2.1 Purchase and Sale. In exchange for the Consideration paid by each Purchaser, the Company will sell and issue to such Purchaser one or more Notes. Each Note will have a principal balance equal to that portion of the Consideration paid by such Purchaser for such Note, as set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of Purchasers.

 

2.2 Matching by Trust. The purchase of Notes by the Trust will occur on a matching basis. At each Closing, the Trust will purchase an aggregate principal amount of Notes equal to the aggregate principal amount of Notes purchased by each other Purchaser at such Closing until the Trust has purchased Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1 million at all Closings.

 

2.3 Security Interest. Company hereby grants Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Notes, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof.

If this Agreement is terminated, Collateral Agent’s lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Notes are either converted or are repaid in full in cash, and, in such event(s), the Notes are no longer outstanding. Upon conversion of or payment in full in cash of the Notes, Collateral Agent shall, at the sole cost and expense of Company, release its liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Company. Company hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to file this Agreement with the USPTO or any other appropriate governmental agency, and/or file any financing statement with the appropriate state agency, or take any other action Collateral Agent deems required to perfect Collateral Agent’s security interests in the Collateral, without notice to Company, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Collateral Agent’s interest or rights under the this Agreement, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, except to the extent permitted by the terms of this Agreement, by Company, or any other person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Collateral Agent and the other Purchasers and constitute a breach of this Agreement by Company.

 

3. Closings.

 

3.1 Initial Closing. The initial closing of the sale of the Notes in return for the Consideration paid by each Purchaser (the “Initial Closing”) will take place at the Company’s offices in San Antonio, Texas, on the date of this Agreement, or at such other time as the Company and the Purchasers purchasing a majority-in-interest of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be sold at the Initial Closing agree upon orally or in writing. At the Initial Closing, each Purchaser will deliver the Consideration to the Company and the Company will deliver to each Purchaser one or more executed Notes in return for the respective Consideration provided to the Company.

 

3.2 Subsequent Closings. In any subsequent closing (each a “Subsequent Closing”), the Company may sell additional Notes subject to the terms of this Agreement to any purchaser as it will select; provided that the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued pursuant to this Agreement does not exceed $5,000,000.00. Any subsequent purchasers of Notes will become parties to, and will be entitled to receive Notes in accordance with, this Agreement. Each Subsequent Closing will take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures or at such locations and at such times as will be mutually agreed upon orally or in writing by the Company and such purchasers of additional Notes. The Schedule of Purchasers will be updated to reflect the additional Notes purchased at each Subsequent Closing and the parties purchasing such additional Notes.

4. Conversion. Each Note will be convertible into Conversion Shares pursuant to this Section 4.

 

4.1 Automatic Conversion. The principal balance and unpaid accrued interest on each Note will automatically convert into Conversion Shares upon the initial closing of the Next Equity Financing. The number of Conversion Shares the Company issues upon such conversion will equal the quotient (rounded down to the nearest whole share) obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest under each converting Note on the date of conversion by (y) the applicable Conversion Price. At least five (5) days prior to the closing of the Next Equity Financing, the Company will notify the holder of each Note in writing of the terms of the Equity Securities that are expected to be issued in such financing. The issuance of Conversion Shares pursuant to the conversion of each Note will be on, and subject to, the same terms and conditions applicable to the Equity Securities issued in the Next Equity Financing.

 

4.2 Optional Conversions.

 

(a) Optional Conversion Upon Equity Financing. Upon a sale (or series of related sales) by the Company of its Equity Securities in one or more offerings relying on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D thereunder for exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act that does not meet the investment commitment and/or gross cash proceeds criteria to be considered a Next Equity Financing, the principal balance and unpaid accrued interest on all Notes will convert into Conversion Shares upon the election of all of the Requisite Noteholders. The number of Conversion Shares the Company issues upon such conversion will equal the quotient (rounded down to the nearest whole share) obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest under each converting Note on the date of conversion by (y) the applicable Conversion Price. The issuance of Conversion Shares pursuant to a conversion of each Note under this Section 4.2(a) will be on, and subject to, the same terms and conditions applicable to the Equity Securities issued in the equity financing.

 

(b) Other Optional Conversion. At any time on or after the Maturity Date, at the election of all of the Requisite Noteholders, all Notes will convert into that number of Conversion Shares equal to the quotient (rounded down to the nearest whole share) obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest of such Note on the date of such conversion by (y) the applicable Conversion Price.

 

4.3 Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(a) Financing Agreements. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the conversion of the Notes into Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 4.1 may require such Purchaser’s execution of certain agreements relating to the purchase and sale of the Conversion Shares, as well as registration rights, rights of first refusal and co-sale, rights of first offer and voting rights, if any, relating to such securities (collectively, the “Financing Agreements”). Each Purchaser agrees to execute all of the Financing Agreements in connection with a Next Equity Financing.

