For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Subsidiary” means, with respect to the Company, any corporation or other entity of which at least a majority of the outstanding shares of stock or other ownership interests having by the terms thereof ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors (or persons performing similar functions) of such corporation or entity (regardless of whether or not at the time, in the case of a corporation, stock of any other class or classes of such corporation shall have or might have voting power by reason of the happening of any contingency) is at the time directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the Company or one or more of its Affiliates and the term “Affiliate” means, as to any person (the “Subject Person”), any other person that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries controls or is controlled by, or is under direct or indirect common control with, the Subject Person.

The Underlying Securities, when issued in compliance with the provisions of the Subscription Documents, will be, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of any liens, encumbrances, security interests or other adverse claim (a “Lien”) and issued in compliance with all applicable federal and securities laws.

Except as set forth in Section 3.7 of the Disclosure Schedule, the execution, delivery and performance of the Subscription Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Documents will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with, or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, decree, order or writ or an event that results in the creation of any Lien upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties. The sale of the Note, the issuance of the Warrant and the subsequent issuance of the Underlying Securities are not and will not be subject to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal that have not been properly waived or complied with.

5.5               Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company 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 action or proceeding that may be brought by the Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under the Note. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Note, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Note for payments which under Delaware law are 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 which under Delaware law in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Note exceed such Maximum Rate.  It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by Delaware law and applicable to the Note 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 Note 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 the Company to the Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Note, such excess shall be applied by the Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at the Purchaser’s election.

If requested by the Purchaser in writing within 20 days after receipt of any such notice, Company shall, at Company’s sole expense (other than the underwriting discounts, if any, payable in respect of the shares sold by the Purchaser), register or otherwise include all or, at Purchaser’s option, any portion of the Underlying Securities, concurrently with the registration of such other securities, all to the extent requisite to permit the public offering and sale of the Underlying Securities through the securities exchange, if any, on which the shares of common stock is being sold or on the over-the-counter market, and will use its reasonable best efforts through its officers, directors, auditors, and counsel to cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable.

 

(b)               In the event of a registration pursuant to these provisions, Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Underlying Securities so registered to be registered or qualified for sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Purchaser may reasonably request; provided, however, that Company shall not be required to qualify to do business in any state by reason of this section in which it is not otherwise required to qualify to do business.

 

(c)               Company shall keep effective any registration or qualification contemplated by this section and shall from time to time amend or supplement each applicable registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, application, document and communication for such period of time as shall be required to permit the Purchaser to complete the offer and sale of the Underlying Securities covered thereby.

(g)               Company shall within three (3) business days notify the Purchaser at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, would include an 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 not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the reasonable request of the Purchaser prepare and furnish to it such number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Underlying Securities, such prospectus shall not include 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 not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made. The Purchaser shall suspend all sales of the Underlying Securities upon receipt of such notice from Company and shall not re-commence sales until they receive copies of any necessary amendment or supplement to such prospectus, which shall be delivered to the Purchaser within 30 days of the date of such notice from Company.

Should Company’s legal counsel fail for any reason to issue the Legal Counsel Opinion, the Purchaser may (at Company’s cost) secure another legal counsel to issue the Legal Counsel Opinion, and Company will instruct its transfer agent to accept such opinion. Company shall not impede the removal by its stock transfer agent of the restricted legend from any common stock certificate upon receipt by the transfer agent of a Rule 144 Opinion Letter.

 

5.8               Listing. Company will, within 90 days of the Effective Date, list its Common Stock on the OTC Pink or any equivalent exchange or electronic quotation system, other than the OTC’s Expert Market, and will comply in all respects with Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, and such exchanges, as applicable, as well as with the SEC, and so long as the Purchaser owns any of the Securities, maintain such listing and trading of its Common Stock. Company shall promptly provide to the Purchaser copies of any notices it receives from the OTC and any other exchanges or electronic quotation systems on which the common stock is then traded regarding the continued eligibility of the common stock for listing on such exchanges and quotation systems.

