or (ii) above at any time prior to the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon two (2) Business Days’ notice to the Company.

 

(b)Mechanics of Fulfilling Holder’s Election. The Company shall immediately send to the Holder, upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion from the Holder, which cannot be fully satisfied as described in Section 4(c)(iii)(a) above, a notice of the Company’s inability to fully satisfy the Notice of Conversion (the “Inability to Fully Convert Notice”). Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason why the Company is unable to fully satisfy the Holder’s Notice of Conversion; and (ii) the amount of this Note which cannot be converted. The Holder shall notify the Company of its election pursuant to Section 4(c)(iii)(a) above by delivering written notice to the Company (“Notice in Response to Inability to Convert”).

 

(c)Payment of Mandatory Prepayment Price. If the Holder shall elect to have its Note prepaid pursuant to Section 4(c)(iii)(a) above, the Company shall pay the Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder within five (5) Business Days of the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert; provided that prior to the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert the Company has not delivered a notice to the Holder stating, to the satisfaction of the Holder, that the event or condition resulting in the Mandatory Prepayment for Failure to Fully Convert has been cured and all Conversion Shares issuable to the Holder can and will be delivered to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note. If the Company shall fail to pay the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder on the date that is five (5) Business Days following the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert, in addition to any remedy the Holder may have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Until the full Mandatory Prepayment Price is paid in full to the Holder, the Holder may (i) void the Mandatory Prepayment for Failure to Convert with respect to that portion of the Note for which the full Mandatory Prepayment Price has not been paid and (ii) receive back such Note.

 

(d)No Rights as Stockholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or of any other matter, or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

iv.            Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of Regulations by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of Regulation, Contractual Obligation or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought. If the injunction is not granted, the Company shall promptly comply with all conversion obligations herein. If the injunction is obtained, the Company must post a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of seeking such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares (or, where applicable and required hereunder, cash), upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) by the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, in immediately available Dollars, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, $1,000 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after such Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6 for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable Regulation.

 

v.            Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash in immediately available Dollars to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

vi.            Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal the Reserve Amount for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Notes). The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall calculate and readjust the Reserve Amount on the first (1st) Business Day of each month so long as this Note is outstanding,

 

9 

 

 

vii.            Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in immediately available Dollars in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Fixed Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

viii.            Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided, that, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Note so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion.

 

d)            Holder’s Conversion Limitations. The Company shall not effect any conversion of principal of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any principal of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates, the “Attribution Parties”) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other Securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including any other Notes) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Attribution Parties.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(d) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other Securities owned by the Holder together with any Attribution Parties) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other Securities owned by the Holder together with any Attribution Parties) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of Securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder. The Holder, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d); provided, that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

e)            Regulatory Conversion Cap. The Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the number of shares which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (i) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount or (ii) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. Until such approval or such written opinion is obtained, the Holder shall not be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (A) the Exchange Cap as of the proposed date of issuance for such shares multiplied by (B) the quotient of (1) the aggregate original Principal Amount of this Note issued to the applicable Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement on such Closing Date divided by (2) the aggregate original Principal Amount of the Notes issued to the Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement on such Closing Date (with respect to each Purchaser, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any portion of this Note, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation with respect to such portion of this Note so transferred, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation so allocated to such transferee. Upon conversion in full of a holder’s Note, the difference (if any) between such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder upon such holder’s conversion in full of this Note shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of this Note on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying this Note hen held by each such holder of this Note. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4(d) (the “Exchange Cap Shares”) to a Holder, the Company shall pay immediately available Dollars to such Holder in exchange for the redemption of such portion of this Note held by the Holder that are not convertible into such Exchange Cap Shares at a price equal to the sum of (A) the product of (1) such number of Exchange Cap Shares and (2) the Closing Sale Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date such Holder delivers the applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such Exchange Cap Shares to the Company, and (B) to the extent such Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of Exchange Cap Shares, brokerage commissions, if any, of such Holder incurred in connection therewith.