 

(b) Certificates. As promptly as practicable after the conversion of each Note and the issuance of the Conversion Shares, the Company (at its expense) will issue and deliver to the holder thereof a certificate or certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares (if certificated), or if the Conversion Shares are not certificated, will deliver a true and correct copy of the Company’s share register reflecting the Conversion Shares held by such holder. The Company will not be required to issue or deliver the Conversion Shares until the holder of such Note has surrendered the Note to the Company (or provided an instrument of cancellation or affidavit of loss). The conversion of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be contingent upon the closing of the Next Equity Financing.

 

 5 

 

 

5. Pari Passu. The Notes shall be treated, in all respects, as pari passu in accordance with their relative then outstanding principal balances. Accordingly, all payments and all permitted prepayments by the Company on the Notes will be made pro rata based on their relative then outstanding principal balances.

 

6. Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness. Without the prior consent of the Requisite Noteholders, the Company shall not issue, or cause any subsidiary of the Company to issue, any indebtedness or debt security, other than the Notes issued, or to be issued, hereunder, trade accounts payable and/or letters of credit, performance bonds or other similar credit support incurred in the ordinary course of business, or amend, renew, increase or otherwise alter in any material respect the terms of any indebtedness previously approved or required to be approved by the Requisite Noteholders, other than the incurrence of debt solely to fund the repayment of the Notes.

 

7. Most Favored Terms. If at any time while any Notes issued hereunder are outstanding the Company issues any additional debt that is convertible into the Company’s equity securities and such additional debt has a lower conversion price, a higher interest rate, an earlier maturity date or is secured by collateral of the Company, then the terms of the Notes issued hereunder will be modified to incorporate any such more favorable terms.

 

8. Representations and Warranties of the Company. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers as follows:

 

8.1 Due Organization; Qualification and Good Standing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) Company irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by Collateral Agent from or on behalf of Company of all or any part of the Notes, and, as between Company on the one hand and Collateral Agent and Purchasers on the other, Collateral Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received against the Notes in such manner as Collateral Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous application by Collateral Agent, and (b) the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied: first, to the Purchasers’ expenses (pro rata in proportion to their respective expenses, including expenses related to enforcement rights, including attorney fees); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts) pro rata in proportion to the aggregate interest owed on the Notes; and third, to the principal amount of the Notes outstanding, pro rata in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

If any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, properties or securities, shall be received by a Purchaser in excess of its ratable share, then the portion of such payment or distribution in excess of such Purchaser’s ratable share shall be received by such Purchaser in trust for and shall be promptly paid over to the Collateral Agent for application to the payments of amounts due on the other Purchasers’ are herein provided. To the extent any payment for the account of Company is required to be returned as a voidable transfer or otherwise, the Purchasers shall contribute to one another as is necessary to ensure that such return of payment is on a pro rata basis, in reverse order received. Any balance of amounts owed to the Purchasers to the extent not satisfied in full after application of the proceeds from the disposition of the Collateral shall remain an obligation of the Company until satisfied in full.

 

10.4 Liability for Collateral.

11.12 Responsibility for Documentary Stamp Taxes. While the Company does not believe that any documentary taxes are owed in connection with the execution and delivery of the Notes hereunder, including the Florida Documentary Stamp Tax, because the Notes are being executed and delivered in Texas, should it ever be determined that such taxes should have been paid, then the Company agrees that it shall be responsible for all such documentary taxes, together with any interest and penalties thereon, due to any taxing authority, including the State of Florida, by reason of the execution and delivery of the Notes hereunder.

(i) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition, and such disposition is made in connection with such registration statement; or

 

(ii) such Purchaser has (A) notified the Company of the proposed disposition; (B) furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition; and (C) if requested by the Company, furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act.

(b) Legends. Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Securities may bear the following legend:

 

THIS INSTRUMENT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE CONVERSION HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR UPON RECEIPT BY THE COMPANY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.

 

11.14 Exculpation among Purchasers. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm, corporation or stockholder, other than the Company and its officers and directors in their capacities as such, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Each Purchaser agrees that no other Purchaser, nor the controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, stockholders or employees of any other Purchaser, will be liable for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or not taken by any of them in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities.

 

11.15 Acknowledgment. For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged that each Purchaser will be entitled to the benefit of all adjustments in the number of shares of the Company’s capital stock as a result of any splits, recapitalizations, combinations or other similar transactions affecting the Company’s capital stock underlying the Conversion Shares that occur prior to the conversion of the Notes.

 

11.16 Further Assurances. From time to time, the parties will execute and deliver such additional documents and will provide such additional information as may reasonably be required to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the Notes and any agreements executed in connection herewith or therewith.

EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE SECURITIES OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.