 

 

 

 

5.9               Information and Observer Rights.

 

(a)               As long as the Purchaser owns at least five percent (5%) of the Securities originally purchased hereunder, Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by Company pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as the Purchaser owns at least five percent (5%) of the Securities originally purchased hereunder, if Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchaser and simultaneously make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchaser to sell the Securities under Rule 144. Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Purchaser to sell the Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144. If, after the Company becomes a fully reporting company subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company fails to remain current in its reporting obligations or to provide currently publicly available information in accordance with Rule 144(c) and such failure extends for a period of more than fifteen Trading Days (the date which such fifteen Trading Day-period is exceeded, being referred to as “Event Date”), then in addition to any other rights the Purchaser may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the information failure is cured, Company shall pay to the Purchaser an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to one percent (1%) of purchase price paid for the Securities held by the Purchaser at the Event Date. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an information failure (except in the case of the first Event Date).

 

(b)               As long as the Purchaser owns at least five percent (5%) of the Securities, if the Purchaser notifies Company that it wishes to attend meetings of Company’s Board of Directors, Company shall invite a designated representative of the Purchaser to attend all meetings of Company’s Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity and, in this respect, and subject to the Purchaser’s having informed Company that it wishes to attend, Company shall give such representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and other materials that it provides to its directors at the same time and in the same manner as provided to such directors; provided, however, that such representative shall agree to hold in confidence and trust and to act in a fiduciary manner with respect to all information so provided; and provided further, that Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude such representative from any meeting or portion thereof if access to such information or attendance at such meeting could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between Company and its counsel or result in disclosure of trade secrets or a conflict of interest.

 

5.10           Confidentiality. The Purchaser agrees that the it will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge, or use for any purpose (other than to monitor its investment in the Company) the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any confidential information obtained from the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including notice of Company’s intention to file a registration statement), unless such confidential information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 5.10 by the Purchaser), (b) is or has been independently developed or conceived by the Purchaser without use of the Company’s confidential information, or (c) is or has been made known or disclosed to the Purchaser by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the Company; provided, however, that the Purchaser may disclose confidential information (i) to its attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring its investment in the Company; (ii) to any prospective purchaser of any Securities from the Purchaser, if such prospective purchaser agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5.10; (iii) to any existing or prospective affiliate, partner, member, stockholder, or wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser in the ordinary course of business, provided that the Purchaser informs such person that such information is confidential and directs such person to maintain the confidentiality of such information; or (iv) as may otherwise be required by law, provided that the Purchaser notifies the Company within three (3) business days of such disclosure and takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure.

 

5.11           Restrictions on Activities.

 

(a)               Commencing as of the date first above written, and so long as the Company has an obligation under the Note, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, without the Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld: (a) change the nature of its business; (b) sell, divest, acquire, change the structure of any material assets other than in the ordinary course of business; (c) solicit any offers for, respond to any unsolicited offers for, or conduct any negotiations with any other person or entity in respect of any Variable Rate Transactions (defined below); (d) accept a Merchant-Cash-Advance in which it sells future receivables at a discount or any other factoring transactions, or similar financing instruments or financing transactions, whether a transaction similar to the one contemplated hereby or any other investment; or (e) Enter into a borrowing arrangement where the Company pays an effective APR greater than 20%.

 

 

 

 

(b)               Unless approved by the Purchaser, Company and each Subsidiary shall not enter into an agreement or amend an existing agreement to effect any sale of securities involving, or convert any securities previously issued under, a Variable Rate Transaction or a merchant cash advance transaction in which it sells future receivables at a discount, or a substantially similar transaction. The term “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which Company or any Subsidiary (i) issues or sells any convertible securities either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of, or quotations for, the shares of common stock at any time after the initial issuance of such convertible securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such convertible securities or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, or the market for the common stock, other than pursuant to a customary “weighted average” anti-dilution provisions, or (ii) enters into any agreement (including, without limitation, an “equity line of credit” or an “at-the-market offering”) whereby Company or any Subsidiary may sell securities at a future determined price (other than standard and customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights). The Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against Company and its Subsidiaries to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.