 

f)            Conversion Upon the Event of Default. During the continuation of an Event of Default, the Holder shall have an option to convert any amount of the Note, pursuant to the mechanics in Section 4(c), at a price equal to the lower of (i) the current Conversion Price, and (ii) 80% of the arithmetic average of the three lowest daily VWAPs during the 20 Trading Days immediately preceding the date of effective delivery of the Notice of Conversion; provided, that in no event shall such price be lower than $2.00.

Section 5.      Certain Adjustments

 

a)            Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a Restricted Payment payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of this Note), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock to a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b)            Pro Rata Distributions. While this Note is outstanding, the Company shall not declare or make any Restricted Payment (or rights to receive Restricted Payments).  In the event that the Note is repaid at the time of such Restricted Payment, the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Restricted Payment.  If the Holder and the Company mutually agree, and the Note is not repaid at the time of such Restricted Payment, then the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Restricted Payment to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Note (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Restricted Payment, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Restricted Payment (provided, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Restricted Payment would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Restricted Payment to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Restricted Payment to such extent) and the portion of such Restricted Payment shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

c)            Fundamental Transaction. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Holder, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(c) on the conversion of this Note), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(c) on the conversion of this Note). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Fixed Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the Securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the Obligations of the Company, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(c) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Note, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a Security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Note immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the Obligations of the Company with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

12 

 

 

d)            Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.

 

e)            Notice to the Holder.

 

i.            Adjustment to Fixed Conversion Price. Whenever the Fixed Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of Section 5(a), the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Fixed Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary, no adjustment pursuant to this Section 5 shall increase the Fixed Conversion Price other than proportional increases upon the occurrence of a reverse stock split in accordance with Section 5(a).

 

ii.            Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution or other Restricted Payment in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other Securities, cash or property or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Note, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Note Register, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, Restricted Payment, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for Securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert this Note during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

13 

 

 

Section 6.      Events of Default

 

a)            “Event of Default” means, wherever used herein, any of the following events (whatever the reason for such event and whether such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by Regulation or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or Regulation of any Governmental Authority):

 

i.            any default in the payment of the principal amount of this Note or any Mandatory Default Amount or fees, liquidated damages or any other amount owing to a Holder on this Note or by any Company Party under any Transaction Document, as and when the same shall become due and payable (whether on a Conversion Date or the Maturity Date or by acceleration or otherwise);

 

ii.            any Company Party shall fail for any reason to comply with Section 4(c) (including Section 4(c)(vi)), 5 or Section 7(k) of this Note or any other Section of this Note or any Transaction Document that provides for an action after a notice period or that provides a specific period of time for the Company Parties to comply with; or

 

iii.            any Company Party shall provide at any time notice to the Holder, including by way of public announcement, of such Company Party’s intention to not honor any provision of this Note or any other Transaction Document (including requests for conversions of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof).

 

The clauses in the definition of “Event of Default” above operate independently, so that any action or event that falls within any such clause shall constitute an Event of Default regardless of, whether because of a grace period or threshold or otherwise, it falls outside the language of any other clause.

 

b)            Remedies Upon Event of Default. Subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation as and to the extent set forth in Section 4(d), if any Event of Default occurs, then the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus fees, liquidated damages and any other amounts owing by any Company Party in respect thereof or under any Transaction Document through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the Holder’s election in its sole discretion, in whole or in part, immediately due and payable, in cash or in shares of Common Stock (at the Holder’s option in its sole discretion), at the greater of (i) the Mandatory Default Amount, and (ii) (a) the outstanding principal amount of this Note, in addition to the payment of all other amounts, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due in respect of this Note, divided by the Fixed Conversion Price, multiplied by (b) the highest closing price for the Common Stock on the Principal Market during the period beginning on the date of first occurrence of the Event of Default and ending on the date the Mandatory Default Amount is paid in full. Immediately on and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, without need for notice or demand all of which are waived, interest on this Note shall accrue and be owed daily at an interest rate equal to the maximum rate permitted under applicable Regulations. Upon the payment in full of the Mandatory Default Amount in cash or in shares of Common Stock, the Holder shall promptly surrender this Note to or as directed by the Company. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (other than the Holder’s election to declare such acceleration), and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable Regulations. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section 6(b). No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents and to enforce its rights hereunder and thereunder.
