EXCHANGE AGREEMENT, dated as of August 8, 2019 (the “Agreement”), by and between BIORESTORATIVE THERAPIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and HARVEY P. ALSTODT AND MELODY ALSTODT (the “Holder”).

 

WHEREAS, the Holder is the holder of a Promissory Note, dated February 6, 2019, issued by the Company to the Holder in the principal amount of $450,000 (as amended, the “Note”).

 

WHEREAS, the maturity date for the payment of the principal amount of the Note, together with accrued interest thereon, was August 6, 2019.

 

WHEREAS, the Note provides for the right of the Holder to convert the principal amount of the Note, together with accrued interest, into shares of Common Stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) and a warrant for the purchase of Common Stock in, or substantially in, the form attached to the Note as Exhibit 1 (the “Current Warrant”) at a conversion price of sixty cents ($0.60) per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for reverse stock splits and the like) (the “Note Conversion Price”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Holder extend the maturity date of the Note to September 30, 2019 (the “New Maturity Date”) and, in connection therewith to provide for an automatic conversion of the Note into shares of Common Stock and a modification to the terms of the Current Warrant as hereinafter provided (the “Exchange Warrant”), in exchange for the amounts payable pursuant to the Note (the “Exchange Offer”).

 

WHEREAS, the Holder desires to exchange the amounts payable pursuant to the Note for Common Stock and the Exchange Warrant pursuant to the Exchange Offer, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

 

WHEREAS, the Holder is willing to extend the maturity date of the Note to September 30, 2019 and modify the terms of the Note and the Current Warrant as hereinafter provided.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 

1. Exchange; Extension of Maturity Date.

 

1.1 In the event, on or prior to the New Maturity Date, the Company enters into an underwriting agreement for a public offering of its securities pursuant to which, after giving effect to such offering, the Common Stock will be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Public Offering”), then, thereupon, the outstanding principal amount of the Note, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be automatically deemed to have been exchanged for Common Stock (the “Exchange Shares” and together with the Exchange Warrant, the “Exchange Securities”) and the Exchange Warrant at an exchange price (the “Exchange Price”) equal to the lesser of (i) seventy-five percent (75%) of the offering price for the Common Stock or units of Common Stock and warrants, as the case may be, pursuant to the Public Offering (the “Public Offering Price”) and (ii) the Note Conversion Price (the “Exchange”). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Exchange Warrant shall be as set forth in the Note. The exercise price of the Exchange Warrant shall be equal to the lesser of (a) the exercise price set forth in the Current Warrant or (b) one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Exchange Price.

1.2 The certificates evidencing the Exchange Shares and the Exchange Warrant issuable to the Holder pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be delivered by the Company to the Holder within five (5) days of closing of the Public Offering.

 

1.3 The Holder agrees that, in connection with the Public Offering, it shall enter into a lock-up agreement with the managing underwriter of the Public Offering, upon terms reasonably acceptable to such managing underwriter and the Holder, which lock-up agreement shall provide for, among other things, a one hundred thirty-five (135) day lock-up period and a termination of such lock-up period in the event the closing price for the Common Stock equals or exceeds one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Public Offering Price for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days.

 

1.4 The parties agree that the maturity date for the payment of the principal amount of the Note, together with accrued interest thereon, is the New Maturity Date.

 

2. Representations by Holder.

 

The Holder understands and agrees that the Company is relying and may rely upon the following representations, warranties, acknowledgements, consents, confirmations and covenants made by the Holder in entering into this Agreement:

 

2.1 The Holder recognizes that the acquisition of the Exchange Securities and, in the event of the exercise of the Exchange Warrant, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant thereto (the “Warrant Shares”) involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for persons of adequate financial means who have no need for liquidity with respect to the Exchange Securities in that (a) the Holder may not be able to liquidate the Exchange Securities in the event of emergency; (b) transferability is extremely limited; and (c) the Holder could sustain a complete loss of its investment.

 

2.2 The Holder represents and warrants that it (a) is competent to understand and does understand the nature of the Exchange Offer; and (b) is able to bear the economic risk of an acquisition of the Exchange Securities.

 

2.3 The Holder represents and warrants that it is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Holder meets the requirements of at least one of the suitability standards for an “accredited investor” as set forth on the Accredited Investor Certification contained herein.

 

2.4 The Holder represents and warrants that it has significant prior investment experience, including investment in restricted securities, and that it has read this Agreement and the Current Warrant in order to evaluate the merits and risks of the Exchange Offer.

 

2
 

 

2.5 The Holder represents and warrants that it has reviewed all reports, statements and other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “SEC Reports”), including, the risk factors set forth therein. The Holder also represents and warrants that it has been furnished by the Company with all information regarding the Company which it had requested or desired to know; that all documents which could be reasonably provided have been made available for its inspection and review; that it has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, and any additional information which it had requested; and that it has had the opportunity to consult with its own tax or financial advisor concerning an acquisition of the Exchange Securities. The Holder confirms that no oral representations have been made or oral information furnished to the Holder or its advisers in connection with the Exchange Offer that are inconsistent in any respect with the SEC Reports, this Agreement or the Current Warrant.

 

2.6 The Holder acknowledges that the Exchange Offer has not been reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) because it is intended to be either (a) a non-public offering pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder or (b) exempt from the registration requirements of the Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) thereof. The Holder represents that the Exchange Securities are and will be being acquired for its own account, for investment and not for distribution to others. The Holder agrees that it will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Exchange Securities, or any portion thereof, unless they are registered under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.

 

2.7 The Holder consents that the Company may, if it desires, permit the transfer of the Exchange Securities by the Holder out of its name only when its request for transfer is accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that neither the sale nor the proposed transfer results in a violation of the Act or any applicable state “blue sky” laws (collectively, “Securities Laws”). The Holder agrees to be bound by any requirements of such Securities Laws.

 

2.8 The Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Company is relying on the Holder’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement in determining whether to enter into this Agreement.

 

2.9 The Holder consents to the placement of a legend on the Exchange Securities stating that they have not been registered under the Act and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof. The Holder is aware that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the transferability of the Exchange Securities.

 

2.10 The Holder represents and warrants that the address set forth on the signature page is the Holder’s true and correct address.

 

2.11 The Holder represents and warrants that it is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of, the Exchange Offer through, or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, without limitation, articles, notices, advertisements or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine or other similar media or broadcast over television or radio or any seminar or meeting where the attendees have been invited by any such means of general solicitation or advertising.