 

5.12           Sale of Assets; Issuance of Equity or Debt. Should Company sell any material assets, or issue any equity, debt, or other security, including the sale of any Subsidiary, the Purchaser shall have the right to be repaid on any outstanding amount owed under the Securities from the proceeds of any such sale or offering, based on the applicable repayment terms stated in such Security, but if a Security provides no terms with respect to the repayment of the amounts owed from the proceeds of such sale or offering, then Purchaser shall have the right to be repaid on any outstanding amount owed under the Securities by up to 100% of the proceeds of any such sale or offering.

 

5.13           Right of Participation. For a period of two (2) years from the date hereof, in the event Company or any Subsidiary proposes to offer and sell its securities, whether in the form of debt, Equity Financing (defined below), or any other financing transaction (each a “Future Offering”), the Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the purchase of the securities being offered up to an amount equal to the principal amount or tated amount with respect to any Security (the “Participation Right”). For the avoidance of doubt, an “Equity Financing” shall mean Company’s or its Subsidiary’s sale of its common stock or any securities conferring the right to purchase Company’s or Subsidiary’s common stock or securities convertible into, or exchangeable for (with or without additional consideration), shares of the Company’s or Subsidiary’s common stock. In connection with each Participation Right, Company shall provide written notice to the Purchaser of the terms and conditions of the Future Financing at least ten business days prior to the anticipated first closing of such Future Financing (the “FF Notice”). If the Purchaser shall elect to exercise its Participation Right, it shall notify Company, in writing, of such election at least five business days prior to the anticipated closing date set forth in the FF Notice (the “Participation Notice”). In the event the Purchaser does not return a Participation Notice to Company within such five-business day period, the Participation Right granted hereunder shall terminate and be of no further force and effect; provided, however, that such Participation Right shall be reinstated if the anticipated closing referenced in the FF Notice does not occur prior to thirty business days following the anticipated first closing date specified in such FF notice.

 

5.14           Right of First Refusal. So long as the Company shall have any obligation under the Securities or the Subscription Documents, but in any case for a period of no less than eighteen (18) months from the date hereof, if the Company or any Subsidiary has a bona fide offer of capital or financing from any third party that the Company or any Subsidiary intends to act upon, other than an underwritten initial public offering of the Common Shares, then the Company must first offer such opportunity to the Purchaser to provide such capital or financing to the Company or Subsidiary on the same terms as each respective third party’s terms. Should the Purchaser be unwilling or unable to provide such capital or financing to the Company or Subsidiary within 10 Trading Days from Purchaser’s receipt of written notice of the offer (the “Offer Notice”) from the Company, then the Company or Subsidiary may obtain such capital or financing from that respective third party upon the exact same terms and conditions offered by the Company to the Purchaser, which transaction must be completed within 60 days after the date of the Offer Notice. If the Company or Subsidiary does not receive the capital or financing from the respective 3^rd party within 60 days after the date of the respective Offer Notice, then the Company must again offer the capital or financing opportunity to the Purchaser as described above, and the process detailed above shall be repeated. The Offer Notice must be sent via electronic mail to ***@*** Cc: ***@***.

 

 

 

 

5.15           Terms of Future Financings. So long as any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Subscription Documents are outstanding, upon any issuance of (or announcement of intent to effect an issuance of) any security, or amendment to (or announcement of intent to effect an amendment to) any security that was originally issued before the Issue Date, by the Company or any Subsidiary, with any term that the Purchaser reasonably believes is more favorable to the Purchaser of such security than to the Purchaser in the Securities or the Subscription Documents, or with a term in favor of the Purchaser of such security that the Purchaser reasonably believes was not similarly provided to the Purchaser in the Securities or the Subscription Documents, then (i) the Company shall notify the Purchaser of such additional or more favorable term within three (3) business days of the issuance and/or amendment (as applicable) of the respective security, and (ii) such term, at Purchaser’s option, shall become a part of the Securities or the Subscription Documents with the Purchaser (regardless of whether the Company complied with the notification provision of this Section 3.12). The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the Purchaser of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion price, conversion price discounts and adjustments, prepayment rate, conversion lookback periods, interest rates, original issue discounts, stock sale price, private placement price per share, commitment shares, and warrant coverage. If Purchaser elects to have the term become a part of the transaction documents with the Purchaser, then the Company shall immediately deliver acknowledgment of such adjustment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser (the “Acknowledgment”) within three (3) business days of Company’s receipt of request from Purchaser (the “Adjustment Deadline”), provided that Company’s failure to timely provide the Acknowledgement shall not affect the automatic amendments contemplated hereby.

