A “Sale of the Company” shall mean (i) the acquisition of the Company by another entity or person by means of any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is party (including, without limitation, any stock acquisition, reorganization, merger or consolidation but excluding any sale of stock for capital raising purposes) other than (x) a SPAC Transaction (defined below) or (y) a transaction or series of related transactions in which the holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction or series of related transactions retain, immediately after such transaction or series of related transactions, as a result of shares in the Company held by such holders prior to such transaction or series of related transactions, at least a majority of the total voting power represented by the outstanding voting securities of the Company or such other surviving or resulting entity (or if the Company or such other surviving or resulting entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary immediately following such acquisition, its parent); (ii) a sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole by means of any transaction or series of related transactions, except where such sale, lease or other disposition is to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; or (iii) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary. The Company shall provide the Holder with at least ten (10) business days prior written notice before consummating a Sale of the Company.

 

2. Interest Rate. Simple interest on the outstanding principal amount hereof shall accrue from the date hereof until payment in full, at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum or the maximum rate permissible by law, whichever is less. Interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date and shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

 

  

 

3. Conversion.

 

(a) Automatic Conversion into Common Stock. The outstanding principal balance of this Note plus all accrued but unpaid interest hereon shall automatically convert, without any further action on the part of either Company or Holder, into shares of Common Stock upon the earliest to occur of (i) immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s sale of its Common Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering on an internationally recognized and reputable stock exchange that results in at least $40,000,000 of gross proceeds to the Company (a “Qualified IPO”), (ii) immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s initial listing of its Common Stock on an internationally recognized and reputable stock exchange by means of an effective registration statement on Form S-1 filed by this Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission that in either case in at least $40,000,000 of gross proceeds to the selling stockholders (a “Qualified Direct Listing”), or (iii) upon the consummation of a transaction or series of related transactions by merger, consolidation, share exchange or otherwise of the Company with a publicly traded “special purpose acquisition company” or its subsidiary (a “SPAC”), immediately following the consummation of which the common stock or share capital of the SPAC or its successor entity is listed on an internationally recognized and reputable stock exchange (a “SPAC Transaction”). The number of shares of Common Stock shall be determined by dividing (x) the outstanding principal balance hereof plus accrued but unpaid interest by (y) as applicable, (i) in case of a Qualified IPO, the per share price for which shares of Common Stock are initially offered in the Qualified IPO as reflected in the final prospectus, (b) in case of a Qualified Direct Listing, the fist closing price of the Common Stock on the first trading day following the Qualified Direct Listing, and (c) in case of a SPAC Transaction, the price per share of the successor entity that is established in connection with such SPAC Transaction.

 

(b) Mechanics of Conversion. This Note shall be converted automatically without any further action by the Holder and whether or not the original Note is surrendered to the Company.

(c) Fractional Shares. If the conversion of this Note would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company may at its discretion, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of one share of the class and series of capital stock into which this Note has converted by such fraction.

 

4. Maturity. Unless this Note has been previously converted in accordance with the terms of Section 3 above, the entire outstanding principal balance and all unpaid accrued interest shall become fully due and payable on the Maturity Date.

 

5. Expenses. In the event of any default hereunder, the Company shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by Holder in enforcing and collecting this Note.