 

5.16           Rollover Rights. So long as the Note is outstanding, if the Company completes a public offering or private placement of its equity, equity-linked or debt securities (each, a “Future Transaction”), the Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, elect to apply as purchase consideration for such Future Transaction (the “Rollover Rights”): (i) all, or any portion, of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note and any accrued but unpaid interest, including any amounts that would be added to the principal outstanding in the event that any redemption right or prepayment right is exercised by either the Purchaser or the Company, and (ii) any securities of the Company then held by the Purchaser, at their fair value (such elected portion of (i) and (ii) referred to herein as the “Rollover Consideration”). The Company shall give written notice to Purchaser as soon as practicable, but in no event less than fifteen (15) days before the anticipated closing date of such Future Transaction. The Purchaser may exercise its Rollover Rights by providing the Company written notice of such exercise within five (5) Business Days before the closing of the Future Transaction. In the event Purchaser exercises its Rollover Rights, then such Rollover Consideration, shall automatically convert into the corresponding securities issued in such Future Transaction under the terms of such Future Transaction, such that the Purchaser will receive all securities (including, without limitation, any warrants) issuable under the Future Transaction, provided however, that the conversion price applicable to such conversion shall equal eighty percent (80%) of the cash purchase price paid per share, unit or other security denomination for the Company securities issued in the Future Financing to other investors in the Future Transaction. With respect to a Public Offering, the securities acquired upon exercise of Rollover Rights may be subject to standard underwriter lock up if required by the underwriter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall be required to exercise its Rollover Rights with respect to the Preferred Shares, in an amount equal to a minimum of $500,000 of Stated Value (as defined in the Designation).

 

5.17           Breach of Covenants. The Company acknowledges and agrees that if the Company breaches any covenants set forth in this Section, in addition to any other remedies available to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 4.3 of the Note.

 

 

 

 

 

5.18           Transfer Agent Instructions. Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to Company’s transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of the Purchaser or its nominee, upon issuance of shares pursuant to the Note or exercise of the Warrant, in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Purchaser to Company in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). In the event that Company proposes to replace its transfer agent, Company shall provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserved shares of common stock in the Reserved Amount (as defined in the Note)) signed by the successor transfer agent to Company and Company. Prior to registration of the Underlying Securities under the Securities Act or the date on which the Underlying Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 4.8 of this Agreement. Company warrants that: (i) no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5.18 will be given by Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Note; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for Securities to be issued to the Purchaser upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement; (iii) it will not fail to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Securities issued to the Purchaser upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement and (iv) it will provide any required corporate resolutions and issuance approvals to its transfer agent within one (1) business day of each conversion of the Note. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Purchaser’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section 5.6 hereof to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If the Purchaser provides Company, at the cost of Company, with (i) an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) the Purchaser provides reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144, Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Securities, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Purchaser. Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Purchaser, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5.18 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

5.19           Further Assurances. The Purchaser agrees and covenants that at any time and from time to time it will execute and deliver to the Company such further instruments and documents and take such further action as the Company may reasonably require within three (3) business days of any such request in order to carry out the full intent and purpose of this Agreement and to comply with state or federal securities laws or other regulatory approvals.

 

5.20           Exchange Act Reporting. If the Company is already an SEC reporting company on the Effective Date, then at any time after the Effective Date, or if the Company is not an Exchange Act Reporting Company on the Effective Date, then at any time after the Company becomes subject to and fully compliant with the SEC reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, it shall be an event of default under the Note and this Agreement if the Company fails to maintain such fully reporting status (including but not limited to becoming delinquent in its filings).
